Tulips in Grevenbroich

I might sound like an old lady but I don't care ( as Mila would say..) my dream was to go and see the big colorful Tulip fields in Keukenhof in the Netherlands this year. I had planned that I might first go with a friend and then also bring the family along. I had already last year checked the dates for when the Tulip fields will blossom the most and when the special tulip gardens will open. But hey Corona came made people skick and closed the borders. I thought no big tulip fields experience for me this year. Until I was scrolling through Facebook and found that our next-door neighbor had newly taken picture of the family in front of a huge colorful tulip field. I asked them tell me where they've been and it turns out that these big fields are from here in Germany only 30 min from Düsseldorf in a small place called Grevenbroich. I was very excited to check it out, take pictures and show the family something beautiful and pretty unique for this area. When I shared my plans with the kids they both started to complain loudly and asked me if I could not come up with something more boring then going to see a field of tulips. You would have thought that since they had been stuck in quarantine for a few weeks they would be happy to go on a small trip to see something else...
It was a windy day after very warm sunny weather we have had for weeks it was a chock to the system - but we enjoyed our picknick out of the wind kids sitting in the trunk and me and Loren at the front ( it felt like something I did when I was a kid and traveling to Idre) The fileds were beautiful and we had a nice day and I bought some nice tulips from the fileds to enjoy at home.

I tried to arrange one of those beautiful pictures when all family members are happy smiling looking into the camera with this great background...

Weekly update 42/52 New fleece hats ready for the cooler weather

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro. New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are. Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations. I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves. I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...
