Weekly update 8/52 Spring patterns and thoughts of being obedient covid puppets

 Another week has past and here in Düsseldorf the past few days has really felt like spring. Birds are singing like crazy and some spring flowers are blossoming. 




I have ordered some new fabrics with very happy and spring influenced prints. All cotton and BIO certified from a German company I found. I am making gift bags which I will be selling on the market here in Düsseldorf which is coming up end of March. 

Loren came back from his trip to Sweden and brought back Semla ( special Swedish pastry which we eat in February) 


And I keep brightening up life with all the nice an colorful flowers 


I have a lot to write about what I think about all this covid vaccin exaggeration and all this current super weird restrictions here in Germany mainly connected to how many times you have been vaccinated. It is all so crazy and idiotic. But we are not suppose to talk about our unhappiness or questions things. Basically we have lost the right to be even just a little source critical. Mass majority of us continues to trust what we are being fed from media. To question and wanting facts are not the same as being anti or against something. But this pandemia has had a scary affect on us human beings.  And how media have failed us with only showing one side and not the other. How researches has not been done correctly but adjusted to show what companies and governments behind the studies wants to be presented to us. And how we are not talking about this. 
And how many times should we inject vaccins into our bodies? And since when have politicians become doctors capable of advising the whole population to take the vaccine which we still don´t know what it contains and heaven forbid let´s not talk about side effects from the vaccine. But we should do it for solidarity reasons - really do we stil believe in that?! We still get sick and we can still spread it right. Again I am not a antivaxx person I have done my two doses but for me it is enough this year as I feel it is just wrong to keep vaccinate a young healthy person with boosters and booster on top of yet some more boosters. 
When will we stop being scared and get real and say enough? When will tests and scientific studies be true to us? And will we ever understand that having different opinion is ok and wanting facts are our rights. 
It makes me frustrated and sad - how stupid have we become!? 
I read slogan last week that the Washington Post has started to use
"Democracy dies in darkness"
So true and such scary fact that is was so easy to make us all to into obedient puppets..

Have a good week !

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...
