Weekly update 13/52 Open-air Easter market

This week's update is all about the Open-air Easter market at Landhaus Freeman here in Düsseldorf. Landhaus Freeman is a popular restaurant with a big and well-visited beergarten. The open-air market is set up in their big garden and visitors to the market can have a brunch, lunch or just a drink. This weekend it was super busy and in order to get table for eat you would have had to made a reservation in advance.

This was my third market at Freeman and I have to admit I am starting to feel more and more comfortable setting up my stal and being at the market. First time was truly petrifying - to show all my hand-made stuff in public when I hardly show it even to friends. I also realized that I have managed to produced quit a lot of different stuff and it was great to see it all organized and colorful.
This market was an Easter market and as I have showed in this blog before I have made gift bags Easter bunny bags however I mostly sold hats,hairbands and Düsseldorf cards. The weather was great, warm and sunny. Lots of people came and it was a very good day. Mila came with me as company and had also decided to bring her super cute hand-made hobby horses to try to sell as she is saving to a real pony.
At the moment no more market then Advent markeket planned but I am thinking to look into some in Sweden while we are there this summer.

Mila sold one hobby horse Angel

We had also organized products to sell in bags in aid for Ukraine - we collected 1275€

Karatänuppdatering

Det har gått 15 dagar sedan jag sist gjorde en uppdatering om Corona statusen här i Düsseldorf Eftersom vi när skolorna beslutades att stängas var sjuka och ganska rejält sjuka hela gänget så kände vi först inte av hur livet i karantän eller isolering var eftersom vi även under vanliga omständigheter hade hållt oss hemma. Om vi hade Corona det får vi aldrig veta eftersom dom inte testar här i nuläget, men jag har aldrig blivit så risig av en vanlig förkylning med hosta, tungt i bröstet och väldigt väldigt lite energi. Det positiva var att det var inga problem att få kontakt med vården och den hjälp vi behövde här i Düsseldorf, vi ringde innan för att kolla om vi verkligen fick komma in med feber och det fick vi fast genom särskilda ingångar på sjukhuset. Känns tryggt också med den mindre barnklinik dit barnen går som vi hittills alltid har fått tid samma dag och även för oss vuxna walk in klinik utan att behöva ringa innan eller långa köer. Jag ska tillägga att vi inte har någon dyr p...

IF: Ocean

Ocean is this weeks topic on Illustration Friday. Prague is cold and snowy at the moment. A nice warm summer day is far away and so are the ocean. But we keep dreaming of warm sunny days and the ocean far away. Havet är veckans inspirationsord på Illustration Friday. Prag är snöigt och kallt idag. Sommarens varma väder är långt bort och det är havet också. Men vi drömmer om soliga dagar och havet långt borta.

A hate-love relationship

I have a love-hate relationship to washing. I love the feeling of putting things in the washing machine. If I don't have things in the washing basket ready for washing I go for a hunt around the apartment looking for things that can do with a wash. This behavior is totally inherited from my mother who could ask me to take clothes off so she could wash it ( possible that they also smelled a little horsey..) As much as I love the washing moment I hate the feeling of having to fold and put away washed and dried cloths.And don't even mention ironing, I refuse, a crease or two has never hurt anyone... These days the washing pile is bigger but at the same time more bright and colorful. Sweet little clothes for a sweet little girl. Jag har ett speciellt förhållande till att tvätta kläder, en passionerad hatkärlek. Kärleken riktas mot att få stoppa in kläder i tvättmaskinen för tvätt. Finns det inte mycket i tvättkorgen letar jag rätt på något som kan behöva en tvätt. ...
