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€

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...
