Weekly update 15/52 Easter break

Easter break was great. We went home to Sweden and got to see both snow but also nice and sunny spring weather. We haven't been since Autumn-break so it felt good to go home and see family, friends and our house. We managed to do a lot during our two week break.
Landed in Stockholm and stayed with my mother. Me and Mila went with my sister to her horse in real April weather. After stable we went to see Ronja the Robber's dauther at Theater Intiman in Stockholm. Great show for the whole family.

After Stockholm up to Tällberg and skiing in Grönklitt Orsa - great weather and kids loved skiing

Mila's first show jumping competition - Easter maskerade jumping at my old riding school
She rode her summer camp pony Candy and managed a nice clear round

Easter egg hunt in the forrest. The Easter bunny had left yellow feathers to follow through the forrest up to the Troll mountain

Traditional Swedish Easter lunch - with eggs, salmon, omelett, sill, meatballs, sausages, potatoes, caviar etc etc

Visited friends and had friends over. Filip decided he wanted to catch a fish ( for the pond) and picked the sunniest day for it.

Time home at Lundsätter - relaxing but also preparing the garden for summer. Potatoes, onions, garlick, carrot, sugar snaps and persilja planted and huge fence put up to prevent all the deer from eating it.

Our dog Bozze was happy to have us home for a few days

Happy Easter!

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...
