Weekly update 5/52 Iron-on and mixed creativity

Week 5 of 2023 and after a fair share of very grey days here in Düsseldorf it was very very nice to see some sun rays again. I know it is nearly like spring here if you compare it to Sweden but after 4,5 years here I have now a higher standard for what spring is and to be honest I can't wait for it ( I am guessing I am not the only one)
Last week I was busy going for some necessary but not so fun appointments. A friend of my told me that she tries to book all necessary check ups in January so she will be done with it, I like that idea instead of avoiding to book and just thinking about which I tend to do. So I have removed birthmarks ( I was soooo nervous) done an ultrasound on my breast to make sure all ok, and now I should also book dentist appointments for me and the kids. Dentist for me definitely before moving back to Sweden because In Germany check up is covered by insurance and also simple fillings and in Sweden a small robbery for just a check-up.

On the creative side this week I have continued to print pictures on transfer iron-on paper. I also bought an alfabet sheet of iron on letters and have made some pouches with both text and pictures - fun! Valentines day is coming up so I have made a couple of personal pen cases

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

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...

Weekly update 38/52 Örebro Autumn market in summer sun

It was exciting to participate at my first market being back in Örebro, Sweden. It was an Autumn market in the beautiful setting of Karlslund Estate in Örebro. Most exhibitor were selling locally grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Also jams, marmelades, bakeries and cheeses. It was a sunny beautiful day and it attracted a lot of people. It was fun to finally again set up my display and show my products. The market stand/table I rented from the organizer and it was perfect size and cute. My best-sellers were my hats in smaller sizes. Amd to next market I need to make more fleece-lined hats since it gets cooler here in Swedem during the winter.
