Weekly Update 13/52 Hamburg Trip

For my birthday last year I got a weekend with my friends in Hamburg. Greatest gifts are things to do together. It is not easy to find a weekend which fits everyone when having active lives, but last weekend was planned since a couple of months and I was very excited to meet up, catch up and hang out.
I left Düsseldorf in the afternoon on a Flixtrain to Hamburg - it took ca. 3 hours. From Hamburg HBF I grabbed a taxi to Gastwerk Hotel a very nice hotel with industrial elements since it was made in the old Gaswerk. We had a great weekend. Nice dinners, spa in the hotel, long rainy walk, vintage shopping and we ran into the cutest little creative shop "All my friends" concept store, Schanzenstraße.34, Hamburg.
Saturday evening we had a great dinner in a Asian fusion restaurant on 500 meters from our hotell called Madame Mai. Because of yet another strike in Germany I had to head back to Düsseldorf early Sunday morning but we had a very very nice weekend. Thank you for organizing this.

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...
