Weekly update 34/52 Birthday, school start and fully moved in

Summer is coming to an end. It was a very rainy summer and never before have I experienced so few sun hours and not being able or tempted to go to the lake to swim. My birthday is a sign that school start in close. I had a great birthday my dad, uncle and friends came over to celebrate with cake and bubbles in the new house. I got nice gifts and on the picture I am wearing my new Sauna hat since we now have a sauna in the house. We are now fully moved in to our new house although still a lot to organize and to find the right place for things. The house feels good, it is a comfortable town house in a neighborhood which is not more then 10-15 years old and still new apartment buildings are getting built. Kids have schools close by, only 5 minutes walk if that. Big difference for me and Filip who have had a long way to drive through Düsseldorf to get to his previous school.
17 aug school-start - nervous to meet their new classmates and teachers. Maybe I was the most nervous. We had done some nice starting school shopping the day before and both were set for a new beginning. All have gone well for them and fingers crossed they will keep getting more and more comfortable in their new schools. Mila has also started at her riding-school and it seems great place to learn.

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 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 ...
