Happy happy Me!!!!

På baksidan av huset finns en påbyggnad så det är större än vad det ser ut. Bakom garaget finns det en trädgård med fruktträd och grönsaksland, det är ju perfekt för mig!!
On the backside there's an extension of the house and on the backyard there's a fruit and vegetable garden. Great for me isn't it?
Idag fick jag mitt "Vita gåvor" paket från Finland. Kiitos min hemliga vän. Det här passade oss väldigt bra särskilt den lilla skylten med huset :).
Today I received a package from Finland. It was from a secret friend in a swap I'm joining. Kiitos my secret friend. It suits us perfect doesn't it. Specially the little house sign. :)

Darkness, Fire and a Deep forest
First of all I will tell you who won in my monthly give away. I gave every comment a number and wrote everyone on a paper and picked one.... nr 46 that is Mamma Millan, congratulations. I will send her the bracelet as soon as I get her adress.
När livet är lite motigare än vanligt så behöver man återhämtning ännu mer. Sagt och gjort så packade vi våra väskor med varmare kläder och åkte till Johans stuga.

A little sign
Sorry for my delay of updates here, but I have too much going on right now. Well I told you in the last post what I'm doing so I don't have to repeat it.
Denna helg ska vi åka till Johans fäbod igen. Det kommer att vara snorkallt och väderleksrapporten har lovat snöblandat på söndagmorgon. Jag har packat ner allt i ylle och långkalsonger. Men det ska bli mysigt ändå. Vi ska sitta vid elden och grilla marshmallows och lyssna på brasknaster. Det här behöver vi grymt mycket kan jag bara säga.
This weekend we will go to Johans cottage again. It will be freezing cold and the weather report has promised some snow in the morning. I've packed my wool winterclothes. It will though be cosy, sitting by the fire and eat grilled marsmallows and listen to the snaping sound of burning wood. There is no electric installations, no watercloset, just primitive life with oil lamps and candles. We really need this, that's all I can say.
Nästa vecka hoppas jag att jag kan berätta något roligt för er, jag är så hoppfull. Men tills dess ha det underbart och sköt om er!
Next week we will be excited about something, secret this far. But I hope I'll have something fun to tell as soon as I know. Hugs and take care!

All work and no play
Sad but true I'm an full time working woman and a half time student and upon that I'll try to be a caring mother. That's why I haven't been visible here lately. But I take a photo of things happening and a few days ago my mother gave me these books. The complete collection are twelve wonderful child books filled with rhymes and stories. I loved to read these as a child. My grandmother read these books for my father when he was a little boy. These are a real childhood treasure of mine. Now the turn has come to Tuli to hear those bedtime stories.
I visited one of the biggest fleamarket event's in this town for a few weeks ago. I was disappointed because I couldn't find that much bargains as I used to do earlier years, everything was expensive. I came home with an old suitcase, 3 old calendars (I will use them for some journal projects), an iron piece for a lamp and some technical magazines (yes I'm interested in technical history as well).

Picture of Pitchers
In my apartment, someone before me Painted the inside of the cupboard light green. I think its pretty. Maybe I will take down the doors to show whats inside. This is my collection of pitchers. I haven't really collected them they just happened to be more and more of them.
I just have to show you what my 9-year old son made for me. He was very eager to cook the dinner for me yesterday and to arrange the food on the plates as well. This is a tower of boiled (yes boiled *lol*) cucumber and carrots topped with macaronis , a sauce-something and a few meatballs. I admit, it was tasty. But the boy left his vegetables on the plate. I think he's very clever.

En ny tid, september
The air gets thin and easy to breath. Autumn is here. I comfort myself with busy work. At my job a new project, I've started university studies again, it's time to run i the forest with my children and I have at last the energy to start my monthly giveaways. That's great isn't it ? Just leave a comment any time during september and I will by random pick a winner at the end of the month.
This is how my giveaway looks this month. Its a bracelet or cuff, whatever. I made one for myself, one for my stepdaughter and one for you. This is the dashing couple I found at the thriftstore the last day. Arent they wonderful. This is what many tourist bought in the 70's for a keepsake at their sun trip to Spain. I bought it for a friend I wanted to cheer up a little.
Doesn't the skirts look like the petals of the pelargoniums. The white and red striped one is called Mallorca, suiting name. The pink one is Powder Puff and the Cerise is Stora Hyttnäs (a very local sort).
Ha en bra vecka! / Have a wonderful week!
