1 0 0









This is what I got after a visit at my local secondhand store.
A not perfect, but sweet cloth. Two blankets. Three dollies.
One wonderful shirt, love the fabric. Three plates.
One old china box. Two "grytekluter".
One vintage apron and one sunhat.
All this for 100,- (10 euros) Lucky me!

NEW LAYOUT & TORNADO ALMA





I wanted a new layout for my blog for a while now, but I never find the time. Cause it takes TIME! But today I did, find some time. Usually I
play with Alma and I tend to pick her up in the second she asks for it. But not today. She´s been playing alone so happy on the floor. Taking
everything out, and I mean everything. She´s been everywhere!
I wanted a change so I could show you larger pictures. I´m getting there.
My little tornado is now at sleep and I have to hurry and do something useful. Like taking a shower or clean up her mess before the rest of the
family arrives.

YEY FOR LEGO


This weekends teamwork. The girls has been busy.
They are so sweet with each other.

ALL DRESED UP FOR FALL


We call this beautiful flower for china-lantern her in Norway.

BIRTHDAY PRESENT




Here´s a small idea on what to buy for a birthday present.
I have done this several times and with happy faces.
I make my very own artist-bag from "søstrene grene".
They have the sweetest bags and a lot of fun for a small (and big) artist.
Mathea loves to give these presents away :)

NEW COUCH + OLD DRESS









Finally, our new couch. Love it! The picture-wall is not ready jet,
still some work to do. As you can see the chairs are still pink :)
My old dress that my grandma made for me. I love the bright pink.
I´m on my way making one for Alma (with some softer yarn).
Trying to figure out how she made it, and that means I have to
count....and count...and count!

MR. PLYSTRE

Meet Mr Plystre. A tiny person made by me with love. I even gave him a hat, he told me that he loves it. He is so sweet, different, but sweet. I like him.

But the other day he disappeared. He was gone, until I opened my small cabinet where I keep my matches. There he was, sad and lonely. Not trapped, just lonely.


He told me that he felt like he did not belong here, that he felt different and that he knew where to go. I told him that I would always love him and that he had to do what felt right for him. Poor thing.

So he told me, he was going to Gøteborg. To Camilla Engman. He never met her, but he loves her work and he had a feeling that her characters would understand him. I hope they do. He does not need much. If I know him right he will be happy just getting a place in a drawer.

So of he went the next morning. My Mr. Plystre. The sun was shining on his hat.

LAMPSHADE DIY


New skirt for my lamp made from one of my favorite fabrics. Its really easy to make, so here´s some DIY for you in the autumn sun/rain: Just measure the bottom of the shade so the fabric will fit tight. Sew the fabric together and make place for the elastic band in top and bottom of the skirt. Make sure that the fabric is higher than the actual shade, that way it will make a hole for the light in the bottom. The larger the fabric is the smaller the hole. Wish you luck :)

QUEEN OF THE HOUSE





Yesterday I had a lovely visit from the journalist Christina Skreiberg and photographer  Margaret M. de Lange. The case will come in KK later this year,  together with Pickles. It´s all about handiwork. Thank you ladies, it was a lot of fun.

OOOPS...


A nice reader of mine commented on Almas bottles shown below, and told me that they contain Bisphenol A (BPA). After reading the study, I´m throwing mine away. Here´s a list (Norwegian) over the safe ones.

Thank you for letting me know! And that reminds me to take a closer look into new stuff before I recommend it. Scary!

MY LOVE




Sweet & wonderful, just perfect. I guess I feel like every mom does :)

This blog is getting more and more baby pictures, but I promise you some interior soon. The couch has arrived and we are so happy. So when the house is tidy and everything is on place I´ll give you a small house-tour.  Of to some housework!
