heart house

I feel inspired to sew when I’m at the summerhouse.

There are always some small careful changes made there each season by Helmi (that I love to notice) as though she were some kind of magic fairy who likes to move things around.

I made a heart

for our baby

Maybe I will make a blanket to go with it.

Away we go..

Mr A’s Birthday Weekend Adventure x x

Mr A is officially into an adult age.. don’t worry dear my number is soon to join yours. His smile gets more magnificent to me each year. Love this hunk of a man child.

It was THAT pretty.

Popcorn

I’m trying to decide right now if I want popcorn or not. I like the buttery goodness as it melts in my mouth but I don’t like having my hands greasy and salty. I’ve never liked having my hands greasy or sticky- even when I was very little.

Some say that the early stages of being pregnant feels like popcorn popping. I can’t really say that I felt that.. but I can feel the little wriggler moving and I know it is restless like its mum.

I think I’ll have that popcorn now..

We find out next week (hopefully) what the stork is bringing!

Christmas get-away!

emma — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:50:59 +0000

I knew that this time would creep up suddenly as it has! Don’t you just wish that about now right before all the festivities completely take off.. that you could just get away for a couple of days, to catch your breath, have some relax time and slow down a bit before getting ready to dive back on the roller coaster of seasonal good will?

Well.. we were kind of expecting to feel that way and that is why months ago we booked a little time together on a trip to Stockholm. Actually We were making the most of a given situation that my works Christmas lunch is there.. and my work were already paying my flight so why not we thought pay the extra and upgrade the room for two and stay the extra night.. to make a full weekend out of it. We have been looking mucho forward to this and can’t believe that its already here and that we leave tomorrow. A day to party and eat, a day to shop and a day for a looong lie in!

We will be staying at the lovely Nordic light hotel which gets its name for its being equipped with light therapy suites.. and by the way has very comfy Swedish designer beds, its just a very nice hotel!

Santa Claus is Coming

I am soo excited about Christmas already! Ok so I have been for like a month already.. but seriously- how excited can one girl possibly be?!

Its going to be a busy couple of weeks next, but I managed to make it to Mrs Lene’s Juledecoration night and will continue the joy of playing with branches and candles again tomorrow night *big smile* and then with family on Sunday again me thinks. Yess it is approaching already the first of the four Sundays before Christmas, and yes I will have my calender candles ready.. and then some.

love it love it looove it!!

This one wasn’t a very good juledecoration from last year but its a juledecoration all the same.. this years will be much nicer! (I hope!)

Will come for those who love
For those who love

Deep in the heart
I know it is love
It is love that’s the answer
Cause love won me over

Retro brain

emma — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:22:16 +0000

Yes yes I have retro on the brain.. here are a couple of things that are not budging from my head since I’ve seen them.. There is this.. (if only I had a little more wall space in my hall or kitchen!) I found as browsing through lene’s blog which was created by a rather marvelous friend of hers called Nathalie who’s creations can be viewed here I’m rather liking the Jul owl decorations.. yep now you want a peak!

Mum’s the word

Then there’s my amazingly talented mum, has the touch of an angel when it comes to anything yarn, I just saw her latest creation on her little shop bloggy and as always am delighted by her and her beauty and patience.. The photos are also super and an example of the talent that runs in our family- I believe that perhaps my father took these snaps and that my little sister edited them, perhaps she took one of them too.. you can see more of her photography here.

And then there are these! Which I was a very lucky girl to receive.. from my finder brother in laws one whom has an amazing antique store- what a find and how lucky am I to be thought of as the receiver for such a find! There is a whole collection of well cared for knitting pins plus sewing and Knitting magazines dating back to the 50’s! Check out the Pom pom templates..
