Do you read?

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I read. I usually read on the train to work and in bed - and whenever I can. That is to say - when I’m not sewing, knitting, crotcheting or listening to podcasts… or doing housework (but I try not to do that…).
I now only read books on my Iphone. Tried that yet? I love […]

Moving in

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

We’ve been living here for two weeks plus now and we’re loving it. It’s everything we hoped for and more… just need to sell our wonderful apartment. We had 7 great years there and until this house showed up it was our dream home. Now we’re waiting for someone else having that same feeling.

I don’t know if that is a word, however we went to Rottneros Park in Sweden and in additon to the beautiful garden there were many areas where kids could play. At first I didn’t see them as they blended beautifully with the forrest.

Who wouldn’t want to live in a house like this?

Summer activities

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

My girls got a playhouse from my father. We’re staying in his house as part of our summer holiday. It’s great fun, lots of relaxation and the girls can do so many things on their own. My small contribution was sewing the curtains.
