Stockholm shopping

This weekend I went to Stockholm to visit some good friends. I also did some Christmas shopping:

A second hand jewelry box/mirror for Eo and a handmade and fair trade bracelet for myslef, from Afroart.

Glad Lucia!

It’s been a busy fall for me, which means it’s been unusually quiet here. Now I’m hoping for a change. Today I’m working from home, just me and the cat. Happy Lucia to all of you!

our apartment

Nice earrings from Johanna B. Made of second hand fabrics.

Took me hours by trial-and-error last night to unravell the yarn into balls (why why WHY doesn’t all yarn come in balls?) but now I’m ready to go…Time to start knitting!

Making salad

Every Wednesday night we have dinner with five other families who are all our neighbours. We take turns in preparing the meal. Last time it was our turn to make salad and dessert. Eo and Ester made the salad almost all by themselves.

We’ve had a very nice, but busy weekend. On Friday we took the day off and went on a mini vacation; we took the ferry to Denmark and stayed at a water theme park hotel until yesterday. Today, both Eowyn and Ester had their dance classes and in the afternoon we went to a kids play on the theatre. Oh, and on Thursday, Johan and I went to the theatre as well. We saw a really good play with excellent actors. It made me both laugh and cry, which I’d say is most unusual. I’d almost forgotten how much I love the theatre!
