Ester’s got new (but old) pair of red overalls. Then Eowyn wanted to have overalls as well, luckily I had a pair of brown ones tucked away (they were too big when I bought them). They’ve got a real nice seventies feel about them. :-)
This weekend we’ve celebrated midsommar (=midsummer), which is a big holiday here in Sweden. You it herring and strawberries, drink snaps, and, if you’re under the age of five at least, you dance silly dances around one of these (no I don’t mean Ester, but the big pole-thingie in the background):
Ester had a very cool clover-dress, that I got for Eowyn when she was little, made of vintage fabric. Eowyn was matching in her favorite hat from florin, also made out of vintage clover-fabric, and a brand new dress from Brita Sweden, made of organic cotton. I got it at the sale at Juniform (thanks for the tip, Ylva!). It was actually meant for Ester but it was too big, so it fitted Eowyn.
Both matched their outfits with a pair of cool jeans. :)
I wish I could say that I had sewn this pretty hat myself.. But I haven’t :) Found it during my Stockholm trip at a second hand store with children clothes. It fits her perfectly though and the colors and pattern are really cool.
And today we did some more second hand shopping. Johan found a really nice suit, a shirt and a pair of jeans in one of the city’s better second hand stores. All for a third of the cost of a a similar, but new, suit. Good for me, or should I say the household economy, since I just bought a second pair of new (but sustainable!) shoes… :-)
I’m done with my first ever knitted hat. It was supposed to be a christmas/Santa Clause hat for my 6-months old daughter. It turned out like this:
Do I need to say I did it without following a knitting pattern (and in my first draft I was actually gonna make it twice as big…)? Lucky for me, according to the Cult of Done Manifesto failure counts as done so - I’m done!
