Name tags

My daughter has vacation from daycare and I from my job. It’s sooooo nice!
I made some name tags for my daughters teachers at daycare. My daughter is starting a new daycare after the summer, so she had some goodbye gifts for her teachers.

More flea market finds

I found a flea market way out in the woods. It was in an old stable and they had so much beautiful old things! Here is some of the finds I bought:



A beautiful old tin can


Old wooden cotton reels and a thimble


A container for soft soap

Old linen with crochet-work

Pattern books for monograms and cross-stitching and an old rolling pin

A drawer used in old printer shops (Kastlåda in Swedish)

Crafty weekend

This weekend has been a crafty one. I have made a couple of granny squares and glued some paper on a little drawer (FIRA) from IKEA. I have it in my crafty little place, I’m not finished with the interior design yet… But soon, very soon!! :-)

My first granny squares!

Oh, I’m so proud of myself! I’ve finally learnt how to do granny squares. It is so much fun! I think I maybe got an addiction… I want to crochet all the time! This is going to be a blanket for my sister’s baby. The baby isn’t expected until early August so I have a few months to get it ready. And I can tell you that I need that time!

My first ripple!

I’ve finished my first ripple! It’s a blanket for my daughter’s doll. I want to crochet a bedspread for my bed. But I think it’s maybe too much to take on at this time…

It’s a whimsical life

A couple of weeks ago Sweet Pea had a giveaway to celebrate that it was two years since she started to blog. The winner could pick any print that they wanted from her Etsy shop. And I won!!!! Today I received my package from Canada, and I’m so happy! Look at all the goodies I got!

This is the print I picked from her Etsy shop.
"Must have shrunk in the wash"


And I got a cute little bunny! I promise to take care of here and make her feel like home!


Look at her beautiful necklace…


and the flowers!

A bunch of cute greeting cards!

More goodies!

Thank you so much Susan! I love it!!

I’m learning how to crochet!

I bought this book at the big book sale we have in Sweden in February. So far I have learnt how to crochet in ripple technique. It’s difficult to read the pattern when you never have done it before. I would never have pulled it of if it wasn’t for my mother in-law. It’s nice to have someone to ask and who can show you how it’s done!
This book is available in English too.
