lots and lots of pictures

Went a little crazy going though the archives of this blog. I justify this looong trip down memory lane like this: When i moved my blog here in the summer of 2008 i had 70 visits a day - today ungt blod has 1500 visits daily - to there is a good chance many of you haven't seen these photos before :) (and heads up: I have only gone through photos up until july 12th 2008 ...so more to come!?)

▶ everyone: its a nice watch! -and dad: Im sorry, but you are not getting it for your birthday!

watch

I recently bought a watch. Its the first watch I have bought in a long time (its from here) and I bought it not because i needed it, just because I thought it was beautiful. After I have started wearing it, I have discovered two things: First of all there are many times throughout the day where I actually was missing a wrist watch without knowing it. I still haven't gotten used to it and I find myself thinking several times a day: "oh I wish I knew what time it was...... wait!". The other thing I have discovered is how much I enjoy seeing the time displayed beautifully. I really appreciate aesthetics and where the time before was just some numbers, its now all together a pleasant experience.

▶ everyone: I can report that I have finished a couple of sewing projects and packed away the rest of the fabric for later adventures. Feels good to get it out of the way

a ton

I have a ton of stuff i need to finish up - i don't really like sewing but i have a lot of ideas and a lot of great fabric so i just need the motivation -and energy. Still have more headache than energy

energy

Both D and I are sick. Elinor started daycare last week (wooohooo -we had been waiting for that for so long) and brought home a nice cold for the whole family -she is fine though, its the grown ups that are sniffling, coughing and looking half dead. Feeling half dead too. Don't want to bring you all down - just really want my energy back!

Sweet people

The other day i got the nicest surprise! The postman brought a package from Italy, from the sweeeeet sweet Dessa of 1911 and The Good Machinery! Out of the blue she sent me two of her fantastic colourful animals, delicious chocolate and a very special coffee AND almost the best; a sweet sweet letter. It was one of those heart warming moments where an -almost- total stranger does something nice, just like that! So thank you again, Dessa! it made my weekend!

▶ Everyone: Still so so tired -and a little sick too, so i will just say: Thank you so much for the sweet comments! Yes, the birdfeeder is a suctioncup with a plastic ball where the food go, D got if for christmas from his grandmother and im not sure where it is from -some swedish company i think!

tired

Happy weekend everyone. Im so so tired and have so many things i SHOULD be doing.. instead i just want to drink coffee and wait for the birds to find the food we have put out for them...

knit

I knitted a scarf -first one in a long time. Knitting is such a good way to relax but it hurt my hands if i do it too much

▶ EVERYONE: big <3
 

best friends

Best of friends! How lucky can you be that you have the best damn dog in the whole world who will let this little red haired panda into our lives no problemo?? He lets her poke him and stroke him a bit too hard and she sticks her open mouth in his face if she gets the chance, just hoping for a kiss and he never fails to cheer her up if she is sad. Sometimes its clear; Elinor loves Rufus just a bit more than Rufus loves Elinor. But his solution in those situations? He simply leaves the room. Such a good dog. My dog. (Sorry for the image overload -i could not limit myself. /  Thank you to D -the photographer behind these little moments of gold / Rufus and Elinor is watching Coming to America -best movie nostalgia!)

▶ Emily: I love whippet sleeping positions. They are masters of relaxing!
▶ Elitsa: It is tricky -and sticky!
▶ Maria: She was so sleepy when the picture was taken! its so difficult to sleep other places than her own bed when there is good company around
▶ Irene: Oh, thank you so much!!
▶ Jokemijn: We are gonna test a new one tomorrow - we found a video on youtube!
▶ Young: Når vi har fundet den perfekte opskrift åbner vi en lille crispy roll shop!
▶ Maria Libert: Thank you -try it out!
▶ Sofie: Så hyggeligt at få en kommentar fra dig!
▶ Irene: You should look around online for the lego head! maybe you can find it!
▶ Lena: Thank you!

crispy rolls and pop tarts

This is Louise -and Elinor of course. Yesterday we went to Louises place (and Rasmus' -but he wasn't there) to experiment with the fabled crispy rolls! -deep fried maki rolls. And no, its not just maki with some sort of tempura veggies or shrimps -its the whooooole roll that is tempura'ed! They were goooood, but not perfect. We are going back wednesday to try another recipe! Crispy rolls will save the world. Louise has started a blog recently. I love it! More good people blogging!
