Folk Fibers

Maura Grace Ambrose from Folk Fibers makes the most beautiful baby quilts with natural dyes. Everything is handmade and with fine-fine colours. I'm dreaming of one for Molly. Maura Grace Ambrose has a nice blog on crafts, folklore, natural dyes and quilting as well.

Old Kitchen

Sophie from fine dage has a talent for finding photos of nice old kitchens in housing ads, as for example these and these. We are still dreaming of a place in the country and while browsing the web I stumbled upon this very fine little blue kitchen. The rest of the house is not interesting at all and neither is the location - but the kitchen has something about it.

Found here.

My Home Today

1. Favourite hairband from Fnubbu - always in my hair.
2. New blanket from a local second hand shop.
3. Little sweet thing.
4. Preparing invitations for Molly's baptism.
5. Toys everywhere - I like it.

Brooklyn Tweed - everything is so beautiful.

Little Friend

Today Agnes and her mom came to visit us. Agnes is 6 months now. Molly is 7 weeks. Time flies.
Below Molly is reading in her favourite book. Such a nice day.

Jørgen Clevin

A's mom has been good at keeping his and his sister's old books and toys - among others this pile of old Jørgen Clevin books. Perfect for Frida Viola right now. She loves the story about the painter Nikolaj that during night time paints flowers all over the ugly factory. I remeber some of the stories from my own childhood, and the illustrations are legendary.

This is pure nostalgia :)

Mini Roadtrip

The last couple of days we have been on a mini vacation visiting A's family. My parents in law live in a beautiful old monastery that has been renovated into apartments. The building and the monastery garden still have so many fantastic details - as the flowers from the garden - and despite a very long car trip and two very tired little girls (and a huge pile of laundry waiting for me!) we really enjoyed being away for a couple of days.

Big Girl

After Molly has been born I really miss my big girl. I miss all the time we spent together just the two of us. I miss being very close to her, and I miss having those little peeks into her universe. I still find it difficult - I guess it's part of being a parent. Today her kindergarten was closed - we had a nice day in the sun.
