The End
It’s not just the end of the year, I’m afraid it’s also the end of this blog. I feel bad for just blurting it out like this on New Year’s Eve but the end of the year feels like a good time for me to wrap things up. I’ve been blogging for five and a half years and have LOVED it but all things...
Awww, I've said it before and I'll say it once more, I've had the best readers! You guys are so sweet :).
Don't worry, I won't be deleting the blog so you can still check in and read the archives if you wish!

Peggy - Yes. Weird huh?!:)
Márcia - Must check that out, thank you!
Project 52: Week 52
A few days down south at my mom’s after Christmas. Beautiful quiet little seaside village with some pretty amazing old and modern houses. And these crappy iPhone photos conclude Project 52!
Thank you all so much for understanding and for the well wishes!
The blog will stay up so you will be able to browse the archive whenever you want. I just won't be updating anymore.

Arzu - Amazing, right?! So funny to see them go nuts like that :). Yay!
Christmas Eve Recap
Later today I’m off to spend a couple of days with my mom down south but before I leave I thought I’d share a few photos from last night. Martin came over for lunch and we exchanged gifts. This year was tricky in terms of gift giving for Wille because the only thing he could think of that he ...
Erika - Thanks! Good to know!

Nan - I won't be repeating the project next year.

Christiine - From Wille I got some books and from my mom I got cash :).

Abc - De är från lite olika ställen, de minsta är vintage Arabia, de större kvadratiska loppisfynd och de rektangulära är från Granit.

Jja - I bought it a few years ago at Åhléns. Didn't see it this year though so I think they might have discontinued it,
Project 52: Week 51
A single week to go and my project is completed. It’s actually really hard to believe that it’s Christmas tomorrow (we celebrate on the 24th over here). The temperatures are almost spring like. The lawn’s never looked better and the spikes I got for my walking shoes have only been used once ...
Jessice - I got them a few years ago so I doubt they're available. I love them too :)

Sandy - Ah, the tree... for some reason it's impossible for me to get good photos of it. I've tried daytime - not magical enough, evening - too dark and so on.

Frances - I just read that on their blog and I also haven't authorized that so I'll look into blocking it! Thanks for letting me know! You can probably only see it in the States which is why I haven't noticed myself.
First Macaron Attempt
As you know I’m in bake mode and I’ve been wanting to try making macarons. I used a coin as a template to draw the round shapes on my baking paper which I then turned over so I wouldn’t get pencil on my macarons. I mixed the ingredients of a basic macaron with a bit of lemon added t...
Lizzie - Mini and Bonus tend not to want to model so it depends if I manage to get a shot of them in a Christmassy context :).
Magazine Holder DIY
Here’s a little fun project I did a while ago using breakfast cereal boxes. DIY magazine/paper holders! Snip the top and corners off any old cereal box and you have yourself the base. Then cover with a wallpaper scrap by simply brushing on wallpaper paste and folding in the edges al...
Peggy - We use a lot of English in our daily lives over here.

Susan - I've had problems with wrapping paper creasing when trying to cover other stuff but if it's not the thinnest kind it's worth a try!

Anette - Inför 2014 har jag skippat papperskalender, hör och häpna! Tänker använda Google kalendern helt enkelt, får se hur det blir :). Den kalendern jag hackade för ett par år sen var Stora Väggkalendern från Almanacksförlaget. Förra året hade jag en familjekalender från Ordning o reda med tre kolumner som var bra, en kolumn vardera till Wille och mig och så en till blogginläggen.
MareePSasja - There was no banging in my recipe so I'll try that next time :).

Márcia - OMG, I have to try making those!
MedL - Not always as efficiently as we would hope. You'd think public transport would know that we get rough winters here in Sweden but every year it's the same old story with delays, cancellations, slippery tracks etc etc. Also riding my bike through the snow at 6 am before the overnight snow's been cleared is no fun at all.
Project 52: Week 50
Last week was busy at work and when the weekend came I was SO happy. On Saturday Anne came over for dinner and it felt really quite Christmassy. As I’m writing this it’s raining but I don’t really mind, I’d actually prefer if we didn’t get any snow this year, everything’s so much easier witho...
Katie - I haven't read that one but I'll be sure to check it out!
One in One Out
I have this thing about not wanting to accumulate more stuff. I’m constantly looking through my belongings to see if there’s something I can get rid of and donate. To me paring down is therapy. It’s the best feeling ever, letting stuff go. I have a system going that really works for me a...
Eva - Tack :). Jag testade att söka på ordet "christmas" och då kommer alla inlägg upp på rad nedanför så för mig funkar det. Kanske ett tillfälligt fel?
Skansen Part II
Going to Skansen on Saturday was to get Sanna and I into Christmas mode. It’s hard be belive it’s Christmas in less than two weeks. We do have snow now and it’s been freezing but I for one hadn’t really gotten into Christmas mode until the Christmas market. It’s so pretty at Skansen....
Leena - I do drink a bit of julmust around the holidays :).

Skansen Part I
If you ever visit Stockholm on one of the weekends in December I would totally recommend that you visit Skansen for the Christmas market. I’ve been wanting to go there again for ages but haven’t gotten around to it until this past weekend. Skansen is our open air museum and zoo and...
