Catching up

A lovely petunia to wish you a nice weekend. A bit early perhaps, but tomorrow is a holiday here in Denmark, so we'll be off for a mini break at my favorite hotel in Malmo, Sweden.

Hopefully I'll get the chance to take some nice phtos there. I haven't been out with the camera very much recently, been a bit under the weather and busy trying to sort out our messy appartment. Where does all that stuff come from?! Makes me long for some simple living... Anyway, hope you have a great weekend!

Project update

So... I cut the squares (rather large ones, since it's my first quilt and I'm a bit lazy) and sewed them together. Some of the corners turned out a bit askew, but all in all I'm proud of the result. Now I need to add the back and some padding, and then quilt it together. Unfortunately the woman in the fabric store cut the padding too small, so I have to excange it before I can proceed with the project...

Where I want to be...

I've got a little spring flu and right now this is where I long to be: in my cosy, warm bed.

I'll be back soon...

In bloom

Spring is here!  And I'm in the mood for floral patterns and prints. Whether on wallpaper samples, scarves, stationary, a purse, or my dressing gown, these flowers brighten my day :-)

A small project

This is how my little project started, with a collection of letters cut from wallpaper samples.

And this is the result on our kitchen wall, a phrase from a beautiful song. Difficult to photograph, but I'm sure you get the idea :-) Now I only need to sew some curtains, put up lamps, wallpaper the cabinet doors, paint a china cabinet, rearrange the stuff in the cabinets, and the kitchen will look fabulous... Phew!



Visiting

Some photos from our sunday visit at Jette and Kitty's. We had the most delicious and rich chocolate cake, and watched Despicable me. Now I know why my redecorating of the kitchen is moving so slow. No minions!
