What will your tree look like this Christmas?

It should've been me...

I wanted to be the girl who got the sapphire and diamond ring, the Prince and half the Kingdom.

I would have done it so well.

I guess I'll get over it...eventually...

Picture walls

In my next home I'll definitely have a picture wall!

...I just have to figure out in what style.

 Easier said than done after finding all these pictures with inspiration.

Which one is your favorite?

In this very second I think mine is the one up in the left corner.

The first snow

Everything outside my window is covered in white. 

The first snow fall this winter.

I think I'll stay inside today with some candle lights and lots of hot coffee.

"MAD MEN" - yourself!

Hahaha...Perfect!

This is me!

(omkring 1926)

Nu möts de igen.
Nu vilar de alla.

Blott en dag...

Blott en dag, ett ögonblick i sänder,

vilken tröst vad än som kommer på!

Allt ju vilar i min Faders händer,

skulle jag, som barn, väl ängslas då?

Han som bär för mig en Faders hjärta,

giver ju åt varje nyfödd dag

dess beskärda del av fröjd och smärta,

möda, vila och behag.

Själv han är mig alla dagar nära,

för var särskild tid med särskild nåd.

Varje dags bekymmer vill han bära,

han som heter både Kraft och Råd.

Morgondagens omsorg får jag spara,
om än oviss syns min vandrings stig.

“Som din dag, så skall din kraft ock vara,”

detta löfte gav han mig.

Hjälp mig då att vila tryggt och stilla

blott vid dina löften, Herre kär,

ej min tro och ej den tröst förspilla,

som i ordet mig förvarad är.

Hjälp mig, Herre, att vad helst mig händer,

taga ur din trogna fadershand 

blott en dag, ett ögonblick i sänder, 

tills jag nått det goda land.


-Psalm 249-

Something blue

This would look good on me!

Memo of the day

Union Jack

Monday morning in the afternoon

4 pm and I just swallowed the last piece of breakfast. My three working nights are finally over, and I'm back to "normal" working hours for a while. Lovely!

I think the rest of this Monday will be all about me...A shower, a body scrub and some nail polish on the toenails. Anything to make this gray and windy day a bit more colorful. 

...and I almost forgot...

...a renewed membership on the gym will be arranged as well. Yeay...finally!

Sunday fixing

Cake plates

My new cake plate.

3 cake plates is the result of a creative afternoon together with Å. Haven't been very creative lately...but I'm quite pleased with the one I managed to accomplish with some second hand porcelain and glue.

Å's two new pretty cake plates.

To be extraordinary

Good morning Sunday!

Last week...

Only 2 pair. 

And I really "needed" both. At least the pair I bought for work...

Now I can walk really fast in the corridors...super fast to be honest. 

A very good thing!

The other pair was just something I need for this fall, and something I've been looking at for a while.

It's soon too cold to wear sandals and loafers without socks in the mornings...

Buhu, bring be summer back!

Nice huh?!
