autumn

a few autumnal images. Alvar in his Swedish outdoor gear (the picture is a bit fuzzy but its impossible to catch him standing still at the moment and also i love his expression in this photo),

a fat pumpkin from the alottment, a plump little mushroom in wet moss, and early morning mists in Sweden. And the last image is from my parents garden, which was overflowing with apples. The biggest harvest for a long time. I havent worked out how to turn the picture once they are uploaded. I will get there eventually...

bookshelves

The boys in action. Alvar is making sure that the ladder is holding up.

They making bookshelves in our living room. Floating bookshelves. At the same time we are trying to decide about wallpaper and colour on the wall. We want something colourful on the chimneybreast and I am thinking something from the grey colour spectrum. This might take a while.

Lotta in Swedish

Saw in my new issue of Lantliv that Lotta's fantastic book Simple Sewing is out in Swedish. I think I prefer the Swedish cover. (of course) The projects in the book are so beautiful and inspiring and actually look like they are easy to make. I am half way through the door stop.
