Happy birthday sis (2 days ago)

My sister turned 41, saturday. 

I made her this scarf, it is not perfect, but she loved it, so who cares?

Hello big boy

B day

age 2

Today is my birthday. I'm 32. We celebrated last saturday, and i can't even show you any pictures, they were all shot whit my new Diana mini, and the roll of film i loaded it with seems to go on forever, but i guess that's the point of the mini format. The weather was great, and we had a very small garden party, with just my parents, my sister + her family, and my mother-in-law. We made the best pizza on the grill and i made a great bithday cake. Hope to have pictures soon.

bad blogger, i know...

It is not that nothing is going on in my life, for some reason im' just not blogging about it, I'll try to make amends.

• My pretty niece got confirmed (is it really called that in english?). She was really beautifull and didn't look like a little bride, like some of the girls tend to do. 

Vi gave her this Margurit (daisy) necklace by George Jensen, and she loved it.

• We began to get our house ready for sale, even put up this wallpaper on one of the walls in our livingroom.

This is not our livingroom, though. The weather is so bad, that it is really to dark to take picures in right now. But the wallpaper looks great in our house too. I just love ferm livings products.

But in the process of makeing it all look pretty, we decide (again) not to sell and went back to the plan of making our house bigger and renovating it...

• Together with a friend, i bought an I-top-tool, it is fun to use, and truely does make pretty little brads. But the video is just hilarious

• Took a suprice mothers-day portrait of that same friends daughters

• This is what i got for my mothers-day present (or at least it should arive in the mail on friday...can't wait). Isn't it cute?

• And last but not least we are making a dream come true for our son on saturday, by finally taking him to LEGO-land. He letteraly stod on his head in the sofa when we told him. 

This photo is four years old - Lego has always been a favorite. (please don't notice the messy bed in the background).

That is it for now  - plan to enjoy a long weekend.

busy days

We met this jolly guy at the kindergarten christmasparty...

...we open several of these every morning...

...and some of these...

...we visited Tivoli...

...had fun...

...and we had to buy Brian a new wintercoat, because he forgot his at home, an hours drive away...!!!...

...we have made a lot of these (mazipan balls covered with dark rich chocolate)...

...the very first snow of the season, had to be tested...

...lucky for me my Christmas holiday begins tomorrow after work...

B is for Benjamin

Can't belive that this handsome little guy, is the same as the cute baby i held in my arms almost 4 1/2 years ago. Times goes by so fast.

We shot these pics last weekend, the one below with the timer on. I'm looking a bit odd, but it is so rarely that have my picture taken together with Benjamin, so i have to do it myself, and this is actually one of the better ones.

Here Benjamin is trying to show Anton( my godson) how to look/smile/pose while getting your picture taken. He is not quite believing him, i think...

Just a little scrap

Some new LO. No doubt about it, Cosmo Cricket and Sassafras Lass is my favorites. See more of my LO here.

The baby is me!

Benjamin is playing "camp".

That's me again.

Me once again - turning 31 this summer

My "baby" is four

Benjamin turned 4, at the end of last month, we had a great day in the garden with a lot of great food and a lot of chocolate(-pirate-)cake.

"maybe it is a little bit dangerous?"

The closest thing to a smile

The cake - Ahoy Matey

A post from the birthday boy (if he could write):

Turning four changes a lot, it definitely makes you feel a lot bigger. You only wants to take showers, sitting down in the tub is for babys. You will no longer have the use for a smaller fork og spoon, the grown up kind is much better, even if you spill a little. If you feet is in the way, it is because the have grown over night. You will say, to you grandmother, something (that will probably come back and bite you later on) like that you will never misbehave again, because big boys don't do that.

You WILL remember that your mother told you 6 month ago that you had to be four to play at IKEAs "Småland" (supervised playground - while parents are shopping) and you WILL know that she is lying when she now tells you that you have to be five, and therefor you WILL make the rest of the trip through IKEA a living hell for your parents.

But you won't be to big a boy to tell your mommy that you love her almost everyday and you will always know that she loves you too!

We put up wallpaper on one of Benjamins walls today, it looks really cute, no photos yet, coming soon.

This picture (from his birthday) is a good before-shot, please don't notice all the mess, the room is actually not much bigger than what you see, the picture is shot from the door, so a little toys look like a lot. I have been trying to convince him to put away the big Pooh and Tigger, but he is not liking the idea.

This is the wallpaper we put up.

...now we just have to get rid of the Mickey lamp... (I think he is ok with that...)

My birthday came and went...

I'm 31! My birthday was yesterday. Saturday we had some family over for coffee and cupcakes (and appelpie and rhubarbpie also) - It was my first try decorating cupcakes like this, I think they turned out really sweet (tasted sweet too). I bought the roses here. 

Home again and a new job

We are home again, after a really nice week on Rhodes in Greece, though we had a couple of days with at bit of wind and rain. The water was very cold but we went in anyway...

I absolutely love the old town in Rhodes-city, i have been there once before and was really looking forward to show Benjamin the castle, he loved it...

...and came to love knights even more

The view from our room

...and the cutest ice-cream ever!

I went to my very first jobinterview yesterday...and i got the job. I'm going to be a teacher on a small school (120 students from grade 0 til 7th.) and the best part is that i'm also going to be the school-librarian. I don't know many details yet, waiting for them to call me. I start the first of august.

Today i'm working on one of the last project for my artclass, it has to be something which is made on the computer. A couple of weeks ago i stumbled upon  scannography which is basically making pictures/collage directly on your scanner. It can produce som really beautiful images (i haven't made these) 

I will show you mine when I'm done with them.
