To many projects!

I bought a quilt tutorial from Rachel, and i started last night, cutting all the little squares. Allready I'm straying....hers is 6x6 squares, mine is 8x8...
I'm still not sure this is how I want the pattern...what do you think?
I do love all the vintage fabric, and it has been hidden away in a box for too long.
Brian made dinner (again), and it was just yummy, even thoug I'm not a real cheese-lover. He even baked the bread. The dark one has sun-dried tomatoes in it. Yum again.This fantastic machine came in the mail today, my very own Gocco printer. Really can't wait to get started. But i feel like i have to have just the RIGHT piece to print, so i won't waste any supplies. It's going to be so much fun.
Tomorrow my big sister is turning 40, and we are going to surprice her with not one, but two little surprice parties. We are coming for breakfast, which she doesn't know, of course. Then when she thinks it's all over, we are all coming again for dinner. All credit must be given to her husband, he is the mastermind behind all this. He even bought the present from all of us, a new bike.

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...)

It's been way to long...

OMG, it feels like months since i last posted something. My picture of the day project...what can i say, for the last month or so, i haven't really felt that inspired. So there will be a lot of blank post if I am going to follow through with it. I actually think that it will be as much of a challenge for me not to. I am the kind of person who hate blank spaces in a collection, I have to have it all... 
Right now I dont know, what i want to do, I am not going to force my self to post bad pictures (which has happened), just so i can post something. I must be better with just one great photo than five bad ones. 

What have i been up to:

I have started school again.
I been on a day-long wedding photoshoot ( A nice couple - Ulrikke and Søren)

Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner 
And today i am going to Scrap-a-mania right here in my home town. Its a big gathering of scrappers and scrapbooking supplies sellers. I haven't been to Scrap-a-mania before, but i hope to get som great inspiration and to meet my E-mail friend Annika!
Tonight we are going to dinner at some friends house.


I allmost forgot to to tell you about the greatest thing, i finally got a desk in the living room and my sweet boyfriend made it for me out of an old dinner table, it looks beautiful and perfect for our living room. Going to take som pictures soon for you to see.
A new pic of Benjamin

That must be it for now. Will be back soon with some new pix and maybe more from Egypt!

Home sweet home

We returned to Denmark thursday evening. Tired, but happy to be home. My sweet mother had filled the fridge with all sort of great stuff: milk, butter, jam, rugbrød (very dark bread- which i think is only eaten in Denmark and Germany - not even our swedish friend Anna likes it, but my oh my, we love it, especially after a vacation abroad), leverpostej(another danish food - it is made from - hold on- the liver from a pic, sardins, different herbs, onions, flour and more which i can't remember. It sounds disgusting, and i think if children actually new what was in it they would not eat it, but we all just love it (allmost all of us) - i guess that "liverpaté" is to be found in other countrys as well, but i don't think that anybody in the world eat the amount of the stuff that we, the danes, do.) Oh well, i will stop the food talk now, though it was nice to sit in our own sofa eating rugbrød with leverpostej.

We had a great trip, though i am not sure i will ever return to Egypt. I would love to see more of their ancient relics, but i kind of got enough of the egyptians. More about that later.

Soon i will post som photos from our vacation.

Just happy to be back online...
