Love Liebe

I really love the beautiful things made by Susanne Liebe. I got one of her sweet little vases for my birthday, and I also got some birthday money from Brians mom, and i kind of knew right away that I was going to spend it on these sweet little birds.

Just look at the pretty packaging

They come in many different color - I love the light blue ones too, maybe I'll also buy them...

I haven't yet hung them un the wall, since our livingroom is basically torn down to the bare brick walls and concrete flor - not a pretty sight, but hopefully it will be soon.

Birthdays, owls and deers

Friday we celebrated both mine and Benjamins birthday (mine for the second time). It was a nice evening, great gifts, happy children, a walk to the playground, good food and cake. One of my best friends made me a pretty scarf, and even gave me a shirt to match. I also got at vase i've been wanting for a long time now. It is made by Susan Liebe, for some reason i did'nt take a picture of it, I will soon.

The scarf

Benjamin got a golf set and Lego

and maybe a girlfriend...

Last week i bought these pretty birds, they are from House Doctor. The are made to hold a candle on the top of there heads, but I'm not sure about that.

I also got these from a fleamarket, they were only 50kr (about 9$). The man asked if my husband is a hunter...

Can't wait for these to turn red and sweet.

Saturday is Benjamins actual birthday, and that is going to be the last party at our house this month. I'm not sure when I'm going to find the time to prepare for it. Thing are pretty hectic at work this last week before the school is out.

What have I been up to?

On the 20th Nick and Maria got married - and I shot their wedding photos. You can't tell by looking at the picture but she is 8 months pregnant.

The 21st was Benjamins last day at gymnastics - and all the parents was invited to come and watch all the different teams. Before we went, Benjamin asked me in relief, if doing this final show meant that he never had to go back...two days later he told us that when he grows up he wants to live in a cabin in the woods..all alone. I wish i knew how to get him to be more social...

On the 23rd this little girl turned 14 (picture is from 2004)

She is my god daughter  - and is all ready turning into a little woman.

We painted eggs a couple of days ago. I ended up sitting on the kitchen flor alone, since Benjamins interest quickly went away. The funny looking poodle is actually a lamb. (if you were wondering about the clothes he is wearing, which he has obviously out grown - it is just for painting in!)

...Benjamin rather wanted to play in his room, which his father and I had spent several hours tidying.

Seven years ago we spent about a year doing this

And know we are actually dreaming about buying this house, which means doing it again in two and a half the amount of space

Today Benjamin got his Easter egg, the chocolate hare is from his grandmother.

Last but not least - take a look at this great giveaway over at sunshine and carousels

Hope you have a happy Easter

New additions to my forrest family

Yesterday I went to a fleemarket with my mother and found a lot of sweet little animals, afterwards I made a cake called hindbærsnitte, for the first time, I baked them a little too long but the tasted ok anyway.

My favorite

This one I think I'll spraypaint, don't know what color

another favorite

there is a little gold left on this one

I'm trying to ignore the fact that this is actually an ashtray 

and finally a group photo

My first hindbærsnitte

In the evening I had the biggest fight with my sister ever, over a really, really stupid thing. She started it offcourse, and I still don't think that I'm to blame in any way. We were all invited to eat at my mothers, and my sister made it clear that her and her family (her youngest daughter anyway, because I think her husband really didn't care) wanted to watch a bingoshow on tv (and play along), my boyfriend and I made a little fun about it a couple of times, and suddenly she just blew up, and yelled at us about it, even my mother said some stupid things, about how we (my boyfriend and I) always have the tv on at home, I was surprised angry and yelled back at my sister, but she just kept on going. As allways my father did not say one word. We stayed for an hour more, and after i got home i realized that the saddest thing is that i actually don't care, I'm not angry, I'm not sad, I just couldn't care less about her right now...

Christmas time is here

December mornings spend playing with the gifts from the advent calender

Dreaming of a white Christmas...

The adventskrans- for lighting a candel the 4 last sundays before Chrsitmas.

I think a was a little inspired from the work and art of Shane Brox

My three first advent calender gifts, from my "advent-calender-group" over at Scrapsisters.

...and even with all that going on, I can't seem to find my Chrsitmas spirit.

Pretty pots

Look what i bought, aren't they pretty? I think it is the beginning of a collection...

...also found a cute cowboy for Benjamin

Here is the new wallpaper

I really love it, i would just wish that his room was twice as big.
