GLAD MIDSOMMAR!

Happy Midsummer's Day!
I hope you're out in the sunshine dancing around the maypole
rather than sitting indoors by the compuuter as I do right now
because I'm feeding the little one.
I must say that since I moved to the UK I really miss Swedish
things I didn't really care that much about before, like sweets,
food and drinks and celebrating midsummer, it's unfortunately
not a "thing" around here. :(
I always get terribly homesick during the summer months.

Last night I made this midsummer necklace to cheer myself
up a little.

NEW ITEMS IN MY ETSY SHOP

Hi there!
I'm finally crafting again after a break due to bad swelling in my hands.
I'm fine now tho. :)

Here's some things I've made and listed in my Etsy shop.

I've also been revamping this thing, which I think might have been a
hair clip once. It made a nice exotic brooch and earring set for bright
summer days.

THIS IS WHY I'VE BEEN AWAY

I don't know if anyone noticed I've been away for a while,
this is why.
This is our son, Dixon. He was born April 12 and he's the
love of our lives.

GEEKY SWEATERS

It's our 7 year anniversary next week and we're going
to Prague (again!!!) for a while to relax and celebrate.
I got us a little gift in advance, these sweaters:

THEDAILYBAKE AS THEY CALL IT

I don't have instagram, I have a phone that's 5 years
old and the only one that calls me on it is my man.
I tried getting it on my computer but it only caused a
lot of problems.
I blog instead until someone donates their old iphone.

So here's my #thedailybake

LOW KEY BIRTHDAY

I've had a really good birthday today!
Even tho the plans we made went tits up because my man injured
one of his toes and got gout in the one next to it and he can't walk,
I must say it's been a very pleasant one.
We're going to Prague soon so we'll celebrate properly there.
I woke up early because I was very uncomfortable, went down to
the kitchen and did some housework and prepared some food for
our dinner. My man woke up and we had coffee and he gave me
the sweetest card with the most romantic content ever.
Afterwards I crawled back into bed to check some things on my
computer and in comes my man with a huge package, turns out it
is a case willed with small gifts and if you scroll down you'll see
what I got.

Today's been low key but it was nice to just relax.
I made Swedish style (vegetarian) x-mas food for dinner, tons of
lit candles and Dean Martin playing in the background, I felt like
I just turned 60! LOL!
Skipped the cake today, I made my Caribbean toffee instead.
