This and that on a tuesday

Red Dollhouse furniture.

Originally for Pippi Longstockings house.

I think it looks a treat in my little farmhouse though.

My candleford shawl is almost done, just a few loose ends

And perhaps a crochet edging.

Hubby has removed the entire terrace.

A new, almost cost free and low upkeep area is under planning.

More on that later.

A pressie :-)

Ikea dollhouse furniture.

Not sure of the scale, or where it is going, but isn't it qute :-).

In my car outside a local shop on my smartphone. Finally an internet that works!

I have given up the internet at home for time being.

Dolly Pram!

A treasure from the seventies.

This little Simo dolls pram is a lot like the one l had as a child.

Mine "vanished" over the years, so l was thrilled to find this one close by and for a good price.

Although without bedlinen it is in very good condition.

I have several of my old dolls still and they can all sit in this until a little girl comes along one day. 

Right now l am having fun planning the new bed clothes ;-)

My internet is crazy slow and we cannot find out why, this is the reason for rather short posts. This post has taken me an hour to do!!

Wood Anemones

Spring is well and truly here after a long dark winter.

Wood Anemones are some of my favourite flowers, particularly the blue ones which are quite scarce.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Blessed Easter Sunday

Snowy slopes and warming fires. Thankfulness.

For us

Easter is all about gratitude

For HIS ultimate sacrifice

For countless blessings

Big and small

Easter is a time spent with the nearest and dearest

My V.I.P's

Simple pleasures

Mostly for free

My battered body managed to hit the slopes up in the mountains one last time this year.

My balance has worsened considerably.

Did manage to knock my husband over and bend his ski pole quite badly.

Rather funny if you have the right perspective ;-)

Evenings bring candle light, knitting, tea and the ever delightful mysteries of Agatha Christie.

Blessed Good Friday

Thoughts on holidays

A VERY HAPPY EASTER!

My sincere wish for everyone who might pop in.

Holidays, be it Christmas, Easter or Summer, can be somewhat of a challenge if life has reached a "bump" and everyone elses happiness reinforces ones own saddness.

However, it helps to make ones pleasures small.

GLUTEN FREE

Some of my little pleasures are:

Crosswords

Midsomer Murders

Hercule Poirot

Miss Marple

A new knitting project in pure Alpaca

The smell of freshly baked Hot Cross buns

My favoutite pukka tea

and the list goes on.

Warm Easter greetings,

Christ is truly risen!

Thoughts on wood

Good morning!

A good clear out of  an area of boggy forest is providing us with next winter's wood. Fresh air, manual labour at a chosen pace and ample oppotunities to teach the children about the nature we are all a part of. Life at its best in my opinion.

I just love the smell of fresh saw dust mixed with coffee brewing and lunch cooking over an open fire.

Have a good day everyone, make the most out of small things. Laugh a lot, love a lot, worry less.

I am back

Springtime

Christmas has passed, Winter too. April begun with sleet but also with snowdrops and sunny days. Winter proved to be a very long and very dark one this year, in more ways than one.

The dark months have reinforced and renewed our longing for a simpler life and a more intentional life. We are getting there one step at a time. I hope you would like to join us on our quest to leave materialism behind.
