Day of clay / Mera lera

It has been some time since I updated this website and we are now facing a time where people are at home a lot  and finding ways to be creative. Some time ago I bought an air-drying clay at a local store. I don't really remember having used clay since my junior years in school. This is a soft clay and easy to mold something with your hands. Just be creative and try to form something that comes to mind. I myself got some inspiration from our cheese plant at home. I really love its leaves, so that is what my aim was, to make a leaf or a form of candlelight holder. The air-drying clay dries after a day or two and you can then paint it with some acrylic paint if you like. Mine is painted with white acrylic paint. Maybe it ends up on your shelf or  why not a little homemade present for someone, a one of a kind present. 🙏

Det har gĂ„tt ett tag sedan jag uppdaterade denna websida och vi befinner oss nu i en tid dĂ€r mĂ€nniskor Ă€r hemma mycket och hittar sĂ€tt att vara kreativa pĂ„. För en tid sedan köpte jag en lufttorkande lera i en nĂ€rliggande butik. Jag minns inte att jag anvĂ€nt lera sedan jag gick i tidig grundskola. Denna lera Ă€r mjuk och det Ă€r lĂ€tt att forma nĂ„got med hĂ€nderna. Bara att vara kreativ och prova att forma nĂ„got som du kommer pĂ„. Jag sjĂ€lv fick lite inspiration frĂ„n vĂ„r monsteravĂ€xt hĂ€r hemma. Jag Ă€lskar verkligen dess blad, sĂ„ det fick bli mitt mĂ„l, att göra ett blad eller en ljushĂ„llare. Den lufttorkande leran torkar efter en dag eller tvĂ„ och du kan sedan mĂ„la den med akrylfĂ€rg om du vill. Min Ă€r mĂ„lad med vit akrylfĂ€rg. Kanske hamnar den pĂ„ din hylla eller varför inte en liten hemmagjord present till nĂ„gon, en unik present. 🙏

The joy of crochet / VirkglÀdje

Image
If someone would have told me a few years ago that someday I would start to crochet, I would never have believed them. I never really understood how people could find book reading or handcraft so relaxing, but I did envy them for it. I was more of the training type of person. But, you should never say never and not stop learning more about yourself. You can have more aptitudes then you realise. They can be well hidden and never tried. So this Christmas, after becoming interested, I was taught to crochet and I have been hooked 😊 ever since. I continued on my own with help from Youtube clips. They make it easy to just stop and try yourself at your own speed. I have since then crocheted granny squares and flowers and other techniques and I'm still appreciating the fun of being more creative. Crochet is so much more than a hobby. It is pure mindfulness. It has something to do with using your hands, just like cooking and gardening. You become calm and focused. I even heard that crochet

Enjoy the little things / Njut av de smÄ sakerna

Just think that it is so easy to long to be far away, even though you have so much beauty to explore nearby. I have lately discovered the islands around Gothenburg. Recently we went to Asperö where I have never been before. Asperö is an island in Gothenburg's southern archipelago where about 400 inhabitants live. A smaller island that I think is sometimes passed by as many instead travel to the larger islands of the archipelago. We traveled from Saltholmen boat terminal to Asperö Östra (Eastern Asperö) which is the first stop with the ferry. It only takes about 10 minutes. You can now also take ferries to the southern archipelago from Stenpiren Travel Centre. Once on the island it is quiet, there are not a lot of people and everything is very close so you do not have to walk very far. We took with us salads from the mainland and we ate these for lunch by the boat harbour. After this we walked to the small shop to buy ice cream and drinks. We decided to walk up to the top of the vie

Beautiful in every way / Vackert pÄ alla sÀtt

Sometimes you get days that are beautiful in every way. Such happiness it is to experience a Sunday in September while the summer is still around. A perfect day for a small trip. We have decided to visit Gunnebo House and Gardens that with bus from Gothenburg takes about 15 minutes to reach. As I enter the Gunnebo House environment, I immediately get a wow-feeling. Here it is beautiful like a dream and there is so much to look at of this 17th century property, which is well preserved and well maintained. I smell the lavender on our way up to the House, the lovely smell of lavender is hard to beat. In the southern garden we sit down and enjoy the sun, the surroundings and our bag of tea and fruit. After that we take a walk around Gunnebo cultural reserve and watch the cows as they rest in the shade. On our way back we walk around the kitchen garden next to Gunnebo Coffee House and Restaurant, here grows vegetables, herbs and flowers among other things. The tomatoes smell just as good
