Boom

Det är en baby-boom i vår vänskapskrets. Tre små underbara 

nykomlingar inom loppet av en månad. Jag och F blir aningens bebissjuka 

nu när A börjar bli så... stor(?). Men lika fantastisk för det så klart! 

Den bästa lilla tösabit vi kunnat önska oss till och med. 

Tänk att man kan få en så snäll och glad liten mystjej. Nästan aldrig
något gnäll och nu sover hon faktiskt på nätterna också. Men å, visst vore
det mysigt med ett litet syskon ändå, om en inte allt för lång tid.

Familjelivet är bra härligt!

Natti natt.

Runaway train

Hej alla mina bloggläsare, nu slopar jag engelskan och skriver 

på modersmålet istället. Har haft så mycket på schemat i slutet att 

bloggandet känts som ett jobbigt skavsår. Det brukar egentligen vara 

mitt bästa sätt att rensa tankarna, så nu vill jag verkligen 

komma på banan igen.

I dag har jag varit på en föreläsning. Första dagen i 

skolbänken för i år, ny klass och lite nervöst. Ni vet, man vill 

känna sig fräsch (i alla fall så gott det går efter ett sömnlöst år) 

och se så där lagom avslappnad och trygg ut. 

Men jag råkade så klart slå (typ sönder) svanskotan för någon 

dag sedan. Så mest troligt tänkte min nya klass att jag eventuellt 

var sjukt kissnödig eller möjligtvis hade koncentrations-

svårigheter, så som jag skruvade på mig i princip 

hela föreläsningen. Bra jobbat!

Jag har träffat Evin i dag också, vi gick igenom den grafiska 

profilen för klädmärket. På torsdag ska jag och Nancy åka till Borås 

över dagen för att hänga på Nordic Fabric Fair. Det kommer bli apbra! 

Dessutom har vi åtta timmars effektiv arbetstid eftersom vi ska 

sitta på tåget, tur-och-retur. Heja!

For the summer

Last summer

I've had a really busy week. We've registrated our company 

and baught the domain for our website now. Feels huge! 

I'm meeting Evin at tuesday who'll help us make the 

logotype. Afterwords at 7 pm, there's an event with a kids

fashion show by Nova Star, Rockefella, Blingo, Me&I and 

Vossatassar. There will also be bubbles in the glass 

and of course a goodie bag.

I have two tickets so if someone (who also has a blog 

and a kid/kids/one on the way) would like to join, let me 

know!

It feels like spring today and I'm soo longing for summer, 

green grass and barefoot little feet running around.

The times they are a-changin'

We had a lovely day in Uppsala. Oh I wish that my sister lived
closer, like next door or so. Even if we see eachother a lot she's just one of 

those who I'd like to have near every day. She brings out the happier 

version of me.

Today I'm working. A and F are out for a walk with the trolley and 

then they'll meet up some friends for a fika. I'll see if I can find some 

time to join them later.

A fun day to you!

COS has so cute kids wear, A would really look like such 

mothers daughter in these clothes.

I've been working today and I think we've nailed the

business idéa. Feels awsome!

We're off to Uppsala tomorrow, visiting my sweet sister.

Have a good one! 

Hungry heart

Pics' Lite Kalabalik.

This is the gift I got yesterday. A necklace called "Lite Kärlek"
which means like "Some Love".

Here's this weeks playlist, better late than never, right?

I'm working late tonight, we've had F's brothers and cousin
over for dinner, so fun to see them. But now it's time to cross
some things off my to-do-list. I'll have a nice cup of tea and
listen to the new playlist. Music is such a bless.

Nightie night

Family values

Happy Valenines to you, I hope you've had a lovely day. Mine
was just perfect. Not to much just really cosy. F gave me a beautiful
necklace from Lite Kalabalik, I'll show you tomorrow. Now it's
time for a movie and lots of hugs and kisses.

Bye bye birdie

Daughter

Jumpsuit Kaxs from Kappahl, 199 SEK.

I had the cosiest morning ever, just playing, reading books

and crawling around on the floor with A. She had a big smile on

her face the whole time. Then we went out for a long trolley walk

and she slept for an hour and a half. Meanwhile I enjoyed the
sunny weather and listened to some music. 

I also baught this sweet jumpsuit from Kappahl, it has felt 

lika a missing piece for quite some time now. It's both comfy, 

cute and practical. She'll never be without a playsuit again.

The meeting today went well as usual, we're really progressing. 

Next up is to spread the market research to assembling the Business 

plan. We're also looking for investors and someone that we want to 

make our logotype. It really feels like we have to find the right
person. Someone who's both skilled and truly understands our
target group.

We've had a packed day and this evening we had
some friends over for dinner. It's so much fun to meet up in
the middle of the week and it feels like there's less prestige
involved as well.

(You'll get the playlist tomorrow when we've installed
Spotify on our computer again.)

Who dares wins

Pics' from ASOS.com, Whowhatwear and by me.

My three key items this spring are: A long trench, that I 

haven't found yet, these black shoes (which are on their 

way home to me right now) and lots of printed tops.

I'd love to make some batik tees for the whole family. 

How nice! Anyone who cares to join?

Tomorrow it's time for a new meeting with Nancy. 

Tell you more afterwards. 

Sleep tight!  

P.S. I'd be so happy if you'd comment on what you want 

to read more about. D.S.

Back in the game

A summery of yesterdays activities:
Went out for some second hand shopping, 220 SEK for
all the things up to the right including the neck lace to
the left. Pic from the apartment with two dancing queens.

I had an awsome night yesterday, my sister is just the

best and we have so much fun together, probably because 

we have such similar minds. Perhaps not that strange 

being raised by the same parents and all.

My friend Sofia invited us to a lovely dinner,

she's one of those friends who always teach me something

new about cooking. Yesterday she served a sauce to the food 

which was SO good, with lots of ginger in it. Yum! I just 

have to steel that recepy next time we meet.

We left the dinner early because we were going out 

to see the band Little Dragon, who I really like. But when

we sat on the subway we felt like we'd made a bit of a mistake 

because we've had such a fun time with Sofia and Linn. 

Anyways, when we got to the gig it was a line with people
for about 100 metres and really freezing outside so we just
left and went back to the apartment, where we had lots of fun,
sipping on cinnamon whiskey surrounded by great people.

Thanks' mum and dad for giving us such free wills,

and to be able to follow our guts intsead of what's planned.

Hugs!

My my hey hey

Hey you!

We've been updating our computer so that's why I've not 

posted as usual. Now it's time for dinner at a dear friends' house 

and afterwards, Göta källare it is!

I'll be back in business by tomorrow, so don't give up on me.

A fun night to you too.

Dreaming of you

Clothes rack Tati from Asplund. Swan Chair by Arne Jacobsen.
Inspiration via Lotta Agaton.

Dreaming of better storage and nice furnitures where we can 

put our clothes. I'd love to have these two beauties in our future,
hopefully, bigger bedroom. Right now our bedroom is devided in two
and A has her own corner with all of her toys, books and
clothes gathered.

We live in an apartment on 54 square meters, which is
starting to feel a bit small. All our storage spaces are stuffed
with things. So we've started thinking about moving. But where to?
We are torn between three quite different alternatives. Perhaps we'll
move up north, buy and restaure a big old house in Västerbotten with
original wooden floors and fireplace. It's some how my
dream image. F's too.

An other option is to live poor for a few years and save 

lots of money to build our own dream house. F is soon graduating at 

Royal Institution of Technology and gets his degree in Master of Sience, 

 alignment Housing Structures. We'd love to make our own floor plans 

that'd fit our needs perfectly. Really close to our dream
image too.

Our third option, which feels more like the next step,
is to buy a bigger apartment here in Stockholm or perhaps Umeå
until we've figured out where we really want to settle down.

ASOS sale, 20% off on all dresses. Hurry, it's only on until midnight.

Stormy weather

Here's my four winter necessaries. Such skinsavers, 

especially now when there's so cold outside. Water is just the 

best treatment for chapped skin, therefore my first cure is 

to drink. A lot.

I have quite dry skin, and even more during winter so I use 

Almond oil to rub into my scalp before taking a shower, and on arms 

and legs afterwards. I even use it while shaving my legs. Good bye 

red spots. My skin feels just as smooth as ever.

The best boost for my face is definitely the skin hydrating

booster from Dermalogica. It's a quite expensive alternative but

long lasting and the best friend to my face. Hello lustre and 

bye bye gloomy and grey. 

Elisabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream is quite well-known 

but no less important to bring up. It's perfect for dry lips and 

spots who needs instant healing. Thanks' Elisabeth.

I'm working working working today and tomorrow 

but at Saturday me and sis are going out to shake our legs at 

a great gig! I'm soo looking forward to it.

Bye bye birdie

Reaching forward

Book binders sell such cute little rolls of paper, 

perfect for all kinds of crafts. We bought paper rolls and some 

photo stickers to put in a photo album when we had the name 

ceremony for A and they came well to hand now.

I cut some stripes of the rolls with a serrated scissor, 

glued the stripes on to the tags I'd written and attached them 

with photo stickers inside the closet.

The way that I do

 

Yesterdays'. Dress - Samsoe & Samsoe, blouse - H&M trend, necklace - Kappahl.
The ring with hearts on it is a symbol for the "landscape" Västerbotten in the
north of Sweden. Where I have my roots.

Today I've written some chores on a bunch of home made post-it's.
I'll put them on the inside of my closet door and take down one by one
as I've finished a task. Feels like it could be healty to apply some
self-fulfilling considering my many to-do's right now. I'll show you
some pic's of my post-it-plan later.

Now it's time for coffee, some urgent phonecalls and to compile our 

market research. It's on!

Have a nice one!

One

Another fab day with Nancy, at first we had lunch at 

PUB and she show me some of the swatches, then we wandered 

off to Rookies Showroom. It would just be awsome to be one of 

them next year. Such a pep-image!

We met some wonderful people and it really felt fruitful. 

Take a peek at MASKA, they gave us lots of tips to have in mind 

during our journey. Their clothes were very well made and I'm 

thinking about buying one of their knitted tops.

I'll tell you about some other plans soon but now it's time 

for a glass of red and some lounging on the couch.

Birthday

Christmas gift from my (to be) mother in law.

Pics'. Kastehelmi by Ittala, via It's a house.

We're making some plans for A's upcoming birthday, which is in 

about a month now. I think that I'll make these lovely crackers from 

the book by Mia Öhrn who makes the sweetest sweets. There will also

be cacepops and a birtday cake of course. But I haven't decided what

cake to do yet. Any one with creative suggestions?

We are going to make a video for A with clips from her first year, 

I'm a lousy film maker so I've managed to cover the microfon several 

times during the film clips but we'll just have to fix that somehow,
perhaps some background music will do the trick. I think she'll love
to look at a video of her self as a baby. I can barley wait.

I'd also like to have a new plate for the birthday cake and
what'd fit better than this one from Kastehelmi above? We'll
see about that though.

Sleep tight. 

Sunny afternoon

Here's the new playlist. Enjoy!

Fool

We've had a warm and comfy weekend in Linköping in all 

aspects. I really enjoy their company. We were only outside once, 

when we went down town, as I've told you, for some shopping and a 

fika but otherwise we stayed in, eating lots of goodies, talking 

about life and playing with A.

When we got home yesterday we had a welcome visit

by Arvid and Louise and they had bought a pretty body for A. 

She seemed thankful but I believe she loved the giftwrap even more. 

After they had gone I left home as well, for a lovely Vietnamese dinner 

at Söder with my friend Sofia. SO lovely to meet her, as always!

This week is jam packed with all kinds of activities which 

feels like a perfect distraction (my life is just a bit upside down 

right now and I'm in a situation I've a hard time imagine myself being in) 

we'll have some friends over for dinner, I'll finish the business plan 

tomorrow (instead) and we'll hang around Fashion Week as 

I've told you. It will be great. 

You can download the Stockholm Fashion Week app at 

App Store and I'll post this weeks playlist later today.

 Just so you know!

Have a nice afternoon

Cooler couleur

Blouse from H&M

I love to have a mixture of labels in my own wardrobe as well 

as in A's. Second hand and more expensive clothes together with
cheaper ones from stores like H&M, Kappahl and Lindex.

We've had a fun day down Linköping town. I'll tell you more

about the weekend when we get back tomorrow.

A fun night to you all!

Ode to my family

We'll take the car over to my parents again. They're just the best.

I wish we lived closer to each other.

Today I'll keep working on the business plan and continue to 

discuss the project that me and, mostly, mum has started up.

Have a nice beginning of your weekend!

Billy Boy

Billy, IKEA

The new Billy bookcase from IKEA. It would be nice to have the yellow one,
like right now.

See the sun

Yesterdays'. Knitted sweater - H&M, scarf - Kappahl, jeans - Cheap Monday.
The blouse and coat are second hand.

I've been quite busy for the last couple of days. Todays meeting 

with Nancy was awesome! I love hanging with her and our meetings are 

more like pep-talks which gives me lots of energy to put into the work.
We've made a plan for the first months now so I'm excited about getting
to it again.

The dream is really starting to progress and next week we'll 

try to finish the business plan. Another thing going on next week is 

Stockholm Fashion Week so we'll be there for some sneak peaking as well. 

I'll give you more updates later to night but now it's time for some 

tea and the last pieces of apple pie. 

Have a nice day!

What a wonderful world

We woke up to the most wonderful of news this morning. Our dear friends

baby girl was born tonight, so beautiful and everything went well. We're so 

happy for them and sat with teary eyes during breakfast. Longing for our next 

one and felt amazed (more than usual, if possible) by our lovely daughter who 

was sitting next to us yawning and picking up small bread pieces. She's 

almost to good to be true.

I'll go swimming soon and after that we'll send a gift to the newborn. 

Life is just fascinating. 

Have a nice day!
