a summerday in the city

2012-05-27T09:56:00.001+02:00

yesterday I went to copenhagen to hang out with a friend of mine

lunch outside, wine, talk, crafty time and lovely weather

who can wish more....

I also made a visit to one of my favourite craft shops, Garn-iture

the cheerful tins on the top of the shelves are lovely

there will soon come new ones in the shop

squared with room for craft supplies!

you can get knit and crochet patterns for adults too

some people think that the shop is only for kids

...then I'm a childish adult

yarn de-stash

2012-05-22T15:51:00.000+02:00

my cotton potholders are done

I'm quite satisfied with this small de-stash project

today is a good day

I'm reading a book, baking,

hand quilting in the garden

home alone - just me and a sunny tuedsday

Parsnip and me

2012-05-18T17:45:00.001+02:00

I did it - I finished my Parsnip tunic

and we are already best friends

it's an A-line tunic and as you can see, you can also wear it alone as a dress

- or with a pair of jeans

the pattern is featured in Purelife - the recycled collection by Rowan

yarn: Purelife Revive - a recycled Rowan yarn with tweed effect

I really like the yarn

it's hard to see the lovely colours in the yarn

my feet are happy and blue

more paper fun

birdie note list

I have so much fun making these paper note lists

perfect as a gift for a crafty friend or two

(....with a set of neon pencils)

paper work

2012-05-15T21:06:00.001+02:00

I like lists and notebooks

today I made a cross between lists and notebooks
(Pinterest inspiration)

I like to write realistic to-do lists

and I always carry a notebook and a pencil with me

just in case

I can write notes on my Iphone, but I like to write with my pencil

...and calenders.

I'm looking for a new planner system

and the other day I saw this on Pinterest

wish I had such a calender....

and it's such a great idea to use masking tape like that

do you know any good calenders with space for my pencil written words...?!

strawberry picnic

2012-05-04T21:12:00.002+02:00

things are a little slow round here these days

I got sick the morning after our return from Paris

it's bvvp and it's not over yet

some days are good and some are not

some nights are like a rollercoaster ride every time I turn in bed

it don't keep me from dreaming new dreams

long time ago I bought the strawberry picnic ....fabric bundle here

a peachy bundle of loviness

the peachy bundle should end up as a summer quilt

but nothing has happened so far

I still have another picnic quilt to finish

...and I also have the yellow quilt, that I want to make

I like bundles of quilts and crochet and knit blankets

perfect for crispy summer nights in the garden

tomorrow I will make plans and try to make dreams come true

have a wonderful weekend

I like Paris

2012-04-08T15:28:00.014+02:00

I need warmer days, sun, spring flowers

I love colours and there are luckily enough everywhere

tomato bread

2012-04-08T08:51:00.000+02:00

I guess, you already know, how much I like to bake

...and so do my husband. Sometimes we have too much bread in the house..

Saturday I made tomato bread with rosemary, mozarella and basiil

I used semi-dried tomatoes - you can buy it in the local supermarket

or you can make it yourself

cut the tomatoes in halves and place them on baking paper
season with salt, a bit of sugar, olive oil and rosemary
and then in the oven for 1-2 hours by 150 degrees celcius

I usually don't use a recipe, when I bake, but I will try to make one now

you need

half a liter of tempid water

25 g of yest

salt, olive oil

1 dl durum flour

5-6 dl (I guess...) italian flour Tipo 00 (...or any flour with high protein)

yeast into water and stir, add the durum flour, salt and olive oil and stir

then let it rest for 20 minutes

then you add the rest of the flour little by little

NOTE: it's a wet dough and you don't need to put your hands in it

let it raise 1-2 hours depending on the flour, temperature and mood

put some flour on the table and let the dough rest for 15 minutes

(the oil is from the bowl the dough raised in)

spread the dough a little if it's needed

and then add tomates, basil and mozarella

and work it into the dough

- it's easier if you use your hands

cut the dough as you like and place it on baking paper

add olive oil and Maldon sea salt

I placed two pizza stones in the oven

bake for 15 - 20 minutes - depending on the oven and the size of the breads

- 225 degrees celcius

perfect bread for soup

bon apetit!

easter time

2012-04-04T11:08:00.000+02:00

usually we don't do a lot of decoration for easter

eggs and flowers in cheerful colors are great decoration

I have made a tiny bird nest with easter eggs, that's all

take a look here if you want inspiration for easter

(...and the rest of the year!)

a cup of....pink cuties

we have not decorated eggs since the kids were small

but I was inspired, when I visited my friend, V's blog

- maybe next year
