Vacation that went by.

A glimpse from our vacation in France.

From a house we love so much in a lovely village, 

Les Baux, by the foot of Mont Ventoux.

This time the girls joined us and they understand,

why we love this place so much.

Frederikkes sleeping place - worthy of a princess.

Vintage.

Light in the living room.

Grapes - view from the kitchen.

Market purchase for me. Lovely craft.

Postcard writing.

Early night.

I can't believe, that the vacation already is over.

I need more time.....

Sunday and finally vacation

Hanging over breakfast Sunday morning and

 I suddenly realize, that my best quilt ideas

have been my vacation quilt projects, 

like Rosy Summer and Blue Sea

(the only vacation quilts I still have).

It came to me when I got an idea for a baby quilt. 

I forgot all about my breakfast and had to find

fabrics to match the quilt. 

It took me only two minutes to find the perfect fabrics.

It's a bit scary to see, how easy it is for me to craft,

when I'm on vacation.

Even if it's scary, I'm glad to see, how easy I relax, when I'm off.

I only wish, I could have a more creative - and maybe - 

crafty job.

I wish you all a lovely Sunday,

just like mine.

I think, I will invite my family to east fish by the sea tonight.

..back from Rome

 

Last Christmas my husband gave me a weekend to Rome

- the first weekend in May, our first Rome visit.

 

I want to share just a few photos with you.



Rome, sunny days, good food and wine, time and love -

who can ask for more....not me!

 



lazy days

 

Christmas is over for now,

but I'm in vacation mode and enjoy every single minute

 

 

 

 

the snow only lasted  a couple of days here

it's rainy and grey

perfect for knitting, sewing, baking and much more

 

2012 draws to a close and I spend some time looking through old pictures

a look back at the year

 

a perfect way to remember

how do you spend your day....!?

 

 



day one

a lovely summer night by the sea

 with my sister and her family



one of those days that I want to keep in my mind

that day was a nice break in the everyday life

a great way to start the holiday

remember to live right here and now



Liberty, linen, love..

saturday - and it's finally holiday time

we are ready for a break

we have to enjoy every single minute of this holiday

our youngest daughter leaves us in the beginning of August

she is going to Idaho for ten months

the pictures show the beginning of my holiday



a modest stack of linen needle bags

some years ago I bought a bundle of loveliness here

linen in the most beautiful colours



the linen is even more beautiful with the mix of Liberty fabric

I love needlebooks

I love linen and Liberty

so I'm very pleased with my modest stack





a dream come true

 now it's finally time to enjoy my christmas present

a romantic weekend in Paris

see you soon

 

by the sea

one week break away from home

love, knit, coffee, good food, walks by the sea, sun, rain
I'm not ready to go home....

come to Barcelona

my sister has made her dream come true
two weeks ago she opened a shop named Barcelona

she sells boxes, candle owls and gift paper from House Doctor
women clothes, shoes and jewellery
and most of all she sells her own design
(bags like these two on the photo and clothes)

my sisters own design (....favorites from my own wardrobe)

dreams

Olivia (age 17) left home this morning
with a crew pass in her bag
she is invited to watch ten fashion shows
at Københavns Rådhus

her dream is to become a designer and stylist
she loves fashion (...and shoes)
today is her first day here
lucky girl

I wish her all the luck in the world
