Packing and Purchasing

Thank you everybody, for all your support!

It means soooo much to me, that I have this world - Blogland - and I can't stress this enough: It really helps me through this time in my life!

I have started to pack up my stuff. I started in my craft room and the attic. Phew....I sure have a lot of stuff.

I have also started to purchase some of the things, that I will need in our new place. Like towels and the likes on the above photo. The tea towels are from our trip to Sweden. I got them in Åhléns and they are muchos pretty. I need some more of them! I also got some of the fab fabrics below, that I've been yearning for, ever I since I laid my eyes on them the first time. They were actually the first thing I saw, when I stepped into the streets of Jönsköping! (From iems.)

Don't you just looove the part with Elisabeth's name? I totally freaked out, when I saw it! Oh, and by the way - she has opened an etsy shop, where you can buy her gorgeous print!

What's Up?

OK, time to explain what's up:

My Husband and I have separated. The kids and I will move into an apartment near by, on November 15. th. I am starting school next week (some classes to finish High School). And then I will study to get a Bachelors Degree in Pedagogy, here in town as well.

The decision is something we've agreed on and we are still friendly and will continue to be so. We have always been great at working together around the kids and they are still our main focus, even though this is a very selfish decision. We haven't been able to work out our difficulties and have spent the last 3 or so years, trying hard - especially because we have kids.

I am not very creative these days....duh!....and will soon pack up all my stuff, but I will continue my Blog, only it will be a little here and a little there, to keep you up to date and as soon as the kids and I have settled in, I hope to "get back on track".... I really love my Blog world and my 2 year Bloggaversary is coming up in November!

Hugs to everyone and to those who already knows and have been so kind to me. You know who you are.....

Sweetest Sweden

We just returned from Kyrkekvarn in Sweden, where we had a wonderful time. We stayed in one house all 12 of us - my husbands brother, sister and mom + families - it was quite a trip. We went canoing, hiking, fishing and horse back riding. The kids loved it!

And Mama got to do a little Swedish shopping....more about that in another post.....

Like I Really Need a New Hobby....

I recently bought some new paint. See I've been using the kids poster paint and it is not good! The paintings I already made looks awful now...bah! I also got some new canvases and took a look at my Great Grandpas old paint box - isn't it marvelous? A lot of my ancestors have painted at some point in their lives and my Grandpas brother was living as an artist - I like that, I'm very intrigued, but I don't really need a new hobby, now do I?

(The "owl-Christmas-tree" print is made by Elisabeth - I SO, so love it! I will buy a black Ribba frame for it in IKEA and hang it on my wall - can hardly wait!)
