a baby




what did I come up with these last months?


some work on paper












tiny embroidery collage

But most important the quilts....

working on this baby quilt that my little granddaughter to
be will have.
when i got the news i got lots of energy to create and
my hands were suddenly busy from morning to night







found this almost finished little hexagon quilt among other 
unfinished pieces, 

finally a handquilting project again



knitted, quilted 






glad to have my international atc-group which is pushing me in
different directions.
these are the envelopes on their way




finally i can use my little granny squares to 
warm a little baby girl this winter......

long long long time

been away from blogging so long now.
Left this beautiful world of winter in late april.......

this is really my childhood world and i get more and more
homesick as years go by
But.......



soon this will be my reality. Summer has always been the westcoast for me.
as a child we travelled through the long long country of Sweden to
get to our summer house. it took a couple of days but once there
we had a long summer in paradise.



As a grown up, I am blessed to have a place called my own
on the spot I grew up in summerholidays. And to have family all around.



soon this will be my everyday 






and this......




For you MAM. this is a little space called Maryland, from the previous owner.
It´s a privat little place to go in the very salt seawater when you need to cool down.
with a little seat on the rock to meditate.









                                                 enjoy!

this morning





















to wake up to this makes you grateful for your eyes 
to see
for your heart
to feel
for your luck
to have the possibility

winterlove

this morning I woke up to this

not this, photo not taken by me but it shows the northern part of Sweden from where my roots are

this is the actual place where I lived my 19 first years






this is around my corner right now in the middle of 
Sweden but in the mountains.
this is like a brides dress to me


my view from my desk right now














this is my favourite season of all seasons and I am happy to be able to find myself
in this scenery

my paradise


my summerdream








the beautiful church from my home town. it sits at the bottom of the mountain and is a 
landmark in my heart as is the mountain called Dundret
