Relaxing

this week I took a plane to Sweden
to visit my brother and his girlfriend for a few days

what we do here is relax


CE Inne ute is my favorite shop in Örebro ~ so fresh and light
with a lovely terrace in Stallbäcken


we take our time for good coffee
and homemade sweets


this is the nearest yarn, fabric and craftshop
isn't that the cutest you have ever seen?

now I am off to relax some more
and work on my newest WIP - a natural colored blanket for our home

wishing you a relaxing sunny weekend too

~ Scandinavian love ~

    Hej!
    Wat leuk dat je weer bij je broer bent! Lekker weer even genieten! Ik zie aan de foto's dat jullie daar ook lekker weer hebben. Nou ik deze foto's heb gezien ... begint het helemaal bij mij te kriebelen ... Half Juni gaan wij!
    Geniet van het heerlijke land en je familie!

    What a lovely time you had in Sweden. I love the shops especially the wool & yarn shop. How lucky your brother lives there for you to visit.

    Wish I could be a Swiss Miss too! Love those jonquils on the table, bet they smelled beautiful. They are one of my favourites because of their perfume. Have a great weekend!

    Môgge Maaike!
    Mooi weer, een trip naar je broer, erg mooie wolkleuren en een open hart van hout...Super post! Weet je, na mijn kleine lapje voor ingrid ben ik weer eens in de ban van breien, dus een deken voor op de bank gemaakt van allemaal lapjes is wat ik ga maken, als ik nu begin dan ben ik vast wel klaar voor de kerst....toch?...Dikke knuf, Maureen

    Nice! Wij gaan ook elke grote vakantie voor enkele weken naar Zweden (Värmland). Waar liggen deze shops? Mochten ze niet te ver uit de buurt liggen, zou ik ook eens binnenwippen!

    Scandinavia is precious. In every way. Seeing your pictures makes me homesick. Well, life in Suisse is not to bad either. I get the best of everything. How do you make your photo collages? I have seen many but can't figure it out... Is it Picasa? Do I need a special software for it. It is really nice to lay out a blog this way. Good luck on your new WiP. I have just finished one myself. Kram
