StickyGram in the mailbox

Yay! Received my StickyGrams. They are so cool.

Preparing for winter

Greta is preparing. A lot ow wool arrived today, including this cute little hat Greta seems to like. Yes!

Long time, no see

I know I did not write any post for more than a week now, and I am very sorry about it. Meanwhile, I was extremely inspired at work, so I am enjoying it while it lasts. My leg is much better, tomorrow I am going to a check up. Also I found a great autumn in-between seasons jacket that arrived today. I love it, it is dark blue and it looks pretty on me. I am happy!

Tennis

I have new tennis shoes, and I played for two hours a wonderful summer evening. Life is beautiful.

The rainbow in the sky!

And Santiago bought himself a new bike, and I bought 2 pair of running shoes from Roadrunnersports. Looking forward to get them. Mizuno Wave Nirvana 8 for road running and Mizuno Ascend 7 for the forest!

The yarn positive!

Today I was inspecting my yarn boxes, and what o you think happened when Santiago and Greta came upstares. This looks like a yarn-therapy to me. They look so cozy.
Oh, yes. the result of my inspection is the conncusion that I have way to much yarn and I decided that I am not allowed to buy any more (unless needed in already started project) before I finish everything! Or... unless somebody wants to make me a yarn-present.

18. something I bought

 

Raw homemade chocolate

Inspired by the raw chocolate recipe from Hole. But I did not have most of the ingredients, so I made my own version of it. Here it is.
3/4 jar raw cacao bliss
2 spoons cacao nibs
4 spoons agave nectar
2 spoons activated barley
2 vanilla beans (contents)
a pinch of Himalaya salt

It tastes good! But I could not eat more than 2 at a time. I guess it is good, too! :-)

Giveaway!

Today you have a chance to win a "house doctor" desktop box wherte you can store your writing and other supplies.
I liked them so much that I bought three. I gave one to my husband in an attempt to make him more organized, one I use myself for my scrapbooking supplies I the hobby room, but the third can be yours if you just leave a comment here for this post.
Good luck!

UPDATE: Just forgot to add, that the winner will be chosen next thursday, October the 27th.

The pumpkin

 
 
I could not resist the pumpkin today. I just saw it and I thought it should be ours. I found a great recipe to make a pumpkin pie. I am not a big fun of Halloween, so any other ideas of what I can do with it?

Pileable candleholders

Those nice candleholders can be piled and stacked in any possible way. They are even called astack. This is part of my parents´present to me for my upcoming birthday. They took a nice place in the entrance area on top of the psychedelic color table together with a nice branch from a tree. I know, the walls are supposed to be white, I still did not time to paint the entrance.

The fridge in the kitchen gets more important things to reming me. About hope, gratitude and being myself.

Textile garden

Oh, they smell so nice. Bamboo and coconut shell buttons. Recommend!

More yarn in the house

It feels like Christmas. Wonderful merino wool and woolsilk are here. Greta took them carefully out of the package and smelled them. So cozy!

1.september

Today is the first day of autumn, even though some trees are becoming yellow and red duning the last week already. 6 degrees in the morning, and 25 in the evening. Unedpected showers almost everyday out of the clear sky. Greta got a rose from a political party, and that reminds me that I have to sit and read all those political brochures, because for the forst time in my life I am going to elections. Yes, don´t be surprised :-)

September = skirtember. I found this group on Facebook, and during the month of September I am going to wear mostly skirts and dresses. But since it is cold in the morning, I bought today a mountain of tights to complete the mission.

Join the skirtember!

Learning to use a scooter

Greta has been learning to use a scooter this summer, because our friend Carlos gave her a scooter as a present for her second birthday. But for some unknown reasons, she found it really difficult to learn, and was falling sometimes and losing control. So I heard about another kind of scooter, with 2 wheels in front and one back (while the scooter Greta has, has two wheels back and one in front). And.... it is magic! Just after a minute of using it she understood the principle! She has learnt! Yay!

Jazz and just lots of good shopping

Yesterday we had a babysitter, while we were at the Jazz Festival with our colleagues from work, and went for a walk in the town.

The festival market was quite nice, but so many expensive things. Nice at the same time.

Hehe, and in the foreigners grocery shop I saw pryaniki! But bought condensed milk instead :-)

And when we got home, a nice surprise was waiting for us. 2 boxes from iHerb and the new Ottobre magazine. Once again, iHerb is amazing. These containers have a freezer element to keep food fresh all the time. Plus subscreen and antibug and the foot lotion, and the tea.

And at the jazz festival be bought me a nice dress. Cool retro style.

More shopping. Onr tee for everybody - with the jazzfestival logo. Plus some things for me and Santiago.

So nice to do shopping sometimes :-))
