Right, not today, but in a month, it it my turn to grow up. Now, I know you out there are dying to make me a present, but you know how practical I am trying to become with presents? That is why I am helping you out. Wanna make me happy this year? That is not a problem!

I would be happy to receive:
1. Some of the kitchen accessories from the "Mormor" collection.
2. Wool yarn, especially Drops Baby Merino in gray, pink and lilac.
3. Embroidery hoops in all possible sizes
4. A chili plant
5. Henna hair color (Lush Caca Marron) to continue my experiments
6. "Norway says" salt and pepper shakers
7. Waldorf doll making supplies.
8. Contigo thermo-mug
9. Glass-painting colors.
10. Bamboo soap.

Just one month left!

Hurray! Greta will become a 3 year old in just one month! We are getting ready, so many things to do before that. But just in case somebody out there wants to give Greta a present, but does not know what, here are some ideas:

Greta would be happy to get for her birthday:

tourist equipment, like a sleeping bag
some cute wall stickers
a dollhouse, like Lundby
a THERMObottle of this kind
a parrot-shaped pillow
sport equipment, like ice skates
a big world map to learm why we can't get from one place to another instantly
something fun for the bath-time, like bath sprudels
BOOKS!
a cute lunch box, like this very hungry catepillar lunch box

Moomin mugs

I like collecting these mugs. I already have 7, but would not mind having more. Actually, when I see them in a shop, I can't control myself and buy yet another one. Good thing the whole family likes them, both small and big ones.

PS. I am playing with my iPad for a couple of days now, it is so nice!

A letter to Santa

I have beed good this year. And since it is Christmas soon, I reserve the right to be a bit materialistic :-)) Just in case somebody who really wants to give me something for Christmas, does not know what to choose.

- Any good wool yarn
- iPhone (what? it can be a dream, right?)
- Anything Wik&Walsoe
- Contigo autoseal drinking devices
- Candy :-))
- A silver bracelet
- Anything Hocosa
- Anything handmade, especially knitted or sewn (spelled right?)
- Lots of cheap madagascan vanilla from eBay

Now those who complain about not having any idea about gifts, will know :-))

Yes! Here it is.

Our new car!

Trying the car

Today we are trying a new car that we like. It is Renault Grand Scenic. So far, we like most of the things about it (except the price, of course). We will see tomorrow, if they can give us a good deal or not.

Colour coffee

It was really nive to drive. Minimal noise inside, parking back view camera, gps, glass top roof, etc etc

Big trunk

Or little trunk... if you use all 7 seats.

This one sure loved the car. Was difficult to take her out of it.

Finally got out :-)

To play with the umbrella running after Sofia

The mushroom

Today Greta received her night light - a mushroom. She liked it from the moment she saw it. Now she sleeps with it turned on (but now we have so much light that we don´t need any additional light at night).

Cool platters

Meyer-Lavigne platters. You can actually eat from them, but I think they are best looking on the wall. The bear, the horse and the cat are my favorites :-)

(but so expensive)

Plans for the weekend in Oslo

1. Stof og Stil (Drammen)

The last one is the cover for the table. This and other fabrics and sewing things from my wishlist :-)
2. 10 km in Oslo - Saturday
3. Buy tennis shoes for Santiago (and something for tennis for me, in Lysaker) :-))
4. Get some flowers and seeds to plant in the garden (clematis, crocus, sunflower)
5. Buy some pearls for Greta for playing and making bracelets. I think the age is quite appropriate already. Sprell or Riktige Leker in Oslo

I still have several days to think of something more I need there :-))
