Trees and park and preparations for celebrations away
I want a tree like this in my backyard. They are absolutely wonderful for shade, climbing or tree riding (sitting on those branches and bouncing on them). Its a little corner of our favorite park lately. Just beautiful.
So, I am alive, if you have been wondering. Not very bloggy chatty, but fine otherwise. The weather [...]

Coming close to 5 years – A Birth Story
For me this started on the two days before the actual birth at 10:40pm when I lost some of the plug. I know it usually doesn’t mean much, but it has now proven to be a very good sign for me. A very good one for impending labour indeed.
That night I was having some regular [...]

More Saga – the avocado in the bag
Here is what happens if you leave the grocery bags on the floor for a little bit longer. I saw him playing with the avocado, but thought to myself “its alright, he cant do too much damage with this firm fruit”.
I was wrong.
Notice the hair mask! The wiping on the shirt. Lovely movements.
And some went [...]

Aprons from hand printed fabric and the story of the gunky pants
I have a lot of dreams. One of them is of me enjoying a big studio in the house, where I spend lovely hours designing fabrics, meters and meters of them, then printing them and sorting them out to send to my extremely (of course) happy and satisfied customers. In my dream I am very [...]

Interruption
I decided to show you how cute someone can be eating a piece of nectarine.
So I snapped him.
He saw me.
He did.
He felt my snapping self.
He got all curious.
The fruit lowered down.
The eyebrows went up.
And there was no more eating.
Never mind, I can show you how cute someone can be just, being.
Ignore the black mark on [...]

Are you a real woman? Checklist here
Reading the paper the other day, I was reminded of how fucked up the image of a woman is in our society. The story is about a new plastic sek5 1 doll. Its in the World section of the paper and amongst stories about Israel, migrant riots in Italy and prisoner abuse in Iran.
What is [...]

And the saga continues
The following events unfolded about 3 weeks ago…
He is just chilling after lunch in his favorite position – foot on the table, usually placed there with the fanfare and care of a goblet full of liquid gold. Here it is – my foot! Plonk. Stare for reactions of awe in the public.
Looks serious and like [...]

Priorities
The other day I took the children to the river for some play around and to catch up with friends. On the way back we planned to visit a favorite cafe of ours and eat the yummo veggie balls they make for lunch.
It was hot, the place doesnt have air conditioning, only a few fans [...]

My bathroom is flooded
Its all soaked through and worst of all, not any cleaner either. Just wet to the bone.
I had a quick look through it, while paddling on to my bathroom mat. I examined the crime scene very carefully. Something serious had happened here. Not just a simple burst pipe. Oh, no. There were splatters all over [...]
