Confetti

Hi! How are you?
I'm good :)


This man was in Amsterdam earlier this week and came home with a couple of tasty cheeses.


The trees look like confetti.


We shared a pizza in the sun as welcome home party.


I've been a bit too social this week, I find it hard to find balance between being with people and being alone. I need so much alone time to recharge my energy to be social again, do you know what I mean?

Anyway, it's Saturday and the last day of September. Took a walk around my neighbourhood earlier today and thought about how beautiful everything will be the coming 4-6 weeks. Colour explosions, hopefully some foggy mornings, heavy rain, heavy sun, starting to heat up the apartment again, staying home a lot, reading books, binge watching tv-series while making Wrist Worms. I have a good feeling about this Fall.

Stay warm

The other day I met my friend Tenia for coffee and to take some pictures of Wrist Worms. Seeing my friends wearing the Wrist Worms makes me very happy.


The season is here for sure. I always keep a pair in my bag these days, for the chilly mornings and evenings.


This is the bordeaux pair.


And this is the curry pair. Efaristo, Teniaki!

Here you find lots and lots of different colours of Wrist Worms.

Today I woke up to a very dark and rainy day, love it. Spent an hour in bed drinking coffee, talking to Johan, looking at food pictures on Instagram. Now I'm working until it's time to meet up with friends for some food and celebrate Ben, who's running the Berlin Marathon right now.

New stuff!

I have finally started working on a new collection of Wrist Worms for larger hands. They are made of a mix of 65% wool and 35% alpaca and right now my favourite yarn to work with. Here you see the petrol pair.


Not only have I been working on new Wrist Worms, I also made a few beanies, here is the bright lilac one together with a brand new loop scarf and a pair of anthracite Wrist Worms.


Love how Johan combined the coral Wrist Worms with his green sweater.

I hope you will like the new stuff :)
Thanks for popping by!

Last meal in Sweden

And, so it's time to say bye to Sweden this time. Hope to return next year.


A blurry picture from Johan's parents' living room, that sofa is so comfy. I fall asleep as soon as I lie down in it.


Gave Johan's mum a pair of my favourite Wrist Worms.


It was time for our last meal together.


From the greenhouse, of course.


The cheeses we bought in Stockholm, blogged about it :)


Delicious!


This is an omelette with chanterelles.


And one omelette with ham for Johan's dad, who drove us to Stockholm airport, sweetheart.

Have been back home for 3 weeks now, mostly making Wrist Worms and having my brother from another mother, Erik, here for some days. Fall is here and I enjoy it fully, I will take in every moment and collect sun inside of me, because hey! We all know the brutal, grey Berlin winter is coming and I love it. It's in a way how I see my Berlin, since I visited here in Winter most of the time before moving here. Are you ready for Berlin pictures? I plan to take my camera out from now on.

Last meal in the greenhouse

Our last night in Sweden. Chilling the glasses for...


...dirty dry martini! My number 1 favourite cocktail. And popcorn, yum.


Johan's mum made seafood risotto, I helped her a bit. I love pouring wine into food, even more than pouring it into myself.


We spent the night here. The dessert was champagne with lemon sorbet. I always prefer savory stuff, like a cheese platter, as dessert and now I found a sweet one that I like, thank you mother-in-law!


Thinking of that greenhouse every day, looking forward to next time.

One more Sweden post to go and then Berlin will make a come back on this blog again ;)

I bought a house

The second last day in Sweden. Me and my mother-in-law got up and made breakfast; leftovers from our crayfish party on Saturday.


So good.


Then we went out for a walk.


Saw a poisonous snake, it was dead. RIP.


Admiring this door, how beautiful is that colour...?!


Then I decided to buy this house.


This will be my bedroom on bright summer nights.


And here is my swimming pool.


Another view of my new house.


Beautiful flowers in my garden.


Will always know what time it is.


This is going to be a combined studio and guesthouse. Move in date: Next life.


Made me laugh. It says AWAY in Swedish. Go away, dreams of that new house!


After the walk, we were hungry again and made a chanterelle toast.

Lunch in the forest

This is Johan's grandparents' house. After almost 7 years in Berlin, I cannot tell you what a luxury it is to be able to go to a place like this and breathe super fresh air. And the tap water, you wouldn't believe me.


The view from the house. Forest, forest, forest.


Johan's grandmother is so good at details. Like her daughter, Johan's mother.


Grandmother had made soup while we were out in the forest picking mushrooms.


The bass from the night before (which grandfather had fished). The soup was super super delicious, made of cream, some seafood cheese, dill, carrot etc. Couldn't stop eating.


Time for dessert.


Cream & cloudberry jam. And grandfather on his smartphone.


Waffles! We have this every time we visit the grandparents, as well as when we visit my father.


In the evening, we picked up some Indian take away to enjoy in the greenhouse with Johan's mum. Was a delightful night; we made a fire, listened to music and drank Kraken.

Picking mushrooms

Monday, 3 weeks ago. We woke up at Johan's grandparents' house and had a long breakfast together (the evening before we had a lovely dinner with bass, potatoes, asparagus and mushrooms) and then Johan, his grandfather and I went into the forest.


I had only picked mushrooms once before in my life, it was exciting.


We found a few, I wasn't really into it because I was very absorbed by the light and the scents.





Johan found one that he thought was worth taking an extra picture of.


We went back to this place.


Hello, fluffy!


Chanterelles & a porcino.


We, of course, took a fika break with Johan's grandmother. After that Johan & grandfather went back into the forest and we stayed at the house drinking more coffee until they came back.


Then we all took a short walk to see if we could find a special type of chanterelle, but they weren't ready yet.


So much going on in this picture.

After this, we were all hungry and a delicious lunch was waiting for us in the kitchen.
