Couldn’t stop myself from searching for a How To on these puppies. I found this one on Knittastic. No idea when or if I’ll get around to this … PS: I know I am behind on this trend but I am slow that way. I always have to go through the process of 1. rejecting …

What I do when I am not packing | Procrastination
We mean business. No, not the banana trade business. We mean the business that is packing so we get outta here. Now we just have to pack our stuff. We still don’t know when we’re going to be able to move but when you think about it, packing a little each day would make it …
Indian-Per
Last night we visited a former colleague of Peter’s. They don’t call him „Indian-Per“ for nothing: he’s single-handedly turned the farm he bought into a ranch. This guy really has an eye (and two hands) for details. I took some pix, check it out: So inspiring to meet someone with a vision and so much …

(It doesn’t seem to matter, whether your house actually has a back door, it’s automatically the side opposite the side …
Kua! Quoi?| Feng Shui
While we were up in Sundsvall, Peter found this Feng Shui book at one of the second-hand places. The discoveries we’ve made about „our“ house (and ourselves) are just uncanny. In a good way! OK, I don’t know all that much about Feng Shui, and from what I gather so far it’s a rather complex …
Straw bale house
Time flies by as always. I have an intense week at work coming up. My boss is participating in a conference, and I’m one of the two P. A.s accompanying her. We’re heading to exotic Sigtuna tomorrow, back Friday night if all goes well. Before I leave (still undecided whether to take my laptop with …
Recipes | Pesto fest
I am going to skip the part where I comment on the lack of postage around here … and go straight to the wonderful pesto I have made from the herbs we gathered at Törnagården. I looked up recipes online but I ended up playing it by ear for the most part. Basically, for pesto …
WWOOF | Törnagården
I’m back. It feels weird being in our apartment again after wwoofing a week on the country-side. At least it’s finally green around here, too. This past week was amazing and inspiring in so many ways. Initially we had planned on staying with two, maybe three different wwoof hosts. We ended up staying at Törnagården …
