High summer pt. 1
My mum's definition of "summer" is as simple as it is true: It's the time when all activities normally performed indoors is moved to the outdoors.
I don't want to sleep at night because it's so light and warm. And I don't want to stay in bed in the morning because it's so light and warm. I want to do all my eating, working, reading, partying, playing, writing, knitting outside. And I do!
We are having the best summer in Sweden this year, better than in a long time :)
Scallops!
So, this is what it could look like, the "Scallops" wallpaper.
I'm thinking about how I'm going to use it when I get my hands on it - I have quite a few ideas :)
There is no way I will ever get tired of this simple kind of pattern. We may have seen the scallop shape being used in different kinds of ways for years by now, but just like a true classic, it doesn't go out of style. It is a shape I will always come back to. It is such a perfect ornament! Visual, fun and simple - just as I like it.

Curated by Fine Little Day
Dear everyone!
My "Scallops" print has turned into wallpaper, as a part of the Curated by Fine Little Day Collection for Photowall Sweden! It is a collection of wallpapers selected by brilliant Elisabeth Dunker of Fine Little Day, and are being released one per day this week.
I am quite proud to be represented in the same collection as such talented people as Kindra Murphy, Mogu Takahashi, Cecilia Pettersson and Steffie Brocoli!
Take a closer look at the project at the Fine Little Day and Photowall blogs. And stay tuned for more to come!

I am not very good at sorting stuff, although I love the concept of it. I also love Pinterest, although it forces me to sort stuff in categories all the time. Here is some recent loveliness.

The first month of summer
May is my favourite month of the year. According to an old Swedish saying, the time between the blossoming of the bird cherry and that of the lilac is the time to go on holiday. So I did.
As a fairly new resident of Gothenburg, I have taken some time to explore the nearby area of Majorna - my current favourite part of town, with old wooden buildings and lots of green. The photos above are from the annual "Mega-Loppis" - that one Saturday in May when the whole neighbourhood turns into a giant second hand market!
Now, it's time to leave town for the summer.
Mittens on sale!
Summer is here! And winter for you Down Under, I guess :)
I'm having a small mitten clearance sale for a week, starting today! Just because it's my birthday today. And because I might have a small dyeing project for the summer and need to make room in the yarn supply...
So: From May 29 until June 5, Granliden Mittens are available for only 33€ a pair! Take your pick. 13 colours to choose between. Tricky.
Also, the Granliden 1982 print is back in stock, as well as Scallops.
Wish you all a great week!
I ♥ Gothenburg
I think I would say Basar was a success.
People stood up to the cold, cold rain and came to browse through the stands of vintage and handmade goods. Thank you all! We had a really nice time. And the sun actually came out occasionally.
The Bergslagsgatan/Up the Wooden Hills stand was a good idea, the mix of hand sewn/knitted textile products in fine materials, and the paper goods. Thank you for a good day, Lisa!
Some of the other exhibitors were Once Upon a Time, Anïve for the Minors, Camilla Broyn, Plingsulli, WinterbirdCo., bib and Drömma - who hosted the whole event in her courtyard.
There will most likely be another Basar in the autumn, so if you missed this one, you get a new chance!
Here you can see the event through Fine Little Day's lens :)
