…can be so good when the weather speaks the language of Summer.

At least Elin and Kristian enjoy their Sunday. No worries – just ice cream and play.

Someone had less ice cream and more worries – painting…

Since this is my place it should have been me painting – but no…I was inside doing my own handiwork…

Still no summer heat to talk about. But, a good summer Sunday here at the west coast of Norway.

Yes...she is ready for the guests....

 Me ? No, I am not ready yet. Although I have been cleaning one more room.

….Instead of working hard – I take it easy. When I came home from work today I plugged in my TV. Have not done that in almost three years. I was starting to feel left behind. Not so much to see, but I did get some Christmas spirit. There is no way I can spend time watching the screen without doing something with my hands, so I made something totally useless…..

So...maybe I will find a bush to hang it on....

…Poor baby…Tor Helge had to say goodbye to one more Golf today. Driving home from Trondheim to deliver his rental car and to empty the wreck of a Golf he crashed last weekend. To be young and poor is no fun.

... the end of a good relationship...

Okay, he will get over it. Since I am the only one walking into work –  he is back in Trondheim with my car. Since I don`t like driving and I don`t like owning a car at all, I am perfectly fine with that. I guess we have some fun time ahead of us. Both Tor and I need a new car. Tor is the lucky one that do not have an old car to sell. Selling old car is not good business this days. Buying second hand might be…I don`t think the men in my family are looking forward to dealing with me buying a car…

I have not been scrapbooking at all this weekend. Since I am working Saturdays, the weekends are over all to soon. After almost a week with rain, snow and storms we had a nice winter day…after it stopped snowing this morning. I have done some cleaning and I finished all my 48 pieces of crocheting.

There is only one week left – getting ready for Christmas.  I do not like to stress in December. Working in a super marked provides enough stress and I need to relax when I am home. Since I didn`t do that much today it means I am having a busy week ahead of me.

5 pieces done - 43 left to do......

Reading Stacy Julian`s blog last night almost made me decide to follow her advice : Eating healthy, no sugar, 30 minutes exercise every day and going to bed before 10…. I messed up at 6.30 am…and I hate going to bed before 10 pm. So..I guess I am no follower. Then again I don`t have Thanksgiving to think about.

I am taking a brake from my scrapbooking for a few days. I am trying to clean up the mess in my room, and do some cleaning before Christmas. Still following Jessica Sprague`s storytelling class. Trying to find a platform to keep my writing together. Maybe a private blog can be the answer….There is a lot of clever people in the class so I might get some ideas in the forum.

In the meantime I found my crocheting needle and some yearn. Maybe it can be something for the baby-doll cradle….
