Happy Birthday to me ❤️

Yesterday was my birthday, I was too busy celebrating it with the kids, to show you these beautiful roses Mr W sent me :-)

This and that.....

Starting a new semester has been a lot of work. We all have to adjust to it, I don't have as much time to do stuff around the house as I have been used to this summer. But I just need to be a little more efficient ;-)
Viola loves her princess-gown, and wears it any chance she gets!
And she is epecially happy with how it matches her new wool unicorn-slippers.
She loves the "diamonds" on these.

Ask has a cold, a very bad one. He doesn't sleep well at night at all -so neither do I!
He stayed home today, hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. Chocolate always makes me feel a little better.....it seemed to cheer him up too. I'm not too sure that's a good thing to learn at such an early age. LOL!
I'm trying NOT to eat chocolate, so to cheer me up (I get grumpy when I don't get the 5 hours of interrupted sleep I'm used to), Charles and Viola bought me these flowers.
Surprisingly, they do the job just as well as chocolate would have! Now that's a good lesson to learn at any age!

I have not been able to get to my machine in a while, which almost always means I come up with a lot of idea for quilts to sew! I have figured out what to do to solve the size-problem with Charles' quilt....I will let you know soon ;-)
Thanks to Lisa and Tia I have fabrics and plans for no less than 2 quilts for Ask! YAY! A pirate-quilt for his bed and a a rocket napping-size quilt. I'm so excited about that!

And....I have always wanted to make a Christmas-quilt. I don't see this wish coming true this year, but maybe next year?!
Is it just me? I love these seasonal quilts...

A day in the life of.....

This is Viola playing on the slide in front of our building! She loves that thing! I don't always love it so much, as it makes it very unappealing for a little girl to climb the 6 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor.

I didn't get much done today, besides the usual cleaning. I did get some fabric ready for washing, though. Viola picked these out by herself. She needs some sweatpants for the chilly mornings.

Obviosly that silvery blue fabric was an instant hit....and no.....they didn't have it in either pink or purple :-(

Appleblossoms....a present from Viola.

Keep your fingers crossed for Ask, he and I are going to visit his daycare every day next week, and hopefully after that, he'll be okay being there on his own.

-and I'll be sad, he's only 13 months old!

First Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ask!
Can't believe it's been a year already.... Viola (our oldest, she's 3) had chosen Asks cake, she loves anything with sprinkles!


Look at all the goodies he got


And look at these beauties! The weather is terrible outside, don't know if spring is ever going to come this far north, so flowers really make a difference. Anything with color, really. I'm not pleased with grey and slush and rain anymore!


Speaking of rain and bad weather.....I still don't leave the house without these. Think I have raised that companys stock singlehandedly these past few days!


But hopefully that will be all better tomorrow!

....oh.....look who Ask and I saw when we were out today

For those of you who don't know, this is Mary, the CrownPrincess of Denmark. We're very proud of her!
She actually came over and said hi to Ask, asked how old he was and wished him a happy birthday!
