Swedish spring is amazing. It starts somewhere in March if we’re lucky and goes all the way until the end of May if summer isn’t early… Every week there are some new spring flowers popping up through the ground, making me smile.

Spotted Photo Theme: Winter Trees
One thing that I really like about Christmas is the tree. My favorite kind of fir tree is the snow covered tree, growing in the forest. So far there hasn’t been any snow at all where I live (last night it was raining for two hours!), but I’m still picking the fir tree as my […]

A house in the dark
I have had this white metal house for years, but not until tonight it occurred to me to open the bottom and stick a candle inside it. I’m so glad I did. I have an endless fascination with the lit candles and the way light moves, reflects and warms us. Especially in a dark Swedish […]
Pink window lights
I’ve got pink row of lights hanging in one of my windows. Every time I look up I feel warm inside. They make me super happy, and transforms the room totally when it’s dark outside. It’s such a little thing, but the past weeks it has made a huge difference. I don’t think I will […]
Winter is my favorite season
The streets are made of ice and the trees are still partly hidden in snow. Spring feels far away but when the sun comes out it makes everything a little brighter even when it is -14 degrees Celsius (6.8 Fahrenheit) outside. When I take my mittens off to snap a photo with my cell phone […]

In Sweden it is tradition to visit the cemetery and light a candle for your dead at All Saints’. This year it was the Saturday 6th […]
The gift of 365 Beautiful Days filled with Happine...
Yes, 4! Four days of 2010 have passed and all of those four days have been good days. I received a text message on New Year’s Eve saying I was gifted 365 happy days to use at my own disposal during the New Year. What a beautiful gift! Each morning since I wake up and […]
Your oneness is pure truth
Today I’m sharing this quote from The Universe: Any and all forms of separation – disconnects, divides, partings, breakups, and goodbyes – Hanna, are temporary. Very. You’ll be together far, far longer than you will ever be apart. Forever and ever. Your oneness, Hanna, is pure truth; your separation is pure fantasy. And my cat, […]
Prisms from sunshine
It’s snowing outside right now, and have been doing that since yesterday. I really want to crochet this, any ideas on how? Pattern please! Winter is here to stay I guess – I need to go back to autumn times (September 20th) and enjoy a day when the light came through my window. At least […]
