Finally I have gone through the photos taken during our wonderful scenic flight over Onsala. It was unfortunately quite a bumpy flight so I didn’t get a lot of sharp pictures. Luckily Dad scored a really good one where we can clearly see Kinna and Anneli on the deck of the house.

Here is a picture showing our house in relation to the beach:

And here is one showing the border of our property:

OhMyGosh! I finished a quilt:

When I ordered flannel for making cloth nappies, I somewhat overcatered … so I used the many leftovers for this quilt. The circles were great for using up the small pieces left over from cutting out nappies. Here is the back:

I was inspired and guided by this tutorial. Sewing the circles was kinda tedious, kinda fun. I think it would have been much more fun with more different fabrics – working with just two colours made the piecing a bit boring. I was a bit concerned about being able to quilt it in my little Brother PX-100, but it actually wasn’t too difficult. I don’t know how well she would cope with a grownup-sized quilt though.

Finally, here it is with the blurry little recipient:

Three years ago today, Linus dropped to one knee in a room at the Xian Garden Hotel in Xian, China.

Since then we’ve had a wedding (with two parties), a honeymoon, a major move and a baby! What an extraordinary three years!

It’s also my mother-in-law’s birthday today. Happy birthday Kinna!
