Spring spring

Yeah the spring cleaning is in process. In the garden mainly, who wants to be inside when the sun is shining? Time is sign up for our courses learning to make concrete for the garden out in Odensala.

April

Finally the weather is spring like. That means sun one minute and rain or snow the next. Time to throw out the Christmas flowers and in with the spring ones. Getting things ready for our display at Herresta.

Glad Påsk!

I realize that there is no way I'm going to do any more updating before Easter so, Happy Easter! This is on the deck at Vätö and hopefully will not blow away(probably just get rained on) Heart table and vase/candle holder in concrete. I realize that even with a good camera it is not that easy to take good pictures!

Spring cleaning!

We have green grass at Vätö! Last year or maybe two years ago there was so much snow we had to really shovel away.

Cleaning out bushes and leaves at Vätö and skraped off old leaves from the first step to the patio. I put that stepping stone there 4 years ago! Needs some new paint. The smell of spring is in the year and really excited about gardening.(As always this time of the year and then when the weather really gets nice there's too much other fun stuff to do and not much happens on the gardening front...........)

"vinter studio"

Like I said the guest room will never be the same! My sister said now you have a winter studio but it is impossible to work there! It is on my list to tidy up of course but what to do? I need all the molds at one time or another. I save other plastic forms for our courses out at Herresta, which will be in May. Dates have been set for the 10,11, 17 and 18th of May! And the 17th is already full! (a strange way for Norwegians to celebrate their indepence day!)

betong blom bord

I forgot to put in a picture of the table by itself. It is made of concrete of course! I was thinking of making another little ducky today but I have such a bad cold, can't think of doing anything. Don't have any energy at all. Time for another cup of tea.

OK, I know that I'm not been doing this blog as often as I should but it has been too depressing to even think about writing. January blues have continued on into February. Today is a super nice day and we see the SUN! How about that, and the days are getting lighter even if it still seems a long time until spring. I even took my concrete duck out for a sunbath! It feels nice and peaceful with just one kid home and that one is only into "wow", so it is quiet! ET is at volleyball as usual and MT at bandy.

The ducky is a new table I made(ok, the guest room will never be the same again, so any guests that come to visit will have to stay out at Vätö)

Here we can sit and wait for spring! It has rained so much here in the Stockholm area, the mushrooms are really growing. This is the warmest winter on record since they started keeping track of stuff like that instead of just talking about it.(over 250 years!)
