Signe











Oooh. It´s been such a long time. I´ve been totally engrossed by motherhood. 4 months have passed, hours and days just flies. Now we are planning her big party, she´s getting baptized on sunday. I´m doing what I can best, planning the decorations. Luckily I have lots of family who love baking, and makes wonderful cakes. As you see there will be pompoms and streamers, candy and straws. I plan on making many pompoms, we´ll see how many my patience can take.I´ve also put black dots(stickers)on the candles. 

Her name is Signe. She´s named after my grandmother, and I have thought of that name for a long time. It´s a norse name, and it means new victory. I couldn´t think of anything else to fit her better. She´s a victory. A gift. So precious. So dear. 

I received such a lovely card from my friend Lahra when Signe was borne. I cry every time I read it. Or listen to the song by Bo Kaspers. This is the text. (sorry all foreign readers) 

Hvilket namn ska vi ropa
nÃĪr du sprungit nÃĨgonstans
och gÃķmt dig?
Efter vem ska vi leta?
Och vem ska vi trÃķsta
nÃĪr du trott att vi
har gÃĨtt och glÃķmt dig?
Vad ska du heta?

Vilket namn ska de sÃĪga
nÃĪr du rÃĪcker upp handen?
Vad stÃĨr det pÃĨ den fÃķrsta boken du fÃĨr?
Efter vem ska vi frÃĨga
nÃĪr vi ringer hem dig?
Vad stÃĨr det pÃĨ kakan nÃĪr du fyller ÃĨr?
Vad ska du heta?

Vilket namn ska de viska i tonÃĨrsnatten
nÃĪr din fÃķrsta kÃĪrlek ligger bredvid?
NÃĪr det fÃķrsta
sveket river i kroppen,
vems tÃĨrar faller i ultrarapid?

Vad ska vi skriva pÃĨ breven vi skickar
till adresser som rÃķr sig runt hela vÃĪrlden?
Och vem tar emot
vÃĨra lÃĨngvÃĪga kyssar?
Vilket namn fÃķljer med dig pÃĨ fÃĪrden?
Vad ska du heta?

PÃĨskeslutt







I´ve had a nice easter with my little family. Slow days for me, lots of snow for my man to remove. No skiing. Just eating. And when the rest of you are ready for spring, we have got about 1-2 meters of snow up here. Oh yeah.

PÃĨskesnadder







All of a sudden easter is here. I am just showing you some old pictures from last year, because I only take baby pictures at the moment. Funny what happens when you become a mum. Maybe I´ll get to show you my project for this easter if I manage to make it. We´ll see. Hope you´re enjoying the first week- end of easter. 
(Yes I know it´s almost a week to go, but teachers and folks on maternity leave start easter early).

PÃĨskereprise










I like traditions. But this year I didn´t arrange our usual easter work shop. We´ve been decorating eggs using napkins and paint. So if you want some ideas for easter decorations, here are some of the eggs from last year. Now we´ll just wait for the easter bunny to some fill them. Or wait, I just did. And we´ve already started eating the snack. Happy easter!
