I have missed you all! Let me catch you up on all the shenanigans I’ve been up to… Yes I’m still cooking… I’m still tending to my chickens…. (In fact I have a ton more now!) And I went back to creating

Busy start for the year with work and just trying to survive until spring. We have a big work trip coming up next month and I’m in charge of it as the only female brain at work. Everyone knows women are

-28°Celsius and thriving! Be it masochism or something else, I’m a sucker for the extreme below freezing temperatures. There is just something so alluring about the cold and crisp air that can seriously

Vising the old Lang Trade House, turned into a cafe and boutique hotel in Raahe is the highlight of my Christmas holiday! As a lover of old wooden houses and owning one myself, I’m always interested in

May your table be full of all the delicious foods and drinks, both savoury and sweet! Fuel up your body with nutrients and sleep to start the next year strong.

Christmas is approaching fast and like every year, I'm scrambling to figure out the gift situation. We do focus on food and relaxation with both sides of the family but one must not turn up completely

A confession: I have knitted hundreds of socks in my lifetime and they have ALL essentially had the same construction; top down and a flap and gusset heel. It was high time I learn other ways. I saw these

Going for a nice walk in the sunny and crisp -15°C weather before heading back north. The doge was also long overdue for a forest outing so we chucked on a GPS collar and let it loose. It must have been

We drove down to my home home for the weekend and the skies really delivered some magic one evening. We were chatting with the family and drinking wine inside when dad said there are faint northern lights

Winter wonderland weather came early this year, and what a treat it is. Often there is on/off snow and frost for months on end with gloomy wet autumn weather in between, but this year the frost came early

Hi, hey, you haven’t seen my mug in a while so here it is! I’m using the word ’renovation’ very loosely here since all I’ve yet to do it demolition… Feels like moving in quicksand with this project but

Finally a little update on the room I demolished over a month ago! I decided now was a good time to start painting the floor, even though it might make more sense to work from top down. My keywords for

This is now a renovation blog, get with the program. Hello next victim! For months now, every time I’d go take a shower downstairs, I looked at these few tiles and thought I need to fix them before they

I’m a neutral gal when it comes to clothing but I could not resist this grey based yarn with hundreds of vibrant coloured bits. As soon as I saw this Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy yarn, I ordered it without knowing

”Wow, that’s so big and hard!” Almost two years living in this house and this is the first time we are seeing the actual timber frame. And oh boy was it worth the wait! When I started peeling back the

I’m continuing from where I left off in the previous post, to a completely different direction than intented. I had just taken off the ceiling panels and was going to just do cleanup and prep for the

I’m really good at breaking shit. And I like it, muahhahahaha. My current home project is working on the junk/craft/storage room. I already took off the ugly ass laminate fake wood flooring a year ago

Blue is my favourite colour but it doesn't show up much in my clothing or interior design choices. I bought an antique dresser that had a thick coat of cracking white paint, and I decided to have some

…and you know what that means; knitting! As soon as the weather starts getting colder, I get the urge to start knitting again, happens every year. As I’m waiting for more paint to arrive for my latest
