livingroom

I feel it's a long time I shared some pics of my livingroom, but it has been looking the same for many months now... (even the decor has been the same)... until some days ago. I suddently became restless :).


For me there's no cheaper or quicker way to give a room a new and fresh feeling but to move the furniture around a bit...


I love the intimicy of having the two sofas close together without a coffe table.
It works well for our family, but not so much for hosting bible study groups, etc... so I doubt I'll keep it very long.  But with the woodstove just on the other side it's very cozy as long as we lit a fire in the evenings (or all day, when it's really cold). 




This table is rarly used for eating, but very often for homework, playing games, drawing... I like to have an extra table in the livingroom.



The piano wall is still nearly the same.




As I type this I have my girl snuggling up to me, one of the boys is sitting across on the other sofa, reading... and three boys are outside. One just informed me there was a diaper to change...

Still winter or allready spring?


After our weekend in the snow I'm in the process of finding ski shoes for every member of our family. I found      one pair at our local goodwill. And there I saw some old wooden ski...


But I coudn't justfy to spent 100 NOK on something I did not really need. 
So I went home without buying them.
When I told one of my sons about it he informed me that we actually had two pair of old wooden ski on the garage loft. (they belong to my parents-in-law).


So for now it's still a little winter around here.

quiet on my blog

I know. Life is busy. Life is good and sometimes hard. This blog is just a tiny aspect of my life...


On Friday we had a birthday celebration for our little girl.
Some primulas and using what I had around the house...


Writing the guests names directly on the paper plates...


Adding a bow to the chair of the birthday child....


and reusing the garland I made for babyboys birthday last year, added a little party mood to the dining room.

Later that day we had a family party for both her and boy nr2 who turns eleven in February.


This boy makes me laughing!
