Yesterday I got SO many awesome gifts. Probably by now some of you already know I loooooove homemade. I love eatable, sustainable, handmade .... my people probably know this too ... so for my birthday they had really poured their hearts in and made me some wonderful gifts. No1 of course: the gift of love - the gift of being together, sitting around the table, talking, laughing and sharing good food. They made me the cutest breakfast - my man took me on a perfect lunch date and in the evening they created the best dinner&cake. I feel so blessed. 💕 I got these super yummy biscotti from my daughter Sol, that I'll serve you the recipe today. These are soooo good and are perfect along with a cup of tea or coffee. I got so many good ...
Rhubarb&strawberry sherbet
Yes, I admit I'm a ice cream lover.... or maybe more like a sherbet lover. The fruity, fresh, tasty, real taste and smooth texture are perfect for dessert all year but in the summer I think I could live of ice cream and sherbet only.... ok, and some fruits and berries ... and fresh veggies .. and... I also have this love for rhubarb. It makes me super happy when the strange large leaves and the super sour and tangy stalks appear in my garden. I kinda feel like I want to wear the leaves as a hat and run into the kitchen to find a cup of sugar like I did when I was 5. So, because I love homemade berry-fresh sherbet - and because it's my birthday tomorrow I think I'll serve you one of my all time favourite homemade sherbets made of ...
Crochet daisy head band
Finally it came some rain in Oslo today. The nature, trees, plants, flowers were all dry and need the life giving water now. So - we smile even if it pours down. Besides I love the smell of summer rain and the freshness it brings. The rain didn't stay for long and soon the sun were back making all the raindrops twinkle like little jewels. I've used the day making this super cute, hippie, daisy head band. I've written the instructions in Norwegian and English so nobody will miss out. This time the Norwegian instruction is first, so you'll have to scroll down for English. Today it turned out my beautiful girl, Sol, (her name actually means sun ☀ or sunshine in Norwegian) had dressed up perfectly for the new headband and ...
Cheers to the weekend
Happy Saturday. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Lucky me was invited to garden party over at some neighbors yesterday. The summer is the best time for gathering and enjoying the light Scandinavian summer nights, friends, drinks, good food, laughter and conversations. As I'm a mother I really enjoy parties with room for children, teens, adults and people of all ages. I love the laughter, the playfulness and the laid back feel of garden/summer-parties. Today I want to serve you some cool summer drinks suitable for party people of all ages. Strawberry-rasberry-lime lemonade Juice from 3 freshly squeezed limes 100-150 ml sugar 100-150 ml frozen raspberries 7 strawberries 500 ml water.Add all the ingredients to a blender and mix ...
Glitter girl solid perfume
I got this awesome Idea on instagram today and just had to do my own take on glittery solid perfume. It's summer, it's weekend it's perfect timing for this wonderful, natural, homemade perfume-glittery-cream. 1. The perfume is made of 100% natural, nontoxic, pure essential oils. 2. It won't vanish into the air so quickly (like store bought perfumes made of alcohol and synthetic fragrances) because we use heavy oils and beeswax as carrier oils, and these will sit on your skin and hold onto the scent of the essential oils added. 3. Natural glitter added to make your skin summery, glittery, beautiful. This will suit your tan perfectly and natural. I whipped up this solid glittery perfume in minutes, using only things I had on hand. ...

Yummy stinging Nettle chips
Ok, you might think I've gone crazy today, talking about the most yummy chips I've ever made - stinging nettle chips - no, they won't sting when you eat them! No worries! The only thing that will happen is that you'll regret you didn't make double dose. Yes, it's true, you can use these wild, unwanted nettle plants to make food. Usually I use nettles for soup, sautéed or as a cleansing tea together with peppermint. But today I'll talk about the nettle chips. I got the idea after I tasted some kale chips. It was tastier than expected and I thought nettle should be very suitable for making chips. I also wanted to use the nettle chips as a fun topping on the green pea& herb vegan soup I made at the cafe. And yes it worked ...
Sommerslabberas
Venner med det fancy navnet VikingWagons og det ikke fullt så tøffe imaget man skulle tro gutter (og jenter) med oljesvarte fingre og gamle biler som hobby, inviterte til sommerens koseligste folkevogn-slabberas på tunet. Heldig var jeg som fikk være med. :) Helgen kunne by på både cruising gjennom Kongsberg, bading (opptil flere ganger) og tur i sølvgruvene (uten bil), men med hjelm. :) De av dere som ikke er intressert i biler - dere får bare holde ut ... her på bloggen min finner du biter av alle mine lidenskaper. ;-) Her er mitt galleri fra helgen for de som liker å kikke på bilder av vintage folkevogner og glade folkevogn-førere.

Garden love
Today I found the very first ripe, red strawberry in my garden this summer - what could ever make this day any better? The feeling of success, happiness and utter joy when the plants you've grown and carefully watered bring you their scencere thanks giving fruits you can eat and enjoy. So, in order of this event i thought i should just give you a little glimpse into one of my passions and joys; pieces of my garden. Being outdoors is my kind of recharge, fuel up and feel alive and whole. BC of my previous illness the last three years I haven't been able to do much gardening or growing so this year, when I finally have found my way and the energy to do a little bit of garden passion it feels special and precious. Now you might ...
Plastic free Vegetable net
Do you love fresh fruits and vegetables even more in the summer? Me too! I love going to the fruit market and pick mangoes, peaches, melon, apples.... all kinds of fresh fruit. What I really like about the vegetable / fruit market is that most of the fruits and veggies are not wrapped in plastic. But then, when we pick the fruit we're about to buy we put it in little plastic bags ... to reduce the use of plastic I decided I wanted to make some nets to use when I'm shopping for fruits and veggies that are easy to bring along in a handbag. So I decided to use some of my spare cotton yarn and crochet a veggie net. I'll share the crochet recipe for my net in English and Norwegian. Along my way I realised more people are thinking the same ...
