In 2011 I wrote also about the roses in Morocco. But with this cold that is still present I can use some summer inspiration. These beautiful photos give me a happy feeling. A few years ago when I b…

Your birth flower holds symbolic meaning that might just match your personality.
Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming in the fragrant vernal days is the lily-of-the-valley with its soft, retiring ways. Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872 - 1906)
No one is sure how roses came to this corner of Morocco, but the M’Goun Valley – or the Vallée des Roses, as it’s known here – is famous for its flowers.
First of all THANK YOU for all your supportive comments on my last post. Unfortunately the situation was the kind where there were no good solution to find so the best one was to find new homes for the pups and we did. Monday. After all we can a only blame ourselves for not reading the contract properly before we decided on getting puppies and we can only blame ourselves for not asking the land lady for permission before we actually brought the dogs home. Sure, I have been angry, wanting to leave and all that, but the fact is she has a dog phobia. I mean PHOBIA. She scrunches up only to the word dog and would probably die of a heart attack if she knew she had dogs next door 24/7. So, we are moving on. With crushed hearts. Life continues and we love our house and our garden. We don't really want to move so maybe we will just put this puppy thing on hold for a couple of years to see what life has to unfold. But really. Thank you so much for all kind words and shared emotions of devastation. Thank you! We are hanging in there. So, moving on. I am getting inspired by Swedish traditional folk art - kurbits. This type of decorative painting was very popular in Dalarna in the middle of Sweden during mid 1700s to mid 1800s. I have had this idea about making a Swedish folk art quilt (one of my first ideas even before I made my first quilt) and I am now collecting fabric and ideas for it. It will probably be a bit of an applique project and take forever but the plan is to have it as a piece of art hanging in the living room above our sofa. I am still far from starting this project but just indulging i fantastic pictures of kurbits makes my Swedish heart pound fast of joy. I really, truly love this type of art. The above photo is from the blog Glorious Applique. It is not really kurbits (or on second thought I guess it is kurbits...) but still a fantastic piece of art. Absolutely stunning applique work. So lets indulge in crazy kurbits! I found these at Mocklis. So cool! This cool skateboard is designed by Mattias Norström at Moustache ape. Kurbits decorated modern clogs from Åsa Westlund. Traditional Dala horses made in Nusnäs. A typical Swedish souvenir. A more modern kurbits twist on the Dala horse. Beautiful banner for a fun Swedish blog about the art of kurbits, named Kurbits. Kurbits decorated clogs from Clogs 4U. Modern kurbits art form Los Formos. Old-fashion kurbits art. I hope you enjoy this art as much as I do and I wish you all a good night. Now I am off to bed. Kärlek Annette

by Jennifer Poindexter Let’s be realistic. If you live in a colder climate, you probably don’t want to dig around outside, in the cold to add a little color to your yard. But by planting perennials, you can avoid the whole planting process! Plant cold-tolerant perennial flowers once, and they’ll return year after year. If […]
