I find it funny how the days before vacaion suddenly every small part of the home seem important – like I wanted to clean the attic, sew some stuff I’ve had piled up forever, fixing the locks to our cupboards.
And the list goes on and on…

One thing which I don’t know why I havn’t been going at earlier is all my sewing stuff. For more than 6 years I kept it in plastic bags trown around the appartment.
It has been taking hours to find a little needle. Or actually I knew where everything was in the way you do when you have an order in the chaos around you. (If you know what I mean?)

Anyway, now I bought some big plasic boxes with small compartments from Granit an suddenly I got so much more space and I feel like a perfect little girl scout!

The funy thing is that Beppe really started to crawl. Man did he get turn up the speed when looking at box with all the treads.
Best toy ever.
But heey don’t play with mommys things, little one!

I am pretty sure that my grandmother´s house did not hold as many toys as mine does.
And now that the house is nice and clean I wanted to look into what kind of things Viola needs storage for in her room.

Costumes! Viola loves to play with them and I love to buy them, therefor we have quite a few.
She has one big container that holds a lot, but unfortunately mixing  it all will lead to some of it getting ruined.
Like shoes and wigs. Not a good mix. And the nice dresses should be on a hanger.

I emailed Elisabeth over at the Swedish webshop  www.anyhow.se and she told me about two products in her shop that might be what I was looking for.
She was nice enough to send me a sample.
First a hanger in the shape of one big circle and it was perfect for the dresses. We will keep one in our livingroom cause it looks so nice.

And second: a fabric bag with print for wigs and hats and such. This made me think of all the bags Viola has in her room. I gathered them, filled them and hung them together with the one she sent me.

Now the only thing missing was something for Viola´s dress-up shoes.
I tried to fit them in a box that I got last Christmas. And it was perfect.

All set for make believe.

PS: Anyhow.se is offering free shipping this weekend inside Sweden!

One would think that the reward should come on Friday when you are done with everything. But I can not wait that long.  Some of you might already have guessed what the reward is.

FLOWERS of course! Bring as many as you can into your home. After a long and cold winter this is exactly what my heart desires. Buy them or pick them just as long as you have them.

Just look at that promiscuous Magnolia ready to burst. Lovely. Or those very rare Manbuds below, they make me happy.
