Finally it is weekend!

It is Friday evening and weekend has arrived. Morning started with work as usually and after that it was time to come home and make some preparations for the evening.
As it was, that in the beginning of the month I turned a year older, when
It was during work week and could not party much in the evening and so we had pizza and nice evening. We made agreement that this weekend we will have potato salad Instead, since that is one of the traditional birthday food in Estonia. So after our workday I went to shop and bought ingredients and salad making could start.

Must admit one thing. I love the Estonian potato salad compared with the traditional one here in Sweden. It tastes so different and misses so many ingredients.
Now in the evening we got visit also from our friends. They had even a present for me and for my iPhone what I did got a week ago. I got a docking station for my phone. And the best part is - I can now listen even Estonian radio stations and do not need only computer to listen radio :)
Now we having nice candlelight evening with my husband and soon it will be bed what is waiting me since tomorrow will be new day and plans.
Thank you all for nice evening and good presents :) I have had wonderful time!

Another pattern for Christmas napkin ring,

 

Today I sat behind my embroidery machine again and made some preparations for Christmas. I tried another pattern for Christmas napkin rings. They will make our Christmas table nicer as well I think.

SyFestivalen and Stockholm,

November has soon arrived to half a month and I just have not had much time to write into my blog. So, now I try to fix that thing, at least I will try.
Last weekend I and Kristi took a small trip to Stockholm. Like in the April, as well now in beginning of November was SyFestival - Sewing fair. This time only in Stockholm and we both liked it, when it was here, so we made decision - We will spend a weekend in Stockholm during 5 and 6th November.
I had booked us an hotel room in our visit to Stockholm.
Our morning started quite early and same time not very early. Around half past 7 I woke up and made myself ready for trip and an hour later I just left home to pick up Kristi as well. After that our trip towards Stockholm could start. Trip was long, but with small breaks and driver change - we managed it well.
First stop was Sewing fair. One thing we could see right a way, was that it was much bigger than it was here in Jönköping in the spring. I had got before fair also their catalog at home and made marks, what I would like to see and visit and Kristi looked it also on the road. The things what interested me the most, I had marked, but that did not mean that I did not want to see all the mess. When we saw how bit it was, I knew tight away that my moneybag will have funeral after that fair. There was so much interesting things. I bought some fabric and patterns and of course - embroidery patterns.  Can't live with out them :)
We spent there a lot of time, but it was quality time. We both at least felt so. An hour before fair was closed, we felt that now we are tired as well and decided to drive to hotel.
We spent our night at Scandic hotel in Kungens Kurva. Hotel was nice. Room was OK. At least for us, who needed that room just for sleep :) Of course, we as owners of cleaning company, was also look bit how clean room was, and we saw some dust, but we survived it ;)
Later in the evening we met with one more Estonian boy here in Sweden. We had dinner at Chinese restaurant. Food was good :) As usually, that is not something new :) Later we drank some more wine at the hotel and since day had been long and made us bit tired, when we decided to go to sleep just before midnight. At least we had good time and we was very satisfied.

A year older,

Today has been a day, when I got a year older. Hufff, just remembered how it was to be in kindergarten and now, years later we have our own company, married and so on and on. Time just flies and just can't understand where it goes.

It has been wonderful day for me. Morning started with birthday cake in bed with coffee and juice. Even a nice present I got from my husband. A calligraphy pencils. Now, I just need ink and ready to use :)

After breakfast it was time for work. Met my dear colleague in city and we enjoyed a nice breakfast together, since cake was only breakfast I got in the morning, so, breakfast in Bernard's and after that it was work what was needed to be done.

Now in the evening I spent time with my husband and sat bit behind my embroidery machine. Later got visit from my colleagues and had bit pizza and wine. Soon it is time for me to go to bed, since tomorrow will be another work day and after that quite busy weekend will arrive :) Time for us to visit a SyFestival in Stockholm :)

Thank you all my dear friends and family, who have made my day. It has been wonderful with all your birthday wishes.
Sleep well and good night.
