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.
