MY BRIGHT FRIDAY

This is the first year I’ve started Christmas in November. I’ve hardly started Christmas even in December, I tell you. Suddenly I surprised myself making ginger bread dough late Thursday night, just like that. For the first time in my life!! Yes, I’ve bought the dough from the shop earlier, I admit. It was like there was no other way. But this time I smelled every spice before I put in the pot, and I enjoyed every second. Meditation. And I’ve never tasted such good ginger breads, if I’m allowed to say so. They’re soft, not dry and crispy ones. I like that.

My daughter’s school had Friday off this week, so we made ourselves a very good day. Ginger bread, reading, painting and drawing. That’s all we needed. Well, I thought we needed a walk in the woods to, but she didn’t agree. So we skipped that one. I just had a discussion with myself whether to say what I think of screen time, iPad, phones, social media etc etc when it comes to really young people, and I decided I’m not to discuss that in here 😉

So, we did not have a black Friday! I did click something home though, with no sale label attached to it. It carries the name “you are my shining star”, and it’s a gift. From me to… moi! Because I’ve made some big (read: small, but still…) steps forward this last couple of weeks, and I feel good about it. I want to celebrate and keep reminding myself what I’m capable of by having this gorgeousness hanging around my neck. It will be my cosmic egg. More about that later…

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
