366: Day 324-330

Mini and Bonus like to sit on (and walk all over) my desk which means I constantly have to wipe it so my mouse doesn’t get a sandy path.

 

I love little surprises. I ordered something at a place and this little green (perfect!) dino came along with my order.

 

Min doing her thing. She still loves her “gym” and also likes to spread out, chew and tear my magazines.

 

Disco!

 

When available both Wille and I love sunflower seed sprouts. So crispy and not at all bitter like some sprouts can be. The best way to keep them is in a bowl of water in the fridge.

 

Sanna and I went to the Christmas Market in Gamla Stan again. We both decided that someday we WILL live there in one of those narrow cobbled streets. And I think Anne’s game too!

 

Lazy Sunday morning reading magazines, watching TV and doing push-ups during the commercial breaks.

That was week 47. Only five more to go!

I have a similar tiny green dino on my desk at work! I love Stockholm Old Town, when I visited I went there every day just to walk around and admire.

[Anne]

Oh You can so count me in concerning the old town prospect. We could all live in walking distance - and take turns to host wine-drinking-talking-evenings. Sweat dream.

Mr. Dinosaur made me laugh out loud! What a cute surprise :)

And I agree 100% about Gamla Stan. I'm in no way a city person but when we're there I just walk around imagining how cool it would be to live in one of those gorgeous buildings along the cobbled streets.

Sunflower seed sprouts as a midnight snack ;-) (0:06, 31 on the clock).
I like your Old Town, looks a bit like ours (Warsaw). A nice Sunday shot of domesticity.

[Carlos]

Actually that's a timer. Six minutes until Wille' rice was done :)

[tinajo]

Nice pics, love your disco ball! :-D

[Rose]

I love the last view of your living room. It's an angle we don't seem to see often.

Love a good disco ball. That picture of Gamla stan is awesome. I have never been there, but it has the same vibe that I love about some parts of Copenhagen :)

[Michelle of Montreal]

That is the most fabulous photo of Anne (?) and Gamla Stan. I can't believe another year is almost over though. I've been loving the 366 project.

[Carlos]

That's Sanna :)
And yes, only another few weeks to go! I'll prodably do a project next year too but maybe not a daily photo. Perhaps a weekly collage?

Wonderful post! I find these days that I'm going straight to CHEZLARSSON.COM after I finish my online obligations. It's very restful and inspiring--and not at all related to the end of civilization or the planet. Love the disco ball! Wish I had one! There must be one for sale somewhere in this huge metro area! I've been thinking of music for my birthday open house, and I used to have this pink record from the 1980s: "Baby I'm Burnin'," disco version, by Dolly Parton. I'm laughing as I type this. What a gas that would be with the disco ball turning!!

Why is there a pretzel hanging on what looks like a pipe in Gamla Stan?!

[Carlos]

There's a café in that building so it's an advertising sign :)

[Lisa Flaherty]

Lovely! I have urban-living dreams, and Gamla Stan looks wonderful. I enjoyed your post last year about the Christmas Market, and wondered if you would be going again this year. :)

[Mickey@EuroAmerican Home]

What could you have possibly ordered to get a miniature dinosaur? :)

Also, neat pretzel there!

[Carlos]

I ordered a photo gadget at Photojojo so it was totally unexpected :)

[Mickey@EuroAmerican Home]

Ok, curiosity satisfied.

[Marcia M]

LOL, who is doing the push-ups? Mini & Bonus?

[Libris]

Hi, Benita!

I have been reading your blog for about half ayear now and Inreally enjoy the way of life you deliver: it has got me to appreciate my own home in a new way- and to learn to feel comfortable just at home : )

My I ask about the grey sweater you have in some photos; what brand is it? I am looking for a sweater to wear at home but cannot find appropriate: thick enough, maybe with lycra, and the colour should be gray.

Nice christmas waiting time for you and your son!

[Carlos]

Ah, could you be a little bit moe specific? Which post did you see it in? My wardrobe consists of nothing but but grey (and black...) sweaters :)

[Carlos]

Haha, they're actually looking at me wondering what I'm doing on the floor :)

[jja]

I adore Gamla Stan!

[Claire/Just a little less]

Dinos and disco balls rock :) Have a great week xo

[Libris]

Hej,
I meant the sweater for example on November 20 and the pullover/tunic on September 20. Your gray shades suit you so well : )

[Libris]

Oh sorry, it was on September 25 photo.

[Hanna]

Hi, I love the postage stamp print in the last photo! Where did it come from?

[Carlos]

It's a vintage find http://chezlarsson.com/myblog/2012/09/sverige-5-re.html I also have a red one för double the postage, 10 öre :).

Great Idea with push ups (or sit ups) during commercial breaks. I will start practicing it my self.
