Where did April go?

My Lady's mantle that I brought with me from my old flat is growing again :)

The old carpenterdesk moved out from the garage and became my plating table :)

Our little house in early April, before all the trees started getting leaves.

the ferns are peaking

the plants I had ordered from Horto Green arrived in a big box :)

and my long awaited red dogwood hedge was ready to be planted!!

All done :)

Easter came and I made a cake with inspiration from a baking group on facebook. My goodness, I just wanna bake every day from seeing what everyone else does, haha!

And to celebrate that the boyfriend and I had some days off together I made a smörgåstårta (sandwich layer cake)

I made some concrete stepping stones for the flower beds

a woodpecker came to visit :)

Good Friday was first spent celebrating my sisters birthday and after that we went to Hovs Hallar to have a walk down by the cliffs

the tulips bloomed

and what we think is a cherry tree was pretty

we finally got around to paint the panel the carpenters put up last year when we had the new windows put in

seeds have been sown

In the choir I sing in we have four parts, soprano 1 and 2 and alto 1 and 2, and I sing in alto 2 together with 10 very lovley ladies and every year we try to get together a few times outside of the choir practises to just spend some time together and talk and have fun. Just after easter we visited Inger in Skogaby and had a walk around the surroundings of her house. 

Skogabysjön

I made a bug hotel and am still looking forward to welcoming  some guests. I've tried to make it bumblebee friendly :)

Some of the hottest days of this year was measured and it was nice to sit outside for breakfast, lunch and dinner :)

The neighbours cherry tree is in full bloom

The ground elder had taken over the ferns as well and I couldn't bare to see it.

So I cleaned it up :P

Apple tree blossom :)

And we finally got around to booking a trip we've talked about for ages now :)

Alchemilla mollis on the wall

more recovery wallpaper was put up 

the boyfriend and his brother put up our photowall of a Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla mollis) that I'd taken earlier this summer

and it turned out great!! (but please imagine a wooden floor there instead, it's not laid yet since the carpenters are not done yet in out house and we don't want them to scratch it

the electrician has been busy in the bathroom 

Amazing how they can get it all together in the end with walls and wires and pipes 

then the plumber came and took care of the water pipes 

and floor heating was put in   

and dry walls were put up  

and my sister and I fought off some mildew in the washing room with vinegar (hence the mouth covers) and now things are starting to look brighter in there as well. Just gonna get some white paint on the walls in there and it will be a room fit for drying clothes once more.
