Dieter doing a new puzzle from the Scandinavian festival. It's a map of Norway. |
We made these whole wheat chocolate chip cookies from the book Good to the Grain. I've heard raves about this recipe on various blogs but I find them to be "just okay." Have you tried it? |
I did a little "nature table freshen up" on Saturday when I was doing some cleaning. I am obsessed with the home grown roses right now. Roses are currently my favorite flower. |
This is up the street from my house and I often pass it on my walk. |
I ordered a new iPhone case and I loved this little card that came with it. It's currently on my inspiration clipboard at work. |
Another view of the nature table, a few days later. You can see that Rainer removed the sand dollar. It's his. He reclaimed it. |
More neighborhood roses. These were on my walk. |

I've not had much chance to look at your blog for a while as I had a baby on new years eve, a girl called Molly! However after recently getting an iPad i have spent many a happy hour catching up with what you have been up to and reading old posts while feeding my baby. I love your crafts and your home looks beautiful, I find the blog so inspirational. Best wishes, Natasha (i used to sign In as country girl.)
I love that nature table so much, I wish we had a good spot for one in our house! On the whole wheat chocolate chip cookies, I think the trick is to under bake them a little and to use (if possible) chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips. I use chopped bittersweet chocolate and it ends up with little tiny melty bits in every bite. (Of course, they are very best as dough, I think, when we have them I routinely eat an embarrassing amount of dough from the freezer. Mmmm. Makes me wish I wasn't off sugar for the month!)

Natasha (Country Girl)--yes, I totally remember you. Congrats on your new baby! Enjoy her--they grow up so so fast. And I'm so happy to hear that you've been enjoying the blog. Hooray!
Elizabeth--you are right. The recipe does call for chopped up chocolate. I should try that.
Oh thanks, it's nice to be remembered! Yes we're enjoying Molly, and her big brother Sam adores her too. I must get into blogging again, i have really enjoyed catching up on yours. It's always been my favourite. Have a lovely weekend. Natasha x
