I think I've mentioned before, my mothers day gift this year was yard work. I definitely got my "money's worth" out of that gift.

I pitched in a little when we were shoveling and spreading the rock and choosing plants, but that is about all I did. We have been enjoying the new garden all summer. It was really hard to get a good picture of the garden, I may have to go to the upstairs deck to get a full picture.

So we are able to use it even in the winter.
(Dalarna is in th middle/north of Sweden. To me and Jenny it’s north but Sweden is a very tall country so I guess we are not even in the middle). Anyway it’s great cause I have the time and space to do lots of DIY projects. First we used a huge baloon that I bought at a party store. Then you collect all the old Dollys (?) Paint them with lots of wallpaper glue so they are soaked. Hang the ballon on a string and put the soaked lace on the baloon. Then wait for a while. Pop the baloon when the glue is dry.
