Holiday plans

I got a lot done yesterday, and I also got two pendants with stones almost done. Still working on those a bit today... I'm glad I kicked myself into practicing this technique a bit more, because how else would I learn and eventually graduate to using the really beautiful stones??


On August 23rd we're going to Sweden, staying there for two weeks. It's good to have some sort of plan for such a visit, because otherwise you'll end up having had a nice time, and only having done half of the things you wanted to do...!

These are a few of the things on my wish list for those two weeks:

• If there still are blueberries and chanterelles in the forest, I want to go out and pick some. Unfortunately people have been sharing pictures of how much they've already picked, so I'm afraid that the season may have passed when we get there. There will be new opportunities next year!
  
  
• I want to look for yarn and knitting needles.
  
  
• I'm looking at making a photo album for the baby. One of my sisters is really into scrap booking (and good at it!), so I'd like to see if she'd be willing to help me start on a very simple looking album.
  
  
• I want to go climbing.
  
  
• I want to see how much an Ergo Baby Carrier would cost to buy in Sweden, and if it's really as good as you hear it is.
  
  
• I want to go to the grocery store. Definitely need to buy remoulade!! We had that (together with fresh onions, dried onions, mustard and ketchup) on hot dogs when we were in Iceland, and that was sooo good. But they don't sell that type of sauce here. :(
