I visited the most amazing fabric store the other day: Skroten, highly recommended for anyone within driving distance. It's huge! Lots of cheap and unexciting fabrics of course, but also the most amazing quilting section - and very cheap, at least by Swedish standards. I came away with this bundle:

These fabrics are a perfect sample of the color scheme in our living room, and they are going to become a warm and cozy lap quilt to snuggle under when the the rain pours outside. Did I tell you that Gothenburg gets the rainiest winters on the entire continent? Because it does. Or at least it feels like it... When we were done at the fabric store (which took a while, needless to say) we passed by a shoe store where I got a pair of really neat rubber boots, which will be keeping my feet dry September through February at least:

I took them for a test walk today and they are incredibly comfortable. I am now officially ready for fall!

Last of all my purchases is this pretty postcard, talk about old school embroidery!
