not my creation

About a year ago, we went to visit my parents at their cottage. There was a lot of leftover wood & nails lying around, since the house had just been built. My boys (including my husband) went out with nothing but a hammer in their hands, picked up some of this wood and nails and decided to build a small chair (stool) for the boys.

The result was the most wonderful thing and shows so well, how much imagination and creativity my 3 carpenters have... it´s so amazing to see, what one can create with only a hammer, leftover wood&nails (they didn´t even have a saw!) And the best thing was that this action was an unforgettable experience for my boys.  Exactly those things are the aspects that make this stool so beautiful and perfect

Since we´ve been building a tall fence in our new garden, we have a lot of leftover wood lying around in our backyard and I´ve asked my husband to create some stools we can use at home together with the boys.

    This chair (stol in swedish, hih hih) is just absolutely beautiful! I have a dream; to build my own table to have outside on our balcony (not lucky to have an own garden yet...), which still is almost empty, even though we moved from our last apartment a year ago... Hope you are doing great!

    Greetings from the Swedish and Finnish talking Lilja ;)

      Thank you so much Lilja :-) You should really try building your own table... I´m sure you could do it - if my boys can do it, you can too! AND you can find almost any kind of instructions on youtube!

      I´m doing great, and still working on your beautiful hat. The problem is, I just started a new job and I´m always so tired when I finally get home. But I'm sure I´ll finish in the next few weeks - I´ll let you know.

      Have a wonderful day/evening!
