Haylie bought colored pencils on Friday night when we went to Ica Maxi to go pick up a package from Grandma and Grandpa. She spend a large part of the weekend nicely coloring My Little Pony pictures. I guess colored pencils were the secret to getting her to color. She is a perfectionist, so it is easier for her to stay in the lines with a smaller utensil.
We got some more done in the house this week. The plumbers installed the bathroom sink in our bathroom, and Rikard was here again and put up the shower wall and door.
The cabinets/sink are from Aspen. Unfortunately the hardware to hang up the cabinet on the right didn't come with it, so we have to wait until that arrives. Then it will also be off the floor like the sink is. They are both in walnut. We haven't picked out a light fixture for above the mirror yet.
Our shower is done except for a couple glass shelves on the inside of the pillar and the magnetic closing for the shower door. But it is usable.
The floor
The builders put up the cabinet on the right of the fan, and installed the drawer pulls for the kitchen and laundry room.
Lots of snow still. It just keeps snowing more without melting at all. That is uncommon for a winter on Gotland.
Stefan bought a bonsai tree. He is just the kind of person to have a detailed long-term project like that. Now he is reading up on bonsai trees on the net.
At the plant store, I bought bulbs and materials to make two plantings of spring bulbs, one for myself and one for our friend Eva for her birthday. This was Saturday afternoon.
This was Sunday morning. Now, Sunday evening, there are 6 mini daffodils that have bloomed, and 4 purple crocuses (croci?). I planted them in shallow zinc tubs and covered the dirt with pebbles. The pearl hyacinths have a way to go before they bloom, so hopefully they aren't all done at once.
Haylie picked out a butterfly for ours.
