I am so amazed how far we have come from last year with our Lundsätter house. Second floor on our part, patio, finnished work outside on the fasade etc etc. Now it really is starting to look organized ans great out here.

After these jobs are done we will enjoy the fact that we dont need to rush to do anything major on the house this year apart from painting on the back.

Funny how you get use to something that I from the beginning thought was so stupid and old fashion. When I was playing around with my Cricut I also figured out how to transfer my wine ladies into svg file which is needed so the machine can cut out my illustrations. I did a test with iron on transfer vinyl. I made the
