Kirar
My husband has built an electric kirar (krar), also known as King Davids Harp in the Bible. It has been used for over 3000 years and people still play on this kind of instrument in East Africa.
He has never seen a kirar in real life, so it was a challenge, but it turned out very well! You can see a bigger picture at "all sizes" here.
It's an Eritrean guy in Gothenburg who ordered that kirar and he will get it at the FUZZ Guitar Show on Saturday.
Look at these wonderful girls: Tegadelti Bana Band from Eritrea; there you can see one of them play the kirar (electric).

A beautiful door
...and a fantastic house with an interesting history.
My friend E lives here, It's her parental home; she grew up in this cultural historical house.
Once every year they open up their home for the public and E and her family tells the story about the persons who once lived here.

I love to fika, too. We don't have many oldfashioned, traditional konditorier (coffee shops) left here in Örebro.
My favorite is Nya konditoriet, Engelbrektsgatan 20.
Recently I was told that they are changing owners and I wonder, what might that do?

Hello again!
I haven't had the time to sit by the computer...
Tea party at the teddies is an experiment; I wanted to crochet cups, cakes and a little teapot.
I'm busy making stuff to a little knitting exhibition at work and to crochet cakes to a shop in London, more about that later ;)
Congratulations to Hanna and her book!

Café Tutingen, est 1784
I was kidnapped by my workmates and transported to Askersund, an old little town in the south of our county.
There we had a wonderful birthday holiday with lots of fun. Some pictures at Flickr.
