Today, we went to Vällingby to buy a horse trailer. Incredible. Two weeks ago, we didn't even own a car. But, relying on public transport doesn't work when you have animals, especially sheep. This one is not exactly a luxury item, but it will work for transporting the sheep back and forth between pastures.
Yesterday, there was a crafts day at the heritage center where people interested in textile crafts were welcome. I participated by spinning wool on a drop spindle and spinning wheel. Others demonstrated flax processing, nalbinding, lace making, and weaving. It turned out very well. We were there from 12 to 4 PM, and during that time, both children and adults came by to learn or try out the crafts. It really had a Skansen vibe!
Here it is!
