Ikea etc

We got it into our heads that we'd like a round area rug to go in front of the fireplace for cozy floor lounging, and we found the perfect one at (where else?) Ikea. It's really the only place to go if you need a rug, want some new picture frames, or crave lingonberry jam. Or maybe you just want to ride around in a warehouse. So go nuts. Get your farfegnugen on.The rug was put to use right away, in a new hotel that sprung up in our front room.But, sadly, we can't get the thing to sit flat, so we're going to return it. It's defective. :( How do you say, "defective" in Swedish?

But it made a nice hotel rug for a day, and let me just say how thrilled I was that this hotel game kept the kids so occupied that I had time to make some new jammies for the Kevster.
And, wouldn't you know it, my stocking is almost ready to be hung by the chimney with care.
Every single person who celebrates Christmas should have a whole week off beforehand to do silly things like sew pajamas for dolls. It should be the law.
