Text of the page (random words):
something that pleases your eye or inspires you in your own artistic expressions perhaps that sounded big headed of me to think that i could offer all of the above well it is perhaps a wish more than a belief and with that i think i may just have described the reason i am blogging however this is not to say that we can t combine the two balancing bonkers with beauty and work for a better world in any way we feel we can and on the topic of bloggable blue beauties the image above and the two below are recycled images from a few of my previous blog posts of bloggable bluebells from the rougher untidier or wilder looks pic above and second of the two below to a slightly more sophisticated setting in the first photo below i love them all sweet sweet little blue friends the last photo above was snapped with my phone a few weeks ago when i stumbled upon one of uks many many bluebell forests and no you are not drunk the photo was taken on a slope i believe my squeals of bluebell delight are still echoing between the trees wishing you peace in every form helena x bonkers is british english for crazy or here madness posted by helena the swenglish home 14 comments labels flowers hand made wednesday 26 april 2017 green meditation in recent years i have seen an increasing number of colouring books for grown ups pop up in book stores everywhere they are often designed to offer a form of meditative anti stress art therapy or mindfulness and often contain different mandala shapes for you to colour in i completely see how they could offer all of the above but have personally not been drawn to them however when i recently stumbled upon stunningly creative hanna wendelbo click on her name for link to her website and here for a link to her instagram account a swedish designer with a passion for all things floral and who among other things designs beautiful wallpaper and offers workshops in what i would call floral art something clicked in me and i could not wait to experiment a little myself a large black sheet of paper a few leaves and buds snippety snipped from my garden and i found myself absorbed in meditative petal positioning and a wonderfully symmetrical adventure that is right up my street these first attempts are perhaps not so advanced or elaborate but the marvellous thing about creating something for yourself is that it does not need to be advanced or elaborate it can be what you would like it to be i already have ideas for many other patterns and petals and with any luck i will find the time for some more green meditation i will finish this blog post with one of hanna wendelbo s photos of one of her amazing flower art creations for some reason this photo has really stuck with me and i find these gerbera petal angel wings so breathtakingly beautiful image shown with hanna s approval so dear friends go on pick some petals and try for yourselves but a small warning might be appropriate here i cannot guarantee that you will not become slightly addicted once you start love helena ps i just saw that another hugely talented and creative designer and influencer helena lyth recently attended and wrote about one of hanna s workshops on her blog where she also shows some of her own beautiful flower mandalas ps 2 thank you so much for your kind words on my last blog post and for welcoming me back so generously to the blog world despite my long absence posted by helena the swenglish home 10 comments labels flowers hand made friday 21 april 2017 pretty in pink dear readers greetings from a dormant blog it has been a while a very long while having just spent a snowy easter in sweden it was rather lovely to come back to a very pink world in our small town in the uk eager to enjoy the floral fiesta before the petals fall to the ground i walked down to the local cricket field stroking the soft fluffy cherry blossoms as i walked underneath them spotting at least two benches where i could see myself with a picnic basket with a head so full of craft ideas and a heart full of blog longing i would love to take a few trembling steps back into the blog world life tends to demand my attention to be directed elsewhere but i might just try a gentle re entry baby steps wishing you all a colourful day love helena posted by helena the swenglish home 28 comments labels flowers uk wednesday 5 november 2014 a sneak peak dearest blog readers a quick hello from the land of dormant blogs thank you so much for all of your lovely greetings both here and in emails you have really touched me with your kindness many of you have also asked to see the inside of my new home so perhaps it is time for a little sneak peak yes there is an inside to this little cottage a work in progress you might say an interior that is yet to be helenafied or swenglified for this i need a creative mind to outwit the challenges of compact living a eureka moment about how to live with carpets e v e r y w h e r e and the time and the head space to realise the ideas as they come to me but i think i might get there in the end even if slowly the potential is there the good vibes the friendly house elfs together we will create home the walls look a strange shade of greeny yellow here but they are in fact white see the strange and not at all straight line at the top of the first photo above yes that is indeed where the wall meets the ceiling visitors taller than 1 87 m may think twice about coming for tea compact living oh yes bijou at its bijouiest wishing you the loveliest of weeks helena posted by helena the swenglish home 34 comments labels living room the cottage the new swenglish home wednesday 16 july 2014 summer greetings dear blog readers have you entered the summer lull yet the lazy days the stopping what you are doing long enough to spot the most wonderful of growing inspiration of nothing is impossible and two fingers in the air to anyone who says poppies cannot grow out of a dry stone wall if they feel like it does you laundry smell wonderfully fresh from spending hours in the light summer breeze weaving more than fresh air into the thread count of the sheets storing life and new beginnings in the same is your home made elderflower cordial drunk yet drunk with sparkling water to the tune of the ice cubes clinking and clanking in the glass drunk till the last drop of golden summer flavours is devoured and the longing for next year s harvest has begun has your vine started producing grapes yet and more importantly have you stopped to smell the roses i confess i am not quite there yet my work has not gone on holiday so neither have i but occasionally and eagerly encouraged by my youngest son i do stop to smell the roses literally my son says mamma you have got to come here and smell this one it smells like lemon although he says it in swedish den luktar citron mamma oh and come here this one smells like raspberries so i stop and i smell and he is right the yellow rose does smell a little bit like lemon the red one like raspberries so i pick one put it on the table the scent of lemon summer and sweetness fills the room wraps us all in the arms of summer despite the boys still having a week left before school finishes and my having more work than i dare to think about lemon roses raspberries sometimes that is all it takes helena posted by helena the swenglish home 29 comments labels garden monday 23 june 2014 why i think i might start drumming every now and then i hear other parents tell me not seldom without a poorly hidden despondency in their voices that they have just bought a drum kit for their child because said child really really wants to become a drummer i have often wondered how i would react if one of my boys presented this idea to me glorious glorious part of this home housing the indoor swimming pool i am not sure i would jump up and down with joy i think i would rather spend the rest of the day trying to convince them that the instruments they are already playing are so much better for them for so many reasons noise level being one of them however having today fallen completely and irrevocably in love with this stunning house and its equally stunning gardens i am beginning to think that this drumming business is not such a bad idea after all if this is what nick mason former drummer in pink floyd is able to call home one of his homes today and yes this is his home on the outskirts of our little town i think my view of my boys potentially choosing a drumming career might just have changed dramatically in fact i think i might give it a go myself summer greetings to you all helena posted by helena the swenglish home 27 comments labels garden uk thursday 8 may 2014 garden glimpses scruffy shed at the back of the garden nothing that a few pots of lavenderishious loveliness and a couple of gently green garden chairs from asda cannot fix my peaceful friend joined me in the move from the old house and now enjoys the scents of summer from the perfumed plants whilst contributing to the calm and the cosy in this little corner of contemplation the view from the chairs or the bench above well a lawn crying out for a haircut and the garden path leading back to home sweet home dearest readers i am again humbled by your kind words your greetings here on the blog and via email your warmth and your kindness thank you all so much with love helena posted by helena the swenglish home 43 comments labels garden the new swenglish home thursday 24 april 2014 trashy treasures and a woolly welcome dearest blog readers would you let me hug you please hold you tight for a minute and tell you how lovely you are and how touched i was by your kind words after my modest blog come back two weeks ago i struggle to find the right words to describe how you made me feel i feel i ought to say something profound and yet all that comes to mind over and over again is you made my day you made my day during my blog silence one of the things that kept me busy was moving in to this little 18th century cottage in a tiny hamlet a few minutes away from the old swenglish home full of good vibes history lady birds and spiders this is a home where my compact living skills will be tested again and again however my nose for recycling and turning trash into treasure has already proven intact for example when i spotted these two rattan chairs being thrown away at the local recycling centre stop hold on surely you are not throwing those away i bellowed at the men unloading the contents of their lorry into the skip want them they re yours they bellowed back raising one or two eyebrows at the beaming swede embracing their rubbish with such joy perhaps not my dream garden chairs but they were free and they have already proven to be splendid seats for lunches in the sun the observant among you may have noticed that there seem to be two front doors to this little aged beauty this is indeed true in the old days this used to be two cottages and as i sweat and fret over lack of storage space i think of what it must have been like living here in those days in only half of the cottage and instantly i feel really blessed and grateful for the space that i have got the front door to the left in the photo above leads straight into the kitchen this is a kitchen that in the mouth of an over eager estate agent might be described as bijou but which we all would know means so tiny you can barely turn around but do you know what it also comes with this view and that makes even washing up my least favourite household chore a joy and just like my woolly neighbour welcomed me into my new home let me welcome you to the new swenglish home blog helena posted by helena the swenglish home 51 comments labels the new

garden decorating ideas and of the life of a swede in the uk unable and unwilling to stick to one style my house hosts a mix of swedish danish french country style with a hint of new england and a whiff of the orient i tend to surround myself with pale calming colours but sometimes also flirt with a more spicy palette with inspiration from nature recycled items and a dose of cheeky playfulness
