Midsummer Evening On The Water
June 27th, 2011 Posted in Sailing, Sewing, Special occasions
Last week we celebrated Midsummer Evening in Denmark. This being our first Midsummer Evening as boat owners, we wanted to head out on the water in the boat to see the bonfires on the beach from the seaside. These are just impressions from an evening on the water that offered a beautiful ever changing sky.
Frida had fallen asleep below, but Ronja was high with energy, so she did a little midsummer dance on the deck.
See the rainbow here?
The proud captain.

This past weekend, I have been sewing on a very special dress together with my friend Karen, who designed it. It may not be the same everywhere, but in Denmark as well as many other places, the groom is not to see the bride wearing the wedding dress until the wedding, so this is a secret project. That means even though I’m dying to show you our progress here, I can’t. However, if you are a blog friend, I can give you a guest pass to a secret Flickr album – just let me know here that you want to have a peek. 
I won’t be showing anything here until after August 13th.
