Celebration...?


Today is a special day. A day for celebration. As it is exactly five years ago that I posted my very first "Mias Landliv"-entry on this blog. Five years!!!?


So today I have baked a cake and invited the ones I share this household with to join in on the celebration.


Zara graciously accepted the invitation. As did my hubby.


But the thing with this lot is that as soon as they have had their piece of cake they lose interest and are out of action. (No prizes for guessing what is missing from this picture...)


So I am left to my own devices with the celebrating. Unless you, of course, would like to join in? Or maybe you too have lost interest and think I have worn out my welcome...?


Five years, and a whole lot of repetition, like this latest knit of mine (almost the same, but with a twist). So maybe the time has come to quit while I am ahead... Either way, there is more cake to be had.

Hurra! Gratulerer med "5-årsdagen" Mia!! Tenk, 5 år...!! Jeg har blogget i 3,5 år, og synes DET er lenge, hihi ;) Jeg har vel sagt det et par ganger før, men du har alltid vært en stor inspirasjon, og en av de første bloggene jeg begynte å lese :) Så jeg håper så klart du vil fortsette, tror nok de fleste tåler litt repetisjoner i ny og ne, dine mange lesere og kommentarer tyder kanskje på det... :)) Nydelige bilder, nydelig kake og en nydelig bissevov! Fortsatt god helg! Klem Synnøve

Frances sa...

Good evening from New York, Mia.

I wish you a happy blogging anniversary, and know what you mean about how time has passed by.

Because of my work schedule, I am lucky to be able to post more than two blogs a month. How I wish I could do more.

How I have enjoyed each and every one of your posts since I first discovered the beautiful place from which you post.

Over the various seasons, inside views of your home and beautiful crafting, and outside with the wonderful garden and nearby animals, your posts have shown me so much Scandanavian beauty...real beauty, that I would not otherwise have known about.

I thank you once again for the gifts of your posts, and hope that you will continue to send these reports from your wonderful part of the world out to the rest of us all over the globe.

Annika sa...

Gratulerer med 5 år!! Og please....ikke slutt...Sitter her i Singapore og følger bloggen din...følger årstidene - som vi jo ikke har her ved ekvator, blir inspirert av strikketøyet ditt - noe som fører meg ut på en laaaang leting etter ullgarn! Nydelige bilder og masse inspirasjon med andre ord! Tusen takk!
Annika :)

happy little cottage sa...

Happy 5th Anniversary Mia! I love checking in to see what you are up to. A blog wouldn't represent our real lives if there were no repetition. Holidays, birthdays, seasons, hobbies, decorating. These are the things that we repeat over and over, and are what makes our blogs true to life (and fun to read).

Anonym sa...

Grattis! Tack för all inspiration, särskilt quiltarna. Aina

Tania sa...

Hi Mia, please don't quit, your blog is such an inspiration to me and to many other people I am sure! Love the pictures of Zara, as I have a little dog which I love too. Hope to see many more of your beautiful posts in the future. Warmest regards to you.

Fixing My Thoughts sa...

Mia, congratulations and thank you for your faithfulness! Please keep posting! Your blog is usually the first I check everyday. I just love it; it's so peaceful and pretty. I will never tire of seeing/reading your posts, no matter how many times they might seem like a repeat to you. I can understand, though, because I'm only coming up on my first year blogiversary, and I do have to take "shortish" breaks or I grow weary. But I always return after a break so happy to be posting again! Thank you for your beautiful blog. Bess

Anonym sa...

Well done on 5 years of blogging, please don't go anywhere, I love you blog and so love your style. It is lovely to see how someone lives on the other side of the world - I am in Australia. Lately a few blogs I read have stopped and it's like loosing a friend, so please keep posting xxBrenda

Anonym sa...

Mia, your blog gives me a lovely glimpse of Norwegian rural life. My grandchildren's father is of Norwegian ancestry. Since their birth, I have been interested in connecting with Norwegian culture. I was delighted to find your blog in English. Hopefully, you will continue your blog as your lifestyle is a wonderful (although quite idylic) representation of your culture. Happy birthday!

Nay-nay........please don't think of stopping your blog. It is truly a peaceful and serene part of the day for many of us "followers" and of course from beautiful Norway makes it even better! Thank you for all your inspiration and lovely thoughts.

Anonym sa...

Veronica here from Tipperary, Ireland. Please keep blogging - I check in every day - it is my downtime / me time. I love watching your garden (I have an acre in need of a lot of work), your interiors (am striving towards Scandinavian country) and the projects you are working on (I craft in any spare moments I can find). My day just wouldn't be the same!

Jak sa...

Happy anniversary. Please don't go, as I too would miss your lovely serene blog. Life is mostly repetition, but there is something very homely and comforting about that, which is certainly not boring in your beautiful home and garden.

Dearest Mia, I have been reading your gorgeous blog since you first started five years ago. I feel as though I know you and we have been friends for years.

Det er alltid hyggelig å titte inn til deg. Tror jeg kan si at jeg har fulgt bloggen din fra starten, selv om jeg ikke fikk blogg selv før året etterpå. Du har alltid vært en inspirasjonskilde. Håper du holder på i årene fremover også, varme klemmer fra meg

Dear Mia,
Congratulations on your 5th year blogging anniversary! I have been reading your blog for several years and I have fallen in love with your country. I have been inspired to start gardening again after admiring your beautiful gardens throughout the seasons and I even took up knitting & crocheting in hopes of recreating some of your lovely projects you had posted. Your blog is like a breath of fresh air and cozy with a cup of tea at the same time.
I hope this will not be your last posting and you will let us know how you are now and then. You will be sorely missed.
With best wishes.
Greetings from Elsie in Texas

Congratulations on five years of blogging! I have only recently found you and I've spent some time looking back over your lovely posts.
I love your craft work and it's so interesting to learn about life in the Norwegian countryside. Beautiful photos both inside and outside of your home.
I would be disappointed if you do not continue.....and we wouldn't see how your lovely wool squares rug turns out!
Good wishes from Melbourne, Australia.

No new posts since the last where you are thinking of quitting. I sincerely hope you don't. Your pictures are beautiful and peaceful and I always like to see the little changes you make and I drool over your beautiful garden.

Oh, Mia, please don't quit. I live in the US, and frequently "visit" you in your lovely home. My family is a bit unsettled these days -- my son and I are living in the south, my husband is in the north. Home for all of us, just now, is temporary. I watch your gardens through the seasons and dream of my own when my family is reunited and we figure out our housing situation. I take inspiration from your projects, and have even knit my own version of your cabled pillow. You touch more lives and give more of yourself than you realize. On behalf of all of us who quietly visit , I thank you. I hope you will continue sharing your world with us, but regardless, I wish you the very best! Your American Friend, Tracey

Cottage Garden sa...

Happy blog anniversary Mia.

I have enjoyed my visits here so much over the past couple of years that I have been blogging. Your posts and photos are truly inspiring.

It seems as though everyone has been reading between the lines and feel your blog may be coming to an end.... I hope not but understand your reasoning completely. It can often seem that we run out of ideas and lose our blogging muse! Perhaps afer a blog break you will come back refreshed, maybe you could keep your blog open and just post once in a while or as the seasons change. Perhaps a change of blog even - whatever you decide to do I wish you all the best and every happiness to you and yours.

I will miss your blog if you stop writing it; it's been a source of inspiration and calmness for me whenever I read it. So, I vote that you keep going. You always seem to create a new twist on what you've done previously. If there is any repetition, I've never been bothered by it. Blessings on you.

Everyone is right! Please keep on writing your blog as it is so lovely and everyone would really miss you. Blog writers are real people and we feel we get to know you when we read and it is especially enchanting to feel that way about someone who lives far away in another country.

Obviously it is up to you but I do hope you will stay as I do love to read you and see your beautiful pictures. If you do go, please say goodbye to us all and don't dissapear. It is so sad when that happens.

I hope you will be back very soon to continue for at least another 5 years.

lots of love xx
