Sunday inspiration; Rocking the rocking chair!

I've dreamt about having a rocking chair for a long time! It's something almost meditatively about rocking in a rocking chair and maybe drink a whiskey or read, or my favorite combo; rocking and embroider! Do that for an hour and I can guarantee you will feel relaxed. It must be something about rocking that makes one calm, something that reminds you about when your parents rocked you to sleep in their arms or in a cradle. Anyway, I found a Thonet-style rocket chair last week on Blocket and just had to buy it! So now I have found one of the things on my 2014 list; a rattan rocking chair!

My chair:

It's nice to use a sheepskin for an extra cozy feeling
