Suddenly time has passed and the holidays are over. We have had a really nice time, 3 weeks in our sailingboat and one week in my sister and her family's cabin in the south of Norway. We have actually been home for only 1 1/2 day during these weeks, when we used the time to wash a lot. Luckily this was one of the sunny and warm days (not a lot of them I'm afraid...) so the laundry dried up almost sooner than I could hang it out. I just have to show you my favourite motive from the cabin, it's the 'outdoor' toilet - isn't it beautiful with all the roses and flowers?
Har strikket og sydd litt disse ukene og. Er kommet et godt stykke på vei med strikketeppet mitt ( med Fabel-garn), egentlig er jeg kommet halvveis (12 lapper). Men jeg har bestemt meg for å lage en rad ekstra, slik at det blir litt større. Så da har jeg en god unnskyldning for å snope litt mer garn :o)
I have been doing some knitting and sewing these weeks. My knitting - blanket ( Fabel yarn) is half way finished - or it could be... If it wasnt for me changing my mind about the size. I want to make it bigger so Im adding an extra row, making 30 blocks in stead of 24. So I will have to buy more yarn - too bad... :o)
Jeg har hatt et par stitcheries liggende en stund uten å ha begynt på dem. Det var greit arbeid å ha med seg på båten. Et av dem er et Tilda-motiv, jeg er sikker på at jeg har et til, men jeg kan ikke finne det. Jeg må lete litt mer for jeg har lyst å lage et lite veggteppe til gangen. Sydde også et annet fra en annen designer, men det glemte jeg på båten.
I have had some stitcheries lying around for some time now, and I thought that would be nice work on the boat. One of them has a Tilda-motif, Im sure I have one more of those but I cannot find it. I have to do some thorough searching through all of my things, I wanted to make a small wallhanging of the two, for my hall. I also made another, from a different designer, but that was forgotten on the boat.
Og mens vi var i Kristiansand var jeg selvfølgelig innom Kreativ Quilt i flotte nye lokaler. Der fant jeg et herlig teppe i rødt og hvitt med noen stitchery-motiv innimellom. Jeg klarte ikke å motstå det, og kjøpte stoff og stitchery-mønster....
While we were visiting my sister I had to pop by the quilt-shop Kreativ Quilt. And - of course - I found a wonderful quilt in red and white with some stitcheries here and there. And - of course - I couldnt resist I had to buy the fabrics needed and some stitchery-patterns...
Jeg har såvidt begynt på det første / I've just started the first
Av en eller annen grunn får jeg bare sentrert tekst, får ikke gjort noe med det.
For some reason I only able to center the text, dont understand why.
