Tormod and I have a thing for penguins. We have lots of small ones and a couple of larger ones. The larger ones only come out to play at christmas, only occasionally do we add to our collection - but how could I resist this new penguin - it’s the large one in the back […]
So much has happened in the last couple of days. I don’t have any pictures of things my daughters or I have made because they’ll be given away as christmas gifts….
On Sunday my father got his birthday gift, he was 60 in November. As a traditional dad his wishlist is difficult - “good children, good […]
I work very hard to get the gifts ready for christmas. I hope I make it, if I don’t there’s always birthdays and next christmas…
This little makeup bag is going to go with the tote. I hope she’ll like it - I made it with scraps from the tote. It was such fun making […]

This one is for my mom, she bought the fabric so she’ll recognise it. I quite like this one too. We had help in our local store to pick out the fabric. I’m planning to put the red ribbon on top as you can see - I have a few more ideas, but I’ll keep […]
Yes and no. This is as far as I’ve gotten. Jenny was quite excited when she helped putting it out. Fortunatly she hasn’t started to ask when it’s going to be finsihed. I think this will make a great quilt for her. I’m still unsure whether or not I want to add a frame to […]
