I love going to the theater

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

but we seldom do. Probably about once or twice a year. This fall we have three plays lined up, and all with the kids.
First is “Pinocchio”! Youngest is watching Disney’s version right now. It’s so sweet. Then my girls and I are going to see “Jul i Blåfjell” (Christmas in the blue mountains) at Oslo […]

Buying a sewing box

Friday, September 25th, 2009

We had a nice long summer, and one of the things I finally had time to do was go to the Salvation Army store to look around. I found this sewing box with the former owners things in it. I was so thrilled I could hardly wait to check it out.
When I opened it, it […]

Ribbons

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Look at all my ribbons.

Before you get too jealous I’ll tell you about it. I have 100s of about 8 cm of all kinds of different ribbons. My step mother wanted to import ribbons wholesale and start selling ribbons on the Internet and got many samples. It didn’t go that way and I got all […]

Hearts

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I love to sew with my scraps. It’s more rewarding than sewing with large pieces of fabric. I like to do that to, but there is something with scraps that feels more genuine - I don’t know. Since I’m using new fabric the genuine part is just in my head. Real genuine would be to […]

Fall flowers

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I don’t know if it is the wonderful first days of fall or the equally wonderful last days of summer that is here. If I get an opportunity to sit outside in the warm summer sunshine this is what I work on:

When I left this alone for a couple of minutes the hexagons where flying […]

Julekalender

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Ingen lager julekalender til meg .. jeg har laget julekalender til mannen, men det har jeg ikke tid til lengre. Barna får kalender. Så jeg bare måtte bli med på konkurransen / reklamere for denne bloggen og hennes julekalender give-away.
Hun lager fortsatt julekalender til seks barn og mann. Imponerende.  Her er et bilde fra en […]

A new table runner in the making

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I made some pillows before the summer, but I didn’t have any table runner to match.

I suddenly got the idea of circles, and as thought so done:

I like the circles, but I don’t like the finished look of the circles. I think I need to have another seam around them … or do you have […]

I’ve fixed it. You should be able to comment now. Please do.

A walk in the neighborhood

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Last weekend we went geocaching in our neighborhood. It’s nice to get to know the area we live in better. We tried to find this geocache in the winter, but due to the snow we didn’t find it. This time around we found it quickly.

This stone looked like it had it’s own light:

The train used […]
