Just a little post…

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

All day today I’ve been trying to sew… but I’ve been drawn to other things, watching sports on TV, surfing, work out, watching childrens TV… putting children to bed…
This is how far I’ve got: (I hope the picture doesn’t show that I actually sewed the “pictures” on the back - and had to sew new […]

Early bird? Or just very late?

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I know I’m not the only one finally having the time to sew for christmas. I have to do it now while I’m in the mood. I’ve also been sewing two bags, the one shown here is for my mother. She bought the fabric and I was to do the sewing. In return I got […]

I will be back, blogging about once a week. After new year I have had time to sew, and have been sewing christmas ornaments - you will see more in my next entry.

I love a penguin - always. This is the only […]

Are you looking for a nice quick gift?
I really liked sewing this, and now you can too:

Kids

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Do you remember the night gown I was going to sew. It’s ready!! Well… that’s what is so nice about fleece, if it’s missing a couple of seams it will not unravel… and she loves it.. goal accomplished.

This is why we moved: a picnic outside our frontdoor with a best friend.

A little bit tired girl […]

Blogvacation

Friday, October 24th, 2008

As you probably have figured out by now, I don’t really blog anymore. I have therefore decided to take a blogbreak and see if that doesn’t help me to be more relaxed and creative.
Just for now, life is enough.
If you want to reach me, you can leave me a comment and it’ll show up […]

Time for tea, anyone?

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Jenny and I play “Rummikub” almost every night. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a great game for playing around with groups and rows of numbers - and changing them within the rules. I mostly win, still, but she is getting good and soon my little girl will beat me a lot.
If you come […]

Organizing and home alone

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I’m getting to the point where there is hope of reaching the sewing machine by this evening. Too bad the kids got hungry and wanted something to eat (well, I got hugry too..). I’m so thrilled. Now what to make? I have to finish the fleece night gown of course, but then what?
I want to […]

We’ve sold our home for the last seven years..

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Finally, we sold our appartement last week. We had it “styled” for showings with our belongings, so as soon as it was sold we went and got the rest of our stuff. Wow, I didn’t know we had that much left over there!!! Anyhow, we are thrilled to have sold it at an acceptable price […]

Ufo or Wip?

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I like to do handwork while watching tv, but when I’m not I like to sew on my sewing machine. As most of my sewing includes some hand sewing - and since I like to crotchet and sometimes knit I always have plenty of Work In Progress. Here is my wip basket that I keep […]
