My scarf is ready to wear! I love the mix of the purple and lime cotton yarn. Finally I can show you a finished knit project. I think, that I'm in the middle of a knit crisis. I still have to finish the red top (I have borrowed the picture....) and this one. I find both projects so boring and I blaim both of them for my knit crisis. Do you know the feeling...?!
I have yarn and pattern waiting for Heather and for this wool sweater too. I better get started! See you.
En Theo og Thea toilettaske fra Tilda serien. Denne udgave er nok til en nyfødt pige og hendes forældre. Den kunne også været til en anden ikke så lille pige, der skal overnatte hos bedsteforældrene. Den vil ligge i gaveskuffen og vente på den rigtige anledning.
Det er fredag, den månedlige fridag, min absolut yndlings fredag. Mine infiltrationer har været under hård kærlig behandling for et par dage siden, men i dag er der bedring. Så længe det varer, for det er jo umuligt at holde sig fra det kreative. Den energi vil jeg for alt i verden ikke gå glip af! Over middag sætter jeg mig i bussen til det jyske og leger turist i Århus i morgen. Den slags afslapning kan jeg godt li' - nej, hvor jeg glæder mig.
I går faldt jeg tilfældigt over denne post på Blogmagasinet, hvor bl.a. vores 12 projekter bliver nævnt.
A toilet pouch for a newborn baby girl. You can see a peek inside the pouch in my flickr album.
Zakka style drawsting pouch made in linen and red and pink cotton. Here is another picture of it.I like these happy colours so much! I'm planning to make some pouches for Cristmas gifts - a nice gift wrapping. Perhaps I will make some for the Erleperle shop, but right now it's time to rest. I have a head ache and pains in my shoulder. It's very typical for me now vacation is over and I'm back to work. It's quite difficult not to sew or knit, but I think I have to take a break. Just a short one...
A rosy pouch for the rosy bag - with small pink roses and a stitched rose on the backside. The button is from my treause of old buttons. 
The ribbon is from this treasure box. If you are a ribbon and button freak like me, you can join this new flickr group. It is possible to participate in a swap each month. If you don't want to swap each month, you don't have to!
I have finished this project. A rosy bag in cotton and linen. I just love the Temple Flowers checks and roses. To be honest - I have the fabric in different colours.
I have plans of using some fabric for an apron. Then I think I will finally feel as a domestic goddess in the kitchen. Speaking of that - have you seen these gorgeous aprons...?! Some day I will wear such an apron, my high heeled open sandals in silver (...or the leopard ones...) and make my husband a dinner, he will never forget!
Right now it's time for lunch! After that I think I will make a pouch for the rosy bag. Happy sunday!
At blive vækket af sin elskede, som skulle cykle sin sædvanlige morgentur lørdag, er i sig selv fantastisk! Når han samtidig med glæde siger, at der er kommet en pakke til mig fra Tyskland, så er det en god lørdag. Pakken vidste jeg straks, hvem var fra, nemlig fra denne kreative kvinde, som virkelig har sans for detaljerne. Det babuska kort og den helt vidunderlige indpakningen gjorde straks min dag glad! Pakkens lækre indhold kan du se i mit flickr-album! Jeg har sagt det gør, jeg elsker disse fantastisk swaps med forkælelse i rigt mål.
Today I received a package from this great crafter. Look at the babuska card she made for me and the gift wrapping. It is too fantastic to open! Which I of course had to do. If you want to see what was inside, take a look in my flickr-album. Thank you so much, Jasna. It is over whelming. You really made my day! I just love swapping.
Efter to dage på jobbet må jeg konstatere, at det er godt med system i rodet. Der er nu tømt et utal af flyttekasser, ryddet op, smidt ud, vasket af og på mandag også støvsuget lidt. Altsammen p.g.a. en gennemgribende renovering hvor turen nu er kommet til den bygning, hvor jeg har siddet i rigtig mange år. It og telefoni er ikke etableret i den midlertidige bygning endnu, men måske på mandag.... Da det ikke har virket, har vi kunne koncentrere os 100% om det andet. Derfor er jeg nu klar til at gå i gang med det "rigtige" arbejde! Hjemme er der også ryddet lidt op - nemlig i broderitråden. Nemt og overskueligt, lige til at gå til. Godt for øjet, på nær den gule som jeg bare ikke ka' li', men som var nødvendigt til et bestemt projekt. Siden jeg så dette billede, har jeg ønsket at få ryddet op i tråden.
Hvis du ikke kender denne bog, vil jeg anbefale dig at låne den på biblioteket. Der er blandt andet tøj, duge, sko m.m., der har fået nyt liv med et større eller mindre broderi. Noget mere avanceret end andet! Inspiration kan vi jo altid bruge!
Today was my first working day after five weeks vacation! A busy day which stopped a bit earlier than usual - thank god for that! The weather in Denmark is very warm - too warm for me! I'm not that kind of person who just loves sitting in the garden enjoying the sun.
Instead I had to start a new project! Yes, I did that inside the house and all doors and windows were open. So here you see the new start of a project in one of my favorite fabric, Temple Flowers Checks and Roses in mustard and pink from Amy Butler, For the pocket it is Lotus Wall Flowers also from Amy Butler. I love her designs. By the way have you seen the new collection Nigella....?! Another temptation for a fabric addict like me - I have joined this flickr group. It is nice knowing that I am not the only one. Now I will go back to the Temple Flowers and sew a little more, before we go for a walk on the beach.
Kaffe Fassett fabric, ribbon from a swap and some light blue fabric from stash! Too bad that I have used all this great vintage ribbon. I like it so much. Maybe it's time for another swap with ribbons. Who can get enough of that....?! Not me!
Not much to say. It is not my first - or last - pouch/cluth. I like sewing them.
En japanske inspireret stofpose syet i hør/bomuld og ternet bomuldstof. Løbegangen er også i det ternede stof.
Indeni er der rødternet stof som ved løbegangen, hvori der er hørsnor. Posen måler ca. 22 x 27 cm, så der er snildt plads til f.eks. et nøgle strømpegarn og strømpepinde. Posen er vendbar, så hvis man foretrækker det ternede stof, er det muligt.
Todays project is a zakka-style drawsting pouch in linen and cotton. Thank god for all the inspiration I get from the japanese magazines! Inside the pouch is red and white country inspired fabric. You can turn this side out, if you prefer to. Inside the pouch you can have yarn and knitting needles for a pair of socks! I like sewing pouches. If you like it too - take a look at the photos in this flickr group. Lots of inspiration! Now is time to clean up - again....
