Colourful shopping

Do you know, that over one million plastic bags are consumed per minute globally? I hate plastic bags! I hate, when I have to pay for one in a shop and I hate to have the empty bag, when I'm home again.

 

If you feel like me, you must visit this website. I have finally made some fabric bags. I have wanted to do that for months. It's a great opportunity to use fabric from your stash.

 

The instruction for sewing the bags is great. It's a easy and quick project even if you are not use to sew. My friend, Dorte, has made fabric bags too.

Have fun and spread the word!

Mini Cruise and Stockings

Three more stockings for Christmas. Yes - now it's done! I have mentioned the C-word and I guess, it's okay.

 

I'm very pleased. Six finished stockings before October 1st. I hope to make ten stockings. Time will show.

The next couple of days, I'm taking a blog break. I'm going on a minicruise to Oslo until Saturday. All staff on my work are going to visit public schools in Oslo (I work as a school secretary). Parents, officials from the local authority, the local vicar and many others are going to take care of the 500 pupils on the school. It's fantastic to see the exiting plans, they have made for the pupils. I think, we are all going to have a great time.

See you!

Stockings for you-know-what

I will try not to mention the C........ word. Yes, I have started my preparations, but I'm not ready to talk about C........! Beside that it is way to early to decorate the house, Kitschen Pink! 

 

Three finished stockings - more will come. Love the mix of linen, fabric, ribbon and vintage embroidery.

 

Gingham and chickens. I love gingham fabric. Perhaps it could be a theme for a swap once.

 

Measurement from buttom to top is approx. 40 cm (16").

Enjoy your Sunday. I will!

WIP

I'm still here! I've been tired and haven't done much creative stuff the past two weeks. I can understand, that I'm not the only one feeling like that. Thank god for that!

 

My new WIP. It has something to do with C..i....s

I guess, it's okay to talk about that now. I have one gift ready. How about you - have you started your creative preparations.....!?
