Reversible patchwork Bag

While the family was sleeping like newborn babies last night, I enjoyed the quiet. I was unable to go to bed. Yesterdays tag making and good company was energy for my creative soul.

 

The bag is made of remaining squares from this list taker.

 

Just to proof that the bag really is reversible!

You find a tutorial for the bag here.

It's raining cats and dogs, this day is one hour longer that yesterday, left overs for dinner - who can ask for more. I like these cosy and rainy autumn days. Don't you...!?

Tag Time

My dear friend, Marie-Louise and I have spent the day together making Christmas tags.

Being together with Marie-Louise is so inspiring! I love spending crafting time with her. It means a lot to me to be able to share my creative world with someone who really know, how it is to be a craft addict!

 

Vintage tag for decoration. I will make more of these!

These fine toadstools is made by Blij Als Mij. They are part of a private swap - thank you very much!

 

I hope, you have a great day too. 

Wool Time

Yearh! I have finally finished the star top.

 

....the stars could be better - I have to practise. I have yarn waiting for a new sweater project, not that I need one more sweater. Just for practising.....

Yarn:4 skeins Létt Lopi from Istex. I like this colour mix instead of the traditional grey og brown colour theme.

Today I received the most gorgeous wool for a scarf, I'm going to crochet. Beautiful colours - I will take a picture soon.

Wollie Squares

One scarf

   

Two scarves.

 

That's all for now. Time for a latté and homebaked apple cake. See you!

The Princess on the pea

We are waiting for the princess. Where is she....!?

 

Last year my daughter Frederikke and I started our Princess on the pea project. Finally the bed is made! I had to finish the project alone. Frederikke lives in her own fantastic world meeting new friends, enjoying music and moovies - the beginning of her teenage world. Thank god, she is the last teenager in this house! Olivia, age 14, thinks the princess bed is lovely. She is having her second princess period - a very pink one! I think it's great to have a teenager who likes everything from Walt Disney to Tokio Hotel.

You kan buy this lovely princess bed here. Små Tekstiler is a Danish onlineshop with lots of goodies for crafting addicts. Just take a look for yourself!

 

Yes, dear princess, we are ready!

(.....I'm sorry for the blurred photos)

Noro and Knit Picks

Day five - still vacation. No plans for the weekend. Yearh! Today we are going to celebrate my husbands birthday with bowling and homemade burgers.

 

I love purple, Liberty, Noro. linen and time for crafting.

 

.....I had to try Knit Picks. I shouldn't have done that, they are great!

My husband was a little dissapointed, when the post delivered three packages today. One birthday gift for him and two swap packages for me. Poor man.

 

Beautiful fabric from Erna, thank you very much!

 

Vintage goodies from a dear friend. We are both vintage addicts. Take a look at Hannes work - she is very talented.

Well, I better get dressed. Perhaps I have time to start a new project before the bowling game in 2½ hours. Perhaps...

Have a nice weekend.

Log Cabin

Day four - it's still vacation time. It's raining! Which means that I enjoy the day even more. Todays project is this pincushion - a gift for a friend.

 

I have made several of these log cabin pincushions and I love making them! I'm having so much fun choosing the right fabric for each and everyone. 

    

Thrift finds from the local second hand shop. I'm sure that many Danish visitors will remember the embroidery from their childhood home. I do!

Granny Square Scarf

Vacation - day two. We went to Copenhagen and had a great time. I bought pattern and yarn for a crocheted scarf, a tiny piece of Liberty fabric, some ribbon and a gift for a Christmas swap!

Yesterday I finished this scarf made of Peruvian Higland Wool.

 

Measurement approx. 150 x 15 cm. I don't know yet, if I will keep the scarf, give it away or list in my shop. Until the I will enjoy the colourful squares. I never get tired of granny squares, but I still have an unfinished project.....

 

I do enjoy being back in my creative little world! Life is good, so good! Thank you for all your sweet comments and emails.

Fall Break

One week off from work. I like that. A Fall break is so good. We spent the weekend in Sweden and now we are home again. Home sweet home! Beside a small trip to Copenhagen tomorrow we have no plans at all. We are all ready to enjoy every second of the week. It's was great to get away from home a couple of days. Yesterday I was crocheting until after midnight! Can't remember when I last did that.

 

An apple. Nothing unsual about that - but if you saw our garden, you will understand. We don't like gardening and our garden shows that.... Last year was our first good apple year. I guess the tree has accepted us. This is the first apple to taste this year. Perhaps it's time for baking an apple pie, making some apple butter or apple bread. Until that I will enjoy the photo.

   

One finished February Teenage Sweater for Olivia, size 14. It fit's her perfect and she likes is. What could make a mother more proud. 

Now I'm going to make a nice cup of tea and make a granny square or two. Enjoy your day - I'm enjoying mine! Feels great.
