Happy Weekend

I'm spending the weekend far away from my home. I was invited to spend a creative weekend with these two inspiring bloggers. Sadly Wenche has been sick...

We passed Stof og Stil on our way to Skagen, and I got an opportunity to see ( - and buy) some of the new fabrics. Cheerful spring colours.

My creative weekend project - fabric hexagons. It's time for handsewing.

 

The wheather was beautiful today. Perfect for a guided tour in the local area. We had a very interesting trip. It's almost a vacation for me being tourist in my own country. We did a great find at the shop named Thit & Trøste. Just have a look at these pictures.

Tomorrow it's time to go home. Time is running so fast, but I know for sure, that I will go home with new energy and inspiration. 
 

Thuesday

I have spent a relaxing time cutting squares this afternoon

I didn't plan to cut squares today. I had decided to take the time to some inspiring blog visits, but the internet wasn't working. 

.....it's working now. My beloved husband came home and saw that the plug was pulled out....Don't tell anyone! Honestly I did check it, but choose the wrong plug.
 
 

Simple Stripes

White and light blue stripes look so clean and fresh. I love the mix of simple stripes and cheerful colours.

Two drawstring bags - I never get tired of these bags. They are also good for gift wrapping.

A peek inside the bags.

Each bag contains a small matryoshka doll. The size of the bag is approx. 30 x 24 cm and the height of the doll is 15 centimeters.
 
 

Welcome back

 
 

I'm so glad, that she's back in business!

Almost halfway

I admit it, I hate to knit socks! The problem is, that I have wanted a pair of long lace knitted socks for ages now.

I'm almost halfway and soon I will have my own pair of long woollie socks.

You find the sock pattern in Danish here.

 

Note Books

Friday afternoon I spent with my ever inspiring friend. This time we were carving stamps. It was my first attempt and I choose some easy prints to carve...

Stamped and decorated note books. I don't know about you, but I love note books.

Well, all for now. I have to go shopping for my own set of carving tool. Enjoy your Saturday.

It works!

Sometimes when it's hard to find inspiration, I know what to do. Make som tissue holders!

Mixing fabrics and colours do inspire me. So what could be better than choosing such an easy project as my first work 2010...?

I have small fabric bundles to inspire me. This vintage collection is so tempting. The lovely apple pincushion is a gift from my friend, Marie-Louise. Her company is the best kind on inspiration, you can get.

Tomorrow it's back to work. I'm not ready for that yet. Today it's Sunday and I intend to enjoy every single second of this day. Tomorrow is tomorrow!

 

Inspiration

Do you know the feeling, wheen you see something to really like....?! Yesterday I found my way to this inspiring website Wood & Wool Stool.

I love the mix of wool and wood. I would like to have one of the small Christmass trees next year. Maybe two....

Thank you, Ingrid, for giving me permission to show your photos on my blog.
