The day came and went.......



The children`s day....






Children`s parade, amusement park, a lot of hot dog`s and ice creme...

The children had a great day.

My eldest play the clarinet in the school band and wears the band`s blue uniform.

My daughter is wearing a Bunad. It`s a Rogaland Bunad from the Bjerkgrei district.
My mother have bought the fabric, tread and pattern at Nordaker, Stavanger.
She has sewn 6 of these, one for her self, me and my daugther. My cusin and her daugther. 
And for my brother`s daughter. The embroidery and the green fabric is the same on all 6, the vest is by own choice. You get to choose from about 7-10 brocade patterned fabrics,
and these in different shades.
Mother choose green wool fabric for The stakk (skirt) and for the apron and the shawl. 
You can also choose between a deep blue color or black.

My youngest is wearing a knitted cardigan. 
My dearest grandmother knitted this one for my eldest just after he was borne. 
She couldn't understand why I wanted size 3 years when he was new born.... 
I have taken especially good care of this one, so both boys could wear it for the big days, 
like yesterday and Christmas and New Years eve and more.... 
I`m funny that way, little things like this matters a lot to me. 

My youngest have discovered that when I`m knitting, it`s usually for "someone"... 
So when I told him that his great grandmother, who is in heaven had knitted it 
for his brother and him, he grew a few cm and walked tall and proud all day... 

I don`t live in the same city as the rest of my family, but they are always with me...

Love you all.
