The secret 2011

It`s time to finish the Secret 2011.

I joined in this year too, but had hard time to figure out what to make this time...

Five small fabric pieces and add some applique, the rest is up to each what to sew.

I`m bringing it with me to the family cabin for the summer, hopefully I`ll finish in time...

I`m bringing 2 knits and lots of fabric + stash for the children to get crafty.... and me ;oD

Have a great summer everyone

all the best hk

Purple v-neck cardigan

I`ve finished the purple v-neck cardigan for Kirsten.

It`s a joy to see that she loves it...

We had a great photo shoot last night, after 22 in the evening!

Jepp, a joy...

It`s a Rauma pattern 201R number 8.

I made size 10 years, used 180 g Rauma Finullgarn (thin woll).

Needles: 2,5 and 3.

I`ve also sewn her a trouser to go with the cardigan. 

It`s a Danish Union-pattern bought at Quiltegaarden, the fabric too.

Pattern number: 20022, size 128.

Love this pattern, if you look closely at the photos you may see that the seam in the side starts in the back and cross over to the front, downwards over the knee. Makes an interesting finish ;oD

Enjoy the day in the sun ;oD it`s gone rain later.....

I`m off tho work shortly... 

All the best, hk :)

My first project.....

Working in the candy store makes it hard to not fall for the temptation to by and bring home some goodies...

This lady has a plan...

Had! ehh!### ups! ;oD

My first project was to make a new iron-board cover.....

The children thought it was so fun when I put the iron-board upside down!

I`ve been thinking of making a new one ever since I saw kviltStina had made herself one (enjoy Stinas beautiful blog while looking for her iron-board, I believe it was in the fall 2010! ha ha ha couldn't find it in a hurry! ;oD but enjoy ). Beautiful, love her fabrics. I found the pattern or how to make it in an old "alt om handarbeide" a crafting magazine.

Sewing is a lot easier with a clean and nice iron-board... right ladies?

Sleep tight every one ;oD

You`ll never guess......

Things have been happening around here lately...

Some of my knitting, quilting, sewing and blogging friends already know...

I`ve got a job!

Hurra....

It`s kind off "back to my roots" experience.....

When I moved to Trondheim over 16 years ago! I had just finished 4 years of sew-and textile education.But things changed and I ended up with an pre-school teacher education as well...

Now I walk threw the forest, down the hill behind our house and take the bus to this lovely place...I hear birds in the morning and both sun and rain make my short walk a bit magic...I`ve seen deer (Bambi!) and squirrels passing the road and heard an owl...When I wait for the bus, I watch the waterfall and enjoy the great view on top of our local power station.

Entering this house in good time before opening....

It`s so nice when you come over to me and say: hallo :)

Fabrics, bottons, zippers, tread and more ALL day long, three days a week.

Life is good ;oD

I`ve been up-dating my opam list, still got problems with adding photos to my blog post....

Thank you all for visiting me.

All the best hk
