WELCOME AUTUMN!

Wonderful autumn, with all my favorite colors!

Will you come along on our Sunday walk?

The royal manor, Ledaal, has a nice garden with tall trees,

this time of year we are looking for chestnuts

Alot of leaves to run into and play with

Next  stop is to look at the fishes

Patches with colors everywhere

We found this tree in a garden,

it looks like a big Celtic knot...

We always bring some bread for the birds

Back home to do the last finishing touches on the two

"Marius" sweaters.

With very good help from a friend, the twins now have

one each!

Enjoy your day!

APPLE TREE, APPLE MITTS and APPLE CAKE...

Wonderful blue skies and apples are just waiting to be picked

Fingerless mitts in Autumn colors on my needles

This is my simplified version of a pattern  

found in a knitting magazine

I used wool  from my leftover stash for my

apple mitts

Apple cake, just out from the oven...

it smells wonderful!

Enjoy your weekend, bake an apple cake !

SEPTEMBER, ALREADY???

A new month already, fall is a busy time for everyone...

Today, suitcases are packed with all favorites...

ready for new adventures..

beautiful silk yarn for a easy travel project

little sisters sweater is nearly done, just need another evening.

Look at this cute crochet hat, I bought it here

and it came in the post yesterday, together

with a nice card. We love it!

Have a wonderful September everyone!

SUMMER IN AUGUST

We have had some beautiful summerdays lately

and I can still sit outside knitting

and this is how far I am on the twin`s

traditional Norwegian  cardigans "Sirdal"

I am knitting them in size 6 years and they are big,

I will put them aside and do the sleeves next year

and as you can see, something new is already on my knitting

needles, the sweater "Marius". Red for little sister and

little brother will get a blue one

Little brother`s quilt top "cars" is done and it is on the

way to be macine quilted by Sharon

Everyone is enjoying the last taste of summer, and this week school

started again

and our little ones are already in preschool

Cruise ships are still arriving at the harbour and the town

is filled with tourists

Have a nice week

and thanks for stopping by!

KNITTED SUMMERTOP

This weekend I finished a summertop I have knitted for myself

I found the pattern here,

and I knitted in some cotton yarn I had in my stash

I have used this cotton yarn before and I like it, but

cotton is not my favorite  yarn to knit, so now I am back

 to work on the traditional jackets for the twins...

update will come soon, I hope...

Happy knitting week!

EASY SUMMER BAGS AND QUILTS

My sewing machine has been busy, sitting outside in my favorite spot

several bags has been made, small ones and

bigger ones, and also some easy baby quilts

 some for friends and some for

my online baby store ...

Nice and easy summer projects!

ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Cath Kidston projects

I finished my Cath Kidston projects from the book "Sew!"

The small bag is cute

and the pillow matches my curtains

I also finished my blue and white tablecloth,

the lace I planned to use for the edge was too small

so I used some ric-rac ribbon instead

Looks good together with my new blue and white collection from Green Gate!

Have a wonderful summer week!

NORWEGIAN BACK PACK

Inspired by a blog, I made my own version of the 

 leftover yarn knitted  backpack...

I only used wool yarn that was in my stash..

It is fully linned and the only things that I needed was

the Norwegian ribbons for the handles 

and a small Norwegian flag

it took a while to make, because I had no actual pattern...

 but it is an original and it will travel with our daughter

back to the US next month...

A busy weekend for all of us is coming up,

hope you have a nice one too!
