A COLD WEEK END

This week end has been cold and grey, a good stay at home week end. 

I fixed the bag, as a few readers guessed, it was the handles that was sewn on wrong.

Now I think it looks great, you can see more pictures in my little shop

A new bag is started, this time one for myself. It was very difficult to choose fabrics. I decided on these Japanese fabrics that I bought back home in December.

More letters are made, now also in white, but that is hard to tell from this picture. Nice ribbons for a babygift, more in my store

In the mail this week, I got these catalogs from "Sandnes Garn". The ones for children has a lot of pretty things, specially for little girls.

But on my needles I have the worst, booring project ever, the long socks, I just have to continue them.... let's see if I can go another week without starting a new project..

Have a creative week and stay warm!

A creative day

I am lucky to start my day with these two happy faces, they love water!

This morning was perfect for dying some yarn, look at these wonderful colors

outside to dry

My newest thing is to decorate letters, I use silver spray paint. They are nice for decorations on the shelf or the wall, I have alot of different ribbons, pink and blue ones for the babies room...

I managed to finish this bag before the end of my Monday, when I finally sat down to watch my favorite tv show and got my knitting out, I looked at the bag and realized that I have done a big mistake, can you see what it is?

Well, tomorrow is another day.... have a good one...

IN MY SEWING ROOM

I was working like crazy yesterday, and here is the result,  PILLOWS! Different shapes and some nice ones for Valentine. Sweet hearts for decorations around the house. I needed some new things in my "Epla" store so they are all for sale, let me know if you like one... Also made some new sweet labels.

Nice sun today so I brought it all outside, but it is cold only 5 degrees C (42F) .

Here is my red fabrics ready to make a red version of the blue one I made earlier. It will go nice with my new red dishes

Leaving tomorrow, flying away to a warmer place, it has the world's tallest building that opened yesterday. Can you guess we we are heading?
