TRADITIONAL KNITTING...

On my knitting needles now are two projects....

I am knitting traditional Norwegian cardigans for the twins..

One in dark grey for him and one in light grey for her.

 Using 100% wool yarn (I do not like superwash) and the pattern

 is called "Sirdal". Knitting in size 6 years, so they will grow into them.

I got the magnetic chart holder from a dear friend, it is perfect for

this.

A trip to the library and I found this book

I have fabric ready for two of the projects in the book

and some squares are ready to be sewn into an easy

tablecloth

Maybe tomorrow?





PINK FLOWERS....

It is time for pink! Pink flowers and pink candles..

The candle is "Pink sands" from "Yankee Candle"

I have been collecting old coffee cups..

Old cups and saucers with pink flowers

Pink flowers and lace curtains....

My sewing machine has been busy...

making big summerbags to be filled with

books and latest knitting project.....

Have to sew some more, they both "walked"

out the door before I was able to put them

for sale on line...

and of course, I have baked bread again...

and harvest rhubarb from my garden for dessert today..

Have a nice week!



BETWEEN RAINFALLS......

Norwegians are always concerned about the weather,

will it be rain or sun this weekend?

it has been cold....

and we have had alot of rain in the month of May.....

But the flowers are blooming in my garden..

the Wisteria is climbing along the fence...

beautiful colors...

and I have to admit, I LIKE the rain....

wonderful, grey, rainy days....

after 9 years living in the hot, humid weather....

I prefer this...

I can put on my raincoat and walk to the lake

and meet this little family...

or I can walk down to the harbour and look at the cruise

ships visiting for the day...well, they probably prefer sunshine...

I have had a nice visit with my sewing machine,

and made some little things for my store...

cosy bags for the tea candles...

I have baked bread again, it is Friday...

and believe it or not, the SUN is shining today, and we will 

have dinner outside this evening and two birthdays will be

celebrated on Sunday!!

HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND TOO,

AND THANKS AGAIN FOR

STOPPING BY!
