Jason M. on a lovely August evening

Just a quick note on a Saturday night. We have a quiet evening, just hanging around, reading. I found a to me new blog, Linnea Paulina, tonight. She linked to this, and I had to put it up here:



Hope it works.

Choosing colors

... is a difficult matter. I landed on the bottom two. Maybe I was wrong. I will never know.

Ragdoll

Now I think I know why they started to call them ragdolls. Always in awe of the inventive and industrious women and the footprints they made for us to walk in.

Wistfully

looking out the window. A summer girl not properly dressed yet. Her maker is undecided as to what creation to adorn her with. - Will we have some more summerly weather this season?
Work in progress... This time I have decided which fabrics to make six blocks from. I usually do not plan ahead, but follow my whim as I make the blocks. These will make up some bow ties. Ugly but nice... I like'm
One block ready to be sewn together. I am expecting - full of hope - some time to piece by hand in the company of our children and their grandparents.

A wall hanging I made for a dear friend and her husband for their wedding eight years ago.

Amanda ville ha to smokker i kveld. Hennes far spurte henne: Du har to ører. Du har to øyne. Hvorfor har du da ikke to munner?

Det er fordi jeg kan ikke snakke med to munner.

Logisk.

July - living easily

We are blessed with some incredible days and nights. One evening last week - when the rest of the house was quiet - I enjoyed blowing bubbles. My beloved came along to document the colors.

For the first time we have had some young friends staying over night. We all had a lovely time!
Lesson learned: Grown ups should know how difficult it is to fall asleep at night with one of your bestest friends next to you!

Nye lapper

It was difficult taking a shot of fabrics blowing in the wind. But this is a lot of fun sewing. Just remains from other projects. I wonder who machinequilted the backdrop quilt that I bought on sale at a local shop.


Patches I long to get back to. I printed out some new hexagons, so what is hindering the process? Nothing really - just about ten other projects ... such as quilting the last bits of this border...

... which is immensely soothing! Nice pastime for a rainy week end.

Det regner. TV-dag. Alle slappe og giddalause. Store avgjørelser gjøres ang. to eller en etasje. Ser vi kanskje en lysning? Magen til A fungerer igjen etter en uke med "bæsjeleken" - unnskyld uttrykket, men vi har løpt ganske mye fram og tilbake til et visst rom i dette hus i det siste.

Summer

We have warm, sunny days again, after some rain - which was good for the woods (there were some terrible fires in the most southern part of Norway) and farmacres, and strawberries. We are enjoying some days off, sewing, strawberrying (eating) and playing in the garden.

I made the quilt in order to sell it at our local market later this summer. It went together in a week. So nice to see something finished. Loved free motion quilting it.

A star for our girl helping out to tidy up!

May

Late spring, early summer - in one month.
