FNSI - May

I signed up for the Friday Night Sew In over at Heidis!

This is what I was working on, it has to be finished next Sunday because then we celebrate Mother's day over here! So I wonder who 's gonna get it, and  I'm going away on a roadtrip to Denmark for a couple of days so I don't have much time to work on it.







After a while I ended up on the couch with a knitting as usual!


It won't be long before I have had 25.000 visitors here on my blog, so perhaps I need to get my thinking cap on and figure out what I could give away to one of you. I'll get back with that so please pop in soon again!

More fabric?

After a meeting at my LQS I came home with these goodies!

 As if I need more fabric!
All I intended to buy when going there was the three in the top right corner. They are for a secret project.
But then some new fabric had come in. And as I love birds and chooks of all kind, I couldn't resist.

QR-code

You know - this is my blog!

I got interested when reading about it over at Jane Gardner's.
It took me to this site, in swedish but I'm sure you could find one in english, Skapa QR-kod. So easy - you just write what you want to say and press a button and it turns to a QR-code!
I do have a QR-reader on my phone but haven't used it many times, perhaps it will change now.
I don't know what to use it for, but it is fun!

Winning!

I won a Give away over at Quilting Chemist when she was celebrating her 100th post.

Yesterday I had a squishy mail with my prize in it!

Look at all those lovely fabrics! She had also included a beautiful mini charm pack.

Thank you so very much Danette!

The kit is called Spring is coming and will look like this when finished.

Friday Night with Friends - May

I didn't get as much time at my sewing machine as I had planned, and I "blame" it all on the SUN.
If you've read here before I'm longing for the sun almost all the time. And after this winter I really do. For the last couple of weeks we've actually have had quite much sun but there's also been a strong and cold wind so it hasn't been very pleasant outside.
But on friday it was! No wind and actually quite warm, so I sat outside quite late crocheting.
Later in the evening I did finish a bag for a friend's birthday.
It looks as if they are a theme for me right now because it's the third I've done so far.
Here is the second for another friend.

I've also finished the second pair of socks in the same yarn as before, but they don't look quite the same as the previous pair.


And I have to show you a spectacular sunset from last week.

Just a quick reminder!

Tomorrow is the Friday Night with Friends.
Pop over to Cheryll's and join in on the fun you too!

Thank You!

A big Thank You to everyone who voted for my Easter mini over at Quilting Gallery last week. It came in a 7 (out of 13), very pleased with that since it was the first time I entered.

Yesterday at FNWF I didn't get very much sewing done, but at least I started the Mother's day mini. Since it's a secret swap this is all you will see for today!
The rest of the evening was spent on the couch knitting. The jumper is almost finished so perhaps next week there will be a photo of it.










It's way past bed time so I'll just finish with a sunset from this week!

Presents! for me

Yesterday I got presents from Melody in Australia because I won her give away she had last mont.
It was a beautiful needle keeper made of wood grown in Australia!
She had also put some more things in the envelope, a beautiful FQ which is almost shimmering, a ricrac and a beautiful card with my favorite spring flower.

Thank you so very much Melody !

I've made myself a new pair of thick socks even if the winter soon will be gone, I hope.
And I've actually started another pair just like them and in the same colour.




And tomorrow is the Friday Night With Friends. If you want to join, pop over to Cheryll's and sign up!
I think I might start or at least make up my mind about the design for a new mini as I've joined in on Cheryll's Mother's Day Mini swap.

Happy Easter to everyone!

I managed to finish the mini now called Happy Bunny Easter! as I've entered it to the Quilters' Show & Tell at the Quilting Gallery.
If you fancy it, please go there and Vote for me or any other of your liking! You can vote from friday til monday.
There's usually a giveaway you can enter too.

The Easter pattern is a free one found over at Red Brolly!

Now I hope you'll have a happy and restful Easter,
and lots of time to do what you like the most!

FNSI - March

I know I should be working on my North pole quilt, but earlier this week I started this mini, and since Easter is before Christmas this is what I was working on yesterday. Now the question is, should I frame it like this

Or should I keep it simple like this.
Please give me some feedback!

This week I've also been testing a pattern for Kristy @ Quiet Play. She is making such beautiful patterns!

Well that's for now!

Time flies

It's already the third friday in March, so it's time for this

And you can sign up over at Heidi's.

Join in for some fun!

New MINI

Today I got my green Mini from Manuela in Portugal.

It's for a swap held by Cheryll, a great swap Mama with a lot of fun swaps!

Thankyou Manuela, I really love this one, it lightens up my kitchen!

The Mini I sent, as seen in the previous post, was for Danette.
 I'm so glad she liked it!
