It`s on again!

Jippiiie!
 I`ve been longing for this, cause I missed out last time.
Why don`t you join in on the fun too over at Cheryll`s.

I am going to work on the house of Mr. and Mrs Claus and then I need a new knitting.
See ya!

Euphoria!

I`ve been test knitting this beautiful shawl, Euphoria, for Medea.
It`s actually more of a shawlette.

  Kind like a gem around the neck!
I think she will be out with the pattern soon.

Fabrics for the North Pole

You know I joined the QAL for Welcome to the North Pole over at Val`s blog.
All I have done this far is gathering some fabrics for the project.

At least it is something to begin with.

The block I am going to start working on is Mr. and Mrs. Claus House. That is the one to the left in the bottom row.

I am going to use the blues for the background so have to get some more that are a bit darker.

I am linking this to Val`s QAL!

My blanket!

Finally, my crocheted blanket is finished.
I started it in the summer of 2010 when visiting my daughter when she was working in Crete.
And now it is finished and I am so pleased with it!

There is 234 squares in the blanket. Phew!
I have used Delight, a sockyarn from Garnstudio. It is much better for blankets than socks I think.

I have taken the photos outside in the snow to get all the light I could in the photos.
 My DS1 says it has holes in it so it can`t be warm, so it is all mine in the sofa.

Did I tell you how pleased I am!

Pay it Forward

In November I got a beautful cushion from Sue as my PiF gift from her.
Now it`s my turn to pay it forward.

If you want to be the recipient of my PiF gift this year, all you have to do is to be one of the three first people to leave a comment on this blog post, and I will send you a handmade gift within the next 12 months.
What you have to do in return is to pay it forward to another three people.
And so it goes on and on!

The good thing is I will send it all over the world!

Going to the North Pole!

It seems like ages since I last wrote something here on the blog. But here I go again!

I found this QAL over at Val`s blog and had to order the book for it, Welcome to the North Pole.
So next Christmas I will have this beautiful quilt to hang.

Gorgeous Giveaways!

I've found two bundles of FQs to win.
The first one is from Majas Paradis.

And the second one from Bambisyr.

I do wish that Santa's  coming to town!

Don't forget!

Tomorrow is the last Friday Night With Friends for this year, but will be back in 2013!
So hop on over to Cheryll and link up.

FNSI-report November

This is the only thing I made for FNSI - the start of a piano border for my mothers quilt. I do hope it will be finished for Christmas.

Well I guess if I focus on that, then it will.

I love it!

When I find a squishy parcel in my mailbox, that is.
The other week I got one from Sue, a beautiful cushion which was my PIF gift from her.

It's a beautiful cushion and it goes so well with my sofa!  She also sent me a lovely fabric and card, I have never seen one like it before.

I was also partnered with her in the Quilting block swaps Australia and got this beautiful block.

And this is the block I made for Sue. Since she has already got it I know that she likes it!

Thank you so much Sue for all the lovely things!

FNSI

Don't forget to sign up for the Friday Night Sew-in tomorrow night! (I almost did)
Click on the picture and you'll get there.

Last night

was Friday night with Friends held by Cheryll. This is how far I got with my SILs birthday present. She's a great cat lover. It's the start for a cushion.

After that I plunged in the sofa and knitted some rows on my Boxy.  It takes time but I'm getting there, soon I hope.
