I do like hexagons, and over the years have made quite a few hexie quilts. But hexies require hand stitching (I know there is a "roundabout" way of sewing hexies by machine, but the end resul...
An other beautiful winter´s day today. I went for a long walk in the woods today, making my way through the snow covered ground. Snow is such a wonderful thing, making the woods come alive before my ...
Just an ordinary Wednesday in February. Albeit a beautiful one. Blue sky, bright winter sun, white snow... and a nippy northerly wind. All looks bright and peaceful, yet there is a bit of "life&#...
Gosh, I am overwhelmed by all your lovely comments in regards to my previous entry. Thank you! It seems we are definitely not indifferent when it comes to orange, as most of us indeed either love it ...
I know, I know. I have not been kind to the colour orange in the past, even stating that it is one of my least favourite colours. Then what is it that draws me towards that very colour every time I s...
How I do wish the roses really were back in my garden. But since this will not be the case for a good while yet, I will have to get my "rose-fix" elsewhere. And what better place than in the ...
Random Sunday photos for today´s entry... without any particular significance or agenda. Just whatever caught my eye.A nifty new waffle iron from Moods of Norway (a lovely Christmas pressie from frie...
More snow today. Yet I am making the most of it... by staying indoors, close to the fire. And by making waffles! I am so pleased with the nifty waffle iron (from Moods of Norway) I got for Christmas....
At this point it seems that winter is never ending. It has been quite nippy here of late, down to -26 C at worst. On top of it all it is even snowing today. Truth be told I am getting a wee bit tired...
First a confession; this first photo has nothing at all to do with today´s entry. I just wanted to add one pretty picture, as the rest are anything but. So... to the business at hand; tidying up. I a...
In all honesty I do dearly hope my heart is not made of steel... but I do have to admit being a tiny bit fascinated by steel. Even though I am very much a country girl at heart, I can not help but be...
I have ever so many projects on the go... so many WIP´s to finish. So the obvious solution to my predicament is of course to start yet another one! And not just any old project, but yet another knitt...
Freedom is a wonderful thing. But freedom can also be dangerous, especially if you are a hen. I am afraid for Klara Klok (Clever Clara) it was fatal. Now Klara Klok was indeed a clever chook, born an...
"The Summer memories"-quilt is finally finished! It has been a long time in the making, mostly due to shortage of backing material. On the outset I just had a pile of assorted fabrics and a w...
My garden - my joy! Constantly changing and evolving. But what did it look like in the very beginning? This entry has been greatly inspired by the lovely blog "Roser og Patina" and her fascin...
This cushion cover started out without any grand design or plan. All I wanted was to use up some of my wool left over from other projects.Sometimes no plan is a good plan! I am in fact quite pleased ...
There are new kids on our block... or rather two new roosters. Such handsome fellows. They have replaced "the fierce one", who was getting far too protective of the hens for his own good.So t...
I so wanted to start something new at the beginning of the bright new year. Preferably something colourful (never mind all the less colourful projects from last year, still waiting to be finished...)...
Change is good... don´t you think? There is hardly anything I like better than to change things around in my house and my little studio. Nothing major, just a change in textiles, colours and the smal...
The fact that I am a tea drinker is well documented here in my blog. While the fact that on most days I enjoy an afternoon coffee break is not (not that it is such an earth shattering piece of news t...
Spot the difference. Or rather... what is new in this photo. No, it is not the rosy cushions, neither is it the colourful crochet blanket. Nor the pretty roses (the same ones as in the previous entry...
All is well that ends well... I guess it goes both for this year and for my knitted blanket! Only a few hours left of 2011, and what a way the year ends. This last day has been a glorious one, cold a...
JANUARY FEBRUARYMARCH APRILMAYJUNEJULYAUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER2011 - the year that has been. Just a few photos... it was difficult to choose only one for each month. But I did. Mias...
I hope you all have had the loveliest of Christmases. Thank you for your Merry Christmas-wishes, for e-mails and even presents. I am so grateful for them all. You truly are the best.We have had a lov...
Do sit down and have a cup of Christmas tea and chocolate cake (the recipe can be found here) as this is a long rambling post about random Christmassy things a casa mia.Remember the oranges and clove...
I started knitting these squares for a blanket back in July. But never before have I been so unsure about my choice of colours for a project. Usually I have at least a vague idea of what I am trying ...
The run up to Christmas is usually a busy one, and more often than not I tend to find myself under a fair bit of stress. This year has been different, though.Our nearest and dearest have this year ch...
You will be forgiven for thinking that such "an impressive" title is followed by all manner of interesting things. Not quite the case, unfortunately. This is just a random post about my Chris...
I do like me a slow leisurely morning (I have never been a "rise and shine"-person, and usually require a bit of time to "shine" in the morning), like this Saturday morning in Decembe...
Autumn has been unusually mild this year. Apparently the mildest one since they started recording such things, some 100 years ago. Which is quite a contrast to last year, when the unusually severe wi...
