Flowers from my garden

Today I have spent the entire day working in the garden. DH has been working the chain saw cutting away unwanted bushes. Still some flowers blooming and I picked this bouquet.

If I lived closer to my friend May-Britt I would give it to her. She is going through some sad times as her mother passed away on Monday.

Friday chat

Okay, new laptop and new ways of doing things. The method of uploading photos from camera to laptop has previous been by memory card. But do you know what? My new laptop does not have a slot for memory cards! I know my camera came with a variety of cords, but where did I put them? I know where I normally would put extras like that, but after remodeling the living room last fall I had found a new home for that mess in that particular drawer. I did put all that mess in a box, but where did I put that box?

Yes, I found it! In the attic… Very handy place to put it! I also found the correct cord and can upload photos now “smile”.

First photo is a Christmas project. This is a new pattern coming very soon. Sorry only Norwegian text.

Yesterday I did something I never done before but always wanted to try. Dipping candles. I did not have a proper tall dipping cylinder, only a tall preserve tin. It worked fine but the candles could have been taller in my own opinion. I am very pleased with my work.

Wish you all a happy weekend.

Hurrah

Hurrah, my new laptop is here and working! I’ll make this story short because I feel my mind boiling just thinking about the ordeal. My laptop had to go for repair twice. Third time I refused to take the same laptop back and got a new one. Things like this take time and all the setup and adding programs every time was just too much for my liking.

Anyway, I’m back on track and this is post is a test of writing and uploading photos.

Laptop problems

Long time, no see!

My new laptop turnes out to be just junk. It had to go back for repair after just a couple of weeks. Now it is going back again. It does not work properly. I want a new one!

I got really frusterated over this kind of equipment that is not working proparly. I just had to take a break. Hope to be back on track and back i blog land in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy summer time.

New Laptop

My old laptop caved in.  Time to get a new one.  Looking good but it takes time to install all the programs and stuff from my old one. 

Have a wonderfull week end.

Creativity in Bloom

Yesterday I released two new patterns. Sorry, but they are only in Norwegian.

This one is a wallhanging with stitchery and Jo-Jo decoration. The stitchery have sayings about being a mom.

A detalj of the mitter block.

Next pattern is a tabelrunner and candelmat with strawberry stitchery.

Strawberries can also be appliquéd.

Patterns for sale at several Quiltshops and Online shops in Norway and Sweden.  I’ll make a list in the sidebar.

I am already working on new pattern projects. My next project has something to do with Butterflies

I got the fabric and Zappa is gone

First of all, thanks to A Quilt Lady who saved me by sending 20 cm of the missing fabric.

Easter holiday have passed but with mixed feelings. Our lovely and playful cat Zappa has gone missing. He went for a walk on Palm Sunday and has been missing since. We have all over the neighborhood, called his name outside every garage. We have walked several hundred meters along E 18 and even turned a few dead cats along the way. No Zappa in sight. He has been missing for 10 days now.  I guess we have to come to terms that he is gone forever.
