BOM and todays work

I simply love this BOM project from Lynette Anderson! The stitchery is small and perfect for a few hours work. Also the block plan indicates that this is not a big quilt. I simply love the idea of being almost done when all the blocks are done. I'm having great fun doing this BOM.


Last couple of days I have been working on more than secrets with my sewingmachine. Today I finished making thank-you-notes for every guest in my birthday party. I have not done any scrapbooking earlier, but the seating cards (is it called that??) turned out OK. The table was nicely decoratet with red roses, ivory and some glittery stuff in the middle. I used "glittery stuff" from the table decoration as a base on cardstock. I took photos of red roses from my garden because I forgot to take photos of the red roses on the table. I duplicatet the photos in passport size and cut out heart shapes. To make the rose-heart stand out I used some kind of foamstrips with glue on both sides to glue it on to the glittery stuff. All you educated scrapbookers know what I'm talking about. Pleace forgive me, this is my first attempt.
This is the photo I used for the hearts.

It was fun to play with photos and templets for cut out shapes. But no it's back to my sewing machine.

Tomorrow at 18.00 is the time for a winner of the drawsting bag.

Stay tuned!

Big Birthday Celebration

Oh boy have this last week been some week. Celebrating my 50th birthday was fun but exchausting. First guest arrived thursday 10th and last guests left today. Family and friends came from all over the country. I had a great day, no doubt.

May Britt came from Elverum to help DH with the arrangement. She was a great help. She set the tables beautifull with ivy and red roses. We had songs and speeches. I also got a reward! Sissel, May Britt and some other quilty friends have me the Black Belt of Shopping Award. I was so honoured and wore it proudly the hole evning :-) DH was proud too, he surely felt I deserved it! Hi hi hi.

The honor also came with a diploma. I need to frame it and hang it in my sewingrom.

Thanks to all of you who left greatings in my blog. I was so surprised. I guess Hanne had some doing there SMILE. Thanks again to all who made my day so special to me.
