Ugly Mug Award

In previous post about reveiving and passing on this award I forgot the picture of my mug. However, this is not my ugly mug, but my favorite mug. It is a Freia chocolate collector mug # 5 from Porsgrund Porselænesfabrikk. I use it for coffee and have chocolate to go with it. :-)


The award was presented to me from Marlene at Sipiweske Quilt. She had received this award from Megan of The Bitchy Stitcher blog.

Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

I am so frustrated and mad! I can not send e-mail just receive. I have lots of nice comments left on my blog that I would like to answer, but I can not get them to leave my outbox! However I have gotten words that some are going through - up to ten times!!! Still the same e-mail is left in my outbox. I can not close my e-mail connection untill I have deleted all e-mails from outbox. Grrrrrrr!! Computering is fun - - when it works !!

My e-mail provider is in big trouble if my e-mail does not work soon!!

I apologize to all of you visiting and leaving comments.

New glasses

I normally wear contactlenses to correct my bad eyesight. Being past 50 it's not enough anymore. Yesterday I picked up my new reading/ working glasses that I have to use in addition to contactlenses. It's not easy to take a photo of my self!! How did this go??

Grrr, I look awefull!! New attempt.

Is this my best side??

Or this?? As you can see, not at my best. But my glasses looks nice and work as they should!

Today I received my custom made tags. I love them. Now I'm looking forward to work on gifts and things for Christmas. May be some patterns too.

Take care.

What I'm working on ...

I have been very buzy lately. I am preparing for Golden Shears World Championship 2008.

No no no, I am not compeeting!! This event have mostly been arranged in Australia and New Zealand. I think once in Scotland, UK. This time in Norway and Bjerkreim, a very small comunity. A lot of people have put down a lot of work to make this a successfull event. Mom and I are having a salesboot selling handcraft and patchwork items. Keep your fingers crossed! Off cause both mom and I hope to make good sales.

Yesterday I made cows and cats to cover wine bottles. I have prepared for making sheeps too, but time run out! Had a lot of fun making them. As your can see, only one cow and one cat have a face. I'm working on the rest to night.

A dear friend of mine is having a birthday next week. I have prepared a little something to be sent off tomorrow. May Britt is the one having her birthday on Tuesday. Help me make her birthday very special by leaving birthday greatings on her blog. Include a coment : Nancy told me to!

I will have no time for blogging next week, but hopefully I will taken a few photos to post.

I'll tell you more about sheeps, woolhandeling, machine shareing, blade shareing and world records. SMILE. I have an idea what's it all about, but that's it. SMILE. Don't count on me for an expert report!

Have a joyfull, playfull and sew-lovely weekend.

Look at this beautifull tote. It has a beautifull flower stitchery in heart shape in the front. Look at those cute little red halfcircles on top? It looks like its made of yo-yo's. I red your blog that this is the second bag you have made. You do excelent work!

There is more! Anna also sent me chocolate, (yammy yammy - it's allready gone!), 4 fq of fabrics, a quiltmagazine, excelent smelling showercream and cards. Thank you so much, Anna, for wonderfull gifts.

Lindas Bag/bucket swap was a great idea: Now I regret not signing up for more swaps. Thank you Linda for hosting this great swap.
