New Pattern

Time to give you an update on what I've been working on. This is my latest pattern. Folder and pincushion for sewingmachine needles.

The folder have 12 pockets for sewingmachine needles. Innside it looks like this.

I've used beautifull red & white fabrics from Chelsea Manor by Bunny Hill.

Class - My sewingbag

10 days ago I went to Tysvær to give classes in making My sewingbag. 9 ladies participated, but only 7 present when this photo was taken on sunday. Great group.



Tysvær Husflidlag had a great location for classes. Absolutly perfect.

Here are some of the bags.




I dropped by my mom on the way forth and back. Stayed a cople of days. Mom had signed up for classes here in Grimstad last weekend, so she came along when I returned to Grimstad. We went for a walk in the woods picking mushrooms and had some days for sewing.

In this photo mom is getting ready for her handbag class with designer André Wallenborg.


Yes, painting her toe nails!

Sneek peek

As promised a sneek peek on my latest work. Blue Java is my latest pattern. Not all finished yet (as you can se, the buttons are not sewn yet.)


Last night DH and I had a three course dinner at home. Normaly DH cook weekends, but due to poor mobility I had to cook this weekend. I'm so spoiled that I have not cooked weekends in 15+ years! I did not make the intire three course. DS2 brought dessert from our local gourmet resturant where he works. Panna cotta with berries in season. Delicious! DH is allways giving Gizmo treats. He loved Panna cotta as you see :-)


Today I have been walking the woods picking more mushrooms. You know, this is the season :-)

This is my favorite season

When I say this is my favorite season I mean it.  Walking in the woods picking different kinds of mushrooms and berries is my favorite time outside the house.    Iv’e had a few trips to my favorite woods, but liveing where I do, it’s still dry and early season.

I guess autumn is my favorite season.  The air is clear due to regular rainshowers, still temperature is agreeable.  This is the view from our terrasse.  The ocean you see is Skagerak.  Next mainland is Denmark, about 80 nautical miles.

Next photo is a zoom in just to show you a bit of our  fantactic islands and reefs.  Now midt August most of the tourists have left and we reulare habitants can have som peace and quiet :-)

 

Playing nurse I get a lot of time to stitch.  I need to bee available when DH need to raise or sit, need something to thrink or eat.  Too much calling and shouting  if I  lock myself in my sewingroom……..

Anyway, I stitch.  I have finished this Leannas House stitchery.

 

And have started this one from Homespun Magazine.  I miss the one with the chickens inbetween.  I have the pattern so it will be my next project.

I am working on my new pattern projects too, but this week have not brought me as close to finish as I wanted.  

I promice a little peek this weekend.

See you soon.
