Litt av hvert.......

Jeg har blitt tagget av Rita ( for en god stund tilbake...!) og skal svare på følgende:

Oppfordringen er å ta den nærmeste boken, slå opp på side 123, finne den 5. setningen, og blogge de tre neste setningene; Jeg leser " The Vineyard" av Barbara Delinsky: "In his years at the helm, he had produced one remarkable vintage after another. Carl would know what to do now. He was definitely the one to call."

I have been tagged by Rita (some time ago...!) and am supposed to do the following:

Pick up the nearest book, in my case: "The Vineyard" by Barbara Delinsky.
Open on page 123.- Find the fifth sentence.- Post the next three sentences: "In his years at the helm, he had produced one remarkable vintage after another. Carl would know what to do now. He was definitely the one to call."


Her er mitt seneste sømarbeide, pute med det amerikanske flagget - kunne jo ikke la være...... Jeg har sydd den på bestilling - som det meste jeg syr, når jeg tenker meg om :o) På tide å lage et par til meg selv også!!!

This is my latest creation, a stars and stripes pillow, I just had to make one.....
As almost everything I sew, this one is made for someone else..... I think it's about time I make a couple of these for me too :o)



I dag ble jeg gjenforenet med mine joggesko, fantastisk!! Etter to ukers ufrivillig avhold kunne jeg legge ut på nye asfalteventyr!! Jeg får tidvis kink i ryggen og da bare stopper livet brått opp og jeg ser ut som jeg er 90 år og trenger stokk......
Er det flere som kjenner til dette??? Fryktelig smertefult!!!

Today I got reunited with my running shoes. We have had an involentary separation for a forthnight due to a herniated disc in my back...... Life just stops when that happens and I look like I'm 90 years old and in desperately need of a cane..... This happens to me on occasion ;-D Ever had the pleasure???? Awfully painful!!!



Litt brått og uventet befant jeg meg på kundesalg hos NOA NOA i går kveld. Jeg klarte selvfølgelig å plukke med meg både det ene og det andre ;-D Favoritten er nok toppen og jakken jeg kjøpet til minime2, hun elsker alt som kan tas for å være lilla!! En annen ting er merkelappene deres - jeg kan streng tatt kjøpe hva som helst bare de følger med......


Yesterday evening I was at a customer sale at NOA NOA....
Like a spur of the moment kind of thing..... I went home with a few new items, but my favourite is the top and cardigan I bought for mini me 2 she adores purple...
Another thing is the tags they have on the clothes (above), I can buy anything just to get one of them....



For å sikre meg sømprogresjon i sommer har jeg meldt meg på dette.
Peg fra Happy in Quilting har startet en utfordring som går på at man skal gjøre ferdig fem tepper innen 31 juli. Jeg har jo et par uferdige ting å ta av.... så her kommer det mer!! Bildet nedenfor er stoffer jeg leker med og håper at de engang blir noe stort ;-D

To ensure seam progression this summer I have joined Peg's " Finish five (quilts) by the end of July" challenge. I have a few items to work on - hopefully I get to finish some of them....Stay tuned!! The fabric belov is what I play with and look at these days, hoping they will, at some point, develop into something great ;-D



Søndags klemmer fra meg til dere :o)

Sunday hugs from me to you :o)

Make my day

I've been tagged by Anne Ida :o) I'm very greatful for that!

I now have the privilege to choose up to 10 people whose blogs bring me happiness and inspiration, and make me feel happy about Blogland.
I choose to tag seven, in order to not trigger my migraine more than necessary.... Does not go well with the computer.....

Nina at 9nas smutthull
Tracy at Pink Purl
Donna at Chookyblue
Rannveig at Timotei
Hulda at Huldas verden
Rita at Ritas lille verden

Wish you all a wonderful evening!!

I'm greatful for my creativity.....

A week ago Anne Ida tagged me, and earlier this week so did Celine.

I'm a bit behind these days - recovering from a stubborn cold. So I'll make an attempt to answer both of them to the best of my abilities :o)





Tag 1

1. When did you start to create and make craft?
Since the day I figured out how to use scissors....

2. Why did you start creating?
It was the way the world turned. We always made something when I went to school, even in kindergarden. It was enjoyable to make something, to create and see what it turned out to be. I didn't always have a plan when I started a project like I have thses days....

3. Why do you create?
A genetic need to express myself.... ;-D

4. What do you create?
I have sewn a lot during my years: clothes, quilts, national costumes, doll clothes, dolls and bags. I have also knitted a few sweaters and croched a few things. Embroidery hasn't really found its way to me, but I have emroidered a few items also. Then there is scrapbooking - which is something I do on occasion or take classes to be inspired. For a brief few months I also made jewelry.....

5. Has this changed since you began crafting?
Not really. I tend to try everything once, but my primary craft is still sewing!!




Tag 2

7 things or 7 reasons for which I am grateful...

1. My dear, wonderful, fantastic husband. I think I won that lottery!!!! :o)

2. The two blonde terrorists I call dughters ;-D

3. My shrink for keeping me sane

4. My sewing machine

5. My friends in blogland

6. Chocolate

7. My life in general


I know that I'm supposed to tag 13 people now, but that is a bit much at the moment, so I'll just settle for the job already done - hope that it's OK with you all ;-D
