Linen Love

I have been unable to get this wonderful scarf out of my mind.

My dear friend, Vibeke, has posted about her lovely scarf

and I was tempted to buy one for myself.

I could'n resist anymore.....

If you need to spoil yourself - or buy a specil gift for a friend - you better take a peek here.

Scraphappy

Simple is good



 

These small fabric pieces are a perfect match.

 

Why is it, that fabric scraps make me so happy...

I love to use every tiny fabric scrap.

 

Today these tiny fabrics fill me with joy,

especially when they come from a friend,

who knows, how much I appreciate tiny scraps.

 

It's a very scrappy-happy-monday here.

 

 



weekend fun

yes, I try to de-stash,

but it don't keep me from spoiling myself just a little bit.

kits from Karen Marie

one flower kit and one owl kit

I made a lot of cross stitch many years ago,

but now I want to try freehand stitching instead.

Maybe I should spoil myself with one of Karen Marie's workshops.

Ready for a coffee break, when my hubby is back,

from his biking class at the gym.

He is coaching a team for La Marmotte this summer

Tonight: Hushpuppy

Happy weekend everyone.

cheerful colours

sometimes I help my sister in her shop named Barcelona

today was one of those days



it's a pleasure to work in her teeny weeny little shop with an amazing assortment of goodies

clothes, shoes, jewellery, cushions, bags and much more

 

I hope, your monday is happy too

 



pilea peperomioides

I have a passion for this green plant

these plants were tiny babies in the spring

..and I have quite a collection all over the house

they constantly produce news shoots

do you have a favorite indoor plant?

a summerday in the city

yesterday I went to copenhagen to hang out with a friend of mine

lunch outside, wine, talk, crafty time and lovely weather

who can wish more....

I also made a visit to one of my favourite craft shops, Garn-iture

the cheerful tins on the top of the shelves are lovely

there will soon come new ones in the shop

squared with room for craft supplies!

you can get knit and crochet patterns for adults too

some people think that the shop is only for kids

...then I'm a childish adult

my new stone

this is joy - a snail mail gift from abroad

a new necklace

a beautiful crochet covered stone

the stone is made by this talented crafter
here are a few photos from her blog

Parsnip and me

I did it - I finished my Parsnip tunic

and we are already best friends

it's an A-line tunic and as you can see, you can also wear it alone as a dress

- or with a pair of jeans

the pattern is featured in Purelife - the recycled collection by Rowan

yarn: Purelife Revive - a recycled Rowan yarn with tweed effect

I really like the yarn

it's hard to see the lovely colours in the yarn

my feet are happy and blue

strawberry picnic

things are a little slow round here these days

I got sick the morning after our return from Paris

it's bvvp and it's not over yet

some days are good and some are not

some nights are like a rollercoaster ride every time I turn in bed

it don't keep me from dreaming new dreams

long time ago I bought the strawberry picnic ....fabric bundle here

a peachy bundle of loviness

the peachy bundle should end up as a summer quilt

but nothing has happened so far

I still have another picnic quilt to finish

...and I also have the yellow quilt, that I want to make

I like bundles of quilts and crochet and knit blankets

perfect for crispy summer nights in the garden

tomorrow I will make plans and try to make dreams come true

have a wonderful weekend





monday

todays  purchase from one of the local charity shops

a vintage sewing table

it reminds me of my childhood

the basket underneath the table is perfect for yarn

it's a peachy monday here

my weekly day off 

home alone in a quiet house

just me and the table

colours

I need warmer days, sun, spring flowers

I love colours and there are luckily enough everywhere

todays favourites

....I'll confess my weakness

I don't know about you,

but I'm a sucker for fresh dish towels in cheerful prints and colors

here are a few new prints from H&M spring collection

my favorite is the one with the easter rabbit

I have my own stash of dish towels - hide away from the family

I use them in the bottom of the bread basket

over the bowl when I'm baking

if I give away homebaked bread, I always wrap it

in a fresh and new dish towel

...do you want to confess your weakness....!?
