Ønsker til jul

Denne gang på dansk:) Er der nogen der har lyst til at se, hvad jeg ønsker mig til jul?

En fin bakke tegnet af Ingela P Arrhenius. Støtter tilmed UNICEF
En skøn vase lavet af Lili Scratchy
Et farverigt tæppe fra House Doctor kan passe fint i vores stue
Da jeg er begyndt at drikke mere te på det seneste må disse theholdere være gode. Gerne kombineret med en god te. F.eks. grøn bambus fra Perchs Thehandel
Skriver mange breve og vil gerne dekorere dem med fine stempler. Derfor ønsker jeg mig dette stempelsæt
Da jeg tit har bøger og hækletøj med mig rundt omkring, og jeg gerne vil gå flere ture, ønsker jeg mig en lyserød rygsæk. En Fjällräven som den jeg havde i 1981 dog i en ny farve...
En sød mobiltaske kan man vist altid bruge
Ved ikke om denne lampe helt er min stil, men skøn er den
Har i forvejen en del forskellige kopper i mit køkkenskab. Flest med Mummi-motiver. Men jeg kan altid bruge en til, og denne er supersød til min morgenkaffe

Kan ikke få nok af tasker og indkøbsnet
Denne uglepude er SÅ FLOT og vil se så godt ud i min sofa!

Jeg er rimelig sikker på, at det bliver lidt sjovere at smøre madpakker til drengene, hvis det foregår på dette skærebrædt.

Det var nogle af mine julegaveønsker. Hvad ønsker du?

These are some of my gift wishes for christmas. What do you wish for?

My inspiration

My inspiration often comes fra children's books. Do you remember this? Or this?

This cute book is written by Caroline Bruce and illustrated by Ingela P. Arrhenius

I promise to show you the finished result here on my blog.

I feel lucky - so I'm entering another giveaway at The Crafty Crow. Please stop by and take a look at the lovely felted ornaments you can buy if you don't win.

Weekend with friends

I've enjoyed the weekend with friends and family. Saturday we spent most of the day with Annika and her children. I helped Annika with a jumpsuit for Zoe. We unravelled the feet and since I love to recycle, I used the scraps of knit from the feet to make this small owl.

I showed Annika how to crochet. She's such a fast learner! Looking forward to seeing what she's using the crocheted circle for.

I'm so lucky! I won a giveaway from Cathy Cullis. I love her poetic machine embrodeiry, her poems and melancolic paintings. I'm very thankful for the adventures Blogland offers me:) Off course I'll show you my prize, when I receive it.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend...

CAN WE MAKE A DEAL?

I desperately want this vest from Pickles. They sell the greatest yarn and they offer a lot of free patterns. I'm just so sad, that I can't knit.

I guess I'm gifted with a crochet talent... I'm very thankful for that, but I'm thinking... Could we make a deal? Is there someone out there who wants to knit me a vest or a sweater from a pattern I choose? I will pay for the yarn. In return I will crochet you what you want from my blog. DEAL?

Another birthday in the family

My husband's birthday today. I embroidered the card for him. He was very pleased with both gifts and card

Freshly baked buns. Thanks to Sif Orellana and her book "Krudtugler og kanelsnegle" I was able to make a dough close to midnight yesterday. Baked the buns early this morning and made my husband happy.

Rainy day

Inspired by this wonderful blog... Have a nice day. Must do some reading now...

An ode to Sonia Rykiel

This crocheted sweater was made as an ode to Sonia Rykiel, the fashion designer. I think it was Moloko who made an album called "Do You Like My Tight Sweater"?

Silas 8, made this fantastic portrait of my husband - his father

And this is me...

Owls...

Made this owl brooch yesterday. Wore it today to look wise. I think it worked:)

Crocheted owl. Made it up as I went along. Do you remember my other owls?

Please enter this blog for a wonderful crochet GIVEAWAY!

Patchwork and stuff

Patchwork circle - what should I do with it? Any ideas?

The bracelet I gave as a birthday present to my friend, Barba, the other day

I have a lot of plans in my head these days. Want to make big changes in my life. Wish me luck!

Please check out this giveaway. It's great.

New members of the family

I really like birds...

and a seal with a cape...

Uh, baby it's cold outside...

Knick-knack seal with a new hat to keep him warm

And his mother with a scarf

I smiled when I made these accessories for the seals. They make me happy!

An old memory game. I don't like the smell of it... kind of old basement smell... but it looks beautiful, I think

Some of the pieces. Click to enlarge picture. Love the seventies style...

Last but not least: a doll for a customer in the shop - Astas - in Copenhagen

Crochet and street art

Not the best picture, but wanted to show you the mobile I crocheted some weeks ago

Street art from Århus. Really love street art. Want to make some myself. Do you remember this?

Small card made by me. I sent a greeting for my mother a long time ago. She kept the card...

Silas 8 years today...

Love the colours. Vase from a flea market a long time ago. Aluminia Tenera from 1961 I think

My kokeshi doll has been stylished

Wristwarmers made by my mother from this free pattern

Silas turned 8 today. Happy birthday big boy. I love you...

DIY - Branch mobile

Find branches in different sizes in the woods. Crochet small bands for the branches

Fold the band around the branch and sew it together

Here's my collection of branches

A closer look

Use fishing line to hang the branches from the ceiling

A very relaxing feeling to look at the branches moving slowly
