It´s raining and raining and raining......

.....but here inside by me it´s warm and cosy. I don´t have to go to the beach, no picnic and no barbeque tonight, just sitting here by my sewing machine. It´s wonderful, isn´t it.....positive thinking. Of course I want to do the summer things too, but when I can´t, I like it here together with my fabrics.

A couple of weeks ago I found an old project on my shelf and went on finishing it. It was my guardian angels which I started when a friend of mine really needed guardian angels. But life turned into another direction and the angels were put aside. Until now. I finished the quilting, stitched the pillowcase together and made the bindings.


 Here is the result, a pillow and a wallhanger.


 On the pillow I stitched in two different colours.


 On the wallhanger I only used one colour but made an applique cloud.


I added two blocks to the wallhanger as a decoration.

Then I  made a pattern of the project, "Guardian Angels". You will find it in the shop on my website.

Now I´m going to eat some yummy, Swedish strawberries for lunch and at the same time visit the nice blogs I´m following. I think I will have a wonderful lunch break.
Update: For some reason Í can´t leave comments on your blogs....frustrating! But I love what I´ve seen and read.....
Later I´m going to scan a photo of my mother and her friends. It´s about 70 years old. Then I will make a stitchery out of it, and in the end it will become a wallhanger together with fabrics from the 30s.
More about that next time.

I´m proud of myself today!

I have tought about some kind of make over for my blog for a long time now and today was the day.
I decided to make it look like my website. Then I managed to figure out how to fix the header and the background to fit into Blogger´s templates. It wasn´t easy but maybe I´m smart or just had a lucky day....
Then I fixed the labels and gadgets and now I´m satisfied with how my blog looks.



This is what he looks like. A brown and green little man with a big heart....maybe he´s in love?

Now I will go on cleaning up the mess in my mailbox and my laptop and...lots to do. It´s so satisfying having the strength to do this.

 I think today is a good day, wish you all feel it that way!

Pieces of a cat


It´s time to put them together and make a new cat. 
I´m sorry that the picture is a little bit pale, but in real life is is light green.

Grandma has moved in


The cat isn´t alone anymore. Grandma gives him his favorite food and he purrs like an engine. Everything is purrfect while they are waiting for the next neighbour to move in...

Welcome to number 7!

Do you remember my house?



 It´s spring, flowers have grown in the garden.


Knock, knock, is anybody home?

Yes, I am, I was the first one who moved in. Tomorrow I will get a neighbour.
