Sometimes I wonder why things went the way it does.....and now I wonder? I can't get my photos the way I want them to show. So now you get my day as a flashback....
This last week I have manage to finish some parts of stitchery quilts. We are some girls who are making this little Sun bonnets girls from Little quilts. Now October are done.And the mouse with scissors are the fourth part of Quiltmakers from the Freckles Collection. I also have started on The Wish Quilt after a pattern from Bronwyn Hayes.I got the pattern from Homespun. I have started on the last block of this quilt, so may be that are the reason blogger turn everything upside down to day?
To day I have got my self some great new thimbles.... I went to the big fair for used and old objects in the Vikingskipet in Hamar.( It is where all the skating happen during the Olympic Games in 1994.) It was a lot of sellers and filled with peoples keen to get all the best buyings.As you can see I got my part of the fun. I even got me some old clothes-peg.....
Hope you can see how big this fair are...I took this photo when we arrived.During the day it were more peoples coming, so it became difficult to walk and look what they all had to offer..
This is realy the first photo I want to show.... The Vikingskipet....It looks as a boat lying upside down.....
This is all for the day... now I have turn all my watches one hour back- end of summer in Norway. I have to wrap up some gifts for my oldest daugther, I'm going to visit her to morrow. We are celebrating her birthday.
Have a great day and I hope it start and ends the rigth way.....Hugs

Ups and Downs
This last week the luck has not been on my side..... First... I had to go to the dentist, I lost a filling.May be my home made bread had to mutch grain?
Second... My sewing maskine would not stop to spool. So now it is on its way to the repairer once again.....
And for the third have to pay tax arrears. I can't help feeling a little sorry for my self... :-(
But the weather has been great...almost that is...This morning it was 4 degrees below zero.Beautifull but cold. Winter soon???
But for the great happening.... I have got some great new fabrics. Lapphøna gave me a sweet fabrics and a thimble from Røros, after she had been there for a visit.And I got great fabrics from Nemo after she had been at Katrines Quiltestue... ;-)
I have manage to finish some of my smal goal this week. Easy to do small object when I have a lot to think about... I have made "The new couch companion" from Leanne's House and the Thread Catcher from Sue Daley Design. The last of the free patten from the Stitchery Angels Club. If the photo are kind, you can see the light fabrics are same sa the one I got from Lapphøna .But she got it in green. I love the little lady in the print... ;-)
I have also done one more of the Christmas Club kits.... Lovley Xmas Table Toppers From Hatched and Patched. It is so fun to work with felt.
Lynette asked at her blog if we could show Felix and Hugo some "old" items we had made from her pattern. So here yoy can see one of the first little bags I made.It is one of her weekend prosjects called A Bees Life Bag. I have done this months pattern of Noah's Ark - Tortoieses and Birds.Only four more small stitcheries to do...I feel the quilt will be great;-)
In the end for to day.... Jacob has somthing to tell.... (He dare to eat my home made bread. No fillings in his beak.)
Also He ask you all to take care and take care for all your friends. You never know when they need a little Hello and a Hug.
So big hugs from me to all of you. ;-)

Out for a walk...
Last week I took a walk to vistit Lapphøna and have some coffee.... Would you like to come with me? Ok come along, the road goes by the river and we can look at the mountain. The colour in the forest are beautiful this time of the year.You can just walk in silence enjoying the natur...
New scenery to look at all the time...
One little farm has some sheeps and a horse ....
Great colours in the ridge and old houses...
And at last , or may be too soon ,Lapphønas home and coffee.. I agree, it was a lovely walk in the sun..
But next morning it was fog again...and rain... And when the mountain come out of the fog it looked like this.... Yes it is snow....another grey, cold rainy fall day...
Of course it helps when the sun shine on the snow....
I have not been able to finish mutch lately, I have only started new one... But my Annies Calendar quilt are done and hangs on one of the walls in my sewing room. Lapphøna, Nemo and I made it last year as a BOM. I used fabrics and buttons from my stash. Some of the buttons are blue and some green and in two sizes, but I like it and I didn't have to buy anny new buttons.. :-)
I have also manage to finish a little wallquilt from Bornwyn Hayes book, Cotton Country Quilt.The hard part of it was to choose from all our new red fabrics in the shoop for the border.
Untill next time... take a walk and have a great time.... Hugs.
