At last the snow has come.. no more dark evenings. To day I went outside and found the snow sticky. So i had to make me a snow-lantern. I put a candle in it and ligth it this evening. It is beautiful.
Yesterday I went to a class with May Britt- it was needleturn workshop. A lot of A-ha from the girls. We all enjoy the class, and did great work..I will show mine next time .. It is not all done yet.
A lot of busy girls, not only sewing we also did a lot of chatting :-)
May Britt was staying at mine house.. We had a great evening with sewing and chatting... and a little wine:-) May Britt brought some kit - Christmas Bauble by Hatched and Patched. They was so great so I had to make some of my own...

There has been a lot of change in my house. I got a great joiner to do all the hard work. I'm going to hire out a part of the house. It is to big for me alone. So when May Britt got here, she brought new tools with her. I asked her to go and buy it after I saw it in a advertising. Ladies tool... all pink. So now I can decorate my wall by my self :-) All my photos and quilts are moving around...
This is my new sewing area in the sitting room. I can watch TV when I sew...
