The last post in 2010...

My SSCS 2010 gift.... this year I got it from Kris.. Thank you Kris I love it. Look I got this great bag. If I'm clever in 2011 I will fill it with gifts for Christmas made all through the year... Hm In my dreams may be...
When I got the bag this great Australian items was in it... A little cross stitchery, pencils, notpad, pot holders and a lot of chocolate.A great present. Thank you Donna for making all this fun happen.... Next year tooo ??? I do hope so :-)
I hope you all are having a great Christmas time... Jacob are pleased with "his" Christmas tree... So pleased as he walk on my data all the time...just to look at it ... or may be to eat a little on it.He are not easy to put in his cage in the evening, he are yelling and making a lot of noise, not easy for "santas litle helper" to go to sleep... ( I wonder if Jacob are a bit spoilt... )
Who Santas little helper are.... Emma of course... Are she not cute in her Santa dress :-) I'm so luckey to have her and her mum cellebrating Christmas here with me. :-)
This Christmas has been a binding - Christmas for me.... Magda ( my new sewingmashine) and I had some serious "get to know each other"-days. So stipling and binding was a great way to start:-) So now I got more on my OPAM 2010 list... 2 tablerunners..... One are a realy UFO and the other after a Annaka pattern, with a twist.... ( I have to learn to read the pattern)

Magda and I also start to make Mug rugs.... One for me...
Two for Nemo and her boy friend...
Four more as Christmas gifts....
I also manage to make some tablerunnere... two in red...
and two ligth one.. I made this 4 tablerunnere a while ago, but as it was Christmas gifts I could not show them earlier.... So now my list for the OPAM 2010 are compled....
I was hoping to reduce my UFO pile, but I don't tink I did that... So I hope to start 2011 in the pile.... Hm I belive I hear some one are having a nasty laugh.... Ok , ok I belive we all try the same...

But as this are my last blog in 2010 I want to wish you all a Happy New Year...
See you all in 2011.
Hugs :-)

Busy December....

I got a visit from "Santa" a few days ago....He didn't use Rudolf to bring my present, but a big truck. The parsel he brought with him was big too :-) Early Christmas for me.. :-)
Still I have mutch more to look forward to... - Meeting Peder and his parents - and Christmas visit of Emma and her mum, mutch more importen than my gift for myself, but the gift are somthing to "play" with after Christmas too..... Hmmm what the gift are..... LOL
My new sewing machine... Janome, Horizon,Memory Craft 7700 QCP. I have been playing a little with her, and she are GREAT. I have a lot to learn - so there are going to be fun to play with her after Christmas. I have a lot of UFO's to finish. I can't show you what we have been working on, 7700 and I( got to give her a name, but what shall I name her?? ) We have been making gifts for Christmas. A lot of bindings for me to do now.. :-)
I have got some great mailings lately too... My SSCS gift, with these lovely Christmas Ornaments . My secred Santa are Kris . She send me a big packet too - I wonder what it is, but I have been clever and put it avay untill Christmas. Thank you Kris and a big hug to Donna for making all this fun happen this year too ;-)
I have been busy this December... I have been on a quick trip to France visiting my brother and his boys just outside Nice. I brougth Christmas gift with me and got a lot with me home... Almost like Santa :-)
The view from their posh was fantastic. A lot diffrent from what I see here in the woods. LOL
It was a busy trip, with a lot of fun. I was so luckey to be able to come with the boys to their Christmas party at school, and meet the French Santa. No gift for me, but all the kids got :-)
I manage to grab some magazines to bring home with me.. More I want to make. I wish we could get these magazines in Norway...
It is a lot diffrent from France, the view from my posh, but they are both beautifull. Look at this cold winter sky. It is sunrise in -20 degrees..The world are beautifull- we just have to stop for a moment and enjoy it.
In the end of this blog I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas , hope you all will take a moment and look for the beauty in life. This photo are taken out of the bus window on my trip to France. This morning the world was blue and cold - 25 degree., I wonder how many small santas was looking at the bus. :-)

Next time I will show you what I have been doing latly. It is Christmas gifts.... :-)

Have fun and take care... Christmas Hugs :-)
