a little early this year.

Christmas around the corner.....

As it is close to Christmas,I have put up some of my " old" Christmas wallquilts.

This are a beautifull one,made by Red Brolly herself. Lucky me won it some years ago. 

As I have told before I got a gift from Nemo every sunday in advent. This box and kit 

are from the third sunday.I desided to do these small stitcheries at once,and to make somthing

from them..

......and here they are,new Christmas costers. ( I belive the pattern are made by  Nothern Quilts) 

On the last sunday of advent I got these great items...another box and Christmas tree decorations from Liberty and Starnucks.Thank you ,Nemo... next year too ?... ;-)

I have manage to do some small items for me ,not just making gifts

for mot friends and family. 

Two small tablerunnere and a little knitting bag. Both are from the Norwegian magazine

Quiltemagasinet. They where fun and easy to do. So now I look forward to the next nr.

of the magazine...

I play with yarn as well as fabrics ( most of the time with fabrics) Knitting 

are more easy to bring with me and I love to try new pattern.The Christmas mittern

are a mystery from a Facebook book page. 

And the yarn...is yarn dyeing made by me :-) Realy fun to do. I use food coloring. 

Now I have to find a great pattern to knitt....

There has been some beautifull days before Christmas where I live. 

It is almost like live in a Christmas card. 

I hope you all will have a great Christmas - with a lot of quilting and knitting. 

God jul :-) 

Closer to Christmas ...

ØTo day I got a lovely parsel in my mailbox. 

My SSCS gift.... all the way from Australia..

In side there was two gifts, one to open at once and one to put under my Christmastree.. 

In the little gift there was a tree.. a beautifull little treeornament. 

I hope it is OK for my partner if I copy the idea and make 

me more!? 

Thank you for the gifts my SSCS partner and thank you Elf Donna 

for making this fun happen :-)

2.sunday of Advent.

There are just a little snow where I live,and soon it is Christmas...only 20 more nights. A lot to make and a lot to bake... busy fun days getting every item and gift ready. Some gifts have to go in Mail and some I have to bring myself. Talking about gifts and Mail.....my gift for my SSCS partner are in Mail and on it's way out in the world.. 

This are the second year Nemo and I are making ( buying) gifts to each other. 

Look what great surprises I have got. 

On the first sunday I got this cute box filled with memories from our London trip. 

4 thimbles from London. Luckey me :-)

On the second sunday ,to day,I got another tiny box, this was filled with 

buttons to mark my knitting and quilting items. I got one more memory item 

From the trip,a Harry Potter bookmarking. Almost to great to use. It deserve to be used 

In a " stay at home book" Thank you Nemo :-)

And this is not the end of the fun... I still got two more gifts waiting for me..

I'm so looking forward to open them... :-) 

I hope every one have a great advent,busy getting every thing ready for 

Christmas evening og day..
