Nøysomhet er en dyd - heter det, men nøysomhet kan også resultere i noe vakkert og varig. I helgen hjalp vi mine svigerforeldre å rydde utav det store gamle huset sitt. Svigermor fant denne skatten - min manns dåpskjole, sydd av hennes egen håndlagde brudekjole.
This past weekend we helped my inlaws clear out their big old house so that it can be put up for sale. My mother-in-law gave me this treasure: my husbands christening dress, which she made out of her own hand made wedding dress.
My mother-in-law is now in her 80`s.
we were also given these two - going to use them for storage, my little boy can put all his farm animals in that checked bag. Had one a lot like that myself back in the seventies.
Så fikk vi disse to. Tanken er å bruke dem til oppbevaing. Minstemann kan bruke vesken til å oppbevare alle bondegårdsdyrene sine i - husker jeg hadde en lignende på begynnelsen av syttitallet.
Ja hvorfor handle seg en masse plaskasser (ja, jeg har plastkasser også) på ikea, når man er så heldig å få slike ting.
Sunny picture taken a week ago, need more of this fellow here up north now. It has snowed most of the past week and more is on the way. I love the snow, cold and real winter - the great contrasts in weather that comes with living quite far north - but, as our plough now won`t start, it`s not quite so enjoyable. Thank goodness for four-wheel-drive or we should never get out of the yard.
On Tins Rose - check my blog list - I found a link to a great tutorial on diagonal crochet. Pictures, drawings along with a good description (in english) . It`s really interesting to do and looks really different to ordinary crochet.
Diagonal hekling, kjempegøy og intressant å pusle med. Det ser helt annerledes ut enn vanlig hekling. Tusen takk til Unn - Tins Rose - se etter henne under blogger jeg følger. Unn har en link til en kjempefin tutorial med bilder, tegning og god beskrivelse.
Ønsker alle som er innom en flott uke
Wishing anyone who might pop in a great week
Hugs - klem Pam x

SvarSlettLove the christening gown what a treasure...and the suitcases are wonderful and even a bigger treasure that they were from family!
SvarSlettboy do we have snow too!!
Hi Pam, thanks for stopping by my crazy blogs. We haven't had much of a winter here in Iowa, still no snow on the ground, I'm afraid we'll be lacking for moisture in the summer, but for now I'm enjoying the balmy weather!
SvarSlettLove your crochet work, I used to crochet many years ago when my daughter was young, but now many other projects have taken it's place...have fun and stay warm up there in the frozen Northlands!
