Sewn Pyjamas

Minstemann har fått ny pyjamas. Hadde stoffene liggende og brukte et mønster delvis tegnet av meg selv.

A new pyjamas for a young man. Went through my fabric stash and found enough for a set.

Weekend again.

May it be a good one for us all.

Hexagon quilt of recycled fabric - Hexagonteppe i gjenbruksstoff.

Idag er det rene snøstormen ute, perfekt for en stund med håndarbeid. Denne quilten skal beståav kun gjenbruksstoffer. Dongeri - fra familiens utslitte bukser, gammelt sengetøy fra 50 - 70 tallet, minstesønnens emils-skjorte m.m. Et skikkelig miljøvennlig stykke håndarbeid med andre ord, og full av minner.

A very snowy blowy cold day outside today, perfect for a little bit of inside sewing. This quilt is to be made of only recycled fabric. My families worn out jeans, 50 -70s worn out bed clothes, shirts etc. 

The world I woke up to this morning. Looks as if it will be snowing all day. Glad l don't have to take the car out today as there is no snow plough until this afternoon.

Welcome to new followers, so thrilled to have you along!

Landlige striper og skogtur - Scandinavian Country style and forest hike

I do so love soft stripes, I would prefer that to floral patterns any day, at least where table cloths go. I use Lavender water when ironing, makes the task a lot more enjoyable and the linen cupboard always holds a faint scent.

Jeg er så forelsket i myke landlige striper. Dette har resultert i at jeg har sydd nok en duk, 240 x 140cm. Den blå har allerede vært mye i bruk. Bruker Lavendel vann når jeg stryker, duften sitter i duken når man senere henter den i skapet.

A lovely fresh sunny Sunday today. - 6 Celsius and windstill. We wrapped up and wet for a couple of hours hike. Dog and cat running round our feet. Jenny found a moose leg, or the remains and dropped it proudly at Hubby's feet...juck ;).

50 cm of snow is forecast over the next week, so I suppose I had better do my shopping list and get that done tomorrow.

Minus seks og vindstille, strålende sol og blå himmel betyr søndagstur i skogen. Et par timer, lapskaus på bål og hund og katt i hælene. Ungene koste seg sånn. Jenny fant et elgben...eller restene...ærsj ;).

Dull winter days in dollhouse and real life - Dukkehus og innekos

Dollhouse 1:6

What better to do than snuggle up in a cosy chair with a warm blanket on a blowy snowy day.

My newest real life project.

Restegarnsteppe, nå skal alle garnrester brukes opp.

cosy wood fire burning all day, our own wood.

koselig med fyr i ovnen når vinden blåser og snøen laver ned.

Kosestund i dukkehuset også.

Teatime in the dollhouse. Knitting and reading while snow falls outside.

Candle light.

Vakre tindelys fra Løiten Lys.

Dorulldukke - Faux Vintage Toilet roll cover

Fant en liten dukke på ombruken, plukket av henne det pjuskete englekostymet og laget meg en god gammeldags dorulldukke. Det sto slike på mange bad da jeg vokste opp. Hadde ALDRI trodd jeg kom til å ville ha en selv ;). 

Growing up in Norway during the 70's and 80's, these toilet roll dollies were a well known sight in many a bathroom. When l found a small doll at the charity shop, l felt like making my own. Spare toilet roll under the skirt.

Voilà, faux vintage toilet roll dolly!

Glutenfri Nyttårsbuffet - Gluten free New Years buffet

Our New Years buffet,

made with love.

I take great pleasure in making gluten free a way of life. My middle son has Celiac disease and in my little flock

we are one for all and all for one!

If at first you don't succeed (in gluten free cooking) then keep on trying ;).

Mission for the future is to make gluten free taste equally good or better.

Last Nights food was sooo tasty and my boys (girl wasn't home ;)) were so pleased. Feel deeply

~Thankful~

Everything except the foccasia is naturally free from gluten by the way ;)

Glutenfritt har blitt en livsstil hos oss etter at mellomste sønnen fikk diagnosen cøliaki, vi er en sammensveiset gjeng og solidariteten hos brødrene er stor. Mine tre små musketerer : En for alle og  alle for en :)

Årets (fjorårets da) nyttårsmat, både surt og søtt, var 100% Glutenfri. Alle spiste til de nærmest trillet fra bordet. 

~Takknemlighet~

er det første ordet som treffer meg i hjertet.

Alt bortsett fra foccasiaen er forresten naturlig glutenfritt ;)
