Winter is back - Kong vinter er tilbake

Enjoyed my morning coffee with this outside my kitchen window today.

Poor crocus, all smotherd in a white blanket.

Påskeliljene titter forfjamset opp av sneen.

Easter week nearing rapidly.

Den stille uke er rett rundt hjørnet, liker Påsken bedre enn jul egentlig, mye kos men myye mindre stress. 

Var ikke dette en søt måte å oppbevare restegarn på? Fikk plutselig en lysende ide (syns jeg selv). Praktisk og pent. Ser ut som evighetskuler syntes eldstesønnen :).

Put my wool scraps in a huge glass jar, rather pretty l thought. My eldest son thought it looked like a jar of brightly coloured sweets :)

Another card, picture kept turning on it's side and wouldn't listen to reason.

Take care and God helg (happy weekend)

Café i vårsola - Café in Spring sunshine

My boys set up an outside Café yesterday, by the playhouse. Spring is wonderfully early this year and almost all the snow has gone!!

Earliest Snowdrops ever here!

Middle son baked Muffins and little sandwiches.

Smallest son made the money to pay with

and Coffee, Juice and hot choc. drink.

And smallest son went and got a chair for me in the shed and a stool for my knitting basket.

Oldest son ran errands and sorted out a  counter.

A great Spring afternoon.

Våren er her, allerede i mars! Guttene mine laget kafé. De bakte muffins og fingermat, kaffe, saft og kakao i ettermiddagssola. 

God helg,

Have a good weekend

Hjemmelagde kort - Homemade cards

Sunny days with a promise of spring in the air. This is of course reflected in my cards these days.

Solskinn og fuglekvitter om dagene. En måned til Påske. Dette må jo bare gjenspeiles i kortene mine. 

oops.. seems l havn't quite let go of Christmas :)

Et julekort til slutt ;)

Marius sokker - Knitting, using up leftover wool

Mariussokker til datteren på 19.

Marius pattern socks for daughter (19).

A quick little make. Warm knitted socks are an important part of our winter attire here north. A nice way to use leftover wool too, creating cheerful patterns along the way (the Marius pattern was of course not created by me).

Sokkestrikking, super måte å bruke opp restegarn på, bare fantasien setter grenser.

Julekort - Christmas cards

Card making = therapy time! 

Keeping calm

and being creative :-).

Tv-free creative evenings.

Det er mye terapi i en times kreativitet hver kveld. Tv'n må vike for korttralla og en kopp te.

Julekort, bursdagskort og Påskekort.

Happy week everyone
