Iceland!

In october we are going where I have been wanting to go for years. I am looking forward to it like a child waiting for Christmas. Now I plan reading a guidebook to be prepeared.

my blog is back on track! That means I’ll keep on posting some of my blogposts translated and most of the tutorials/patterns. That is - if I haven’t scared away all readers with the latest days blogproblems.

You might want to update your rss-feed. See you!

I hope you all have nice summer days wether you are having holidays or are working. I am having holidays and enjoying it at home. Our kittens are learning new things about the garden life every day. They are more afraid of the neighbour cats than of the hedgehog.

A sweather I bought long time ago has been lying around. Much to big for me, even for training (when I occationally do activities like that) and not my boyfriends style. Today I grabbed my scissors and cut it apart. The arms became small pants - about size 18 months. The body became larger pants about size 110. Hopefully we now manage to wear it out. I had to supply with some fabric to finish the pants, but pretty good recycling anyway.

 

I made this dress to test a pattern for a viking apron dress from some kind of poly material

I plan to make the viking dress from wool (with an linen underdress). The pattern worked out well. 

I am holding our little cat Isis.

Here Isis is with her brother Kvitevase (wich means something like a bundle of white). Our girls have named one of the kittens each.

Robert Kaufman fabric once again. Pocets planned from the start this time and it’s amazing how much faster the pants vere to make…

Our eldest daughter plays the flute and I have promised her a bag for the flute, the note book and cd’s. The fabric with notes on the outside is a zippered pocket. The bag can be worn as a bagpack or on only one shoulder.

I have made a pair of knee long pants today for my “little” boy. He refused to even look at them at first, but after I added to front pockets he even tried them on…

 

Then he ordered two more pockets on the back side.

Grooo, Kummin and Bine. Please send me an mail oheleneAToheleneDOTnet with your adress and I’ll post your prize as soon as I can.
