Three simple headbands with the kids names on (in blending colors). Beaver nylon and woolfelt/fleece.

My friend has knitted hairbands for me, and in return I have made her this knitting bag.

I have made a small pocket inside for yarn and one for knitting needles.  

The outside are denim and the inside are cotton fabric from IKEA. The size are about 30×15x15 cm.

Since I don’t tend to sew much these days I’ll show you some of my other crafting. I have been making ring chains.

And these are my tools:

Today we have been walking in the mountains all five of us. A bit of chocolate now and then helped keep us motivated for the top itself.

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.
