Tuesday

One of my daughters was in need of a gift, so she asked me to make these table mats. The pattern is designed by AnnAKa. The green flowers are a little bit darker than the photo shows.

I have so many projects in mind. First of all I have to start on the quilt for DS and DIL. They have waited for some time! I'll use "Trip around the world"; beige/brown colours.
In a few weeks my sister has birthday, and I plan to make a bag for her.
It's 4 months till Christmas; time will show how many gifts I can make.
Believe it or not, but I also have a lot of UFOes! I want to reduce the number before 2009.
My loom has been waiting for me for a long time. I have 12 - 15 m warp left to weave rag rugs.
I can't be without a knitting project or two. I have just started on a new scarf; same pattern as the white one, but I use another sort of yarn.
Well, I have now problem to fill the spare time I guess :-)

I have always some knitting available,

and during the summer I have finished this scarf.

It's made of 100% wool.

A prize

When I came home from holiday, there was a package waiting for me from Denmark.

Anni - http://www.annischoice.blogspot.com/ - had a "contest" a few weeks ago, and I was the one who won. It's not often I'm that lucky. Thanks a lot Anni for all you sent me! I look forward to make the purse and do the stitchery.

Summer

After some travelling, I'm back home. It's nice to meet friends and relatives, but it's good to be at home again after some time away. We have had some fantastic summer days lately; almost too hot to do much. I enjoy looking at the flowers in the garden, especially some of the roses. They look great, and some of them have a nice scent too.

On Sunday DH, our youngest daughter and I were walking in the mountains. It's hard to find words; it was just great! I really enjoyed it.

Summer is not the time of the year when I do a lot of handicraft. but in between the travelling I have made a table runner ( again ) and a cushion. I made a cushion a few months ago, and the woman who got it, asked me to made one more. They fitted so well in her cottage.

What will be the next project? I have to think about it :-)

During the weekend I finished a few things. The weather has been quite bad the last days, so it as perfect for sewing.

Two table runners with almost the same pattern.

A blue bag which has many pockets inside.
