The tote bag is ready.Time for dinner in the north of Sweden.

The tote bag is ready.I made a simple bag without any special pattern-I used the stack ans slash blocks and added blue fabrics for the rest.The hand dyed fabrics are just wonderful to work with and I really recommened the stack and slash blocks.Let the fabris play together.

Blocks in stack and slash in hand dyed fabrics and fabrics for the rest of the parts of the bag.

Spring is in the air.

The little fabric page is made on the theme "spring is in the air" and I combined the love of tulips ,"a very much spring flower for me",and the snowflings falling in our part of the world in March and April.These fabrics are hand dyed and I also made embroideries with beads and DMC pearl yarn.

World yarn swap on Ravelry-a package from New Zeeland

Yesterday was a very special day when I got this lovely mix package from my swapfriend in New Zeeland.As you can see she made a lovely combination of items for knitting,embroidery,patchwork and my passion for tea.The colours give me a reminder of the spring we are waiting for.Just now we have a lot of melting snow bur also a light snow fall.The birds are singing so a warmer period is coming.
Thank you for brightening up my day.
