The darkness and ..........................

The dark period of the year also have time of joy and beauty.Thr first little ornament is made on linen fabric,DMC and some metallic red and green threads.Sorry the picture is bad and the metallic thread is not shown well but.........
Outside the museum of Luleå they have these beautiful sculptures glowing in the darkness.So soft light in the dark afternoon.We had a knitting café on Satirday and we really had lovely chats and we were knitting and crochet and were talking about the everyday life and about our hobbies and.....so much inspiration
Near the busstation I could see these light installations.One more great inspiration this Saturday November 24.After that I went home and I felt so happy for all the inspirations and all the lovely people I met.

Happy Fathers Day

Today we celebrate Fathers day and it's a very special day even if my father has been dead for many years.He died when he was only 58 and I'm ................. Often I think about him when I think of our boys.He had been a great grandfather. During the day I have went on with Christmas gifts so I show nothing of what I'm working on.

Wish you a nice new week

Inspiration and thoughts

A letter with wonderful stamps I'v got from a friend gave me insiration to the granny square for today.The varigated yarn was really good for that.A visit I made to a textile group was the second inspiration useful for a mini quilt or a bag or a clutch or...I had the possibility to buy some fabrics,recycled ones,they have been hand dying.The blanket is a long time project but the mini.....is a November project. During this weekend we have focus on our dead relatives and friend.Many candles and flowers are on the graves and many of us take time to visit the graveyard. What do we use our days to? What's the most important?
