A time full of joy and a time full of stitches
Hello all
To Bea-I start the fairy embroidery next weekend.So exciting.
Look at the pictures on the last update.
The dark period is here but I try to do some embroidery.
A.This is a small application of Raggedy Annie-well it was going to be that.She seems to have been eating a little bit to much.I made it as a Christmas present to a friend.Well I hope she likes it.
B.This is my first witch I´v ever done in cross-stitch and it was really funny.She is a combination of beauty and uglyness.Why not?!
http://atelierfeesbrodeuses-legouis.club.fr/nouveau_fichier83.htm
C.As I perhaps told you I'm a member of a handicraft course and ther we have to make patterns of our own.This is a print of it and then I took the motive in the middle and made a little cross-stitch embroidery with varigated threads in blue and dark pink.And it beame a little cat in the middle.Sorry the picture is so small.This took time but it was so funny to do so now I feel I can go on doing other patterns too.Not professional ones but ..
D.I found a pattern in a book where they only used these small stitches and made rows in different colours.This is a piece I only made to test the idea.I love it and I think I'm going on doing a purse or a small handbag or...later.In the japaneese sashiko they use these types of stitches and it's so decorative .You can use simple stitches and get so much effect.I love the idea.
I have a RR to do during the week and some presents to send away.Just now I'm also knitting a scarf for a friend.Soon we have Christmas and I love to do some small gifts for my friends.And I hope I can do some Christmas cards too.This is a lovely time but also a busy time and I have to work too.
Have a nice time

Winterday and Halloween cross-stitch
The 26th of October 08.50 I had this lovely wiev from my window.About 5" of snow in the garden.I love these days when it's not so cold.
I have done my first Halloween block.It's a mix of two patterns from Lizzie&Kate.Perhaps I do one in black and with another aida to get the motive bigger.

October-a month full of darkness ,time for cross-stitch and the first snow
The 25th of October we got the first snow.White and beautiful but cold.
Assissi embroidery is a lovely form of cross-stitch where you do the crosses around the motive.I found this pattern on a site from NewZeeland with many free patterns
My husband was hunting elks and I made one in cross-stitch.And he got no elk.This elk is from Anna 10/05
made a bird in cross-stitch, very common in Christmas time.I love the colours contrasting the white snow and the green trees
I'm going to use it for a patchworkblock.
The bird reminds me of winter and Christmas.This is a piece to a patchworkblock in crazystyle.

This is my latest doily.A lovely doily to do,a free form one but to arrange flowers and leaves took a lot of time.I loved to do it.Sorry to say I had problems to do it ready.My dear mother died the 11th of August and the time was so hard.Even if we knew her days were counted it came so suddenly.Well I managed to do it but....I miss her so .
The autumn is here with the lovely sun leaving us.Oh all these colours .Only a few flower left to bright our day.
We started the course and I was dying yarn in wool and cotton and also yarn in wool and cotton.I also tried to do patterns but I'm not ready with it.
I made 2 blocks with applications and one with an embroidery-both as gifts to friends who love to do patchwork or cross-stitch.Lovely works to do when you have little time but want to do something nice.These blocks are as honey for the soul.

A wonderful week
I have had a wonderful week full of joy and handicraft.Her we have had a lovely circus with many activities as son,dance ,jokes ans do on and in the same tent we were working with different handicrafts.This was for children and their parents or relatives but also if there were place other could participate in this.And I did.Even if I'm an adult I really enjoyed the idea to mix joy and handicrafts.Both the children and the adults we had a lovely time.
Oh My SP sent me the last gift,both Noro and mohair yarn and 3 sweet stitchmarkers.What a gift.Thank you my friend from Canada.
Here you can se the purse I made in wool fabric,Perhaps to my mobile.
And a bookmark in fabric and birch bark.
We had so many lovely materials we could choose so the creativity got help.Now I try to do another purse but I had not tome to do it ready.2 days .....so fast.
I also participated in Snowflakes in July crochet along on Crochetville .I want to go on with them later.This week was so full of activities.

All Mothers day in Sweden today 29.5 2005,a day we celebrate our mother.I'v got a
lovely Phalaenopsis from my boys and my husband.So lovely.They also made me a lovely dinner and the sunshine also tried to make the day .
The crochet felted mitten is one of the latest project.Also the cushion with the apple in cross-stitch I made ready for the exhibition we had with the products we made on our textile handicraft course.We had our last meeting yesterday and we were visiting an art weaver-Eva Hagström and Birgitta Zachrisson who works with wool,both making yarn and felting.We also visited a lovely exhibition of Elsbeth Lavold and her knitted things with patterns inspirated by the vikings.Anita Poromaa had a little exhibition with bracelets knittid by metal threads in silver.Lovely things too.What a wonderful Saturday.
On Thuesday I go to visite my son in the south of Sweden,he lives in Lund.On Saturday he goes to Japan studying japaneese.He comes back the first day in August.I hope he can give me more informations also about japaneese textile handicraft although he really is a computer geek.I'm so happy he can travel and learn more but also sad becuse he is a long way from home.Oh my mother heart.....but I'm so happy I have my youngest son still living at home and of course my husband.In Lund I hope I can find some nice shops withwonderful yarn,fabrics and.....flowers.As I live in the north we still have only a few flowers but we nearly have no darkness,the midnightsun is really wonderful when it comes.

Naalbinding and many thanks all types of congratulations
We have had lessons in naalbinding
http://www.regia.org/naalbind.htm
An old interesting form of doing warm socks and mittens,perhaps the eldest form of "knitting".I worked hard but but only a little test.I have to go on with it because you get a warm"fabric"..
I had a lovely bithday, a sunny day working with naalbinding and having a wonderful dinner with my family and many lovely presents from friends and family.I feel like a princess every birthday even if i'm a little older then the princess in fairy tales.
Enjoy life
