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

Wristwarmers
Hello all
I have had a busy week but I have done the mittens ready but no embroidery and soon the wristwarmers are ready.I have also done 2 small hearts in cross-stitch to use on a patchwork block and one for a small bag to a secret friend.I'm so happy to have a little time to do something just for joy.As I have a full-time work it's hard to fullfill all dreams
We have just a lovely wintertime with snow and not so cold days.The daylight comes but still we have to dark to feel the real happiness.
This weekend I go to Gothenburg,a town on the west coast of Sweden.I'm going to visit the WorldCulture museum and a lovely yarnshop,I think it's called Sticky.During the weekend we have a meeting about weaving.
As I already go on Friday morning I wish you a wonderful weekend.I hope I can send some pictures to this blog next week.

I want to show you the lovely presents I'v got from my winter Secret Pal on Crochetville,Lori Carlsson.
I just love the doily she has made for me in my favourite colours.And the DMC in different qualities and different colours.
As I do crochet,embroidery ,knitting,patchwork,knitting.....I really know the good quality and the many different colours they have,they are lovely to "paint"with them ,even to crochet and knitting.Cross-stitch is one of my many passions.
Yesterday I started to do a cloth,cross-stitch on linen/cotton.The patterns are printed on the cloth and it takes only a few hours to do.
We have had a lovely day with snow and not so cold .This morning I started with organization of yarns and fabrics and I'm very rich.Everywhere I found kits or...materials for projects not done and not possible to do if you only have one life.
I'm going to start a new knitting on Friday.Until then have a wonderful time.Enjoy life and take care of you and your family and friends
