Pay it forward

It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift/send fabrics or yarn to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on the blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

The pay it forward I'm in now I found on kviltstinas blog.I made a difference in my promises as marked.


So come on and join me.To give make you happy.

A reminding of the cherry blossom in Japan

In CrossSticher Issue 197 I found a pattern in cross titch of cherry blossoms and I couldn't resist doing them.I know in Japan it's the time for these lovely flowers we never have here. I want to send all my friends all over the world a wish of peace and joy.Just now I have some days of winter holidays.

We have a tradition to take branchlets from the forest,branchlets without leaves ,and decorate them.We get green leaves in the end of May.Yesterday I was in a flower store and there they had painted ones.Love them.Colours and the contrast between snow and colourful things.The decoration is on my table but I couldn't get a good picture so I went out in the forest to get the right view.

Wonderful tulips for a Happy Easter

Enjoy the wonderful tulips.
Happy Easter to you

February Challenge

February,for me a month of flu and tiredness but also some lovely houres doing cross stitch to the challenge I'm in
http://sharonb.wordpress.com/take-it-further-challenge/
February-also a month focusing on memories from the past.
My childhood was in many ways very good.One thing I thought about was lovely blue flowers we sang about but I never saw them in reality but made in blue paper.Where were they?They were many kilometers from here.Made the memory in a pattern I found somewhere.

I was living near a forest I didn't love.I was afraid of the darkness and the dangerous thing I could meet there.And birds-I hated to learn about them.Crazy me.
Not until I met my DH I changed my mind.Here you find a lovely pattern with a bird.I love the free patterns she has,especially this.

I also remember the long winters.We often cut snowflakes in paper and it was so lovely.The pattern I used for this is

First of all I 'm in a challenge on Sharon´s blog

http://sharonb.wordpress.com/take-it-further-challenge/

and I wanted to do a biscornu inspired of my mother,a mother who learnt me a lot and who really gave me the strength to choose the life I wanted.She was a kind person and a person who loved the life and her family and friends.I thought of special sweets she liked and they were in bright colours.We had them very seldom but when...it was a real joy.

I also have done pincushion in other colours,inspired of the light we get in spring and summer.I long for flowers.

As we have winter just now I have done som products giving me some extra warmness.They are done in yarn I'v got from a dear friend,Kicki.Thank you so much.

I wish you a lovely time

Have a nice time

26 December and a day of calmness

Dear all

Thank you for all kindness and best wishes during this lovely holiday.
Today we get fresh new snow and we feel a special calmness now.It's a day with time for reflections.Peace on earth is so important and with that we could use our money and strength to fight against poverty and missunderstanding.I have uploaded some pictures to show a little about our Christmas.
