Must post pics of the gingerbread house we made with my sister at christmas. Was a bit difficult to get the pieces to stick together so I'm not sure if it's going to be a house next year ;)

This cap was a one day project. Made it a few days ago. Have got a red one from before :) My sister says they don't look nice at all ..lol..But I don't care about that..ha..ha :D

Made only 4 christmas cards this year. So it was bought ones this year ;)

I want to wish you all a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Big plans like every other year..to make presents and cards..
So how did it go this year ?!Not one gift made and just a few cards..
NOT good :(

So there's the evening plans made..hoovering and mopping..blaah..

Hope I get some time over for knitting :) Better get going so I'll get all hw's done fast..

Did bake some gingerbreads today.. It's some bought pastry. I don't like the taste of it so much, but wanted to try it anyway..lol :D
Would like to bake some with ownmade pastry soon ;)

When I was to the shop the other day I was just going to take a look at the yarns there..but somehow three yarnballs came home with me :D White and pink..lovely colours.
When I was going to take a pic little E came and wanted to play with the yarns...like always. No wonder my yarns are in a big mess so often :P

And you can see I now found the right theme for my blog that I'm happy with. ( have been looking around, testing, etc ;) ) I also want to add my favourite song here with the lovely winter movie..Hope you like it.
It brings tears into my eyes.
Have seen it about hundreds of times since I was a little girl.. :)

Small kids socks are so easy and fun to knit so here is another pair ready. :) Not sure if I'll start new ones rightaway or continue on some other knittings I have on the needles.

We still have this awful stocmachbug in the house :( Hubbys been sick and Little E too. Feels like we are sick all the time..

Here is pictures of the shawl I made. Knitted with needles nr 10 and hook 5,5. Used kitten mohair yarn. It's 175 x 85 cm.

Got ready another pair of babysocks. Novita Nalle yarn. It's nice and colourful :)

And here is a small yarnangel :D I mad 6 of them last evening. Going to give two to grandma and the rest of them I put up in the window. They look cute ;)

So it's gone a while since last time..

Have'nt been much into blogging coz' we have been sick over here. Had a stomach bug and Little E has been sick too, still is. Had eye and throat infection, the stomach bug and at the moment ear infection. Pheewww...really hope we soon get better.

Have knitted a scarf ready and a small pair of socks. Going to post pics later.

On yesterdays bobbin lace class I started on a new desing and I like it much. Did also continue on it when I came home :)

My friend Debbie sent me a Tigger & Roo 3D christmas card. So cute. And the other one is from my secret stithcer in the card exchange I'm in. THANKS!!

So at last..my new books. Wogue knitting Shawls ( don't have the same front like it was on the book I ordered but same name so I guess they just changed the front picture) and Neulojan Käsikirja with lots of different types of knitting models..yeiiiii :D

Hope to get all the wip's ready now so I can start something new..or...I did already start on some socks today ;) But it's going to be a fast project I hope.

After work we went to mils and had a relaxing time with good food, some tv and then the sauna.

Did miss the programe Strömsö on sunday but it came again today so we had luck to be near a tv..lol ;)

Have done a bit knitting on a christmaspresent and I do hope I get it ready in time!!

Last evening I did some crochetting , just need to fasten some loose ends and then I'm ready with a project I have been working on for quite a while now :)

Mmmm..is'nt it nice when husbands helps in the kitchen.. I got this good meal today :D

Still has this project on the needles and it feels like I never get it ready. Now I have lost the pattern too and can't find it anywhere. Been knitting on this today.

I like angels, white and candles so here's a pic taken in our home.



Had to bake something easy to go with the coffee so made these biscuits, mmmmm:-)

And some music for this dark saturday evening.. :D

Thought Little E needs a haircut. Not much..only a few centimeters :D I love the curly hair so don't wan't to cut it away...

Not much knitting done the last few days. :(

Feels like I get up in the mornings, then work, so home and soon to bed then work again..pheewww...blaaahh :(

Have'nt yet made any decisions about workthings so everything is a bit mixed up at the moment, and it mixes up ME even more..ha-ha!!

Was wondering if anyone know any nice free templates, skins for blogger blogs????

I like this one but you can't add comments to the posts and it's not so nice :(

Please put a link in my chat box if you know anything and wan't to share..ok ;)

Todays project has been this colourful knitting. Not yet telling what it's going to be ;) So better come and take a look soon again :D

Had a great day with my friend at the craft show. Went in the morning and came home a while ago :D
Did some shoppings, and would have loved to buy so much more..ha-ha..Like always.
So much inspiration and ideas I got from the show too.

My shoppings:

Novita Aino and Huopanen yarn
On Line yarn
Felted flowers
Reflector thread ( not sure about the right word for it ;) )
Gold thread for bobbin lace
Coloured wool
Pearls

In a shop there near I found this bracelet and fell in love with it right away coz' the glass pearls are just my colours. Light pinc, lilac.

And from the show I got the picture of this beautiful angel. And bought the frame from a shop.

Already made a plan that we are going next year again :)

I think I must start to save money already lol ;)

Made this easy and simpel wash cloth tonight.

On yesterdays bobbin lace class I got the new threads and I continued on the lace. It was a nice evening and I got a bit done. Not much you can see there ;)

I also got a new design of a heart that I would like to do someday soon.. Have in plans to use the read thread for it and the yellow for a star.
Shoulder and neck is'nt much better :(

Had a look in artist Anu Tuominens book today and she has craftworks that I like. There's something fun and different about them and they give inspiration. They tell much and are humorous too. Thought I post some pics of her art here :)
