We don't yet have a garden and I have'nt got green fingers, but I love flowers and have a few of them. And I fell in love with this one! The colour is so lovely, just perfect!!
And how is my other summerprojects going. Here you can see how this turned out. But I still wait for some flowers to come up ;) In the outdoor toilet I have only painted one wall so not much done about that, have'nt had time (good excuse..lol )

Yesterday I started stitching the pictures for the birthday cards I needed for today. Did'nt think I'll get them ready but I did, pheewww..Hope the girls like them ;)

It's been a bit boring day today and I could'nt come up with what to start doind so continued knitting on the scarf and later I did paint a bit on the house and then the table. The table I have to paint a few times to get it look ok.

Got the crochetted tablecloth ready. I like the way the colours turned up. It's the koolaid yarn I dyed the other day. And here is a closer pic of it ;)


Have been painting today..again!! My mum did help me but coz' she's afraid to go up on the ladder she did paint so far she could reach from the ground. So I had quite much to paint, but I like it so no problem ;) Going to continue tomorrow.
Did paint a bit on the table too and on something I'm going to post pics about later ;)

Would like to start a new crochetting, knitting or something..lol..uuuups :D

Crafty weekend

This old table I got a few years ago. Almost got rid of it coz' it's not in so good condition and I don't like the colour. But I like the old style on it. SO..decided that I need to do sometheing about it. And did work 2 hours on it today. To be continued later so you'll have to wait and see what happends ;)




And I started knitting a scarf ( woops..another scarf..I know..lol ;) ) yesterday and have done quite a bit already. Then I had to crochet with my newdyed yarn so started something small again.

Have also been painting a little today, cleaned two chairs, been visiting our neighbours and been playing with little E ..Pheeewww..sometimes days are like this. Soon I need a relaxing day ;)
And last evening we went to my parents and stayd the night there, so wonder when I did all this lol :D

Coffee break

Last evening I started a new knitting..again. I still knit you know ;)
Was up til about 00.30 and had to try out this new pattern. Then today I noticed I had started all wrong so had to rip up about 7 cm..grrr..and start over again.
Now I have knitted a bit and some more yarn is in the colourmixup also :)
Thought hubby needs a little surprice so had our coffee break outside in the sun. Mmmmmm...strawberry icecream and coffee.
I think I must have something for the light pink at the moment..lol ;) no wonder coz' it's my favourite colour!!
Does'nt this look romantic...aaaww..

The yarn turned out pale but I like it. It was just a test so did'nt dye so much, and had to come up with something small to make of it so I could see how the colours looks like.
I did use orange and strawberry koolaid.

After a while I found a lovely crochetpattern and made 3 small stars..hmmm...not sure what to call them in english..lol ;) But I can use them for decorating or like here under my teacup. I like the colourchanging on the yarn. maybe I need to make more of it, what do you think ;)

And..last evening I did'nt got anything knitted even though I had a knitting with me to mil's. We had so much work with the strawberrys so my finger is still a bit red :D

Feels a bit silly to be waiting for the new Novita magazine when I have all these to read. But have seen that others already got the Novita mag so wondering where my copy is.
Drömhem & Trädgård came today and I just love this magazine. So much about homedecorating in it and lovely pictures. Would like to sit down and have a cup of coffee and read. BUT we have no coffee :( so need to go to the foodmarket. And later we are going to mil's so think it's no reading today.
I did also try to dye some crochettingyarn. Hubbys friend went to USA and had some KoolAid and a bag as souvenirs for me :D. So nice of him. So now I can dye a bit again. The coulours on the crochettingyarn turned out quite pale and are drying outside at the moment. Going to be exciting to see what it's going to look like and what I come up with to do with it ;)

It's a lovely sunny day and I have done all the houseworks and the food. Now I have to look for a knitting or crochetting to take with me to mil's. Hope to get at least a little done this evening.

And I have got a few new ideas for things I wan't to do. But more about it some other time ;)

Have a good day!!

Sunny summerday..

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Do you still remember me (?!) if anyone is looking at this blog I mean.
Have had so much to do lately that I have'nt got almost any crafts done :( Wuups..almost lied now coz' last evening I did paint a small picture. And then I have been painting on our house. And most my time goes to get things done inside and outside the house + taking care of little E. STILL no computer and we did'nt put up the tv either. But have'nt been missing the tv at all, just some surfing on the net and chatting is what I miss.
Green shorts still undone, so is the cardigan and stitchings too. I feel sooo bad..buuhuuu..
Not done anything in such long time..how did it turn into this ?! OK have to admit that I have also started lots of new things and the painting takes time. Did paint a wall in the outdoor toilet too. So must be there my time goes.
Have a good day!!
