Baby quilts

These two baby quilts am I quite pleased with. I think they turned out all right. I’ve done two winged hearts to the quilts in matching fabric. The quilts are the most expensive things that I’ll be selling at the Christmas market. Only 5 days left…

Christmas stockings

Here in Sweden it’s not so common to have Christmas stockings, but it seems to me that it is getting more widely spread here too.

It is two weeks left until the Christmas market and I’m getting a bit nervous. I maybe don’t get a thing sold!! But if that happen I sure have a lot of Christmas presents to give away… :-) Lot’s of Christmas stocking fillings…

Makeup bags

This summer I learned how to sew zippers. I think I’m getting a hang of it; I’ve done several makeup bags this week…

Sorry for the crap photo but it don’t seem like I can get it any better. Tried both with and without flash. The best way to get fine photos is to take them outside in daylight, I’m told. But today it has been very dark and rainy. I want snow so the days become a bit lighter!

Fathers day

Yesterday it was Fathers day. I’ve made a card for my father, a photo of him and me, and a poem about being a father. The photo is from the early 70’s as you maybe already discovered, judging by the clothes…

Christmas book

Tip of the day: By this book!
It have many nice ideas for Christmas decorations, both sewing and paper craft. I’ve done the Christmas stocking, the winged hearts and this little sleepy angel from patterns of the book.

I’m switching to Blogger Beta so it may not look like it use too on my blogg. I’m trying to get a hang of it and hopefully it will be as usual here in a while!

Here is some winged hearts waiting to get stuffed and sewn together.

Wall hanging for Christmas cards

This is also for the Christmas market where I will be selling my stuff. You need somewhere to put all your cards that you receive in December, why not in one of these?

Button heart

I have made a birthday gift for my sister in law. I’ve glued some buttons on a “deep edge frame” and put a bit of lace on it. The lace belonged to my sister in laws grandmother. I will do one for my daughter too, with my grandmother’s buttons. I think it’s nice to recycle old things and use them in a new way.

More aprons

These aprons are made from kitchen towels that I cut in half. I’ve decorated the pocket and put some red ribbons on the aprons. Very easy to do!

Hearts

These past few days I’ve been sewing a bunch of hearts. I maybe will sew some more, but with other fabrics. I’ve also started to do a few more aprons, which is really fun to sew!

Help!

Last week I was checking out the place where I will be selling my things, at the Christmas market. It’s an old stable. It’s a beautiful place with old cute houses. So, did I have the camera with me and took a bunch of photos to show you how it looks like? Noooo, because I’m a bit senile…
I don’t know what price I should have on my things that I will be selling. Do you have any suggestions? Please help me!
Here is some of the stuff I’ll be selling:
Aprons

Big hearts

Small hearts

Textile "pots"

Christmas stockings

Wall hangings for Christmas cards

Wristlets

Makeup bags

Tissue holders

Shopping bags

Quilts for baby

Tissue holder

I’ve been thinking for a long time to do this tissue holder and today it finally happened. It didn’t take a long time to sew. I found these tutorials for making a tissue holder at whip up and Bella Dia.

Christmas stocking

Today I have finished a Christmas stocking. I’ve used bits of fabric, it takes a bit longer to sew but I really like patchwork.

Niki at Nostalgia at the Stone House has also done a Christmas stocking, check it out!
Hulda has also started with Christmas decorations.

Here she is…

I manage to keep her still for a second so I could take the photo.


The first photo...

Maya sweater

This evening I did some sewing. Took one of my daughters sweater and did an appliqué with her name on it. Tomorrow I try to get a picture of her with the sweater on. If I can get her to stand still for a second…

Look what I found!

Was looking at the Swedish web shop Inreda.com when I saw this purse. I love it, it is hummmlan style. It’s the Danish company Rice who makes a lot of lovely things.

1 month

When Maya was one month old she just eat, slept and poo… That is what has been written like a frame around the layout… I've tried to take a photo on the 14th every month, so it would be exactly a month between the photos. She is born on the 14th of May 2005.
