Mors/valentins/fastelavensdag.

Jeg må si meg enig i den damen som sa at denne sammenslåing av dager må være en manns ide. Selv om det er morsdagen så har "denne mannen" sørget for at han likevel skal få¨noe godt i magen.
Jeg koser meg hjemme med strikketøy. Jeg kan ikke si at jeg strikker på noe morsomt, men en bestilling som er frem og tilbakestrikk og det kan ikke sies ¨å være min favoritt. Men jeg blir ferdig en gang i fremtiden og kan da strikke noe til meg sel, så ikke jeg skal fryse
( egentlig ikke noe fare for det).

Here in Scandinavis we celebrate something called fastelaven. It marks the start of tha fast before easter. This year it fell opon the same day as mothers and valentines day. An I and some other women think that it must be a man who has planned all this.
Even tho it's mothersday "that man" has made sure that he would get something good to eat anyway.
I'm at home knitting something that is not so fun to knit but all so important for the person who asked for my help. I am looking forward to finishing this order and be able to start to knit something for my self.

Nå har jeg endelig fått brukt en av monsterknappene som jeg lagde. Jeg er spent å¨se om hvordan de klarer seg gjennom vask i vaskemaskinen:S
Jeg mistet en i golvet her, det gikk bra og så glemte jeg å ta av en sjalnål med mine lampworkperler, før vask og de var like fine etter vask.

I finally was able to use one of my lampwork mosterbuttons. I am exited to see how they will be after a turn in the washer. I've dropped one on the floor and washed a sjawlpin with my beads on it and they looked the same after that so we will see.



Se hva jeg fant på Fretex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! En Turid/Figgjo kjekskrukke!! Nydelig rett og slett. Min kjære himlet litt med øyene når jeg fortalte han prisen (han spurte meg rett ut og jeg kan og vil ikke lyve) men den er verdt hver krone. Nå er den nyvasket på utstilling på kjøkkenet.

Look what I found!!!! I found this Figgjo jar at the Goodwill shop. It costed me a little wee bit, but hey! It's beautiful!"

Vi avslutter et kort innlegg med hjemmelagde vannbakkelsboller med smeltet sjokolade på toppen. Ummmmmmm, farlig godt.

I wrapthis up with homemade buns, with dark melted chockolate on top. Gawd! It's too good!!!!!!!

This and that.

I know I'm not the one that updates often. So just bear with me when I update:)
I've startet attending the local painters club again. I haven't been there for over one year because of night school.
This is just a little color sketch. I just getting the feel of things again.

I wantet to show the wool longs I knitted during christmas. It has been so cold here that my youngest needed thick wool longs to wear in kindergarten, under his snowsuits.

Just some socks I knittet for my partner. Skeive sokker av ToneM
He liked them alot. they fit well and are quite thick. Knittet with Rubin Garn from Sparkjøp on 3,5 mm needles
An of course mom needs a new pair too:) Bluberrywaffel socks by Sandy Turner. Also knittet on dpn 3,5 needles , Rubingarn from Sparkjøp.


These are watchmonsters. They watch over small kids whwn they are asleep and make sure that nothing bad happens. These belong to my youngest who has been complaining every night for a while about him beeing afraid. Now that is all fixed. And guess what??? They are called Mike and Sully, or as he calles them in norwegian/icelandic: Maggi og Sølle.
I guess they don't just wach over little kids but all small creatures who are asleep:

This is Cooper, our blask berkshire rat. He is so trusting of our oldest son that he sleeps at times on his back in a ball of yarn. (Even the rat gets something good from moms yarnstash;))
