Owls..........

Well what can I say? Two posts in two days. Well thats just me, either on or off.
Today I'¨ve been home with my youngest who has the stomach flu, yuk!
A few days ago I went to Stoff of stil, a fabric store. Oh man , one can really go broke in that store. This time I held my selv by the ears an only bought cutoffs. they are really cheap! I bought Fleece fabric for a dress and it only cost me 54 nok. 
An today I got around to cutting and sewing the dress:


I made an owl to applicate on the dress or else I would have feld like a big bear in the dress. I think I can say that I have a fondness for owls.. hehe or at least it seems like it.

  This painting I made in november I think. It's quite small 10x40 cm.
                                  


And of course some bling :)

Earrings for my selv. Light, bright and shiny:)

Have a nice evening:)

A new year, new posibilities

Merry Christmas everybody and a happy new year. I've been so busy and lazy that my blog has suffered.
Plus I lent my camera to my eldest a few weeks ago, and guess what? Well in not so many words, I needed a new camera.
But all is not well in Candyland, because I can't edit my fotos. The darn machine says that either the foto is in use by another program or it is a written fil, WTF??????? A foto is a foto, right? (I know it isn't that  simple but the files are the same format I've used before and the camera is the same type as my old one)
Anywho.............................. I've managed to get a few of the fotos to behave:

This is a present I made for my brothers daughters.
He's got 3 beautiful princesses in their teens. So each of the got their own, no alike, makeup purse with earrings too.

I also made each of them my version of a  Wham bam thank you lamb cowl (ravelry link), but no fotos.


I knittet this for a woman that used to work in my sons kindergarten. She has now a little girl and nobody in her family knits.
The pattern is from the book "Strikk til nøstebarn" . Among norwegian knitters it goes by the name "nøstebarndressen"

This is my current knit. A cabeled jacket (ravelry link)  in offwhite Fritidsgarn from Sandnes.



These are the rest of my christmas candels. I have them on the livingroom table.
Outside its snowing and it is so nice to curl up in the sofa with a cup of coffie, knitting and lit candles.

Have a beautiful evening everybody.
