A delayed weekend-resume...from familyparty

Hello everybody!

This is my second try to write this blog, so I hope for success now! ;-)

Last weekend we were in Sylling to celebrate my niece`s 17`th birthday. Her name is Camilla, and she is also the "mother" to Cindy, the very qute Cocker spaniel you have seen on this blog before.

Camilla is quite busy with school, but her favorite hobbie is to practice with Cindy, and hope to take her to exhibition one day. She is also a very loving and caring young lady, and has always been like that, so I really care for her and whish her all the best.

About Cindy, the 4 legged "niece", is also a bit naughty sometimes and loves to eat glowes, socks, panties, but most of the time she is a very cozy, loving little dog, like here with me. :-)

We all had a very nice evening, with very tasty food, dessert, snacks ++, and in fact it was also the first time that we ate on their new beautiful kitchen. My brother and sister in law, Heidi and Roald, have moved a lot of times the last years, but now I hope it is the last time for them..

Here they are in the new kitchen.

Roald is my husbands brother and they are a quite small family but we try to meet as often we can, and are always having a good time together.

Last sunday was very warm and beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside on the terrase, and the "kids" and Cindy were having a lot of fun sledging down the long field, beside their house.

Here is Eirik, our son, who does not like to be taken pictures from...

The "old" ones where chilling in the sun after having the snow outside of the balcony.

But at home in Kongsberg we still have a lot of snow, so it will take a long time before we can sit at our terrace. Maybe in easter-holiday if we can clear away the snow.

Pulsewarmers and sewmeeting!!

Hei og hopp!

Her kommer en nesten ren kreativ blogg!! ;-)

Ca. hver 3. uke har jeg sy/strikkemøte med 3 venninder, men i vinter har det sklidd litt ut, av en eller annen grunn. Kanskje fordi en av oss er i New York årets 4 første mnd..men synes ikke vi skal skylde på henne. Hun strikker ihvertfall masse i NY i en strikkebutikk med strikke-kafe og strikke-kafe på universitetet hun går på mm.

Men idag klarte vi å ha årets første sy/strikkemøte og da ble Anett ferdig med prosjektet hun har holdt på med i nesten 2 år! ;-) HURRA- Det ble et kjempefint teppe. Så all ære til henne for det! Anett with her knitted rug, finished after 2 years work :-) Very nice!!

Kirsten på symøte via skype, fra New York! Verden er liten du!

And we also had Kirsten with us from NY on skype! Here she is..so the world isn`t big with todays tools :-)

Lisbet strikker votter, som hun tover. Deilige og varme. :-)

The third of us is Lisbet and here she is knitting some huge mittens, that she shrinks before use. They are very warm. And it is possible to order it from her.

Og så er det meg, men det var ingen som tok bilde av meg når jeg strikket, men jeg har tatt bilde av det jeg strikket på, en Tunika, som jeg har holdt på med siden i høst. Synes den bør bli ferdig snart nå da! ;-) Men det er heller ikke så mye igjen, bare litt på bakstykket og forstykke. Endelig resultat vil også bli vist, men her er det midlertidige.

This is what Im knitting on right now. When it is finished it will be a tunika (is that a proper american word??)

og så har jeg strikket pulsvarmere som nettopp er ferdige. De er strikket i to typer garn, et med perler i seg på hver 4. cm. ca og et alpakkagarn. Strikket to rader av hver, 2 vrid rett, 2 vrang og så forskjøv jeg det en maske etterhvert, så det så nesten ut som en flette. Ble fornøyd med de ;-)

And here are the pulse-warmers, made for a friend of mine ;-)

And at last I want to show you my new shoes that I bought today. They are really cool, I think..

vel det er alt for idag! Now it is sleeping time

Klem and hug

Hilde ;-)
