My sister-in-law is living in Sweden. She uses to buy me small, cute pearls for my quilting products. Nowadays she's home for a visit and wanted me to make her a new purse. I made one for her many years ago. This one was is her favorite and now very ugly. Of course I could make one more for her, nearly like the old one.

Vintage
I dag ble to nye sminkepunger ferdige, denne gangen med vintagebilder av søte jenter. Utgangspunktet er "Stor & Liten" - et AnnAKa-mønster. Jeg har laget en mellomting av de to utgavene i mønsteret slik at lengden på glidelåsene på disse måler 10".
Today I finished these two toiletry bags - this time with picture of cute vintagegirls as decoration. I used AnnAKa's pattern "Big & small", but changed the size. The zippers on these two measures 10".

Til Kari / For Kari
Just arrived home after a "goodbye-party" for a colleague who's leaving Tromsø and spending the next months in London. We had a great time together laughing, eating and drinking. We also had a couple of quiz about London and England and Kari got several gifts to take with her to the UK. I had made a toiletry bag with picture of her grandchild born last Christmas Eve and a case for her eyeglasses. She was very excited.

Denne søndagen.../ This Sunday...
Jeg har nettopp gjort ferdig noen små sminkepunger som blir med på messer senere iår. Den lilla er laget etter rester fra løperen til "Hønsehuset".
I´ve finished some small makeup-purses today. Hopefully they will be sold later on the market. The one in lilac fabrics is made of scraps from the small table runner I made earlier.
Idag kjørte min søster Mona og jeg på landet. Målet var å besøke "Budeia" - en butikk/kafé som kun har åpent på søndager. Her kunne vi nyte fine salgsprodukter, hjemmebakt gjærbakst og flott utsikt. Ikke rart de ble kåret til "Norges hyggeligste butikk" i bladet Kamille.
At noon my sister Mona and I drove to the countryside. We visited a small shop/café which is open only at Sundays. It was a pleasure! In the Norwegian magazine Kamille it´s chosen as "The nicest shop in Norway".

Lilla / Lilac
Datteren i huset har flyttet i jentekollektiv og behovet for en liten løper til salongbordet meldte seg. Med forskjellige lillafarger på pynteputene i sofaen ga fargevalget seg selv. Datteren likte godt løperen jeg sydde i høstfarger, men denne måtte være smalere. Jeg kuttet alle kvadratene 2 1/2" istedetfor 3" og tror det ble passelig til det lille bordet.
Denne løperen måler 14" x 27 1/2" (36 x 70 cm).
Our daughter has moved in a flat with three other girls and they needed a new table runner for the little table in the living room. The cushions in the couch are all in lilac colors so it was easy to choose fabrics. The daughter liked the runner I made earlier but this one had to be smaller. Instead of 3" I cut all the squares 2 1/2" and I think this runner will suit the table very well.
This runner measures 14" x 27 1/2" (36 x 70 cm).

Pennal / Pencilbox
Yngste skolejente i familien skal begynne i 2. klasse og ønsket var et pennal i rødt med kraftig glidelås og navnet sydd på. Jeg valgte å legge to lag vatt mellom stoffene slik at det blir robust og holder fasongen. Glidelåsenden fikk lærreim og terninger til pynt. Nå mangler det bare litt nytt innhold og det skal skolejenta plukke ut selv sammen med mammaen.
Our youngest schoolgirl wanted a new pencilbox when she starts in 2.grade soon. It had to be red, with a thick kind of zipper and her name on one side. This is the result.

Hus / Houses
I nummer 2/2012 av magasinet myQuilt fant jeg oppskrift på disse gryteklutene. Smart og nyttig måte å bruke opp rester på. Det første paret (rosa hus) ble sydd etter mønsteret med lomme mellom topp og bakdel. Neste par ble sydd på en enklere måte da jeg manglet noe bakdelstoff.
Gryteklutene måler 8" x 11".
In issue 2/2012 of myQuilt I found the pattern for making these potholders. Smart and useful way of getting rid of scraps. Both pairs measures 8" x 11".

Godt i gang.../ On my way...
Salgsmessene nærmer seg og det er bare å henge i å sy. Krusmatter er fine gaver og innpakket i cellofan er de ferdige til å overrekkes. Teksten er hentet fra et mønster laget av Lappedilla.
Løperen "Nissegaver" (AnnAKa) ble påbegynt på en kald dag i mai der jeg ble inspirert til julesøm. Nå er den ferdig og legges i julemesseboksen.
Salesmarkets are coming up and I have much left on my "to do"-list. The mug-rugs are nice gifts and wrapped in cellophane they are ready for giving away. The text is designed by Lappedilla.
The tablerunner "Santagifts" (from AnnAKa) was started a cold day in May when I for a moment thought of Christmas. Now it's finished and will be put together with other products in my sales-box.

Til sminken / For the makeup
For noen år siden sydde jeg "The Travel Quilt" - designet av Leanne Beasley. Restene fra teppet dukket opp her om dagen og jeg valgte å sy noen sminkepunger som er fine gaver. De ble pyntet med blomster fra AnnAKas mønster "Kaffekverna".
Some years ago I made "The Travel Quilt" - designed by Leanne Beasley. The scraps from this quilt appeared a couple of days ago and I chose to make these makeup-purses for gifts. They were all decorated with flowers from a pattern by AnnAKa - "The coffee grinder".

Lappeløper - høst / Patchworkrunner - Autumn
Første august viser kalenderen og dårlig sommervær preger hele landet. Selv skal jeg ikke klage som har hatt en hel uke med sol i Middelhavet. Om ikke lenge faller bladene og høsten er her. Da passer det bra å presentere løperen jeg sydde igår.
Den er noe mindre enn AnnAKas "En lappeløper" og måler 17" x 29" (43 x 73,5 cm).
Today it's August 1.st and it has been bad weather during this summer all over the country. Having a lot of sun at the Mediterranean Sea I'm not complaining. In a short time the leaves will disappear and Autumn is coming up. Yesterday I made this short table runner from an AnnAKa-pattern called "A patchwork-runner".
It measures 17" x 29" (43 x 73,5 cm).
