Knitted Hat

 More knitting from me. This time a hat, Norwegian pattern.

Baby Cowls

Well, - I have not been making cards for weeks. No inspiration! Hope the inspiration will turn back again soon.

But I've been knitting baby cowls and also socks for adults. For these cowls I used Baby Cotton yarn. They are soft and warm for small people.

Christmas Decoration, Angels

These two angels I will put on the tree or hang them in the window. But to make this photo I now let them lie on the table. The dress is meant to be bent back.

Die: Marianne Design. Light blue patterned paper: Sigel.

Vaskeklut

De siste dagene har jeg kost meg med å strikke litt igjen.

Her er vaskevotten "Vaske-Vått", design: Bitta Mikkelborg.

Dette er et koselig arbeid,

og vaskehansken (som vi sier på Vestlandet),

er veldig god i bruk!

Vaskevotten er strikket i 100% bomull og kan vaskes på 60°C.

Book Mark / Lesezeichen / Bokmerke

I made this book mark some days ago

The book mark is made with hand writing and doodling

on white card stock.

Palm Sunday Bible Journaling

This is not a card.

I only wanted to use this little Donkey

for my Bible Journaling today.

The image is from Beccy.

Also the sentiment is from her.

The Bible text is Marc 11,1-11,

and my Journaling Bible is written in German.

Beccy's Challenges

Julegrytekluter

Jeg oppdaget at jeg ikke har julegrytekluter,

så dermed måtte jeg skaffe meg noen.

Tradisjonelle julefarger er det jeg liker best

å ha på kjøkkenet til jul.

Jeg strikket et par helt enkle grytekluter.

De er til bruk og ikke til pynt.

Mens jeg strikket den grønne, oppdaget jeg at garnet farget av.

Og det temmelig mye!

Både fingrene og bambuspinnene var grønne.

Så disse klutene ble vasket med en gang de var ferdige.

Hendene også, selvfølgelig. ;)

Tror kanskje til og med pinnene

må få seg en omgang med såpe og vann

før jeg starter på neste prosjekt.

Christmas Box

Just now I am trying to make box cards and mall boxes.

A couple of weeks ago I bought an envelope punch board,

and I am learning how to be comfortable

with this (for me) quite new tool.

Here is my first Christmas box.

Inside there are 4 tea lights.

But I think I also will use boxes like this one for candies.

Recipe:

Creme paper,

Red and green scrap papers.

Embossing folder: Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug).

Spellbinders Poinsettia and Circle dies.

Brown distress ink, silver glitter.

Creme paper,

Creme, lilac and pink scrap papers,

Lilac pen.

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge. We're back!

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge is back after the summer break.

This time we want you to make

"Anything But A Card".
Please take a look at our blog. There are som changes.

I made three candle rings with self made flowers.

The paper rings I have had for years,

but I thought they needed some colour.

Papers: Green, purple and creme snippets.

Dies: Cottage Cutz "Ivy",

Punches: EK Success and Gütermann.

I also used some glitter and pistils for the flowers.

Here are all the rings together.

 The candle rings on the candlestick.

          

A closer photo of one of the rings.

Kluter i "krokusfarger"

I min barndoms hage hjemme i Bergen,

hadde vi massevis av krokus.

For meg var det skikkelig påske

når Mamma hadde laget nydelige påskedekorasjoner 

med pusekatter (gåsunger), lilla og gule krokus.

Det var slike minner som inspirerte meg til disse to klutene

som kan være både kjøkkenkluter og grytekluter.

Påskegryteklut

Det er snart Koffermarkt,

og jeg strikker litt til dette markedet i tillegg til å lage kort.

Idag viser jeg en påskegryteklut jeg har laget.

Jeg har strikket den rundt og heklet sammen etterpå.

Den er nok tykkere enn originalgarnet,

så derfor vil jeg heller anbefale den til bordskåner enn til gryteklut.

Jeg får ikke tak i rett garn her i Sveits,

så "man tager hvad man haver".

Cuttlebug Mania Challenge: Ribbon and Bows

It is Tuesday,

and that means a new challenge over at Cuttlebug Mania.

Today the theme is "Ribbon and Bows".

I made a candy box with place for 3 "Branches" chocolates.

They are popular here in Switzerland.

The box is made with a WeR Memory Keepers Candy Box punch.

Dies used:

Label (Papirdesign), "Ivy" (Cottage Cutz), Butterfly (Studio Light "Home and Happiness").

Flowers: EK Success punch.

I also used distress ink, glitter and rhinestones.

Rabbit image: Free Dearie Dolls.

Scrap papers, different colours and purple ribbons.

Easter wish written on my computer.

On one of the sides there is place to write a greeting.
