Knitting and wedding

I have been thinking...
Oh yes!!!!
Believe it or not
I must have something to do when I watch TV
So I decided to start knitting
I bought some yarn, 2 big skeins
new needles
Pattern???????
Google..............
I found DROPS design
I decided to go for this cardigan


I joined Jane´s halloweenswap a couple of months ago
All 24 blocks are now of to USA.
Tomorrow you´ll see the content
of the parcel...............



Last but not least
some pictures from the wedding I told you about
Here are the happy family outside the church


Time to open the gifts
Below you see
the merrymarried couple with
the quilt I made


That´s all folks

Summer-gifts

You all know
that I have been away
to my and DH´s hometowns for a week and a half.
Some posts ago I showed some peeks of
what I was doing as gifts for our relatives.
Now can I show all the results

First my fathers Birthday-gift,
a mailbox that I painted
The one that he had (also decorated by yours truly) was 10 years old
and some kids have tried to blow it away New years Eve


Then comes 3 Clothpeg-bags in different colours.
They were realy funny to make.
The pattern comes from the swedish magazine FQ
The blue one for my mother and the pink one chosed my sister


Then I made a rucksack for my sister.
My DH is trying it


And finally the last one goes to my dear sister in law Anki in Kalmar

Birthday-gift

I´m going to a birthday party tomorrow.
So, yesterday I started my sewing machine.
That little darling has been soooo... lonely during my travelling, but now is mama back.
I decided to make a toilet bag.
The pattern comes from a book I have (the title? hmm... don´t remember).
This is the third from the same pattern that I do,
I think it´s easy to make and rather big.

Connie at Quilt Qua Home.
She is having a Give-away

It seems like I just post about Giveaways
But next post will be about my sewing.

Along the railway

Great weather today.
We are really lucky this week with a lot of sunshine.
Today we have been out and moving our legs!!!!
For the first time I have used a "dressin".
Haven´t any idea what it´s called in english.
But I hope you understand what kind of a vehicle it is,
when you look at the picture.
It´s like a bike on the railway.
I took the first ride and I was lucky because ,
it was almost downhill the whole way.
So my DH wasn´t that happy when we were going homewards.


This is my mother to the left, me in the middle
and my younger (and only) sister to the right.
Just having a short pause.


Then it was time for lunch.

And some pancakes and homemade (my mother) strawberry jam
for dessert.



I recomment this trip if you come to Österlen .
Tomorrow are we heading for Malmö.
We are picking up our daugher and her boyfriend at the airport.
Since we are in Malmö -
I´m going to Stoff och stil (a big fabric shop in Malmö) and visit 2 quiltshops.

Hugs..................................Ankie
