A fast update

Holidays are over and Iam off to work tomorrow again for 12 new days. But I like to send a hello to all who know me and my blog.

Time is going so fast.

We had some nice weeks in july, weather was not allways good but caught some nice cod (well my husband did). I did not spin so much on my wheel at the moment. Had not so much time.

I will be back later in August. CU.

Hello without a picture

Unfortunatley, I have been very busy when I was home and had not the time for blogging.
Now I am at work again and afterwards I will be on a short trip to some family holyday. So I think I take some blogg free until the end of july.
I wish you all a wonderfull summertime.

See you soon:)

Fiber goodies

Hello:) Iam back from work and i spun a lot and dyed a bit:) Here are the results from my day.

Its the first time I work with Sari Silk and its quite interesting to work with. And while I spun I thought about what to blend it with cause I will not use it alone, so I thought about something bright, like the colours in the Sari Silk and my thoughts got pink/red on its mind. The firber I dyed is from our own sheep this time and the breed is called "Dala". Its a norwegian breed as far as I know. http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalasau (Sry, I only found an norwegian link)

While I was at work in Stavanger i started with a new shawl I will show you one of the next days. Iam not so happy with it yet. Had some problems with the pattern, but now I hope it will work.

Thats all for today. Cu soon:))

Some boucle

Here Iam again.

Iam a bit busy at the moment, because next week, Iam going off to work for some weeks again, so Iam cleaning and painting and moving furniture.

But in my tiny bit of spare time I made this: my first boucle.

The colours are a bit strong and its not much, but technical its not bad at all I think.

Its not much. The thread is made from some orange wild sheep fiber, I died earlier this year and the rest of it, is bought material.

Some red cotton thread and the gold is acryllic I think.

Last week I ordered some Sari Silk at Winghams shop in England and some other stuff too, and I hope to get before Iam off to work.

I will show it to you when get it.

Have a lovely weekend with lots of nice sunshine:)))

No fibers today:)

Well, Iam not a scrap book person, but it was about time to make some invitations for my sons confirmation.

The cards are "designed" by me and him.

Was not easy to find a colour that could fit his taste. He wanted black and silver and we tried it. But it looked too much like a funeral invitation and he agreed to put some white to it too. And here is the final result.

And now Iam happy to finish this project, that I can return to my fibers, where I belong:)

A better look:)

Here it is one more time, worn by the lovely Gro:) And it looks like she really like the scarf. Happy birthday Gro:) Really enjoyed to have you on our island. See you in june:)

Yesterdays work

Yesterday I made a birthday present for a friend of mine and she liked it very much:) Here it is: a scarf.

Its nunofelted and iam really happy with the outcome of it.

I used black and purple alpacca and some of the orange wild sheep breed fiber I dyed earlier. And some silk hankies of course. I really love silk hankies. They are so usefull:)
