Merry x-mas

Today there are no wooly pictures. Today it is food.

I wanted to show you one of my x-mas presents I`ve got. I am so happy and I asked Santa if it`s ok to open it before x-mas, cause I had a bit of baking to do.

And the machine works fantastic. Iam so pleased and so is my son.

He has Coeliac disease and I have to do all the bread and cake baking by myself. So it helps me a lot with a good kitchen machine.

Today I baked Lefse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefse. And he is very pleased with me.

Finally I want to wish all my readers a merry x-mas.

Iam not sure that I have the time the next days to make a new Blog update. Enjoy the next days and have a good time together with the family and friends.

To get you in a good x-mas mood I want to share one of my favorite norwegian x-mas songs with you. Enjoy. Love Sandra.

Wool for my mother

In the summer I made this: http://flowerssaape.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html and in the picture you see the final result. But it was quite interesting to see that thing not allways become like you expect them to be:)

Well it was a bit of a surprise when i put the two threads together. But the thread was loved by my mother when she came over in August.

Last week I finished the rest of the fiber that she get the whole yarn for x-mas.

I dont know how many grams or metres it was all together. But I think she can knit a short armet jacket or something out of it.

Not often

Hello again:) It happens not often that I show you pictures of myself, but I got nice pictures send from this lady: http://poletsy.blogspot.com/2010/11/featured-seller-feltik-magdalena.html?spref=fb

One week ago we had a christmas fair here on the island and I took my wheel with me to show people how it works.

Last wednesday I tried to go over to London for some x-mas shopping but unfortunatley all flights to Gatwick were cancelled because of the snowy weather conditions in London. So I had to stay home, sooo disappointed:(

Anyway, now Iam back and I started to prepare last weekend with some xmas cooking/ baking and other fun things.

It was quite cold here so I went iceskating with the kids, that was lots of fun.

Ok, have a nice week everyone:)

Nuno again

Hello and good morning.

This is the result from yesterdays felting and Iam very happy. It is a shawl again. I really love the colours on the silk fabric. I dyed it by myself and on top I used mostly alpacca and silk. ...love it:)

What do you think?

This is what I got:)

Yesterday I showed you all the result of my dyeing day. Today I will show you what Ihave made from it;) Iam extremely happy with the result. Isnt it beautiful? Fibermagic:)))

I love colours:)

Good morning. Yesterday I dyed some fiber again and it was a lot of fun. The long fiber a got as a gift. Dont know what kind of wool it is. I will guess its norwegian wild sheep from around here but I rly dont know. It was very filthy when I got it and I had to wash it several times before dyeng it pink one of my favorite colours.

There was a small amount of brown fibers too and i left it in the original colour which was actually very nice after several times in the water:)

And the green, yellow, blue one is from our own sheep again.

So as you can see i had a busy day yesterday.

A new shawl

I made a new shawl in between all the other stuff I do atm. Its a xmas present for somebody:) It was very easy to make. Its made from alpakka, but this time I bought some yarn. As you can see I love the colour purple:)
