A nice cup of tea ...some resting....a little reading in a lovely magazine...some more resting...and quilting and stitching for a little time...some more rest...another cup of tea ...and blogreading... that is how my days is ...
Sounds absolutely wonderful...doesn´t it...
And they are... :)
Sounds absolutely wonderful...doesn´t it...
And they are... :)
My only wish is some more sewing....I am slowingly cathing up on some sewing... it goes better day by day...
and hopefully I will soon be back as normal I can be...if it´s possible...;)
Woke up one day and said to myself...Stina... you can sew...don´t just overdo it...even it it is only 50 cm...it is 50 cm of wonderful quilting, stitching or sewing...so this is my new motto!!
I can do it!!
And I am so happy for that!!
With not so much sewing in the house I started to think about my PIF´s...
My first PIF round I signed up on Chookyblue´s blog in March...and Marica and Leanne was the wild and brave womans who signed up for my first PIF...
My second PIF was signed up at Christine´s blog in March...and three lovely ladies Carey , Ulla and Jo signed up ...and I was "lazy" and made all five couch companions... you can see them here...
The sixth one I made for Pat as a thankyou... and you can see it here...
and from Christine I have received this lovely gift!! :L
My third PIF was signed up at Carey at BlueBerry Lane in April...
And ... Colleen and Laura...have received theirs ... Jo is still waiting for hers...but I promise it is soon on its way... ;)
So if any one is up for another round with
a new PIF.... my fourth
...I am now announcing another one...this one I signed up at Colleens blog in MAY.. wow ...that was a long time ago...but I wanted to make the other ones finished before I announced this one...
And Colleen wanted to make something in wool for me ...perfect :) ...and this is what I got from her... :L
And this is the rules...
It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on the blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.So if you are up to this... just let me know!!! :)
EDIT!!!
Wow ..this was fast...I already have three lovely people who wants to be a little brave and join my PIF!!!
Ohh... I really love your blog and I'm happy to partecipate to your PIF!

Stina glad you are finding a little sewing OK to do. But don't overdue it. That's my next thing to work on our my PIF's I want them on their way by the end of November. Much later at getting to them than I had planned on. isn't that how it goes, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHugs - karen
Oh darn, that's what I get for staying away from the computer to long. Would of loved to have participated in your PIF. Hope to catch you next time.
ReplyDeleteStina, "YOU CAN DO IT!!"
Keep Stitchen-but don't hurt your fingers...
Bonnie
Hey Stina what magazine is that your reading there? I love the bag on the cover.
ReplyDeleteHope you are mending well! Slow and sure. And I LOVE my PIF!
ReplyDeleteHej, det var min mamma som tipsade om din blogg, och om PIFen. Och det är ju för sent, men kul att du fick folk så snabbt!
ReplyDeleteDock har jag några funderingar som jag hoppas du kan hjälpa mig med. Har ju sett filmen Skicka Vidare, och mamsen tänkte göra en själv, med min hjälp. Så jag undrar, om jag skickar presenter till tre, och hoppas på att dom gör goda saker för några andra, får man göra vad man vill?
Så att det inte måste vara pyssel-relaterat, då din blogg verkar handla rätt mycket om pyssel. :) (Kanske är en självklar sak, men ibland är jag smått förvirrad, så det är lättast att fråga, så blir det inte fel sen)
Ha en bra dag,
Josefin
ohhh nif nif
ReplyDeletei'm late !!!!
so for the next time maybe ???
have a good week end !!!
I love so much your blog !!!
I am glad you are able to do even just a little bit, I feel the same way with stitching when I am working full timeand don't get as much time as i'd like, a little bit is better than none at all!

Lovely visit to your blog , Stina, thanks - and thanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteThe PIF sounds a great idea@
Hugs - Lurline!
I'm glad you are sewing again, even if it is only 50 cm, it is better than no sewing at all!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what I did wrong with my PIF on my blog, NOBODY signed in!....I will give it another try, who knows this time?...
Have a great weekend!
Well, Stina, neither you nor myself won that really cute snowman mat!
ReplyDeleteHope you are going to be back in the sewing groove soon!
Your PIF gifts are wonderful..I am lucky enough to have one.
