So far!!
Dont like my batik fabric... and not the colour...
it doesnt speak to me at all...and I have to use it!!!
SIGH!!

So it need to be done .. tomorrow!!!
But it was fun to have Camilla around and learn her to play with fabrics!!!
All the other girls were sick or just couldn´t come!
Hope she have done something fun with her blocks!
The same week a surprise package was in my mailbox....
A Thankyou present from Judy at

Thanks Lyn!!!
More happiness came... for the first of Advent....

ReplyDeleteNice to see you pop up in Google Reader Stina....take things slowly and I do hope you are feeling better each day..loved your post..take care Peg xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need a break. Glad to see you back. I love seeing your snaps it looks very cold there and dark so early.
ReplyDeleteHei, kjekt å høre fra deg igjen. Håper du snart får kreftene igjen. Klem.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Stina, good to see you! November has been tough here, too, very cold, dark, health not good a.s.o, so I can guess how you are.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you posting again- and such a lovely post- I love all the pictures, and your header is just awesome! Hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself and your family!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are back to feeling good again. You certainly have had more than your share of colds.
ReplyDeleteYou received so many good packages. Everyone loves you!
Hey Stina! YAY! She's back! And what a lovely catch up post. Considering you said nothing had been happening ... it looks like you've had a lot happening! :0) Hope you and your Mum are on the mend soon ... best wishes and hugs to your Mum!! And I LOVE your green batik and how you're putting it together! It reminds me of snowflakes and very cold, deep water. However you put it all together I know it will look gorgeous, cos you have a real talent for working with colour. Remember that ugly felt you didn't think you could make into something beautiful ... and you DID! :0) Love your photos too ... especially your new header. It looks like a winter postcard. Stay warm, stay well and remember your blogging buddies love you lots and are thinking of you! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteI was worried about you and glad to hear from you. I quite like the freshness of that minty green and those blocks. What lovely gifts you have received and I will say it again - Quilters are the most generous and kindliest of people the world over. Hope your mum is better too. Take care of that cold.
ReplyDeleteLove Shirley.x
There is such great beauty to be found in the early morning darkness. You do take some fantastic photos, Stina! Thanks for checking in with us, for letting us know how things are for you there. :-D
ReplyDeleteGood to know you are doing well...happy December! I love the photos of the frosted glass...so beautiful...although I know it must be so very cold there by now--stay warm!
ReplyDeleteOh and hugs to you too dear Stina!!
ReplyDeleteI do agree...a lovely refreshing post... thanks for sharing what you've been up to and where you're at right now.
Take care and I hope December turns out to be really special for you!!
Warm Aussie hugs

ReplyDeleteHi Stina...good to see a post from you...what a beautiful header you have!!! I'm still learning Picase LOL!!! Have a beautiful Christmas...Hugs to you♥x
ReplyDeleteso good to see you're "back on track" again :o) Focus on the things you want to make or sew, and hide the things that's hard to work on in the UFO/WISP bin for a while. It helps, I know ;o)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll have a nice and cozy week, and I'm sending you a bunch of big and warm hugs :-)
