Wakey wakey....

Long time no see..

Still remember me??

What a winter we have had...pheeww....
Lots of snow..
Strong Cold....
Dark days..

Really have tried to find some peace with winter..
but have to face it..
I hate WINTER!!

Goes to bed early...take herb medicine...
out in the light as often I can.. walk to work...
changed my diet..but
pheeewww... it have been tough months...

I REALLY HOPE SO...
I long... :o)

Ok so what have happened here since I posted  three weeks ago...
Early February I got the nicest gift
all the way from Tasmania...
Christine from
Just to cheer me up...
Thanks a lot Christine...
Your gift is so thoughtful....
and 
I LOVE IT!!!
Hope to get my stitching mojo back soon so we can start on this quilt!!!!
(Have a Butterfly Garden to finish first...:o)

What can I say..
Friends... 
are the best !!!

Tennis competitions have been played ...
Singles and Doubles...
for Viktor and his partner Jonathan
A Lucky weekend...:o)

While looking through pictures for this post I found pictures of a 
Wristlet Camera Case
I have sewed...
The pattern is from 
Keyka Lou....
She has wonderful patterns,
 so easy to follow and GREAT!!
And the case is perfect!!

Now I have to warn sensitive viewers...
Cover your eyes...
Messy pictures!!!

UGH!!!!
Tell me how a not used sewing room can be this messy!!!????
And It have been like this for weeks!!!
Really need a clean up fairy to come and help me out!!!
WANTED!!! :o)
But I guess I have to do it myself..lol

And what to do if you dont sew...
Dream of sewing and having fun...
and shop...:o)

Will show later and some pics of a LATE little 
Christmas gift I sent to Louise..

 See you later...
Off to bed and my beauty sleep...
and rise and shine for a day at the tennis courts...

HUGS..

  1. Stina! I have missed you so much! Winter is very long and cold... especially where you are! But it actually looks like your sewing room is carrying on without you:) I have seen that camera case pattern before and would love to make it. Spring is just around the corner- isn't it?

  3. Wakey wakey is too funny. I feel the same. You may live in a long cold and dark area on the globe, but your posts always reflect your lively and colorful personality! Love that camera case. Tennis brings thoughts of summertime. Your messy sewing space 'mess' looks so pretty, too pretty to be considered a bag thing. :-D Here's to an early spring!! Wakey wakey...LOL.

  4. Hi Stina,
    Your sewing room still looks pretty,I know mine never stays "neat" for long. I always want to start a new project before I clean up from the last one. Love all of your photos and the camera case is adorable,I love it. Thinking warm thoughts of you and hope your temperatures warm up soon too!

    I am not afraid of your messy sewingroom, it looks just like mine :)

  11. Wimbledon is beckoning Viktor and that front row seat will be mine. Glad to see you back Stina, you have been missed greatly. Hope you are feeling a bit better and getting a bit of warmth and sunshine. The sewing mojo will soon return and all those lovely shopping buys will soon give you inspiration.
    Love Shirley.xx

  16. Hallo Stina, ich freue mich auch auf den Frühling. Aber er kommt bestimmt.
    Dein Arbeitszimmer ist doch sehr schön, wenn gearbeitet wird gibt es auch Chaos.
    Ich bin mal gespannt, was du wieder Schönes nähst.
    Liebe Grüße Annerose

  24. Hey Stina! Oh I am with you ... I HATE winter!!! I never seem to have any energy, so I'm hoping we get a bit more warm weather before the cold comes. I know what you mean about your sewing room messing itself up ... mine does it too! Have just begun the time-consuming process of de-cluttering and cleaning my sewing room ready for it's makeover ... but there is SOOOOO much clutter that it could take a while! :0( Ah well ... I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Stay well and I'll look forward to seeing more of your stitching!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
