Summer is here... :o)

and boy do that feel good or WHAT!!! :o)

Seem to get longer and longer time between my blogposts, 
really need to shape up!!
Hope I can do that!!

Ok we have had all kind of weather.. sunny and warm days and already had our share of rain for June...
I dont care as long Summer is here!!! :o)

So happy to have the PIF gifts sent and received... 
More than a year late.. yikes...
so so happy I could make something and send!!

 I recycled old tea towels and old tablecloths, cross stitched and stamped on fabric and just played around
to make gifts my PIF Girls... 
It was FUN...
and I actually sewed some ... felt like ages and so it was!

Made bags from old swedish tea towels...
inspired from the book Natural Patchwork by 
Suzuko Koseki

And little needle cases made from a tutorial 

And Swedish pincushions cross stitched by me....

 So happy they all landed at their new owners...
despite ash clouds over South America!

Happy you liked them girls...

Otherwise Schools over here in Sweden...
(picture from the day school ended!! 
Viktor and his best friend Kasper goofing around)

Tennis school have started... but 
 today he is sick...
high fever .. nothing else.. strange!!
Having trouble getting the fever down..
Poor guy!!
Hope it will pass quickly!


Molly is growing quickly...
here are some old pictures from her first bath this summer!
Have to take some new photos of her...
because she have grown...:o)

On the sewing front..
am sewing on Butterfly Garden and are working on the the last stitcheries...
hope to finish them soon so I can put the quilt together soon!!

Lots of Love from me
Stina..

From Molly House...

so it is...
Molly House...
Everything is is about Molly right now...
but dont read me wrong.. we do love it!!! :o)
She is a real sweetie ..but sometimes she is just sooooo...
resourceful..:o)
Like the day we found her in Viktors bookshelf... second row up.. 
in a little bed for his soft animals...
*BIG SMILE*


And getting to know her.. she loves everything soft and warm... :o)
She is like the "Princess and the Pea"...
the softer the better...no bumps...
Just like the Princess... :O)

Well otherwise ..I have tried out
Tatting...
ahh this was tricky..but got it finally..
but I dont think its my kind of craft!!

Just a few days left of school so I have some things to finish up!

Finished and sent of my PIF gifts to my fantastic 
and ever so kind PIF ladies who have been
 waiting for their gifts forever...
but now they are on the way!!!
Here´s a little peek for you!!
Have had some days off and these have been
 shared with family and our new friend!!
This is a lucky guy
with his new companion!!

But well over and out from me and our 
crazy dog!! :o)

Have a lovely time out there...
 will soon visit you all and see what you have been up too...

Mmmm´s...

Ahh...
Time really do fly away...
Lots have happened here while I havent been around in Blogland...

Lots of M´s...

Firstly 
My guys came home from a wonderful Mallorca trip...
They had a wonderful time...
lots of training.. but as you see lots of other fun things...

while they were away I was sick..
hah.. no surprise to me...
but what do a girl do then.. 
More fabrics to me...
Mmmmm shopping... :o)

This is my new love... 
 "Vintage" bed linen... 
love these fresh and flowery fabrics..
Bought on Etsy from the wonderful  Jennie at 

And these have been on a Snail journey... it just took around 
7 weeks to get here from Canada
from the lovely Nancy at Pink Fawn Designs...
Just long till I get some time to sew something with these... 
just need some more pinks to my new collection...:o)

But the big time M happening is this....

While My guys were enjoying themselves at Mallorca...
My Mother and I took a little trip...
The M Mission... 

 So how this all happened.. 
Im not really sure of.. but suddenly we are with a new baby and last week she came...
A puppy for Viktor... an early birthdaygift... 
Oh how Viktor have longed.. he have daydreamed... and borrowed books and read everything..and LONGED... 
and suddenly she came...
...Molly...
but ... as you know...
Puppies aint all that sweet all the time...
So she got a nick name
Monster Molly pretty quick..lol..


She really have given us some good laughs...
Our Miss Molly... :o)
She´s a Mix between 
Golden retriever and Labrador Retriever

Hopefully she will grow up to be a lovely and sweet company for Viktor.. 
wise and calm...
(right now we really do wonder..;o)

So ..
You know this with sewing.. 
its pretty much on hold.. 
but I have sewn... and finally my Lovely PIF ladies..

Dont know what it will be ..if it will be something...
