Ohhh.. that dog!!!! 

Well .. well..

Some snowy pics from my part of the world!!!

From a really really wonderful and pretty day ...

-16 C ( 3F) at morning...

Sun and blue skies...

Instagram pics... Taken with my iPhone...

Frostworks on trees...

Pretty...:o)

Absolutely no wind... 9 am...

Snowmobile tracks ...

Like walking on the road....

Out walking on the river...

Molly running loose and no one in sight...

Premium time..:O))

Life is wonderful somedays..:O))

And then back to Molly Monster!!!!

Just take a look!!!!

Ehhhmmm!!!

This is not a teeny weeny little hole...

It´s huge!!!!

What on earth have gotten into her...

boredom... 

or her love of fluffy stuffing...  Grrr..

Being a retriever.. I know they do love to chew.. 

and Molly she loves to chew...

She´s been put on a allergy diet...

and this means ...

Nothing except her allergy food

through her mouth...

no chewing bones... 

for 8 weeks...

no fun at all...

and then she gets this idea!!

SWEET...:O(

And this she did on just 3 minutes!!!

Holy cow!

So dear friends..

Get me ideas on how to mend this one...

 

No use in trying to restore it in its original shape...

My mind have been playing with ...

some kind of....

Upcycling or recycling..:O)

Hello ...

March is here.. 

and believe me.. its like music in my ears..:O))

Still not doing anything in my sewing room...

still having trouble with my five minutes...

but it´s ok.. it will come!

Am finishing up things at my work instead...

started the yellow little bird last year...  

and decided it needed some friends for a tree this Easter...

These are so much fun to make.. even if I struggle.. they get done!!

Used left over cotton yarn!!

Its a pattern from Attic 24..

so easy and fun...

And these mittens I started a month ago and they are finally finished...

Using all small leftover yarns ...

and I think they really have some attitude....:o)

Love it when they aren´t the same!!

 And when going to bed the other week..

 I remembered I havent showed this lamp shade I made out of old bed linen...

and I must say I love the light and how the monogram

 shows up when the lamp is lit...

Sunnier days have arrived...

at least it feels like that..

not that cold either...

Could it be..

that spring is on it´s way????

OHOH.. I know ..lots of snowstorms is yet to come...

cold nights.. ...

more snow...

But on the almanack it says

MARCH...;O))

And I love that!!

See you soon...

Some pincushions up for show soon...

is it someone else out there who made the 

Sew Sew Merry Christmas pincushion.. 

please email me and share pictures

so we can have a little show and tell..:O))

And another problem... 

I need help to solve.. 

all I can say is that Miss Molly Monster is involved!!!

HUGS!!

Started...

some Granny Squares in January... 

with intensions to have a square to make now and then...

How do you think it have worked...

PHEEW..

I have a row ... :O)

And all those I made 

within some days...

Me in a nutshell..:O)

Well I have a ROW!! :O)

Nothing else happens here but taking care of myself..

Have been at a check up at Pain Rehab for 5 days with

Doctor, Physiotherapist, Counselor, Psychologist 

and an Occupational therapist 

and I need to start to listen to my body!!

That is what they told me!! :O)

Have had pain for too many years so now I am reacting with 

even more pain, tiredness, concentration problems, sleeping problems, 

memory loss..;O) even worse than ever...

You name it!!

And add a little hypothyroidism to that.. PHeww!! 

No wonder I am a little tired..;O)

But in the end it will be just fine...

a new me.. I hope..:O)

So if Im a little absent here.. 

you know why..

Do you know what I have for "treatment" every day ...

*Sit in my sewing room for 5 minutes..

JUST SIT!!

:O))

So I do my best and do as the Doc´s say..:O)

Take care and I mean it TAKE CARE!!

LOVE xxx

February sun and Manx...

hello everyone...

From my little corner of the world... 

the sun is getting warmer and warmer...

even manage to warm up the days a few degrees  at day..

and we sure have needed that .. have had very strong cold days

down to -34 C (-29 F)... brrr!

So lets say neither me or Molly have enjoyed our walks...!!!

But it gets prettier..:O)

Last week i got a most wonderful pink package from the

Isle of Mann

(maybe some of you remember my connection to the Isle of Mann,

 my ancestors were kings on the Island way way long time ago...:O))

So when I read on Janice blog back in december that they made some roses out of Manx tartan.. I knew I just had to have one..:O)

So I wrote Loulee at Manxgirl  and asked where to find the ROSE!!!!

And you can guess what happened.. she found one!!!

And this gift .. ahh.. it means so much to me...

ANd looki looki 

Its Pretty too..:O))

My Manx Tartan Rose... :O)

And to sweeten everything up...

she sent me a girly three legs

( Isle of Manns symbol,

 that travelled back to Norway with the vikings

 and then to Sweden... a little cut off.. 

two of the legs were taken off because off cruelty.. 

so our coat of arms just have one leg..:O))

Well well.. Im happy I live in these days...

and very very happy for 

my three legs!!!!

Loulee...
