Flying chips

Next Monday Emil is going on camp with his school for 2 days. His class is going to a wonderful place called "Hvolris" - it's an Iron Age village, where they are going to live like children did in the Iron age. Eat, dress, work, play and sleep like they did.
Emil is looking very much forward to the new and exciting experience. Our family has always been fond of exploring life as it was in the past - we have often been at "Hvolris" which is not far from where we live.

Emil found his pocket knife - everyone in the class is going to bring one to camp - and he started whittling at a piece of wood. He wanted to turn it into a spreading knife....Emil just love whittling and has done so for some years.

Actually he whittled so much that chips was flying around him - one even landed on top of his head!! We just couldn't help laughing as he sat there with a chip of wood on his head....

Later I thought it was time to take some pictures in the garden of a little dress I made.....I like it when clothes are blowing in the wind! It sort of comes alive...

On the back of the dress I put some fabric covered buttons....I'm so fond of that kind of buttons (as you might already know)

The same day these amazing fabrics arrived by mail. I have been searching for so long for the blue one.

And now I found it!!

  3. Ha, ha - 1000 tak, Julia :0)))

    Synes du ikke bare det er skønt, Hanne?! Jeg er helt vild med det og har faktisk tænkt på lige præcis den samme anvendelsesmulighed ;0)

  4. Det bliver en kæmpe oplevelse at overnatte i Jernalder landsbyen er jeg sikker på. Jeg har altid drømt om at leve en uge som vikinger eller lign. på Hjerlhede.... det kunne være fedt og måske man bare skulle springe ud i det.

    Daniel er afsted nu. De sover på Værestede så vi skal over at hente ham i aften ;0)

    Bare at sidde og snitte med sin dolk.... det kan der gå meget tid med - Skønt;0)

  5. Vi er tidligt på færde vi to, Dorte ;0) Hunden ville gerne ud kl. 6.15 og så var der ingen grund til at gå i seng igen!!

    Dét med Hvolris er bare en genial idé - for 1. gang glæder Emil sig til at komme på hyttetur. Han skal dog sove i telt sammen med en lærer der har multiallergi og en ven med allergi. Det skulle være lidt heftigt med støven og røgen i husene...

    Værestedet er også et rigtig hyggeligt sted. Der er så mange ting at lave derovre.
    Som barn, når vi var på ferie hos mine bedsteforældre, ville vi altid høre om flyveren der styrtede ned i engene - lige i nærheden af Værestedet...

    En dolk er en dejlig ting....og smørkniven tog form!

    Rigtig dejlig fredag :0)

  6. What good pictures:))).... Jakob also loves to use his little knife. We bought him one with a round end so it is not sooo dangerous for him. But sometimes he uses my little kittchen knife and then he is sitting in the gras and started up very carefully..... Your little dress hanging out there is a dream!! As always:).... have a wonderful weekend..klem *Marie*

  7. Hvolris lyder som et rigtig spændende sted - jeg kan da godt forstå, at han glæder sig! Kjolen er bare så fin - du er rigtig god til at kombinere glade farver på en lækker måde. Og så kan den vel rigtig blive brugt i de her dage, hvor vi har fået solen tilbage! :)

  9. Thanks a lot, Marie :0))

    He just loves whittling - I was a bit worried when he started out using a knife when he was younger, but luckily he hasn't cut himself
    (7-9-13). Now he always has to be with either Christian or I when he uses a knife...although he thinks he is big enough not to be ;0)

    The dress is for a little girl called Sophie. I'm really glad you like it - and lots of thank yous for your sweet words about my clothes :0)

    Have an amazing weekend with your family...

    Mange hilsner
    Ulla

    Hvolris er et utroligt spændende sted for både børn og voksne, Astrid. Godt at vi har mange af den slags steder her i Danmark!
    Et ophold som Emils klasse skal på, synes jeg er en genial måde for dem at lære på.

    Jeg elsker jo lyseblåt og rødt og med det skønne sommervejr vi har i øjeblikket, skal vi vist til at se på sommertøjs beholdningen!
