- the trousers are done - I ended up sewing it by hand!! Just couldn't get it right even though I had wonderful directions from you guys...The stiches were (kind of) invisible - at least I think so...
- the birthday bag for Liselotte was completed today and given to her.The Flu delayed it quite a few days.
I think she liked it...
- I still haven't located the beautiful, Swedish fabric. But I have definitely not given up!
- Yesterday we saw 10 birds at our new bird feeding place. Yeah!! Maybe the snow we had today will make even more birds come to our take-away seeds?
- my give away present has been sent off and I know that the sweet winner (mortil9) has recieved it. It was rather funny, because while writing her adress on the package, I could see that she didn't live that far away from my town!! What a small world...
- the "missing their heads pixies" are now back to normal (or as normal as they can be with their necks full of glue!) and put in our big, wooden box with the rest of our christmas stuff....Lucky for my husband that they could be fixed ;0)
- PDF files are no longer a mystery to me - I have bought and recieved many since the post. Oh my, how fast a delivery from the other side of the world can be with a PDF file!!
Do you have updates too?? It's actually rather satisfying to have a little look back and see that things do happen....
Bye for now...
Vad bra att Du mår lite bättre och att våren kommer snart med fågelsång och glada färger... Kram, Juliane
ReplyDeleteHej Ulla. Tilbageblik er en god ting. Hvis man istedet for hele tiden at fokusere på alt det man ikke når, så fokuserer på det man når - så tror jeg faktisk at man (jeg) ville blilve ganske tilfreds. Desværre har vi ofte tendens til det modsatte....
ReplyDeleteSikken en smuk taske du har frembragt. Er helt sikker på at modtageren blev meget glad.
Mange tak, Juliane :0)) Ja, sol og fuglesang kan glæde hjertet uendeligt. Sådan en skøn dag er det i dag... :0))
ReplyDeleteGod mandag til dig!
Mange hilsner
Ulla
..................
1000 tak, Gitte - endelig blev den færdig og jeg tror at Liselotte blev glad ;0)
At se på opnåede mål i stedet for uopnåede er lidt af en kunst sommetider. Jeg er ikke for god til det, men med hele min situation har jeg været tvunget til at se på hverdagen med andre øjne.
Jeg ved ikke hvorfor vi mest fokuserer på det vi ikke fik gjort, men det ville bestemt gavne os alle hvis tempoet blev sat lidt ned, og folk generelt var mere taknemmelige for "små" resultater.
Jeg øver mig i hvert tilfælde.... :0))
Great to read your "updates", Ulla. I especially liked the pics of the bag you made. So sweet! I'm sure she'll love it.
ReplyDeleteTasken er altså bare så fin - jeg kan godt forstå, at hun blev glad for den! Godt at nisserne blev genskabt og bukserne færdige! Jeg har faktisk googlet på det svenske stof, men jeg er ikke kommet det nærmere - og det har du jo nok også gjort selv! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Du linker i øvrigt til mig på din blog (og tak for det!), men linket går til min gamle adresse, og der kommer ikke til at ske mere. Bare et tip. ;)
lovely bag
ReplyDeletei folowed you from cathy gaubert becasue you say you turn 38 in may - and so do i ! when exactly ? :-)
wow, that's a gorgeous bag!
ReplyDeleteSikke en skøn taske... (det har jeg vist nok også skrevet før), men jeg ville virkeligt blive GLAD, hvis jeg fik sådan en taske af min veninde
ReplyDeleteThe birthday bag is perfect. You did a great job on it!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Katherine :0) Even though she got 3 yellow bags, I think she liked the one I made her. Luckily they all looked differently!
ReplyDelete...............
Tak for det, Astrid :0) Det er rart at se sig tilbage en gang imellem og opdage at der trods alt er sket lidt ;0)
Underligt med dit bloglink, for jeg havde ændret det 1 gang. Nu skulle det i hvert tilfælde virke ;0)
Det svenske stof er jeg desværre heller ikke kommet nærmere på. Dog er jeg sikker på at jeg nok skal finde det før eller siden ;0)
.................
Thanks a lot, Raggy Rat. I adore Cathy's blog too - she's such an inspireing woman.
I turn 38 on the 16th of May...weird that time flies so fast!!
.................
I'm really happy that you think so, Christy :0) I enjoyed making it and I know that it will not be the last time I make something like that again ;0)
.................
Det var sødt sagt, Rosanna - tak for det :0))
Jeg kunne simpelthen bare ikke finde nogle tasker i gul, så derfor måtte jeg selv i gang ;0)
.................
Oiyi, thank you very much :0) I tried to sew some of the things which we carry inside our bags, on the outside of this bag. That's why it's a lipstick, a purse and that kind of stuff ;0)
