. . .which made me smile today.
1.
The lovely and very handy pincushion which sweet Valerie made for me. I have found the perfect place for it. I always need a place to put my needles when I sew.
2.
The little arrangement in our livingroom. I adore the many different trays one can buy in IKEA. This is an old one, but it's a favourite anyway. And the plant remind me of these - I love, love, love those little round pale pink flowers. I must remind myself to buy some seeds, so I can get them in my garden again.
3.
And finally this amazing dress from a knitting book I recently bought. It's called Mere Feminin Strik (More Feminin Knitting) and it's written by the always clever Lene holme Samsøe.
When I first flicked through the pages of the book, I immediately fell in love with the dress (or tunic if you like). It's precisely what I would adore wearing to Emil's confirmation, and I have been searching high and low for it ever since!
So, now I hope that one of you out there knows exactly who it has been made by - and maybe even where I can buy it. Okay, that's probably a bit too optimistic...
I knew that from the very minute I weaved in the turquoise embroidery floss, to mark where the decreasings were going to be made.
And I have an idea about which buttons I want to use - or should I say which I want to make...
