While looking for some photos of our sweet cousin Emma (who is going to be confirmated soon and gets to have a surprise), I found this one.
It's a six year old photo of a bed linen, which Emil and I made together for our nephew/cousin Thorbjørn, who had just been born at that time.
He had decided to make sheep for Thorbjørn. Because in case he couldn't sleep, he could always count sheep on the top of his duvet - hence the numbers over each sheep.
When the bed linen had been sewn and wrapped, I must admit that I wish we could have kept Emil's gorgeous sheep for ourselves.
And Emil felt the same way, even though he wanted to give his new little cousin a fine present.
It would have been so fun to have...
I simply have to look for the drawings he made - I know I kept them. Maybe I could make another set just like it.
Fantastisk! Og ja, det er litt synd å ha gitt bort, heldige mottager!
ReplyDeleteFor et flott samarbeide!
Mange tak, Merete. :))
DeleteDet var simpelthen så sjovt at lave sengesættet sammen med Emil, da han selv var en lille dreng. Og sjovt at se og høre hvordan han fandt frem til, at det var får han ville tegne. :))
Han var så stolt over sit arbejde da vi var færdige.
Det kunne have været sjovt for Emil at have sengesættet til sine egne børn engang.
Hav en rigtig god weekend. :))
Super sød ide at bruge Emils tegninger til sådan et formål Ulla.........og hvor er de bare søde - men kan sagtens følge dig, selv om det er en super skøn gave at give, så er der så meget personlighed i den at det ville have været sjovt selv at beholde. Men jeg er sikker på at Thorbjørn har sovet godt med sådan et fantastisk sæt sengetøj :0)

Det var sjovt at lave sengesættet sammen med Emil da han var lille, Dorthe. han var jo ellers ikke den vilde forbruger af papir og farveblyanter, men lige det her ville han meget gerne. ;))
DeleteDet ville godt nok have været fedt hvis vi havde beholdt sættet, men pyt. Jeg må lave et andet sæt når tegningerne er fundet igen.
Heldigvis blev Thorbjørns far og mor glade for sættet og værdsatte specielt Emils indsats. Så det var godt. :))
Og hold da op hvor jeres udestue forsvandt hurtigt. Jeg er så spændt på at se jeres nye. :))
Knus

Oh how sweet and what a great idea! I can understand you would have rather kept it but I cross my fingers you find the drawings and redo these sheeps.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for Juliane to arrive this evening. She will stay for a week and give another doll making course next weekend, until then we have time for catching up eye to eye (not ear to ear) and maybe sew some things...
Come on over as well!

I have a fairly good idea where to find Emil's sheep drawing, Nina. So the bed linen will definitely be made again sometime in the future. :))
DeleteIt sounds absolutely wonderful that you and Juliane are going to spend some lovely days together. I'm sure that you will both enjoy it very much. :)) Seing each other for real is so much more special. I bet that being with you 2 will be SO inspirering.
Have a gorgeous week - and thanks a lot for your sweet "invitation". That would have been so cool. :))

How adorable! Those sheep might be the cutest darn thing Ive ever seen. Great minds think alike.

Thank you so much, Carla. :)) I'm really happy that you like Emil's little sheep. He's 14 years old by now, and he remembers very well when he got the idea to draw sheep for the baby to count. :))
ReplyDeleteThe dress your daughter and you made was so fine. Such a dress will give your girl so many lovely experiences, I think. Both now and when she grows older. It would be wonderful to show it to her own children one day in the future. :))
