It has been ages since I have been here - sometimes I pop by my blog, and think that it belongs to someone else. Far from feeling any urge to write a single word.<br />
<br />
I stopped writing here rather sudden. My beloved father was diagnosed with cancer, and although he fought back more than anyone would believe, we sadly lost him almost a year ago. And with him went my words...at least in this space.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this is one in a new line of blog posts, but to be honest I can't tell if there will be another one. Only time can tell.<br />

The only bad thing about it is, that we have to wait a while for it to be released. In Denmark it will be published at the end of August. I just pre-ordered it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm doing a bit of baby/toddler knitting myself these days. Remeber <a href="http://www.lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2013/02/pink-elephants.html">this elephant cardigan</a>? So far the 2½ rows of wandering elephants have increased to 7 rows. And I'm actually also doing quite well on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boxy">Boxy </a>- like sweater I promised to make for Anne-Sophie in <a href="http://holstgarn.dk/samarkand-uld-silke-33/sa16-charcoal-3746.html">this beautiful yarn</a>.. Soon the front and the back will be done.</div>

Hvis du holdt lige så meget af <a href="http://lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2012/05/aaaarrrrghhh.html">denne bog</a>, som jeg gør, så bliver du sikkert begejstret for at høre, at endnu en strikkebog er på vej fra Vibe Ulrik Søndergaard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Denne gang handler det om strik til babyer, og det kan man altid bruge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Den eneste ting der er træls ved bogen er, at vi må vente et stykke tid før den bliver udgivet. I Danmark kommer den i slutningen af august. Jeg har lige forudbestilt den.</div>
<br />
Jeg er selv i gang med lidt baby/små børns strik i disse dage. Husker du <a href="http://www.lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2013/02/pink-elephants.html">denne elefant cardigan</a>? Indtil videre er de 2½ rækker med vandrende elefanter forøget til 7 rækker. Og faktisk går det også helt godt med den <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boxy">Boxy</a> - lignende sweater, som jeg lovede at lave til Anne-Sophie i <a href="http://holstgarn.dk/samarkand-uld-silke-33/sa16-charcoal-3746.html">dette smukke garn</a>. snart er for- og bagstykkerne færdige.<br />
<br />
Og hvem ville ikke fortsætte med at strikke på en regnvejrsdag som denne?<br />

What a great idea to combine sewing clothes with origami! I'm very excited to see more about the topic, and I wonder whether the patterns will look as elegant through all of the pages, or whether I think that it becomes a bit too much with the origami. The patterns are to be made from 2 years to 12 years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">...nogle nye bøger. I går kiggede jeg på forskellige bog shops, og der var så mange nye og interessante bøger, der bliver tilgængelige i den nærmeste fremtid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Den der gjorde mig allermest glad, var den herunder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Wenches bog om at lave dukker <a href="http://www.klematis.dk/d/Tusindfryd-dukker-i789.html">TUSINDFRYD DUKKER</a> bliver mest snart udgivet på fransk. <a href="http://www.renaud-bray.com/books_product.aspx?id=1380519&def=Poup%C3%A9es+chiffon%2CSTEENSEN%2C+WENCHE+O.%2C9782350322537">POUPÉES CHIFFON</a> er den franske titel. Det er bare dejligt for søde Wenche - jeg håber at virkelig at mange flere får glæde af hendes bog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Jeg har et blødt hjerte for trøjer strikket med vendestrik. Formen er flatterende og smuk, og at strikke med den teknik er altid sjovt. Så bogen ovenfor så ud som noget jeg vil kunne lide. Den hedder <a href="http://www.decitre.fr/livres/mon-gilet-prefere-9782012307308.html">MON GILET PRÉFÉRÉ</a> er skrevet af Naoko Shimoda og overst til fransk af Marie Maurin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Selvom jeg har en hund, kan jeg nu stadig godt lide katte, og netop det er temaet i denne bog. <a href="http://www.letempsapprivoise.fr/les-chats-au-point-de-croix-perette-samouiloff-9782299001944">LES CHATS AU POINT DE CROIX</a> handler om katte syet i korssting. Ingen laver, efter min mening, korsstings bøger som franskmændene og japanerne. Så denne bog er absolut et godt bud på en kommende bog in min bogreol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Endelig stødte jeg på <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Couture-origami-V%C3%AAtements-petites-filles/dp/2814101471">COUTURE ORIGAMI</a> af Céline Girardeau. Sikke en god idé at kombinere syning af tøj og origami. Jeg er meget spændt på at se mere om emnet, Og jeg er spændt på at se, om mønstrene vil være lige så elegante gennem hele bogen, eller om jeg synes det bliver for meget meget origami delen.

<br />
The notorious birthday sweater for Christian. and maybe you wonder why you haven't seen it done, here on my blog (or maybe not because you are used to me being a slow knitter!)<br />
<br />
But here is the reason why I haven't felt the need to flash it. 3 sleeves. 3!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTR_5V5X_-fgtt8uDLpHRk4sLnYFOB5PX19Gkpr1bauNQV4sxqeYj_MA9eAMLHUtHGB1j0otqlAB2Ahi8r386m-VWBMzcrV7tzBjnWrGF0xOT2bZtdOZbUqdJB8pq_25ksmjestMddbc/s1600/IMAG0372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHTR_5V5X_-fgtt8uDLpHRk4sLnYFOB5PX19Gkpr1bauNQV4sxqeYj_MA9eAMLHUtHGB1j0otqlAB2Ahi8r386m-VWBMzcrV7tzBjnWrGF0xOT2bZtdOZbUqdJB8pq_25ksmjestMddbc/s640/IMAG0372.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Almost done with the 2nd one, I discovered that my incresing had gone terribly wrong. And after a despressing fit on Christian, I sadly realised that a 3rd one was a necessity.<br />
<br />
Now I'm nearly done with that one too - finally! Sleeves are boring, and definitely even more tedious when it's sleeves x 3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxnHRCWb5FEldCPAd0NzQ5jrTK0VrxhI7P6l9-rcEtfZksYWD9GoJjE3XuJcyGpTrbK9WSiXG71QA_rJ3L4eGcgLB7L90z2A7scjOMBe4qp_Ar1JL0gKsSguneneHcE2U2sH3LFNwjL2Q/s1600/IMAG0371.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxnHRCWb5FEldCPAd0NzQ5jrTK0VrxhI7P6l9-rcEtfZksYWD9GoJjE3XuJcyGpTrbK9WSiXG71QA_rJ3L4eGcgLB7L90z2A7scjOMBe4qp_Ar1JL0gKsSguneneHcE2U2sH3LFNwjL2Q/s640/IMAG0371.jpg" width="444" /></a></div>
<br />
However I have to say that I did find some icing on the cake. Christian is absolutly thrilled about his forthcoming sweater, and that is all worth it to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04;">||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jeg går ud fra at du kan huske<a href="http://ravel.me/lilleursus/z4eao"> denne sweater</a>. Den famøse fødselsdags sweater til Christian, og måske undrer du dig over, at du ikke har set den gjort færdig her på min blog (eller måske undrer du dig ikke, fordi du er vant til at jeg strikker langsomt!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Men her er grunden til, at jeg ikke har haft lyst til at flashe den. 3 ærmer. 3!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Næsten færdig med det 2. ærme, opdagede jeg at mine udtagninger var gået helt galt. Og efter en nedslående prøvepasning på Christian, indså jeg desværre at et 3. ærme var en nødvendighed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nu er jeg næsten færdig med det også - endelig! Ærmer er kedelige, og helt bestemt endnu mere kedsommelige når det hedder ærmer x 3.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jeg må dog sige, at pynten på kransekagen var der trods alt. Christian er utrolig begejstret over sin fremtidige sweater og det gør virkelig, at det er alt besværet værd.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need something to put over me when I take out Otto (our dog), or go on a little visit at my parents' who live not far from me. Something which isn't a jacket, and something which is light and easy to put on and off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</tbody></table>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
And since I have had my eyes on <a href="http://www.garn-iture.dk/818/design-9">Dorthe's (who own GARNI-TURE) lovely poncho</a>, I decided that it was the answer to my problem.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday night I ordered yarn and pattern and already the following Monday afternoon, the postman knocked on my door carrying the package from GARN-ITURE. I love when a purchase go as fast as that...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again I metion that fine shop, because there are so many reasons to emphasize it. I still haven't visited it yet, but I sure hope to do so shortly. Luckily I can visit the <a href="http://www.garn-iture.dk/">GARN-ITURE webshop</a> to get my need for looking at the wonderful stuff fulfilled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and fabrics which you don't see every where, are just some of the choices you have to tempt you in the shop.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For now I stick to my poncho. I wonder if I can't start knitting it, now that I'm nearly done with Christian's birthday sweater...just nice and easy and without consideration of the heap of unfinished knitting projects, which await my attention in my knitting basket.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jeg mangler noget til at svinge over mig når jeg skal ud med Otto (vores hund), eller lige "suse" op til mine forældre der bor ganske kort herfra. Noget der ikke er en jakke, og noget som er let og hurtigt at tage af og på.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
Og da jeg længe har haft kig på Dorthes (fra GARN-ITURE) smukke poncho, blev jeg enig med mig selv om, at den var den rette løsning på mit problem.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: left;">Fredag aften bestilte jeg garn og opskrift, og allerede mandag eftermiddag bankede posten på med pakken fra GARN-ITURE. Jeg elsker når handler går hurtigt...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2011/03/garniture-from-garn-iture.html">Endnu en gang nævner jeg denne fine butik</a>, for der er al mulig grund til at fremhæve den. Jeg har endnu ikke besøgt den i levende live, men satser bestemt på at gøre det inden længe. Heldigvis kan jeg stille lysten til garn og deslige på <a href="http://www.garn-iture.dk/450/forsiden">GARN-ITUREs webshop</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
og tekstiler som du ikke støder på alle vegne, er bare lidt af det udvalg der kan friste i butikken.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Indtil videre holder jeg mig til min poncho. Gad vide om ikke jeg kan starte op på den, nu da jeg næsten er færdig med Christians fødselsdags trøje...bare lige så stille, og uden at skele til de mange ufærdige sager der venter i strikkekurven.</div>

My husband made me a new aggregate. A yarn holder!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have missed one of those for ages, and meanwhile I have been very irritated at all the tangled threads, whenever I have been knitting something with many different colours of yarn. And at the same time I didn't want to buy and spend several hundreds of kroner on one, when I knew that Christian could make me a very fine yarn holder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9RT9S-KMuCbnXLbO8cSM7_Bgl4COTGRwzUoP-fbYxbaNxZ9yVU4_Ku5bjAYtVCesQsq1Z4IRsDOsayytYsiZokrfh76uMKLnMPbnB3wCSFRREiwetqdromzVIqezHdeFrASp0pVaq8tc/s1600/DSC03705.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9RT9S-KMuCbnXLbO8cSM7_Bgl4COTGRwzUoP-fbYxbaNxZ9yVU4_Ku5bjAYtVCesQsq1Z4IRsDOsayytYsiZokrfh76uMKLnMPbnB3wCSFRREiwetqdromzVIqezHdeFrASp0pVaq8tc/s640/DSC03705.png" width="490" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Christian made it from a heavy piece of oak wood and some metal sticks. It's so useful and I love that he put his time and effort in to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wooden bottom doesn't move when I knit, something which I had pointed out as an important matter, before Christian started making it. We have searched for some metal helical eyes, to make the threads go through, but we haven't had the luck yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It works perfectly without them, though - and I especially love that the big spools with 5 kilos of yarn or more, don't turn over every time I pull out yarn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Min mand har lavet et nyt aggregat til mig. En garnholder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jeg har manglet sådan en i evigheder, og imens har jeg været frygtelig irriteret over alle de filtrede tråde, når jeg har strikket noget med mange forskellige farver. Og samtidig ville jeg ikke købe en og betale flere hundrede kroner for den, når jeg vidste at Christian kunne lave en rigtig fin garnholder til mig.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Christian lavede den af et tungt stykke egetræ og nogle metal pinde (i mangel af bedre ord). Den er så anvendelig og jeg elsker at han har lagt tid og kræfter i den.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Træbunden bevæger sig ikke når jeg strikker, noget jeg havde fremhævet som en vigtig detalje, før Christian begyndte at lave den. Vi har ledt efter nogle metal lignende spiraler, som trådene skulle gå igennem, men vi har ikke haft heldet med os endnu.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Den virker dog perfekt uden dem - og jeg kan specielt godt lide at de store spoler med 5 kilo garn, eller mere, ikke vælter når jeg trækker i garnet.</div>

I found the finest little Japanese shop the other day. And in it some lovely patterns for women. As I have mentioned several times before, I adore clothes which have simple and elegant lines - and with surprising details. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Like this purple dress/tunic. It is just the kind I love, and the fact that Japanese books and patterns always get presented on photos in the most stylish ways, adds to my enthusiasm.</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
That's why I ordered it- and without understanding a word of the written Japanese in the site. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Another dress caught my eye while I were heading towards checkout. One, which I had to have a closer look at as well.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Stunning was the word that came to my mind. Not that it was something we haven't seen before. But the sum of the few details on the dress, convinced me. So, now I hope to have the patterns here within a week or two. </div>

Jeg fandt den fineste lille japanske shop den anden dag. Og i den, nogle skønne sy mønstre til kvinder. Som jeg har fortalt adskillige gange før, elsker jeg tøj som har enkle og elegante linier - og med overraskende detaljer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Som den lilla kjole/tunika. Det er lige den slags jeg godt kan lide, og det faktum at japanske bøger og mønstre altid bliver vist på fotos på den mest stilfuld måde, øger bare min begejstring.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Så derfor bestilte jeg det - og dét uden at forstå et eneste ord af det skrevne japanske på sitet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
En anden kjole fangede min opmærksomhed mens jeg var på vej til at checke ud. Én som jeg også bare måtte kigge nærmere på.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Fantastisk" var det ord der først faldt mig ind. Ìkke at den var noget vi ikke har set før. Men summen af de få detaljer på kjolen, overbeviste mig. Så nu håber jeg at have mønstrene her om en uge eller to.</div>

<br />
I'm making him a brown sweater with pattern, which he will be able to wear when he's outdoors. Something he appriciates a lot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGrVtZOmkETH-O6TaM28eKhxyWNOQKh5KShYZhaPrcp7nLDoIROKNLKwh7s_A_4zJwifHmAYdA7bthAo28OLJ2yj8qwEwo9x8j8uparmOMkQ6zP3H5g1bGj8tGPtIswnL84rttje7VWs/s1600/IMAG0328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGrVtZOmkETH-O6TaM28eKhxyWNOQKh5KShYZhaPrcp7nLDoIROKNLKwh7s_A_4zJwifHmAYdA7bthAo28OLJ2yj8qwEwo9x8j8uparmOMkQ6zP3H5g1bGj8tGPtIswnL84rttje7VWs/s640/IMAG0328.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The pattern is <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/navigator">this</a>. A simple shape which I adjust along the way. Maybe I will make a turtleneck instead.<br />
<br />
But I'm glad about the time spent knitting. It keeps my mind of all the things which worry me at the moment.<br />
<br />
So far I have a bit more than half a body and 1 sleeve. I had to start knitting the sleeves, in order to see when I can split up the body in a front and a back piece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's about time that I make my sweet husband this sweater. He has been asking me to make him a brown one the last 15 years. Shame on me...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully the 2nd of April will come slowly this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dagene forsvinder for hurtigt i øjeblikket, i hvert tilfælde i forhold til den tid jeg skal bruge til at gøre en fødselsdagsgave færdig til Christian.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jeg er ved at lave ham en brun sweater med mønster, som han vil kunne bruge udendørs. Noget han holder utrolig meget af.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mønsteret er <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/navigator">dette</a>. En simpel facon som jeg justerer undervejs. Måske vil jeg lave en høj hals i stedet for.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Men jeg er glad for at bruge lidt tid på at strikke. Så fjerner det tankerne fra de ting som bekymrer mig i øjeblikket. Jeg er sikker på at de fleste strikkere kender til det.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Indtil videre har jeg lidt mere end en halv bul og 1 ærme. Jeg blev nødt til at begynde at strikke ærmerne, så jeg kan vurdere hvornår bullen kan deles i for- og bagstykke.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Det er på tide at jeg laver denne sweater til min søde mand. Han har spurgt om jeg ikke ville strikke en brun trøje til ham de sidste 15 år. Jeg skammer mig...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Forhåbentlig kommer d. 2. april langsommere dette år.</div>

<br />
If you feel the need for lovely stuff, then you just have to follow the way to Wenche's new beautiful shop. It's called <a href="http://mydailyjunk.bigcartel.com/">My Daily Junk</a> and is owned by Wenche whom you might know from<a href="http://tusindfryd-blog.blogspot.dk/"> the blog Tusindfryd</a>. She's also the talented dollmaker behind the book <a href="http://www.saxo.com/dk/soeg/boeger?keyword=tusindfryd-dukker&x=-997&y=-59">Tusindfryd dukker</a>.<br />
<br />
She is amazing at finding cool items, which can make your day even more colourful and happy. and there is even a gorgeous DIY kit for making a little Waldorf doll.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to get tempted when you enter the shop. I have already bought stickers and other lovely things which I can't live without...<br />
<br />

<br />
Hvis du føler trang til skønne ting, så skal du bare følge vejen til Wenches nye fine butik. Den hedder <a href="http://mydailyjunk.bigcartel.com/">My Daily Junk </a>og er ejet af Wenche, som du måske allerede kender fra<a href="http://tusindfryd-blog.blogspot.dk/"> bloggen Tusindfryd</a>. Hun er også den talentfuld dukkemager bag bogen <a href="http://www.saxo.com/dk/tusindfryd-dukker_wenche-o-steensen_indbundet_9788764106787?utm_campaign=partnersite&utm_source=Pensum.dk&utm_medium=affiliate">Tusindfryds dukker</a>.<br />
<br />
Hun er utrolig god til at finde seje ting som kan gøre din dag endnu mere farverig og glad. Og der er endda et superfint gør det selv kit, så man kan lave en lille Waldorf dukke.<br />
<br />
Vær forberedt på at blive fristet når du "træder ind" i butikken.

I do love the colour mix the designers used for the poncho in the photo, but I wanted to give it my own touch. So I decided to use <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/blackhill-mange-kvaliteter-37/blackhill-hoejlandsuld-12/">Blackhill Højlands Wool from Garnudsalg</a> in the colours <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/blackhill-mange-kvaliteter-37/blackhill-hoejlandsuld-12/prinsesse-toben-sart-rosa-hoejlands-lammeuld-1988.html">Prinsesse Toben</a> and<a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/blackhill-mange-kvaliteter-37/blackhill-hoejlandsuld-12/grov-sennep-hoejlands-lammeuld-447.html"> Grov Sennep</a>. Unfortunately it took me a while to make up my mind while shopping at Garnudsalg, so due to my fickle the pale pink yarn was sold out in the amount I needed. Typically me!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
But I ordered the right amount of Grov Sennep and only 100 grams of Prinsesse Toben. Afterwards I spent a lot of time - read: days - thinking about new options. Which colour could I mix with the Grov Sennep then?<br />

I went to my stash and compared one colour after the other, but I couldn't let go of Prinsesse Toben. But somehow I could only see the poncho in the mix, I had pictured in my head earlier. Don't you know that?<br />
<br />
Sunday morning I thought that I wanted to drop by Garnudsalg's website. <b>And there it was again the lovely Prinsesse Toben!! </b>Looking more beautiful than ever before and in 500 gram cones.<br />
<br />
Now I expectantly await the 500 grams of yarn...and a small amount of <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/nyhed-introtilbud-baby-camel-cashmere-87/kamel-baby-camel-350m-50g-2069.html">the luxurios Baby Camel Cashmere.</a> Just enough to make myself a cowl or scarf to warm my neck.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad that Prinsesse Toben made my day...<br />
<br />

I mit hoved havde jeg en idé til farver og materiale til den skønne poncho (ovenover) fra <a href="http://www.pickles.no/vimpel-ponchogenser">Pickles</a>. Jeg kan nu godt lide det farvemix designerne lavede til ponchoen på fotoet, men jeg ville gerne give den mit eget præg. Så jeg besluttede mig for at bruge <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/">Blackhill Højlands Uld fra Garnudsalg</a>, i farverne <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/blackhill-mange-kvaliteter-37/blackhill-hoejlandsuld-12/prinsesse-toben-sart-rosa-hoejlands-lammeuld-1988.html">Prinsesse Toben </a>og <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/blackhill-mange-kvaliteter-37/blackhill-hoejlandsuld-12/grov-sennep-hoejlands-lammeuld-447.html">Grov Sennep</a>.</div>
<br />
Uheldigvis tog det mig lidt tid at bestemme mig, mens jeg handlede hos Garnudsalg, så pga. mit vægelsind blev den pastelfarvede lyserøde udsolgt i den mængde jeg havde brug for. Typisk mig!<br />
<br />
Men jeg bestilte den rette mængde af Grov Sennep og blot 100 gram af Prinsesse Toben. Efterfølgende brugte jeg masser af tid (læs: dage) på at tænke på nye muligheder. Hvilken farve kunne jeg så mixe med Grov Sennep?<br />
<br />
Jeg kiggede i mit garnlager og sammenlignede den ene farve efter den anden, men jeg kunne ikke slippe tanken om Prinsesse Toben. Jeg kunne blot se ponchoen i det farvemix jeg havde forestillet mig i mit hoved tidligere. Kender du ikke det?<br />
<br />
Søndag formiddag tænkte jeg, at jeg lige ville surfe over på Garnudsalgs hjemmeside. Og dér var Prinsesse Toben igen!! Mere smuk ud end nogensinde før og i 500 grams cones.<br />
<br />
Nu venter jeg med spænding på de 500 gram garn...og en lille mængde af det luksuriøse <a href="http://garnudsalg.dk/nyhed-introtilbud-baby-camel-cashmere-87/">Baby Camel Cashmere</a>. Lige præcis nok til at jeg kan lave et halsrør eller et tørklæde til mig selv, så det kan varme min nakke.<br />
<br />
Hvor er jeg da glad for at Prinsesse Toben reddede min dag...<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">2 beautiful books came in a flat envelope today - from Århus. I thought that I had ordered them in </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Copenhagen, but instead it was from </span><a href="http://www.toenderingstrik.dk/" style="text-align: left;">Tøndering Strik</a><span style="text-align: left;">. A gorgeous shop.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must be getting older, since I can't remember things like that or perhaps my mind is too preoccupied at the moment. I almost know that it's the latter...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first book is a funny little one - the kind which I adore. <a href="http://www.toenderingstrik.dk/boger/strikkede-striber-forar.html">Strikkede striber forår</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's inspiring to see how the 2 authors think of knitting in another way, and that it doesn't <i>has</i> to be about making clothes when you knit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2012/09/en-l-i-l-l-e-b-i-t-t-e-smule-om.html"> Maybe you remember a book with a similar title, which I mentioned last autumn.</a> It's the same 2 women who have written this new book about more stripes.</div>

2 smukke bøger kom i en flad hvid konvolut i dag - fra Århus. Jeg troede at jeg havde bestilt dem i København, men i stedet for var det hos <a href="http://www.toenderingstrik.dk/">Tøndering Strik</a> i Århus. En fantastisk butik.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jeg må være ved at blive gammel, siden jeg ikke kan huske den slags ting, eller også er min hjerne bare optaget af andre ting i øjeblikket. Jeg ved næsten at det skyldes det sidstnævnte.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Den første bog er en sjov lille en - den slags jeg holder af. <a href="http://www.toenderingstrik.dk/boger/strikkede-striber-forar.html">Strikkede striber forår</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Det er inspirerende at se hvordan de to forfattere tænker på dét at strikke på en anderledes måde, og at det ikke nødvendigvis <i>behøver</i> at handle om tøj når man strikker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2012/09/en-l-i-l-l-e-b-i-t-t-e-smule-om.html">Måske kan du huske, at jeg nævnte en bog med en lignende titel i efteråret</a>. Det er de samme 2 kvinder der har skrevet denne nye bog om striber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.toenderingstrik.dk/boger/nordiske-masker-2.html">Nordiske Masker 2</a> var den anden af strikkebøgerne. Jeg elsker simpelthen farveskemaet der er brugt til modellerne i denne bog.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ever since I saw this fantastic cardigan, I have dreamt of making it. I like how the stars give the design a cool touch, and I must say that we could all need to live under lucky stars in my family these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.garn.dk/product.asp?product=5576">The design is by Ann Højgaard Sloth</a> and you can make cardigans for both children and grown ups. Somehow I do think that the stars look better proportioned on the children's size. Or perhaps I'm just influenced by the lovely purple colour along with all the grey, more than by the blue one.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Did I mention that it can be bought <a href="http://www.garn.dk/">here</a> as a kit?<br />
For the time being I had better work on my existing projects, but dreaming is always nice...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lige siden jeg så denne fantastiske cardigan, har jeg drømt om at lave den. Jeg kan godt lide hvordan stjernerne giver designet et cool touch, og jeg må nok sige at alle i min familie kunne have brug for at leve under lykkebringende stjerner i øjeblikket.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.garn.dk/product.asp?product=5576">Den er designet af Ann Højgaard Sloth </a>og du kan lave cardigans til både børn og voksne. Men på en eller anden måde synes jeg, at stjernerne ser bedre proportioneret ud på børnestørrelsen. Eller også er jeg bare påvirket af den smukke lilla sammen med alt det grå, fremfor det blå.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sagde jeg at den kan købes som et kit <a href="http://www.garn.dk/">her</a>?<br />
For nu må jeg hellere arbejde videre på mine eksisterende projekter, men man har jo lov at drømme...</div>

Knitting has not been one of my main priorities lately, but I managed to finish the <a href="http://ravel.me/lilleursus/q7z53">Miss Marple cardigan</a> in time for Christmas. <a href="http://www.lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2012/11/miss-marple-er-mere-end-en-gammel.html">It was a gift for Sarah - our niece.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pleased with the result, but did think that it was too small for a while. A wash and a blogging solved the problem, and now I'm sure that Sarah can wear it.</div>

I found some beautiful wooden buttons for the cardigan. They almost look as if they have been covered with fabric which looks like wood! I didn't want to make all the buttonholes as the recipe said. I like it when a cardigan is open at the buttom.</div>

I haven't been around much lately, December turned out to be a completely different month than we expected it to be.<br />
<br />
Due to serious disease and the sadness which came along with that, none of us have had the energy and Christmas spirit we usually have at this time of year. However, we have decided to make Christmas - and every day ahead - happy and most of all even more full of love.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I can become a more frequent guest here on my blog in the new year.<br />
<br />
I wish each one of you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful time with the ones you love...<br />

Very late the other night, you would have heard me shouting <i>yes</i> in an entusiastic and happy way. A strange way to act in the middle of the night you might think - but maybe you will see why, when you hear that I won the most wonderful book.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://barewunderbar.blogspot.dk/">Rakel at bare wunderbar</a> had the pleasure of giving away 5 copies of this book - <a href="http://www.lindhardtogringhof.dk/titler.aspx?c=Item&category=4945&item=30131">Liv og glade dage by Nicoline Olsen.</a><br />
<br />
How lucky I were to win the book - it was already on my wishlist...at least for a little while. Thank you so much, Rakel.<br />
<br />
And speaking of books, I just ordered Lene Holme Samsøe's new book<a href="http://www.lindhardtogringhof.dk/da-DK/Titler.aspx?c=Item&category=4975&item=30204"> Suveræn strik</a>. I have been waiting for that one. Somehow she tends to inspire so many knitters in Denmark, every time she has been working on more fantastic knit designs. So I have my hopes up for this book too.<br />

Meget sent forleden nat, ville du have kunnet høre mig råbe et entutiastisk og glad <i>yes. </i>Du tænker måske at det var en underlig måde at reagere på midt om natten, men måske forstår du når du hører at det var fordi jeg vandt den mest fantastiske bog.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rakel fra bloggen<a href="http://barewunderbar.blogspot.dk/"> bare wunderbar </a>havde fået fornøjelsen af at kunne give 5 stk. af denne bog væk -<a href="http://www.lindhardtogringhof.dk/titler.aspx?c=Item&category=4945&item=30131"> Liv og glade dage </a>af Nicoline Olsen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hvor var jeg heldig at vinde at bogen...den stod allerede på min ønskeddel...i en lille stund. Tusind tak, Rakel.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apropos bøger, så har jeg netop bestilt Lene holme Samsøes nye bog <a href="http://www.lindhardtogringhof.dk/Titler.aspx?c=Item&category=4975&item=30204">Suveræn strik</a>. den har jeg virkelig ventet på. Hun formår altid at inspirere så mange danske strikkere, hver gang hun har arbejdet på flere fantastiske strik designs. Så jeg har viekwlig positive forventninger til denne bog også.<br />

For <a href="http://lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2009/11/yippeeee.html">years</a> and <a href="http://lille-ursus.blogspot.dk/2011/11/for-only-25-danish-kroner.html">years </a>I have bought the calendar made by <a href="http://www.skalshaandarbejdsskole.dk/index.html">Skals - skolen for design og og håndarbejde.</a> Always excited to see which beautiful ideas the school has come up with for the coming year.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.skalshaandarbejdsskole.dk/salg/kalender/kalender1.html">Each month represents a piece of craft or maybe some food related to the school</a>. And the fact that you find recipes in the back of the calendar, makes it all even more lovely.<br />
<br />
This is a photo of November from the 2012 calender, because I haven't been to town to buy my 2013 one yet. I keep it in my kitchen in a place where the fine photo of the month meets my eyes many times during a day. Often, I flick through the pages of the calendar, and refresh the ideas.<br />

If you would like to get one for yourself, <a href="http://www.skalshaandarbejdsskole.dk/salg/kalender/kalender1.html">you can buy it at the school</a>, at the online shop<a href="http://www.sommerfuglen.dk/shop/skals-kalender-2013-15946p.html"> Sommerfuglen</a> and in many shops in Viborg.<br />

I dag er dagen, hvor min absolutte yndlings kalender - endelig - kommer til salg.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I årevis har jeg købt kalenderen lavet af <a href="http://www.skalshaandarbejdsskole.dk/">Skals - skolen for design og håndarbejde</a>. Altid spændt på at se hvilke smukke idéer de har fundet på til det kommende år. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hver måned indeholder et stykke håndarbejde eller noget mad der har relation til skolen. Og dét at du kan finde opskrifter på det bagerst i kalenderen, gør den bare endnu mere skøn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ovenover er et billede af november fra 2012 udgaven, for jeg har endnu ikke været i byen for at købe mit 2013 eksemplar. Min kalender hænger i mit køkken på et sted, hvor månedens fine foto fanges af mine øjne mange gange i løbet af en dag. Ikke så sjældent bladrer jeg gennem kalenderens sider og genopfrisker årets idéer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hvis du gerne selv vil have dig et eksemplar, kan du bl.a. købe det <a href="http://www.skalshaandarbejdsskole.dk/salg/kalender/kalender1.html">på skolen</a>, hos online butikken <a href="http://www.sommerfuglen.dk/shop/skals-kalender-2013-15946p.html">Sommerfuglen</a> og i mange forretninger i Viborg.</div>

I strømmen af mønstre på smukke cardigans med retro look, er <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miss-marple-4">Miss Marple</a> helt klart en favorit. Den minder mig om min barndoms lange søndage med varm frokost, og udforskende bilture rundt i landet iført det pæne tøj. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Det er en cardigan af den slags, som man gerne tog ud over en fin kjole. Allerhelst en som min mor selv havde syet, og hvor jeg selv fik lov til at bestemme farve og stof.</div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Denne cardigan er tiltænkt til brug på alle ugens dage, og modtageren er vores niece Sarah. Den skal være en del af hendes julegave.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Det er et skønt mønster og jeg blev meget begejstret da designeren <span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://ittybittyblog.canalblog.com/">Nadia Crétin-Léchenne</a> proklamerede, at et lignende mønster til voksne var undervejs. Og selvfølgelig kunne den ikke hedde andet end <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lady-marple">Lady Marple.</a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Et halvt ærme er hvad jeg mangler, så for en gangs skyld ser det ud til at jeg nærmest er på forkant med en hjemmelavet julegave. I hvert tilfælde denne...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />
Masser af strikke og broderi inspiration var der også at finde i de nye bøger jeg fik forleden. Theresa Maria Jessings fortællinger om stort og småt i den nye bog<a href="http://bog.nu/titler/livet-paa-kastaniegaarden-theresa-maria-jessing"> "Livet på Kastaniegården"</a>, Helga Isagers udgivelse på svensk <a href="http://www.shop.amimono.dk/AS/BOeGER/FINSTICKAT.html">"Finstickat"</a> og<a href="http://jacquipearce.wordpress.com/tag/supersize-stitches/"> "Supersize stitches" af Jacqu Pearce</a><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3b382d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">Jeg kan varmt anbefale dem alle.</span></span><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">Among the many beautiful patterns for retro look cardigans, Miss marple is definitely a hit. It reminds me of </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">the long Sundays in my childhood, when we had warm lunches and drove around exploring our country wearing our </span></span></span><span style="color: #3b382d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 14px;">best clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">It's the kind of cardigan, which we wore over a fine dress. Preferably one which my mother had sewn </span></span></span><span style="color: #3b382d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 14px;">herself, and I had chosen the colour and the fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">This particular cardigan is meant to be worn on every day of the week, and the recipient is our niece Sarah. </span></span></span><span style="color: #3b382d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 14px;">It's going to be a part of her Christmas present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">It's a lovely pattern and I were very pleased when the designer announced that a similar pattern for grownups </span></span></span><span style="color: #3b382d; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 14px;">was on it's way. And of course it couldn't have another name than Lady Marple.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #3b382d;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">Half a sleeve is what I need to knit to finish Miss Marple, so for once it seems as if I'm </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.383333206176758px;">at the cutting edge of a homemade Christmas present. At least this one...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20.383333206176758px;">Lots of knitting and embroidery inspiration are also found in the new books I got the other day. Theresa Maria Jessing's stories about anything and nothing in her new book <i><a href="http://bog.nu/titler/livet-paa-kastaniegaarden-theresa-maria-jessing">Livet på Kastaniegården</a></i>, Helga Isager's publication in Swedish <i><a href="http://www.shop.amimono.dk/AS/BOeGER/FINSTICKAT.html">Finstickat</a></i> and <a href="http://jacquipearce.wordpress.com/tag/supersize-stitches/">Supersize stitches by Jacqu Pearce</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.383333206176758px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; line-height: 20.383333206176758px;">I can highly recommend them all.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;">For et stykke tid siden begyndte jeg på et lille broderi. </span></div>
<br style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" />
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Jeg syer med <a href="http://bettyp.dk/sytrad/332-neon-sytrad.html">den smukke koral farvede neontråd fra Betty P</a>. Fra jeg så neontrådene for første gang, har de indbudt til at blive omsat til små broderisting.</span><br />
<br style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;" />
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;">At jeg købte alle de 5 ruller tråd i neon nuancer har jeg ikke fortrudt et sekund. Adskillige projekter har fået tilføjet et lille neon pift, og det er simpelthen en fornøjelse at arbejde med de livlige farver og den stærke tråd.</span><br />

Jeg laver bogstaver på en tunika jeg syede til mig selv i sensommeren. Den er lavet i en let chambrey i grå. Jeg holder meget af den slags stof, da det ikke blot er én stor flade af en bestemt farve, men derimod et virvar af grå tråde på kryds og på tværs.</div>
</div>

Hvad jeg skriver med neon er ikke til at vide...forhåbentlig dukker det op inden længe.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Rent faktisk drømmer jeg allermest om at min familie og jeg havde vores helt egen skov - og et nedlagt husmandssted på landet. Men når nu den drøm ikke lige bliver opfyldt, så kan jeg nøjes med en indendørs skov.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Af den slags som hverken taber blade eller nåle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hold nu op hvor er de nye<a href="http://www.kahlerdesign.com/en"> Kähler </a>stager bare flotte! Træerne er om muligt endnu smukkere - og mere anvendelige året rundt - i grå. Og koglerne...sikke en gennemført idé.<br />
<br />
Jeg skal helt bestemt fælde træer i nærmeste fremtid.</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of all I would love for my family and I to have a forest of our own - and a small farm in the countryside. But since that dream isn't available right now, then I can settle for an indoor forest.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
The kind which doesn't drop leaves nor coniferouses.<br />
<br />
My, the new candle holders from Kähler are wonderful! The trees are even more beautiful - and more useful all year round - in grey. And the cones...what a marvellous idea.</div>
<div>
<br />
I'm definitely going to cut trees in near future.<br />
<br />
