More tidy

During the weekend I worked on getting my sewing room and fabrics more tidy. So when I sit behind my sewing machine I can see this:

I sorted out my fabrics and the ones I know I will never use, I put in a bag. Then Emil can take these fabrics to school - they are always happy to get some fabric to use in crafting lessons.

I do however have some fabrics left and I recently made this little apron out of some of them.

This side can be used while baking the Christmas cookies...

And the other side is for everyday life....

Knitted and felted

Remember how much my daughter enjoyed knitting??

The black poncho is all done...and has been so for many months. I really love to see Anne-Sophie wear something which she has made all by herself... Since then she has made a purple scarf and recently she began another knitting project.

She has decided to make a pair of knitted and felted slippers. The pattern was found on the very inspirering website made by DROPS. This is how they are going to look like, when they are done. The yarn she is using, is a fine shade of green and 100% of wool - Natur Uld. With this project Anne-Sophie has gotton around to use various knitting terms, and she's getting the hang of it, if you ask me.

The slippers are not for herself...they are a part of a advent calender she is making for her boyfriend. And he loves homemade slippers...that she already knows!
