Chasing a rabbit....

At lunch time I was quitely doing the dishes. Every-thing was calm and I was humming a tune from the radio. I looked out of our kitchen window and saw the things I used to see. The shed, the pile of sand, the big pots of herbs....

A few minutes later an animal ran by - "maybe it is our cat" I said to myself. All of a sudden the animal began to jump ahead - not a thing a cat usually does - and what about the little, white, fluffy tail? Which cat was that? "Oh, it is a very fat hare" I sensibly concluded .

THEN I CAME TO MY SENSES: "Svupper" (our rabbit!) I shouted even though it couldn't hear me and no one else but me was at home...

I feverishly grabbed four carrots - as if that would do any good for a rabbit on the run - and rapidly put on the first pair of shoes in sight. I ran into our garden while I called out for our rabbit. Taught by bitter experience I put on a pair of my husbands red

working gloves (a rabbit can be SO wild whilst on the run!!!) Now our cat wanted to see what was going on: a cat + a rabbit = bad combination. I luckily got a hold of Svupper and meanwhile I tried to push the cat away to avoid stepping on it.

Walking was not fast enough beause Svupper - the whippersnapper - realized that the escape was over: he was furious and I counted myself lucky that I had put on the ugly working gloves.

Running was the only solution if I wanted to get him safely to the rabbit hutch - so there I was; running across our lawn with a wild rabbit in my hands, while I was yelling "steady Svupper, steady Svupper". (I hope that none of our neighbours heard me, but beliving that will be kidding myself!!)

I reached the rabbit hutch and Svupper was safe and sound, all though his tiny heart was pounding so hard (and mine too!!)

Just another, ordinary day at home.......

Homemade OK....

This lovely fabric is chosen by my daughter Anne-Sophie. I'm going to make a tunic for her one of these days....I think it is quite nice to sew and knit things for my children. Even though they both have had periods in their lives, where they ABSOLUTELY NOT wanted to wear something homemade.....

Luckily they are in a "homemade OK" period right now!

I finished making a sweater and a hat for our little neighbour boy Oskar, and got a sweet hug from him. The best thing about sewing clothes for children is when I feel that they get happy and satisfied.

Actually our other little neighbour girl, Maria, came to visit me today and brought me a wonderful jar of jam that she made herself. With a beautiful picture of her - in a dress I made - on the jaw. So cute!

Well, I'm of to see the exciting Danish serial "Forbrydelsen". I wonder who did it??

Too tired...

November it is.....The 11th month of 2007.

I fell like it is a different time of the year due to the warm weather.

On exactly this date a few years ago, I remember that we had a lot of snow. The chance for snow is there, but look what I found in our garden which absolutely proves otherwise:

A RASPBERRY.....

I have started to cut and sew a couple of christmasdresses. One of them in red and paleblue fabrics.

But I am quite lazy when it comes to sewing today, so I guess I will continue tomorrow instead...

I did, however, wind up some beautiful yarn that I received in the mail.
