"The Fabric Syndicate"

If you have been to the annual exhibitions at "Skals Håndarbejdsskole" you will probably be familiar with these GEORGEOUS, georgeous fabrics....

It's the most wonderful wowen cotton, in pretty colours. It feels so nice when you hold it, and the feeling of it tells you how great it is to use and wear.

When I took embroidery classes at "Skals Håndarbejdsskole" I saw these amazing pieces of fabric all the time. I also had the possibility to buy them for the projects I embroidered. But after I stopped, I have thought about the fabrics many times since....

They all come from a shop in Copenhagen which is called "Stof Syndikatet" (the fabric syndicate) So it's a bit far away for me to go there every other day ;0)

Luckily I recently discovered that the shop sends their fabrics all over Denmark. What a surprise.....and a way to make lots of ideas come true!

I will definitely recommend that you have a look!

Are you here NOW??

I don't really know whether it's me who has too little experience in gardening, or if it's nature going weird??

I picked this flower - Fransk Anemone in Danish - in our garden. Another one is on it's way. I thought that they were supposed to bloom in early summer.....

I have a hippo named after me....

Do you remember this dotted hippo?

I made it for my wonderful niece Emma, when she broke her arm in the spring.

After she got it, she asked me whether she could call it "Ulla". I was very honored, so "Ulla" it was....

Some days ago my dear sister, Lotte, asked me if she had told me the latest news about Ulla the hippo? She hadn't:

Emma has a safe, in which she keeps her treasures.

Inside the safe she has all her medals, which she has won by playing soccer. (Emma is extremely good at soccer...actually all my sister's children are great at sports) And she also keeps "Ulla" the hippo inside the safe.

This is to prevent anything from happening to the things in case of a fire...(7,9,13!!)

This little story is so touching, that it almost made me cry - well, it did make me cry.....and it really says a lot about the beautiful person Emma is...
