Sweet heart

birds in the evening / summer 2011

autumn is here and i miss the summer

øyenkilen: fredrikstad / july 2011

 i have now figured out a way to put photos from my hard drive onto my blog, and because i haven't posted much lately i want to share with you a lot of photos. i'll start with these. a little project i did for the summer cabin. i crocheted "pillow cases" for the rocks and embroidered the letters afterwards.

my boyfriends great grandad built the cabin many years ago.
his nickname was bamse which means teddybear. and bo means something like a house.
bamsebo is the name of the cabin.

øyenkilen: fredrikstad / may 2011

just across the road of torgauten fort,
an ex-german fortress

the fortress is now a museum, only open some
sundays in the summer. we always talk about going there,
'cause it's so close to the summer cabin,
but we never actually go.

a little rainbow on a sunny day

i felt like as if i was doing some kind of extreme sport when i was fitting this piece to the pole 'cause it was so windy that i could've blown away. at least sewing the piece together was impossible, but luckily because of the stripes there was enough small treads to tie it together. usually it takes just a minute to sew a little piece like this, but this stormy day it took me 12 minutes!

kråkerøy, fredrikstad / april 2011

i guess this one will be a puzzle if you are colour-blind

kråkerøy

maybe i should make a really big 'stocking' for the whole chain!

isegran: fredikstad / april 2011

you will pass this heart on your way to isegran for your sunny sunday picnic

maybe i should have put this piece a little bit higher so the sticker would show a heart instead of "shot". and if you don't know who willoch is, you can just imagine a benjamin buttonish politician. it's true, willoch looks like a 80 year old baby

gamlebyen: fredrikstad / april 2011

i made another heart for you!

not the brightest colours but i'm sure you'll see it when you are walking by

a hedgehog!

look at this cute hedgehog! we met it yesterday in the garden of my mother in law. it has a little house in the shrubbery, and another one under some bricks. i hope it will have a happy life and lots of kids!
