Happy birthday sis (2 days ago)

My sister turned 41, saturday. 

I made her this scarf, it is not perfect, but she loved it, so who cares?

To many projects!

I bought a quilt tutorial from Rachel, and i started last night, cutting all the little squares. Allready I'm straying....hers is 6x6 squares, mine is 8x8...

I'm still not sure this is how I want the pattern...what do you think?

I do love all the vintage fabric, and it has been hidden away in a box for too long.
Brian made dinner (again), and it was just yummy, even thoug I'm not a real cheese-lover. He even baked the bread. The dark one has sun-dried tomatoes in it. Yum again.This fantastic machine came in the mail today, my very own Gocco printer. Really can't wait to get started. But i feel like i have to have just the RIGHT piece to print, so i won't waste any supplies. It's going to be so much fun.
Tomorrow my big sister is turning 40, and we are going to surprice her with not one, but two little surprice parties. We are coming for breakfast, which she doesn't know, of course. Then when she thinks it's all over, we are all coming again for dinner. All credit must be given to her husband, he is the mastermind behind all this. He even bought the present from all of us, a new bike.

I'v been gone for too long

It has been allmost 3 weeks since my last post so a lot has been going on. 

The 21st of may i went to "Livsstilsmesse på Ledreborg".

It is a really beautiful place, filled with lots of beautifull things (very overpriced things). The weather was ok, but not great, so i didn't take that many pictures. 

The carnival came to town, and Benjamin had his very first ride in the bumper cars. 

...and his very first ride down the big slide - the girl next to him is my best friends daughter, Kamille.

In-between all this i had to prepare for my art exam. Which meant making two Red ridinghood collages. In the process i learned (my self) how to embroider, I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but I am pretty satisfied with the result - see pictures below.

Yesterday was exam day, so i put up all the art work i have made in class for the past two years.

...and the exam project.

This is my Jim Houser paraphrase (yes also Red ridinghood)

The whole thing!

I past the exam, not greatly, but I'm ok with the grade.

Today we are going to a summer-party at the kindergarden! So i have just baked 40 pigs in a blanket...

Scrap-a-mania - Here I come

I'm going to SAM today with two friends, I'm actually looking forward to spend a lot of money on a lot of scrap-goodies (though i don't think a actually spend a lot compared to some of the scrappping women outthere, I read on scrapsisters that some of them in the past has spent 2500-3000kr every month on scrap-stuff....!!!!).

Afterwards we are going out to dinner and then here to scrap, scrap, scrap. It's going to be so much fun and relaxing instead of doing schoolwork aaaaaallllll of the time.

I finished my scanography project, these are some of the best pictures and the finished collage:

This was just for fun - but turned out sweet

If only i had the skills...

I would make these!
