Varför göra det lätt när man kan göra det svårt?
Sydde påsar till metet på Elsas kalas av material jag hade hemma. Kul! Men det skulle ju nog gå lika bra med papperspåsar. Men "halvat on hullun huvit", som mamma brukar säga. Mutta aikaa vievää tämä hullun touhu kyllä on.
Made these bags for the fish pond at my daughter's birthday party. I tend to make things more difficult than I would have to- but it was fun and the kids will have something to take with them home. AND I reduced my stash; I used material found at home. You can't really see the change though, maybe I should make them some clothes too...

Edvin gungar i Koffparken
Emma- this one is for you. Är han inte söt? Igår vaknade han och lärde sig vinka. När man klappar vinkar han med båda händerna mot sig själv :) Idag har varit en bra, solig dag. Min romantiska ros, Maiden's blush är planterad och jag fick gammaldags narcisser och en akvileja av Ts gumor. Imorgon hämtar vi ett lass mylla så ska det bli grönsaksland. Jag tog fram gitarren på kvällen, gick bra att spela fast en sträng fattades. Barnen diggade.
Och Lordi vann. What can you say? Hallelujah!

Ready!
Always so nice to get something ready. This is just a small pouch, but anyway. I'm planning to make a collection of different pouches to sell next Christmas. Would be easy to transport... And they're fast and fun to make. And cheap. Need to buy more zippers. I started on SisS ' s bag too, I think it's going to look great, I've been planning it for a few months now. Black and white checkboard is the keyword...
Nu måste jag återgå till teven, kan man låta bli att se på Eurovision songcontest när Finland deltar med Lordi?! Hallelujah.

En sudokudde - a sudocushion
Sudoku är ett perfekt tidsfördriv för en småbarnsmamma. Går att göra med vänstra handen medan man gungar vagnen. Har länge tänkt överföra det till lappteknik och fick ett bra svepskäl då vi behövde en inflyttningspresent. Så det blev en sudokudde, varje block motsvaras av en färg. Hoppas mottagarna är så färgsprakande som jag har för mej. Paps union jack-kavaj är färdig, men jag hade så bråttom att posta den att jag inte kom ihåg att fota den- hur dum får man bli?
This was a really fun puzzle to do, my daughter enjoyed it too. And I finished a project the day after I started it! Hurray!

Thinking about sewing for kids
I used to make lots of clothes for my daughter and I have been getting Ottobre design for a few years back now. I like the patterns very much. The design is very good, they make an effort to make the clothes both look good and fit real children (wearable clothes in other words). BUT my time for sewing isn't what it used to be so I wonder why I have all this magazines when I never get the time to make anything. However. My son won't be 7 months all his life I hope... I posted a list of the sites that I go to get inspired when sewing for my kids, I might come up with more later. I wanted to post a picture despite my lack of time so I'll show you an application on what is/was supposed to become a Spring jacket for Little E. I got inspired by this light blue fabric that I've been saving for a while.
