See these two dollcribs? They are made by our son in law, aren't they adorable? He's so clever, he can make the most beautiful things out of wood.

The crib needs a dollquilt, how about using these fabrics? All I need now is a lovely pattern!

50th post

Well today is the day....Today a little milestone, my 50th post! If you would asked me a year ago what a blog was, I would say; "excuse me...a what"? It was purly a coincidence that I discovered this amazing world of blogging! And I never expected how much fun it could be! I've met some wonderful new friends and recieved the most warm and supportive comments.
Thank you, thank you'll for that.

What's in the box (five)

I've got an urge to finish some of the unfinished things hanging around my craftsroom. The logcabin quilt, the knitted blanket in progress, the embroidery works, the applique quilt......I can go on and on! And not to forget..the secret santa christmas swap project!! I think it's best to finish of my SSCS project first so I can send it of to my parner on time! Sorry, but I can't reveal that much of it here because its secret!! So instead I will open a box for you.


In this box I keep selfmade crafted ornaments for in the christmas tree.

I personal like the little angel and the embroidery heart with all the buttons on.
