I have crocheted myself a new summer bag... I finished it end of June... Well, I guess I need to line it before it's <em>finished</em>... </div>

You can find the pattern for the squares I used <a href="http://solgrim.blogspot.no/2009/06/sirkel-i-kvadrat.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> (pattern is in both norwegian and english). I didn't have a pattern for the bag itself, but I've used 13 different squares that I just crocheted together as the work progressed... </div>

Another very late posting... These are the cards I made for two of my colleagues at the end of the school year back in June. I guess it's about time I put them on my blog as there is only just over a week left of the holidays... Where did all the days and weeks go? Well, I guess it'll be nice to go back to work again. I'm looking forward to the new school year, and it's going to be good to meet all my colleagues again, and I'm really excited to meet all the children and find out how they've been over the summer:)</div>

Hubby and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary back in June...(I know... I'm a bit late with my postings...). We don't normally give each other gifts on this day, but I bought him a chocolate and made him a card. The card is tiny though, only 6,5x7,7 cm... <br />

I've been looking at my Nespresso pods for ages, admiring the beautiful colours, and wondered if there was anything I could do with them instead of just binning them when the coffee was used. Then it hit me, I could try to empty out the coffee and make some card embellishments with them.<br />
<br />
This is one of the first embellies I made.... and I was so pleased with how it turned out, so I thought I'd show you how I did it... well, at least the first step...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojCWwtDtUfMv33meVl0cFpbEjBMT_Ft_yBOOOiP-RdSpj9vdBK9Ny6tlvgRagKC9WQsPL4ioc3iT9jt9QamBtwh8Qcbj1WAefmQ_KAzyTp6GxOUu4BTU7-ddtvnk9j9U5bFO4qw/s1600/DSCF5449.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojCWwtDtUfMv33meVl0cFpbEjBMT_Ft_yBOOOiP-RdSpj9vdBK9Ny6tlvgRagKC9WQsPL4ioc3iT9jt9QamBtwh8Qcbj1WAefmQ_KAzyTp6GxOUu4BTU7-ddtvnk9j9U5bFO4qw/s320/DSCF5449.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I start with removing the foil lid and emptying out the used coffe grinds from the pods. I wash them and let them dry thoroughly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquLw10k8LztWuBXj6v1jMox95rtlWsbGfqN-pS6jdI848R-adD8KU1Pjo9wUE-2Qd3AF28KkumnQEC08h-OhKHvRRq2ZyikVHEMR-FDLCBnogQWFTMJ4ziBzsiSDsMK-LDugkLA/s1600/DSCF5427.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquLw10k8LztWuBXj6v1jMox95rtlWsbGfqN-pS6jdI848R-adD8KU1Pjo9wUE-2Qd3AF28KkumnQEC08h-OhKHvRRq2ZyikVHEMR-FDLCBnogQWFTMJ4ziBzsiSDsMK-LDugkLA/s320/DSCF5427.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
When they're dry, I pinch/crunch the top a bit with my fingers, like so...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then take a wooden spatula and flatten the pods as much as I can.<br />

And to make them really flat, I put them under a wooden chopping board and stand on them... lol....<br />

It wasn't really bad, but it wasn't very warm or sunny either, so we decided to spend the day indoors. So, the girls have been playing with my sewing machine. They have been making themselves a drawstring bag each.<br />

They've done everything themselves... choosing the (bright coloured) fabric, kutting it, pinning it together and sewing it all up. OK, so I helped a bit with getting the right pieces lying the right way in the right place when making the opening for the string...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've been away on a short camping trip. We went to Gothenburg to meet up with my brother and his family. And, of course, to go to Liseberg, the amusement park.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyjzDk0Zh05ZDprxKVeJKcig77Inam3ldCRov2Nlf0XfWwLk5670lCTZMVO30b4wQCnuLj-fwR5AqdAHN4p_VlYuhucrOkJ3ksrR-_Hbz40oa4qCdYAgsWFN26G19qrZfbS4JvOg/s1600/SDC12391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyjzDk0Zh05ZDprxKVeJKcig77Inam3ldCRov2Nlf0XfWwLk5670lCTZMVO30b4wQCnuLj-fwR5AqdAHN4p_VlYuhucrOkJ3ksrR-_Hbz40oa4qCdYAgsWFN26G19qrZfbS4JvOg/s320/SDC12391.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The weather wasn't really the best, but we managed to get the bbq out the first and the last day.<br />
<br />
According to the forecast it wasn't supposed to rain on friday, so we decided to go to the amusement park that day. Not rain my a.... woops, sorry... it did RAIN. We were soaking wet... and when we got back to our tent after spending the whole day, wet, in Liseberg, the rain had dripped off the tent onto the floor cover in the tent, so the whole "indoors" were flooded... Luckily, the bedroom part of the tent has it's own floor, so at least that bit was dry.<br />

Apart from the wet friday, we kept quite dry and warm, but we didn't see the sun. All in all, I think we all enjoyed being away for a few days, and it was great meeting up with my brother & family again.<br />

I don't have any cards to show you. My father in law has been visiting the last few days, and before that I spent most of my time outside in the nice, sunny weather. So I haven't spent much (any) time in my craftroom lately....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple, or maybe three, weeks ago I won a challenge with one of my cards. The prize was $15 worth of digis from <a href="http://fred-she-said-store.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fred She Said</a>. This is the first card I've made with one of the digis I chose. This one is called <a href="http://fred-she-said-store.blogspot.com/2011/05/wee-hummingbird-petunias.html" target="_blank">Wee Hummingbird & Petunias</a>. It's not my usual style of stamp, but I really enjoyed "playing" with it, and I'm sure I will use it again soon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Poor little Maja is home from school with a tummy ache today... She had a sore tummy yesterday as well, but not as bad as today. At least we tried going to school, but unfortunately I had to take her home just after the first lesson... hopefully she'll feel better soon. </div>

Hubby and I were home "alone" for the first time since we had children this weekend. No children! What to do first... lol... We should have been in a 90th birthday in Switzerland this weekend though... but we couldn't get anyone to look after the girls from thursday to friday evening when my parents arrived, so we had to stay at home. My parents arrived late friday evening, and after breakfast on Saturday, they took the girls with them on an overnight trip in their camper van. It was so much fun going on a "date" with my hubby on Saturday night... a film and then restaurant! Great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I also managed to make a card this weekend... no children at home, and hubby in the garage "working" on his bike gave me some ME-time! Yay!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saw some beautiful, clean and simple <a href="http://stampingsharing.blogspot.com/2012/05/more-hellos.html" target="_blank">cards</a> over at <a href="http://stampingsharing.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stephanie's blog</a> the other day. I loved her cards so much that I needed to have some myself! So I was naughty and stole her idea... I have changed a few things.... Instead of twine, that Stephanie used on her cards, I have used ribbon, and I've used different embossing folders, and different sentiments on every card. I just love how my cards turned out... and I hope that Stephanie isn't too mad at me, and will forgive me for stealing her idea... (she's just so brilliant at making clean and simple cards...)</div>

I've made the cutest little purses... I saw these purses somewhere a while back, and I really felt the urge to try and make one. So the other night, I sat down and made one for Maja.... I used a 15x15 cm piece of paper that I scored at 3,2cm on opposite sides, and then turned and scored at 6,4cm on the other two (opposite) sides (did that make sense at all...??). It's a bit hard to explain the next fold, so I'm not even going to try... After all the folding was done, I embossed it with my flower embossing folder and rubbed some ink over it to colour it. I've used different cutting dies to decorate it, and a piece of velcro (under that little flap) to keep it shut. And, of course, some ribbon for handles.</div>

When Maja saw the purse, she really wanted to make one for her friends birthday, so we did. Do you think Susie wanted one too....?? YES! She wanted a blue one.... She wasn't too pleased that I spelt her name with different letters than the other two purses though... even though I like those letters better... (that reminds me that I need to get some more alphabet dies...)</div>

We've had such a great day here today. It started off with Maja's team winning the last handball match of the season this morning. Yeehaa! It's been really warm and sunny all day too. We've been outside a lot today. We even had lunch outside on the decking, and the butter was all melted after a few minutes on the table (it was sat in the sun though...). Dinner was had outside too, and the girls have played with their lps animals in the sun for hours. Bliss!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I guess all good things must come to an end.... I've just been sitting in bed with Susie (5), trying to get her to sleep, for almost two hours. Her ears are aching... She finally fell asleep after I managed to get her to take a painkiller by offering her money (I'm such a good mother...). Hope she feels better tomorrow.</div>

OK... so... here's a card I made for a colleague of mine. She needed a card for her boyfriends birthday. He is really into fishing... I didn't really have a lot of fishing related stamps or digis... but I managed to dig up this mean looking fish. Hope it is what she wanted....</div>

I have challenged myself again.... I wanted to use a different image from what I normally do, and I wanted to use my watercolours. I haven't used my water colours in absolute ages, so I found it a bit hard to get it to look the way I wanted. It was good fun though. This is what I came up with:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the weather is getting warmer and the sun is coming out more I felt like challenging myself and use a colour I hardly ever use.... Yellow. Why I never use yellow, I don't know... I just never feel like picking up my yellow pens and papers... I think my card turned out quite bright and cheery though.... The sentiment is stamped on a tag that is tucked behind the image so you have to pull it out to read what it says...</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Image is Miss Anya by The Greeting Farm. Coloured with Promarkers. I have cut a Marianne Creatables frame in half and put one half behind each side of the green paper. I've used an embossingfolder on the card itself and distressed with an ink pad. I've also used a scalloped die, a tag, some ribbon, paper twine, and a "diamond" heart.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The parent's meetings at school are finally over and done, so hopefully things will calm down a bit now. The weather here is changing between really hot spring days, to snowy and windy, to wet and cold... You never know what the next day is going to be like.... and it will also change between all the types of weather in the one and same day.... can't wait for the weather to settle down a bit too... lol...</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Image is Ivy KETTO. Isn't she cute. I got her from a friend (thank you!!). Coloured with Promarkers. I have also used a couple of different paper tapes from Panduro for the vertical stripes. Sentiment from Kort & Godt. And as a final touch, I have added some Liquid Pearls (you can see it a bit better on the pic below) and some bling...</span><br />

Oh, I almost forgot this card.... I made this ages ago, but I wanted to give it to my mum for her birthday, so I couldn't post it on here since she reads my blog.... It's been almost two weeks since her birthday, so I guess I'm in the clear with posting it now...</div>

Image is one of the sweet, sweet <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SaturatedCanaryDigis?page=5" target="_blank">Saturated Canary</a> girls. As always, I have coloured with Promarkers. NO design paper on this one, only plain paper that I have stamped with different stamps. I have also used an embossing folder to make dots on the black scalloped circle. To make the cute edge around the image, I have cut a Marianne Designs Creatable frame in half and glued it behind the die cut image panel. I've also added a bit of liquid pearl on the frame. To finish the card off I have added a MS punched border, some ribbon, flowers, pearls and a flourish.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About a week ago, I went to do a bit of scrapping with my friend<a href="http://ullpurka.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Renate</a>. We had so much fun. We talked and coloured and talked and glued and... you get the picture... Renate made a couple of cards while I was there, but I only managed to make one... I know... I'm quite a slow scrapper.... lol... I didn't even finish the card entirely before I went home... It got quite late.... so the flourishes behind the image/sentiment were done at a later date...</div>

Image is a gorgeous Gorjuss girl, and she's coloured with Promarkers. The red/pink DP is Tilda, but I can't remember the turquoise paper. Sentiment is from a Kort & Godt <a href="http://www.kortoggodt.com/index.cfm?tmpl=butikk&a=product_inline&b_kid=992721&b_id=1057746" target="_blank">set</a>. I've also used two different paper tapes (Panduro), a doily, lace and a metal corner that I got from Renate. I also went home with some other goodies. She's soooo generous that lady! <br />

Image is Juliet from the digi set "<a href="http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2echarmedcardsandcrafts%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2fCharmed_Downloads_Project_Ideas%2ehtml&WD=town%20girl&SHOP=%20&PN=Girls_About_Town_Download%2ehtml%23a5797#a5797" target="_blank">Girls About Town</a>" by Charmed Cards and Crafts. I have used my Promarkers to colour in with. The mat behind the image and the stripe with the sentiment on is also coloured with Promarkers. Sentiment is by Kort og Godt (<a href="http://www.kortoggodt.com/index.cfm?tmpl=butikk&a=product_inline&b_kid=992721&b_id=1057746" target="_blank">S-200</a>) and it says "to a wonderful lady". I have used a Martha Stewart punch, and paper tape from Panduro. Can't remember where the DP is from. I have also used a text background stamp on the card blank as well.... don't remember what it is though, and can't be bothered going upstairs to check... Oh, and I've also added some rhine stones next to the sentiment, but I think they almost disappeared on the black background.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't believe how warm it has been here lately. It certainly doesn't feel like March. The week end was really warm and sunny... so hot that I could walk around the garden without a jumper or jacket on. The girls have been playing in their bare feet on the decking and I've managed to tidy most of my flower beds. I wonder how long it will last.... It won't be much snow left for easter, that's for sure....</div>

I bought some new embossing folders and butterfly dies on saturday, and I could hardly wait for the sun to set on sunday so I could go inside and play... I've just been playing around with my new stash and this is what I came up with...</div>

I have used QuicKutz flowers and retro squares embossingfolders. The butterflies are Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly small. I also got the QuicKutz parquet metal embossing die and some sentiments stamps, but I didn't use any of that on this card.... which means, of course, that I have to go and play some more soon....<br />
<br />
Here's a peek of the inside....<br />

Things are really busy at work at the moment. I'm preparing one to one meetings with all the parents of my class to tell them about their young ones progress at school (can't, for the life of me, remember what it's called in english....), so I haven't had any time to play with my stamps and paper this week, which means I don't have anything to show....<br />
<br />
So I thought I'd share a couple of photos of Maja from this weeks riding lesson instead.... Maja's always complaining that she never gets to ride the bigger horses in the stable.... But this week she rode Milo.... Isn't he just beautiful??</div>

She was sooo chuffed! Really enjoying herself. I was just scared he would take off and run away with her.... or make her fall off... and hurt herself.... but I guess that's just the mum talking... lol... They looked really good together.<br />

All of a sudden Susie really needed some more clothes for her Barbie dolls. I guess I wasn't really hard to persuade to knit her some... :) We had a look at <a href="http://www.stickatillbarbie.se/" target="_blank">THIS</a> great web site for something to knit, and Susie picked out quite a few things she wanted....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started by knitting the dress on the right in the pic (this is pattern no 10 on the web site). I'm not sure about the green "fur", but that was the only furry yarn I could find in my stash. I know I have some other colours somewhere, but I didn't want to spend the entire day looking for it. And Susie really wanted the green trim anyway.... I have knitted the dress in the round, even though the pattern said to knit back and forth... I couldn't be bothered with sewing it together after knitting... The dress is really snug and it fits perfectly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was quite a quick knit, so I decided to cast on for a second dress. The one on the left is no 1005 on the web site (wich is Swedish by the way).... I have knitted this one in the round as well, AND I've altered the back by knitting some shaped ribbing for a snugger fit on the doll. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finished the second dress after Susie went to bed, so I'm quite excited about what she has to say tomorrow morning when she sees it....</div>
