 Finally time to create and play.  :)

The rain is pooring down outside today, and my dining table is filled to the brim with scrappy stuff.

:)

It feels so good to finally have the energy and joy to make stuff.

I have created two little bookmarks for my girls, using the brand new, and OH SO CUTE "winter" collection by Pixie Dust Studio.

this "here I come" layout was created for sketch #247 over at

Pencil Lines sketch challenge blog. I so love this picture of Iver, embracing the pacific ocean.

Make sure you go over to pencil lines on sunday for a new sketch challenge too.  :)

 This "Melon & Peaches" layout is made for this months sketch challenge by Lisa Pace, over at Cocoa Daisy.

I so loved Lisas skatch, and the June Cocoa daisy kit was perfect for these colorful, fruity pictures.

This layout is all about Sol, enjoying the wild strawberries in our garden.  It was actually made for one of the CHA-challenges over at Two Peas, but I never came to post it.

Now, have a happy weekend you all.

This has been a beautiful day here in oslo.

the weather was good and I celebrated my day at my mothers house.

We had a great time outdoor in the sun.

it was all good.

Thank you mom, Edvin, Iver, eirun, sol.

When we arrived home Edvin and Eirik had arranged a wonderful surprise for me:

It just couldn't be any better!

easter, summer, breakdown, layouts and just little bits and pieces of life....

Hi my friends.

Hope some of you are still here..... it has been a while... yes, I know.

My computer had a breakdown during easter.

Luckily Hubby solved the problems when the store opened and he could buy a couple of new discs.

:)

The week of Easter was so good. BUSY but good.

Lots of kids around the house. It was so nice to make a happy, cozy easter celebration for my kids and all their little guests.

The weather in Oslo has ben the best ever.

FINALLY after the long, long cold winter easter brought us almost real summer.

This layout was made for this months challenge over at Cocoa Daisy, using the CD april kit. LOVE it!

Pictures from a little bike ride with Eirik and Sol during easter break.

I created this layout

a while back for the great "words and perspectives" project over at Sue Myldes blog.

I was SO happy to be invited as one of her special guests.

My word is Life.

You can read more about my journaling and perspective HERE.

Make sure you visit sues blog and look trough all the wonderful, inspiring layouts and artists that have participated in the words and perspectives project.

 The layout below is made for this weeks sketch # 235 over at Pencil Lines Sketch blog.

Used my favorite Cosmo Cricket patterned paper for this project.

Machine stitched the heart on top of all the paper strips.

 Crazy isn't it....

first this loooong, cold winter here up north, and then all of a sudden the summer came ... well at least warm and lovely spring.

Here are two little pictures from our summery easter  :)

** Just a note to my norwegian friends: I have started a brand new blog, I call it ( My Kitchen )

Mitt Kjøkken.

Hei Venner! Jeg har startet en ny blogg. "mitt kjøkken". Den skal inneholde små og større oppskrifter og notater fra mitt kjøkken. Ikke noe fancy, bare enkelt og ærlig. Ta gjerne en tur innom!! MITT KJØKKEN**

Today I spendt the day at home with Sol.
She has catched a cold. Poor girl.
Even tho she managed to play at a wonderful concert this evening.
Sol and edwin played with two brass ensebles at the music shool here in Oslo today.
It feels so good to see them love their music so much.

Tomorrow we'll be off to tante Elins 75th birthday. All she wanted as a gift was us giving her some music - so our family band will play at the party.
So looking forward to that.
:)
As we had a nice and cozy day at home I managed to create some little projects too.

The above layout are made for this months challenge over at
Cocoa Daisy.
It was all about using a quote ....
I found this house with the quote on at Pintrest, and fell in love emmediately. The perfect "note to self" for me ;)

Thje other little project is just a sneak peek of my Step-by-step project coming up over at the
Cosmo Cricket blog
on saturday.
Make sure you stop by for some fun inspiration :)

Have a great weekend!

in stitches.... :)

Inspired by my incredibly talented friend, Hanne, I have been sewing a bit lately.

One handbag (I'll show you later ) and this little purse.

Actually I love to sew, but It is way too long since I played with my favorite fabric and sewing machine.

THIS challenge over at Pixie Dust gave me the kick to make this purse.

It will be perfect for little girls on summer vacation.

:) :) The super Cute girl is a digi stamp from Pixie Dust studios, printed on to a transfer sheet and ironed on to the un-bleached cotton fabric before sewing the bag.

the super cute flower fabric and the yellow fabric are both some of my fave fabrics by Cosmo Cricket. :)

NOW we are enjoying the Winter break with lots of time off, having just the best time....

the ski world cup is here ( in Oslo ) and we enjoy it all! :)

Happy weekend!!

xo

OH, and not to forget:

Make sure you go to

Taylors blog

to see if you are amongst the winners of the viritual Valentines blog hop

:)

Inspired

Hi my friends.

Hope you all have had a good week so far.

This week is last week before schools winter break here in Oslo, and we are all looking forward to a wintery week off. :)

I have been inspired by so many things lately.

I found (trough my friend Sue ) this wonderful place:

Pintrest,

where you can pin up inspiring pictures.

This place makes me happy :)

I have been inspired by the beautiful Cosmo Cricket papers and a great challenge over at Cocoa daisy, to create these two layouts.

I made these hearts...sort of by accident.... LOL

But LOVE how they turned out with crackle paint and epoxy. :)

Had a mini photo shoot with me and Eirun a few weeks ago.

She is the sweetest girl, and we have so much fun together. :)

I feel so blessed to be her mom.

(and the mom of all my 4 kids, actually.... :) :) )

Have a great weekend.
