A FEW CHRISTMAS BASKETS I MADE FOR CHRISTMAS

And i filled them with things like nice and delicate wrapped tea and coffe and sweets.
I made one just before i left Norway to spend 5 weeks in portugal and that one was to give to Marit; the worlds most amazing friend and unique cat sitter.

Also i made one for my Portugise friend Carla; it was really nice to see her suprised face when she got this; she really did not expect me to give her something so it was a real pleasure to brighten up her day.
In Carla`s basket i put some chocolate to as you is a passionate chocolate freak.lol.

The 2 last ones i made for my ""sister/ /slash" bestfriend(Renate)"" so we could give it as a joint xmas present from the 2 of us + my mother to give Renates bf sister and mother and they loved the baskets aswell.

The best thing however was the fun of making them, i loved every second of it and i will sgow you a photo of all the 4 different baskets.

I think i m gonna do something nice for the 4 nice ppl that are listet as my followers

Well just because i see there are some ppl, not that many really that follows and/or read my blog so if you can be so nice and email me with your real names and contact info and also if you can be so sweet and let me know if you are scrapbookers/cardmakers or not that would be amazing.

If You do i will make sure you get an extra treat from me just because you are nice and follows my blog and i want to show you that is very much appreciated.

I also hope , if its not to much to ask for and that is please recomend my blog to your friends too, i know many blogs are more active than mine but i do still hope you enjoy what i do put on here.

I would probably write so much more on here if i didnt have my arm injery to struggle with but i try to make up for it with some nice photos.

I am going to add some photos from my recent Portugal holiday soon, also i am re doing and organizing my bedroom slash craft space so if you have any great organizing tips i will be so happy cause i need that so much.

I really want a nice bedroom but with some space to keep my craft stash(which is way way to much)( If you know of a nice charity that will need some of my stuff and put it too good use plz let me know)

I think its really difficult to keep things neat and tidy and organized but i am sure loads of you ppl out there struggle with the same thing.

BLOG CANDY

Well everyone is having blog candys so i m thinking i should have one too but i have no way of sending anything out before christmas since i m going to be spending christmas in sunny Portugal.

So i m thinking the one that writes the 50th comment, better settle at 50 since so little people are coming here unfortentately but i will do a bigger one when i have a 100 comments ok.
I will make it a suprise what the blog candy is and i will make it a criteria that the comment must be atleast 2 whole sentences with something nice and sensible to say.

Any ideas on this will be welcome and i will post this around on some norwegian forums and english and us forums aswell so now number 5oth, look forward to getting something nice in the mail

circle skirt pic

My first circle skirts

My very first cirkle skirts; i didnt use any pattern but i can however show you how i did the folding to how i cut it out when i make the next ones.
I only pretty much took my fabric and folded it in 4 then cut a small bit of in the corner which would be the waist "hole" and then i runded it like a circle should be but i can take more photos of that process when i make more as they have asked for Betty Boop skirts which i m about to make but i only just finished making them new gymbags last night,lol
