Well, another week-end almost over ... but got started on a great new project.
After a lovely Saturday morning with my "mother in law" - brunch & shopping (I bought a beautiful new pair of boots), I had the energy to get started on a Christmas table-runner.
I am subscriping a fabric-package from stofpakken.dk - where I receive 5-6 FQ's of various colour-coordinated fabrics once a month. Last time it was a Christmas package - and that inspired me to make a tablerunner from the fantastic designer, ANNAKA - Højtids-engle.

So - our dining room table gets turned into a work-table ... sewing machine out, ironing board & iron, cutting mat & cutter ... and of course many fabrics.
Here you can see the mess - but it is coordinated mess:

It probably lucky that my man is sitting on his oil-rig on the North Sea! ;-)
At the moment dinner is eaten at the coffee table in front of the TV.

So - here is what I got done till now:

... so now I just have to add some more of my angels ... by applique - 3 on each end:

Will I get it ready for Christmas??? - well, maybe ... :-D

Hi ... my very first entry on my own blog.
It takes some courage ... and really time to learn this program ... but I find it a fun way to share some of my ideas & projects ... and show friends, family ... and even total strangers ... what is going on here at our home.
Well, even though it was meant to show some of my projects ... what I will share with you now is actually a project of Jørgen (my fiancé). For a couple of years we have had fun trying to grow chili-plants on our balcony ... and believe me, it is not easy in the climate of Denmark. It has actually turned into a little competition between my mother, his mother, and his brother ... who gets the best and most chilies! :-D
Well, here is a picture of our harvest!
Jørgen has been busy with needle and threat (which is actually my expertise)! :-)

Some of the chilies had not yet turned all ripe ... but actually they are starting to change colour now !

Next year, we are definitely going to try again ... maybe some new types ?!
We really like spicy food !

Have a great day ... looking forward to sharing some more news from Randers next time! :-D
