Shorts and more……..

Guess I couldn’t resist making a pair of these lovelies in white then! Well it is almost holiday time, so they will look great with a light tan!





I absolutely love making these sweet little things and it looks like they’ve taken over from where the wristlets finished in the Spring – and why not, it is the season of lovely weather….well it should be, as I had the heating on about an hour ago, as it’s darned wet and cold here – again!


If anyone would like a pair of these mamma's please leave me a message here and I'll get back to you!


Have some more of these lovelies to show but I’ll save them for another day, right now I’m off to make some tea and will be back in a moment or two!
Watch this space……..


Stor klem – hope the sun is shining on you, wherever you may be!

PRIZE DRAW.......

Good Morning everyone, on what is a beautiful morning in rural Cheshire! A little cold, but sunny, with the promise of high temperatures this afternoon, so I'm going to make the most of it by getting out early to finish off the last coat of paint on my garden chairs then relax in the garden with a good book - have to, as it's forecast to be wet and cold this weekend - typical British weather eh?

Anyhow, I just wanted to let everyone know that I have a Facebook Fan page for Little Miss Norway, and if you head over there and become a fan (hit the 'like' button!) then as soon as I'm up to 100 fans, I will hold a prize draw, so go on, head over there now for your chance to be entered into the competition!

Early Morning......

But not 8 o'clock precise! 


As I sit here in my Craft Room, with a lovely cup of tea listening to the birds chirping away and looking at some of wares, at last I've managed to get the right shade of pink for a forthcoming project of mine….





This set of lace has been a number of shades of pink before I arrived at this pretty variation I can tell you!


First time round, it came out a garish shade of bubblegum, then I stripped it of the colour and took it back to what I thought was a pale shade of pink (yes, I sat on the kitchen floor watching the washing machine go round and round!) but I didn’t realise that the process would remove more of the dye before it was finished, making it the palest shade of pink that frankly, it was more or less white again!


Undeterred (even though the lace was starting to get very ragged at the ends!) I gave it one more go yesterday, and once again, had to stop the process earlier than the packet stated, but I’m very happy to say that I’m pleased with the final shade – just what I anticipated in the first place!





And this is the material that I will be using it with – a wonderful shade of taupe broderie anglais – now the ideas are running through my head (and design book!)





And talking of designs, here’s the skirt on a really pretty long dress which I’ve actually been working on since last July!!


The skirt is completely embellished with beautiful beige lace, but I can’t for the life of me, figure out how I want the top to look – sleeveless or something like my ‘Heidi’ dress perhaps – fingers crossed I come up with an idea soon or else I’ll be wearing it next summer instead!


Wishing you all a beautiful Friday!

Søte Hjerte Shorts for sale…….

Good afternoon everyone!


Looks like I’ve moved on from making wristlets to knitting these cute little shorts for the time being – but then I guess they are seasonal!


So for sale here, I have two pairs of shorts, both of which are knitted in wonderfully soft 4 ply cotton yarns, finished with pretty little mercerised cotton tie belts in contrasting colours…..


There are slight differences between each pair as follows…..



**  Grey Søte Hjerte Shorts  **

 

These lovely slate grey shorts are knitted slightly longer than the powder pair, as I’m developing the pattern right now, and thought I would offer customers a little more coverage if they so wished and with this pair they deliver that nicely! They sit perfectly on the hip and look delightful on!


They are equivalent to an Odd Molly size 1 (which equates to a UK size 8-10 or 36-38 Continental)


They are offered for sale at £45.00 (exl of P&P)





**  Perfect Powder Søte Hjerte Shorts  **





These are so very pretty and the pale pink tie belt just lifts the colour of the shorts nicely! These are my faves, as previously published in a recent blog post!


This pair are slightly shorter than the grey ones, as this is the way I wear them!!


For those of you who own or have seen Odd Molly’s Dreamdate shorts, these are more ‘forgiving’ and sit on the hip rather than slightly higher on the waist like theirs do!


These are also equivalent to an Odd Molly size 1 (which equates to a UK size 8-10 or 36-38 Continental)


They are also offered for sale at £45.00 (exl of P&P)








** NB ** When ordering bespoke shorts, could you please indicate how you want them to sit on the leg – as you can see here, the grey ones are actually 1” longer than the powder ones!




Happy Shopping and many thanks for dropping by!


I can’t believe just how cold (and wet!) it is here today, the 26th of May!!





Stor klem!

FRIENDSHIP BRACELET FROM SOMETHING LONG FORGOTTEN….

I love making these bracelets and giving them to friends, but I have to say I’m saving this one for little old me this time!


Many years ago I had a beautiful pair of silver flat sandals that I wore till they almost fell apart – then when I moved I couldn’t find them and thought they were lost – that was, until I had a clear out in the loft the other day and came across them in a box – oh was I thrilled to bits! Thing was, not many of the stones on them were salvageable this time round, but these were, and so with that I crocheted a little wristband and there they are – to be recycled and enjoyed once more!





And it looks lovely with this old favourite of mine….





Thanks for dropping by!





Klem!

DRESS OF THE DAY–SWEDISH BEAUTY

Good morning  everyone! Today the sun is shining here, so I thought I’d display this summery lovely a made a while back – well 4 of them in total actually!





The pale lemon broderie anglais fabric always puts a smile on my face as it just reminds me of summer!





And accentuated with the beautiful pale blue ribbons and white broderie trim, makes it a delight to behold.





Definitely a tunic fit for a Swedish lovely!





Thanks for dropping by  - ha en god helg!



Stor klem!

TIME TO START SEWING AGAIN……

It’s that time of the year again when the sewing machine and overlocker come out and I start sewing in earnest again.


And this is the very last of the material I had to left with which to make a ‘Heidi’ dress – well the white material that is, as I can no longer source it! Shame really, as it’s adorable!





This one’s winging it’s way to the US now so I hope the lovely lady will love what I’ve made for her daughter! I worn mine quite a lot last year, and lovely Monica from Sweden has one also, so at least 3 identical ones were made. Will have to think up different colour ways now!


Wishing you all a wonderful evening – wherever you may be!


I'm off to finish another ‘little thing’ I’m working on – which you can see from the corner of the first photo, so watch this space……




Stor klem!
