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!

ZARA DOES ODD MOLLY–well kind of……

Definitely an ‘homage’ don’t you think?…….





It’s a good match for the powder shades but the only thing is it’s super delicate, so could catch easily, but at that price (£25.99) it’s worth the risk.


Also comes in a taupe and white shade. This one looks great with my silk spoiler and a pair of white jeans!


Why not check it out?




Stor klem and thanks for dropping by……

Gratulerer med syttende Mai!

Ønsker alle en lykkelig Norsk Nasjonal Dag!


And today I’m having my own little celebration with a friend who’s popping over for lunsj, but I know where I’d love to be and that’s joining in the celebrations on Karl Johan’s Gate, but maybe next year then!





Isn't this the most amazing flag-inspired cake you ever did see? Think I’ll attempt one for my annual summer party – better late than never I say as it looks soo pretty as well as yummy!





And I’ve got my own little decorations around the home also…….





Ønsker alle en flott Norsk dag hvor du enn måtte være!


Skål for Norge!

Søte Hjerte

Sweet heart indeed as these lovely shorts attest to!


I've been wanting to knit a pair of shorts for such a long time but have never got around to it – that its till now and I have to say that I really enjoyed creating them!





You could say they were an ‘homage’ to something or other - you Molly girls know the score! but mine are a little, shall we say ‘more forgiving’ all round than the dreamdate pretties – which I adore and think look wonderful on, but more in that ‘Kylie shorts’ way!


These are a little longer in the leg and don’t cling as much, but look just as pretty!!





I've created these in that perfect powder shade and as they’re knitted in cotton, it makes them very light for summer wear.


And finished with my trademark crocheted bows and a wonderfully pretty belt in a dusky pink shade.





They look adorable peeking out below my fields of lace tunic……





And super pretty for walking around on holiday in with this sweet little butterfly camisole!


These can be made for sale so if you’re interested, please leave a post for me here and I’ll get back to you!


Now I’m off to make a pair in white – I can see me owning a few pairs of these!




Thanks for dropping by!


Stor klem!

Oldies but goldies…..

Guess you can’t beat the oldies as far as I’m concerned – sometimes I wish Odd Molly would keep on repeating some of their staples, but hey, I guess all designers like to move on and evolve, but I really do yearn for some of the old stuff – like this little lot – if anyone out there has any of the following items that they would like to move on, please leave a message for me here and I’ll get back to you!
I’m after this private slip in either a size 0 or 1 please…….





And ditto re: sizes for this sweet little rose private tank – they don’t make them like they used to……





Oh I love these sweet little shorts but I should have bought them when I had the chance in Bergen back in 2007! 


If anyone has a pair in a size 1 that they no longer want……..guess I should keep dreaming then yeah?!


Fingers crossed someone out there has something for me?…….



Ha en god helg alle sammen!




Stor klem!

Vakre Ting…..

Good Morning everyone – hope you’re having a wonderful day?


You know, it’s around this time that I put away the knitting needles and start my sewing projects, but to be honest, there has been such a demand for cotton wristlets this year, that I’ve been mad busy making them!


Well this might be the last batch, but who knows, I may even start knitting woolen ones for autumn/winter again as I take in the last of the suns rays in my garden – I find it very therapeutic so why not!





I wore my pair of powder cotton wristlets with my FOL the other day and they looked super pretty together – this shade is a perfect match. The vintage powder ones work so well with this year’s Odd Molly shade and they have been flying out of the door – almost as popular now as the powder ones!





And these vintage rose and apricot shades are also adorable, as you can see here…….





I wore my vintage rose pair with my Odd Molly silk tank the other night and they matched so well.......





And the apricot Engels with the revamped butterfly cardigan just look amazing – really looking forward to wearing these together sometime soon!


Somehow I’m thinking I haven’t seen the last of the cotton ones yet……




Thanks for dropping by – have a lovely day!


Stor klem!
