The anticipation is killing me……

At last, the top of the dress is cut out and now I just need to get all my white articles completed in order that I can get this finished on the overlocking machine and wear it!


I only started making it last July, so I think it’s only right that I get a move on – and who knows, it may be ready in time for my summer party in a few weeks time!


But it is very pretty so fingers crossed I make it in time – watch this space for the finished article – coming soon!





Have a lovely evening and thanks for dropping by!


Stor kram!

It’s always nice to receive flowers……

But it’s so much more meaningful when those flowers are from your lovely neighbour and they’re from her garden – bliss!


These sweet peas are absolutely divine and I had enough for two vases, so the house smells divine!






Too posh to garden in?……well perhaps, but I had fun wandering around my own garden deadheading and weeding last week, and as I was enjoying wearing my bloomers and FOL, I decided not to change – however, as I’m painting yet more garden furniture today, there’s no way I’m wearing any Odd Molly – or Little Miss Norway for that matter!


Wishing you all a wonderful day, wherever you may be!


Stor klem!

Bits and bobs…..

Gosh, it’s a few weeks since I was in here! 


Well as you’ve guessed, I’m back from holiday, had a fabulous time in Greece, but ended up poorly last week, so now I’m playing catch-up again, or should I say today, pottering and doing ‘dolce far niente’ as that sounds so much better! 


And to kick us off, another pair of wee little shorts, but this time these were made for a very special girl called Maria from Sweden. I’m hoping that she sends me a photo of her wearing them real soon, as I know she’s going to look amazing in them!




I had so much fun making these, especially as they were for my dear friend Maria and the colour was just so pretty to work with – was looking forward to finishing off a pair of very pale pink ones today – well actually, the shorts are made, but can you believe it, I broke the crochet hook making the belt, so now I’ll have to wait till Saturday to replace it and finish them off!





And at last I finally got round to deciding how to finish off the top of this little number – heck, I only started it last July, so it was about time I got a move on – well it’s cut out, but I’m stalling until I’ve finished some white items of clothing I’m making, as it means changing the threads on the overlocker, and no matter how careful I am, one of them always breaks and it takes ages to fix it all up again! The not-so-nice part of sewing I guess…..





And now I’ve got some ideas in mind for this beautiful taupe coloured broderie anglais fabric from the US, as I think my dyed pink lace compliments it very well – and yes, I am determined that I will whatever I make this summer and not the next one!


So with that, I guess I’d better crack on instead of sitting here frittering the day away!


But before I forget, I still would like another 15 peo0le to hit the ‘like’ button on my Facebook page, so hit the Norwegian heart above and come and join us, as there will be a prize draw as soon as I reach the magical ‘100’ fans – not a lot to ask, when there’s a freebie – or is it, as I’m rather struggling right now!


Thanks for dropping by –wishing you a wonderful evening!





Stor klem!

Almost holiday time – decisions, decisions…….

Well the last 6 months have been hectic for me, in terms of being busy here with orders and coming up with new designs, as well as personal issues, which are thankfully behind me now, and so with that, I can look forward to a week away in beautiful Greece, just to rest and relax and enjoy some warmth in these bones of mine!


But what do I take with me – oh heck, here we go again……..





Well this little lot are definitely on the list for packing! My beloved white Berry Dress and essential accoutrements, as well as some other lovely bits and bobs that you just need for a break in the sun!





And I guess this little lot will be making the list also!


It's good to see that my wares compliment my Mollies so well, and with some Melmelli and Ti Mo thrown in there, I guess I’m good to go – well I will be on Sunday anyhow!




See you soon!


Ha en god helg og stor klem til deg!

And talking of the Berry Dress…..

Well not here, but in Facebook, as whilst it’s such a beautiful dress, I was rather surprised that there wasn’t a matching underslip to accompany it, like Odd Molly have produced in the past. With my powder version, I had my bloomers and shortie private slip, so that was okay, but in the case of this white lovely, well I had to come up with something that would preserve my modesty on my forthcoming holiday, so here it is…….





I always find that this lovely dress slips off my shoulder, be it the size 1 in powder that I originally bought, or this lovely white version in a size 0, which fits much better overall, but I still have the issue of it falling off, so I wanted to make sure that when it does, the slips straps looked pretty!





The other thing I find with a lot of dresses is when you bend over, you can end up showing off your underwear (as I have been known to in the powder version!) so I thought if that’s the case, then I’d better add some pretty lace to the top of it – that way you get a pretty eyeful instead!





But the Berry dress itself is the star here not my underslip, so I’ve just added a piece of lace along the bottom and kept it simple – the dress is full enough without making it bulky!


So, with some nude underwear, I should be good to go – don’t want to make the mistake I know a lovely lady did a while back, when she innocently wore white underwear under her dress and it showed through – not leaving it to chance there! LOL




And now I am most definitely off to do some ironing and make that tea I was promising myself!




Stor klem til alle sammen!

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?
