And isn’t she just?……….
You know, I’ve made this tunic dress countless times now, and five in this colour combination, but I always hoped one day I’d witness a real Swedish beauty wearing it, and voila, here we have it, the beautiful Maria from Sweden wearing her very own!
And to complete the look, sporting a pair of super sweet little shorts which she was lucky enough to win in my summer prize giveaway last year, so you see, if you don’t enter my competitions, you won’t be in with a chance!
Think they look perfect together!
This was one of the very first things I made for sale, and it’s been very popular ever since, as it’s just a very versatile little tunic. You can dress it up and make it look fabulous, like Maria did in the first shot, or you can wear it more casual like she did here…….
So very pretty!
This dress is like a ray of sunshine and when I see mine, it always puts a smile on my face!
Looking good with red Hunter wellies too!
And here’s the sweet little shorts that Maria is wearing in the first shot – with matching ribbons!
If only she didn’t live in Sweden, I’d have her modelling everything for me! Oh well, have to say that I’m thrilled to bits to just have her model some of my clothing anyway!
Wishing you all a sunny day, wherever you may be!
Stor klem till alle sammen!

I can hardly believe what has happened in my beloved Norway, and in particular Oslo, a city in which I always feel like I leave a little of myself behind every time I leave.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Norway who have had to endure this terrible event. It's so very hard to take in right now and I'm hoping that I hear from everyone that I've made contact with as soon as possible, in order to put my mind at rest.
God bless you all.

Not the way I planned, but lovely all the same I guess!
You may recall, I started making this sometime last year on and off, and decided around February this year to start putting it together and posted it here as a work in progress – and it was, as I was under the impression that I had enough yarn left over with which to knit the last sleeves – that was, until I found that two of the balls of yarn were a completely different dye lot, and so after months of searching, I had to admit defeat and rethink the design of this little tunic – and so here it is, sleeveless, but nevertheless a pretty little number!
The neck is a perfect ‘v’ but is just sitting a little wobbly on the mannequin!
As you can see, it still looks pretty without sleeves and looks really nice with a spoiler top or pretty t-shirt underneath it!
So, as it has no sleeves, I decided to ‘pretty’ up the back of it and added a sweet little crocheted butterfly, in a silvery white yarn……
Pretty indeed…….
The skirt is nice also……
With sweet little detailing…….
Looks lovely on the mannequin, and I wish it fitted, but sadly (once again, groan!) it’s a little too big for me, so I have to pass on it and have decided to offer it for sale at £75.00 (excl of P&P)
The size runs between a large Odd Molly size 1 and a small size 2.
It took many hours to make, but it was fun, so for me, it was a pure labour of love!
It's offered on a first-come-first-served basis, so if you’re interested. please act soon! 
Many Thanks for dropping by – have a wonderful evening, wherever you may be!
Stor klem!

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!

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!
