Good Morning lovelies!
Well the sun is just about shining here and as my friend is coming over for lunch, I’m going to make the best of it and eat outside and enjoy it whilst we can, so I’m going to push the boat out and wear something summery – at last, so it’s between this little outfit…….
Or this one………thought it was about time I wore some of these little shorts I’ve made, so I may go with these!
colour of these are adorable, the palest pink…..
And I’ve been having lots of fun recently using different coloured dyes to change the look of some items of clothing, and in this instance, a baby doll set from H&M, as I have one in white and liked the idea of a pink one, so I came up with this, but you have to be careful just how much dye you use and keep an eye on it in the washing machine, and if necessary, stop the process there and then to get the colour you want – but it is fun and yesterday I dyed some lace a wonderful shade of violet, along with some fabric, so I can’t wait to use it!
I’m happy with the result though, as it’s the palest blush of pink and looks perfect with theses little shorts of mine!
So that’s decided then, the second outfit – better crack on and start preparing things for lunch!
Wishing you a sunny day also, even if it’s not too warm, it’s better to have the sun shining on you!
Stor klem!

Thinking it may well be, as I was due to wear this little lot at my annual summer party the other week, but given just how floaty the sleeves are, I think even I would have had them in everything in the kitchen, so I decided against it – and a wise decision it was too!
I love these sweet little skinny jeans from Italian designers MET, but I wanted to embellish them a little bit more, so I stitched a whole load of diamante buttons and charms on them – not sure how they will wash, so it’s probably a ‘one-off’ wear for them but I can always stitch them back on again!
And here it is, my beloved ‘Engene’ (meadows) blouse! It is so very pretty and I loved every second of making this one! The material came from the US and the crocheted lace trim on the bottom was from a wonderful little shop in Lech in Austria. It cost twice as much as the rest of the materials put together, but I think it’s worth it! 
I threaded some white ribbon through the crocheted lace trim, and the hearts pattern within it makes it look even prettier. The sleeves are so billowy that I love to see them floating around, so as you can see, not one to wear whilst doing anything vaguely domesticated! 
The little tie at the back is a nice detail, rather than the use of a button closure……
And as I was due to wear it the day after the tragic events which took place in Norway, it seemed fitting to show my support in some way or other, so I wore my little Norge bow for a week on other clothing – it just seemed right at the time…..
And with that, I’m off to continue on some ‘development’ ideas I have rushing around my head – once I get started, I just get lost in the moment!
Many thanks for dropping by!
Stor klem og ha en god helg alle sammen!

Hei!
Those of you who read this earlier would have seen a different version of this post, but it was a little sad and negative, so I've decided to change it and remove part of it, as it's really not my style - hope it hasn't confused anyone!
So, on a lighter note........
To update you, the winner of my dark powder ‘Engel’ wristlets, was lovely Solfrid from vakre Norge, and they are winging their way there as I type – Little Miss Norway is on her to way to Norway!
These little mammas from a previous Odd Molly life arrived last week and I’m thrilled to bits with them, they look soo cute on! Never thought I’d own a pair of these, so I just need a proper sunny day now to wear them – if we’re lucky enough, as there haven’t been many this summer where I live! 
Definitely starting to think I have a shorts fetish now, as I have so many pairs of them! LOL
See, this poor cow has had to shelter under a tree, as it’s soo wet out there today! The others were smart enough to head back to the sheds, but this one just stayed there for hours, keeping her face dry and moo-ing a lot – no wonder!!
And it's so dark, that I’ve had to light some tealights – but at least I managed to go cut some of my very first lot of sweet peas before the rain came down!
But always one to end on a happy note, here’s a lovely photie……….
A clothes rack, full of my favourite designers – Odd Molly, Ti-Mo and Little Miss Norway……ooh, that’s me! 
Wishing you a lovely sunny day tho!
Stor klem!

I’ll bet if you’re a Molly girl, you have a number of these lovely silks in your wardrobe and have experienced the same problem as me, in that they used to have a tendency to split slightly along the seams.
Sometimes I would buy a bigger size, only to find it was too large on the top, so that didn’t solve the problem for me. I have repaired this little lot once before, but this time round, I decided to take a different approach, so I once again repaired the seams, then decided to remove the button closure from the back and replace it with some ribbon – from the little lace wash bags that Odd Molly occasionally supply, and here’s the result……
The powder ribbon worked superbly on the powder slip I had…….
And also used it on this rose silk tank – but in reality, you could use a ribbon of your own colour choice!
So you see, you can now wear your pretty little silk numbers to fit you perfectly, without ripping the seams!
Just a thought……….. 
Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by!
Stor klem til deg!

Well it was started in July 2010 and I was hoping to have it finished within a year, so I attempted to complete it on Sunday, but got side-tracked, and therefore it was finalised yesterday, taking me a day over a year since the idea sprung into my head, but there you go!
Think it was worth the wait though, as when I saw it on the mannequin for the first time, it brought tears to my eyes as it is just so pretty! Unfortunately the photos don’t do the lace used justice, so I attempted to take a photo with flash in order to highlight the detail somewhat……
The true colour is more like the other photos but I just wanted to pick out the beautiful lace panels running down the length of the dress.
I love the beautiful heart applique on the back of the dress – just a little extra detail that works really well!
Close up…….
Pretty little sleeves…….
Heidi Long and Heidi short, both lovely indeed!
But it’s with a heavy heart that I’m selling the long dress, as I would love to keep it, but in truth, I just can’t keep everything I make for little ole me so I guess I have to make a business decision every now and then and move things along – that plus I own 6 long dresses, and so far, I’ve only ever worn one, so there is no point in this hanging in my wardrobe not being worn, as I’d much rather someone else enjoy it instead!
The dress would fit up to an Odd Molly small size 2 if you’re not big on top, and I would recommend that you should be at least 168cm (like me!) or taller, as it sits on my ankle bone and not trailing on the floor!
This beauty is for sale at £100.00 (exc of P&P).
A lot of work, effort and more importantly, a massive amount of expensive lace went into making this dress, so it’s worth every penny, believe me!
First come served, as this is a ‘one-off’ so if you like, please leave me a post here and I’ll get back to you!
Hope you’re all having a nice sunny day wherever you may be – here (as usual!) it’s cold and wet –oh can’t we please have some sun! 
Stor klem til dig!
