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!
Stor klem!

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!

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……

Shame really, as it’s adorable!
