At last, my pincushion finished as my friend Stina gave to me as a secret Christmas gift. The embroidery was quick to make but after that I have no idea where the time went to prepare it. But today we had about – 32 degrees below zero outside, so it was good to spend some time in the sewing room. It is actually a lots of ongoing projects that must be take care of before it´s time to start up new projects. But it’s so fun to do something new instead Bye the way if you went over to Stina you´ll find this wonderful stitchery and pattern to make this cute pincushion..

Thanks a lot Stina for this secret gift. It was fun to make

Take care!

I came here on the blog and updated : ( It has not happened so much here really. sewing machine and fabrics have been resting properly Have spent many evenings and working voluntarily in Friskis & Svettis and it will be enough, all this month also .

But now to something more fun. Also this year, Sinta and Sherri arrange a challenge called Another Year of Schnibbles. I was included in their previous project, Le Petite, last year. Unfortunately I did not do all the 12-month project but there are plans to maybe catch them this year. But anyway, I’ve working in the sewing room for a few days and make the January pattern - Full House by Carrie. Unfortunately, nothing goes well but eventually I got the help from my friend Laila. Thank you so very much! Then it went so perfect to make some cute little house and them will become a pillow later this weekend. But I finish the top

Now time for bed and I promise it´ll not take so long time before I update next time

Take care!
