Autumn in colour


Along the coast in clefts on the mountains there are lots of trees with bright red berries. The leaves are yet not yellow but will turn so shortly. I prepare for the autumn and sit inside in the dusk making my embroidery.

Summer good-bye!


Take a look at this lovely face all covered with flowers!

Twitter


When I hear the word "twitter" I always come to think of birds - like on this little bag.

Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs



I brought these Easter eggs from Austria. You can find them there in almost every restaurant and shop as decoration. I wonder how they make them so colourful?

Three-eyed Figure



This handybag looks like a small carpet - rich in red and purple.

Surprise in Austria



My sister-in-law found a shop in Salzburg full of yarns in all possible shades. As a birthday present I could pick a basket full. What a treat! Thank you Raimund and Astrid!

Iceman


Here are all my memories from the visit to Jukkasjärvi: the iceman, the weapons, the snow, the stars at night, the cold outside and the warmth inside the sauna.

Icewoman






We bought two candleholders at the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi outside Kiruna. They have the same shape as the iceglasses you get in the icebar - very neat!I placed my handybag called "Icewoman" next to them as a reminder of the cold night we spent there.

Qianlong




I saw a stamp on an old bowl from China with the meaning Qianlong. I had to do a lot of counting when I embroidered this one, but I thought it would make a sweet pattern. Here is the result : a tiny handybag in brown and gold.

Jars Behind Bars



I was inspired by the iron window but had to add some colours. The jars I just invented to make the handybag more attractive.

Olly



My mother-in-law passed away not so long ago. I made this bag in memory of her - a red star on a yellow background and and a blue ribbon. It would have suited her fine. Today is her birthday.

In Search of Inspiration





Here is a window covered with iron bars on a monastery not far from Laxå where we made a stop on our journey down to the west coast.







This is a picture of my favourite beach. The ice makes wonderful patterns in the mountain creeks.

For my Sister



I created this bag for my sister who soon has her sixtieth birthday. The bag is full with symbols from her life - family, animals, garden, students and the west coast.

This star lightens up my window at nights. As you already know, I like stars. Here is a bag with a star pattern.
