En til - Another
I `m weak for photos where just a tiny little bit of the flower is in focus.It gves a dreamy like photo. I`m sure there are many opinions about photos like this, but I love them.
Det blomstrer fremdeles - The garden is still in bloom
.....mens denne ser ut til å ville gjemme seg litt for regnet ;-}

Lys i mørket - Light in the dark
Man trenger litt lys og varme i mørke høstkvelder. Spesielt i disse "strømsparetider". Litt gammelt og nytt i skjønn forening. Jeg skal legge ut et bilde av dette i dagslys, så det går an å se hvordan det ser ut ;-}
We need some candlelight and warmth in the Autumn evenings.. Especially now that we will have to pay a fortune in electricity bills....Something old and something new on a tray. I will show you a photo of it in daylight later ;-}

Dekorasjon - Decoration
Today I`ve been doing som garden work and some decorating on the front door. I bought these hearts in an local flowershop the other day. They are really decorative as they are,but I added some Rowan berries to add some fall colour ;-} I went to a Flee Market yesterday and I found an old case that I`m going to put beside my front door with some heather on. I`ll post a photo later.

Flere loppefunn - More Flee Market stuff
These are all items that I ought on the Fllemaket on Saturday. I didn`t get to upload the photos on Blogger yesterday ;-} The bowl with the rose on,are old and comes from Stavanger Flint. I love the little even if it`s old and "worn". I was looking for some small glass vases,and found these two. Lovely! The laste photo is of the same item as in the last post.

Loppemarked - Flee Marked
I went to a Flee market on Saturday, not only one,but three....It was great. A lot of people, coffee(for those who drink coffee) cakes, wafles,and mineral water. And of course all the "flees"..some of them were totally uninteresting but other were fantastic. I found a few treasures,and here are some of them ;-}
Jeg falt for disse fine skålene som passer perfekt som lysasjetter....Nesten alle sammen ulike,men fine sammen ;-}
I fell for these saucers which will be perfect for candles.....They don`t have the same pattern,but looks great together.
Disse to koppene fant jeg på det andre loppemarkedet jeg var på. De er fra Porsgrunn Porselen, og får nok stå til pynt på ei hylle.Tror ikke jeg betalte mer enn 10 kr for dem....
I found this on the second Fleemarket I visited. They are from Porsgrunn Porcelaine, and will look great on one of my shelves.
These two small glasses for salt and pepper, I just had to bring home....The other one is for sugar...
Osteklokken hadde dessverre ikke noe fat,men passer jo også på sølvfatet som jeg fant.
This one didn`t have a plate, but looks good on the silverplate that I found.
Sommerfughjerte- bildet er ferdig! - My Butterflyheart- quilt is finished
Today I finished my wall-hanging. The photo doesn`t show it right I think,but you get an impression of what it look like. Even if there are`nt many Butterflies this time of year, I think this is an autumn quilt with autumn colours ;-}

Endelig, litt syarbeid - At last,some sewing
I vår kjøpte jeg litt sommerfuglstoff og mangefarget sytråd på Dombås da vi var å vei tilbake fra konfirmasjon i Molde,og i dag kom det endelig til nytte!!!! Det var gøy å sette seg ned å sy litt igjen ;-} Jeg ble ikke helt ferdig,men her er i alle fall noen bilder av det veggbildet under arbeid.
I had some BIG plans this summer to do a lot of sewing,and I cut out some hearts from patterns from Lise Bergenes book....but I only managed to make some curtains for my bathroom and the dollhouse... ;-}
This spring I bought some butterfly fabric and some multi colour thread in Dombås when we were on our way back from a confirmation in Molde, and today I made use of it!!! It was great fun to do some sewing again ;-} I didn`t get to finish it, but here are some photos of the process.
Nærbilde av sommerfuglhjertet.
Close-up of the Butterflyheart.
Bildet er quiltet med mangefarget tråd i ujevne ruter.
It`s quilted with an multicolour thread in uneven squares.

Nytt oppussingsprosjekt klart - Finished redecorating my 2nd project
Denne har tilhørt bestemoren min(Besta) i Bremanger. Den var opprinnelig brun med marmorert malt topplate,men for noen år siden var det moderne å lute møbler,og det ble gjort med denne også. Nå har den fått noen strøk med min hvite maling (med en liten touch av rosa i...)
I`ve finished redecorating my second project. I am not good at photographing interior, bare with me... This one I got after my grandmother. It used to be brown. Some years ago we"took off"all the color,and now i painted it white with a little dash of white ;-}
Vaskevannsfatet og muggen har jeg også arvet etter Besta. Det står på en heklet brikke som alltid har ligget på vaskeservanten. Det hører også en liten brikke til som ligger oppå den lille hyllen. Sikkert til å ha såpekoppen på. Pyntehåndkleet som henger bak er også arvegods fra bestemoren min. Til den hører det et vakkert dynetrekk og en liten duk. Det kan jeg prøve å få til å vise senere. Det sydde hun til bryllupet sitt, og det er brodert monogram på. Jeg er utrolig glad for at jeg har fått arve disse fine tingene.
I also inherited these items from my Grandmother. Not sure how to explain everyting in English.....But I am so happy I inherited all these lovely things ;-}
Kan det friste med en liten ansiktsvask med rosevann.......?
Care for a little facial wash.....?

Nært innpå naturen - A close look at nature
Skogen er vakker nå når den holder på å skifte farge. Bøy deg ned og se nærmere på planter og bittesmå insekter....Jeg er sikker på at mange av de digitale kamera som dere bruker, har en macrofunksjon. Prøv den i helgen. Man kommer kanskje ikke så nær som dette,men noen kommer så nær som 10 cm, andre så nær som 2-4 cm....Prøv!
GOD HELG DERE!
The woods are beautiful this time of year when most everyting changes colour. take a closer look at plants and small insects....I am sure that many of your digital cameras has a macro function. Try it out this Weekend. You probably won`t come as near as this,but some will get as close as 10 cm,and others as close as 2- 4 cm. Hace a try! I WISH YOU A GREAT WEEKEND!

Solnedgang på Vestkapp - Sundown at Westcape
I`ve been looking through my photos from this summer. Some of them I just delete,but others are ready for some work in Photoshop. I try to adjust everything when I take the photo,but it`s great fun to play with the photos in Photoshop. Make new cuts and so on. This photo is from the fantastic sunset at Westcape.

Joerdbærkrans - Strawberry wreath
Jeg har også laget en krans,men denne er av stoff, og selvfølgelig jordbærstoff. Jeg har også laget en i julestoffer,men den er litt mindre enn denne.
Many bloggers show us wreaths that they have made from material that they have made from leaves and berries that they find. I ,however have made my wreath of fabric,with strawberries on of course ;-} I`ve also made one in Christmas fabrics. That one`s a bit smaller though.
