Last friday we had our little quilting bee at Mariannes. Its always fun to do some chatting, sewing and having a good time

Here are my cutted squares and rectangles - they need to be turned into blocks

Getting Ready For Some Sewing

After two month without sewing I defently need to get back to my sewing machine. This projects needs to be done in September....... sigh......I wonder where the last few month have gone???  Marinne has called that we are going to have another quilting bee at her house.......thats my chance to get finally started.

Those are the fabrics which will be used for this quilt - let the cutting begin :)

I wont post alot of pics from this project cuz I´m not sure if the recipients are stopping by at my blog


Wooden Barrel

I also started working on my "table" for my chill corner. The barrel has been in one of our sheds since forever. After scrubbing of the dirt - the barrel sits outside to dry off


Still quite some work to do but I hope I´ll get it done before the sun season is over :)

Old Wooden Box

Couple weeks ago I run into this wooden box in the basement. I cleaned it, did some wood worm treatment, added little rollers and here we go



I love my little "new" furniture
