At long last... a few lovely ladies have arrived!
Please give a warm greeting to Fru Gustavson, who although rather shy, like most Scandinavians, is so warm and sweet-tempered. She is rather quiet and prefers tea-parties to horse-back riding or other more sporty ventures.
I have been busy in my sewing room.
First with my machine...
Then finishing off with needle and thread. Ouch, sometimes I miss and poke my finger!
I am so in love with this Kaffe Fasset floral on Fru Hoff's front side.
Yes, I would also like to introduce Fru Hoff, an outgoing socialite who will loves to make a grand entrance and who always has her dance card full. Fru Akershus is taking a little nap, and her manner is just as her round face and pretty lips would presume: a genuine sweetheart.
I am so charmed by your blog. I love reading every time you have an update, and you always have the loveliest pictures. I just love my little doll so much (Fru Skatter--perhaps you remeber this little beauty?)and now she sits in my kitchen, overseeing the cooking that is happening in there. Thanks for the inspiration, even across many countries! Your blog is one of my favorite!

Oh, that's one of my favorite kaffe designs. His older patterns were so good...I wish they would reprint them.
Fru Hoff is fantastic!
