Husflid magazine

I never walk away from a flea market empty handed. My favorite finds are of course fabrics, buttons and trims. However, books and magazines can be a great place to find creative inspiration too.

I found a few of these recent Husflid magazines at a recent flea market and thought you might enjoy taking a peek into one too.

These little carved figures have such character. It makes me want to learn to whittle.

I just had to show you these hens and chicks. I did a bit of embroidery today while lying out in the back yard catching the ever weakening rays of the sun. It was just the usual, some french knots on my latest batch of matryoshka dolls. Lilly found a little green caterpillar to play with and amused herself for quite some time with him while I stitched. We played a game of go-fish together after I cleaned out several closets and cupboards. Now there is a stack of outgrown clothes, etc. ready for giving away. It is the official changing of the seasons. Then I stitched again this afternoon sitting next to my son and helping him struggle through a mountain of homework. The poor guy was in tears over not having any time to play outside.

The children are all nestled in bed and I have a few minutes to spare! Tonight I am finally listing some new needlebooks in my shop, one with pink ribbon and another in green. They have been sold out for some time. I will try to keep things better stocked now!

So, since you give hand me downs to someone else... do you get hand me downs too? Just wondering... it was always like Christmas for us when my dear SIL gave us hand me downs. We had other friends that gave us stuff too... and then as you say... we passed things to others. So nice to be able to share!
Hope your enjoying the sun while you can! Hmmmmmm, makes me think that I need to clean out some things too!
Ta-ta!

It's hard to read norwegian in english when you're swedish, heh.

Thanks for telling us about Husflid. I would love to get my hands on one. I love Nordic folk art and costume. I'll see if there is a website.

Thank you so much Julie, you are most kind! I sometimes wish I didn't find
so many things. I really don't have space or time to use it all!!!

Hi Marisa!
I really loved hearing from you today- thank you for taking the time to
leave me such sweet words! I was so happy to enter your contest and think
her courses sound really great. I think that would be a good way for me to
learn. When I go to an actual class I get easily distracted by my fellow
students and don't get as much done as I would like... :)
Hope you are doing well! I adore your blog- keep up the great work! You have
introduced me to so much in the quilting world! Like Yoko Saito! I am so
wanting her newest book!

Hugs from Emily
