Yes, it is only 9 weeks until Christmas! This sobering fact just dawned on me. I have already delivered several gifts on our visit to the US, but I have a great many ideas for projects as well as people I plan to make things for. I have begun to fill up the shop with Christmasy matryoshkas.
I had Christmas CANDY in mind when I made them! Fru Jul (which means Mrs. Christmas in Norwegian) and fru Stripete (which means Mrs. Striped in Norwegian) are both in my shop.
Speaking of shop, I am having a store wide sale this weekend ending Monday October 26th. I am giving 20% off all items. Now really is the best time to shop with this great discount and it is sure to arrive in time for the holidays!
I had intended to blog more frequently last week but the children have needed more attention than usual as they have both been coughing and waking at night. Since they don't have any sign of a fever it seems to be a cold and not the flu. Thank goodness, but a mother does worry. I hope you and yours are enjoying a happy and healthy weekend!
I aodre your christmas candy dolls espcially Fru Jul! :) How fun is it to have a pre-holiday sales! I hope your little ones feel better soon and that you are having a good rest and a lovely merry happy weekend! Love to you!

Your sweet's are cute as ever... tisk, tisk... I'm thinking maybe everyone will get books this year! LoL... we are going to tend our grandkids for 10-12 days while our daughter and SIL go on a cruise in France, Italy and Spain. And that will be right in the middle of when I should be sewing... ahem, don't think I will get much done then!
And then we are off to visit our son and DIL for his graduation... and then back just days b/4 Christmas! Yes... life is getting busy!
Glad to hear that it's just colds with the kids! I had the flu weekend b/4 last! Not fun! Aches and shivers and then hot... yuck! Not fun at all!!!
Hope that the little ones recover quickly!
