Having a little lie down

The latest copy of Sew Hip magazine appeared in my mailbox. Just in time for a well-deserved break! I have been busy with filling up my shop!

Fru Hyggen,  Fru Dahle, Fru Muri, and Fru Karlsson are all atwitter at the prospect of flying all over the world to new homes! 

Now after all my labours it is only right that I make a cup of tea, lie down on the couch and relax, first wtih my new magazine!

One of my favorite sections of Sew Hip is the book reviews. I look forward to checking out both of these books when I get the chance. Tone Finnanger, the author of Sew Sunny homestyle is the lady behind Tilda and is from Norway!

The magazine includes several patterns to make each issue. The turtle is one of them this month.

Isn't it cute?

 

After a good look through my sewing magazine I'll likely work on my crocheted mittens. Anna, my friend and neighbor who offered to help me on learning how to do shepherd's knitting, and I agreed that the old-fashioned and pretty pjoning hook is for the birds. It kept getting snagged on the wool. The modern crochet hook is in use for a good reason and I am using it instead. They are turning out quite thick and seem like they will be very warm. That will be good as the colder days are approaching.
