Well, I found out on my last post that when it comes to sunshine and spring weather, there aren't too many who are willing to share. I grudgingly have to admit I understand. I had a ball reading all the funny comments, thanks so much for making these chilly days more fun!
I am going away tomorrow for a sewing course and weekend!
I am practically giddy and don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight. My husband said at dinner: "Well, it has only been a decade since you have gone off on your own for a night away from the family." He is nice to encourage me to enjoy myself. I hope he is still just as supportive when I arrive home on Saturday evening after leaving him alone with the children for nearly two days and he sees me laden down with bags and bags of fabrics.
I finally opened an on-line shop in Norway! It was something I have considered for ages but just got around to it now. My shop there is called Ravenhill, I know, really original. The site is called Epla, meaning apple. I think it might be fun for my non-Norwegian readers to see what creative people are making in Norway.
Should you ever want anything from my Epla shop don't hesitate to ask me, I can easily transfer it to Etsy instead.
While I am gone you might enjoy this fabulous blog I recently found and fell in love with.
Emily, another beautiful blogspot--and I checked out both of the links...the one to your shop and the other one too--delightful!
Have a wonderful weekend sewing and away from home!

I really love the colours of your new matroushkas, full of energy in a way. And hopefully it will be a bit greener in the south of Norway in May, as we planned to go there for our vacation :-)
