I've totally forgot my blog the last weeks. But I have my Instagram where most of my things are. Some things are secret and can't be shown though.

I made some cute lavendel bags today. They smell fantastic. I've also made some new pincushions the last weeks. Here they are.

Sometimes I have a feeling my friends and family call med crazy with all my fabrics and sewing related things I'm into. And actually I can feel crazy myself from time to time. But it's a good way of being crazy. After all I meet other crazy ladies on my way, and feel comfortable spending time with them.
Joan of Moose Stash Quilting is organizing a blog hop showing many of us crazy folks this week. I couldn't resist jumping in. And I've already seen some really crazy things. You can do it too by visiting her blog post with all the links.
This spring I was stumbling over a FB group for hand stitching. I like to learn new things, so I jumped in with Stephanie in The Ugly Stitch Club. There I can try and fail, and everybody is so nice with each other in the comments. And I've learnt a lot. These hand stitched fabric bowls I made after a great tutorial from Stephanie. They are super fun to make, and I am hooked. We're happy to grow the group, so please check it out.
It's so calming to hand stitch these snippets for the bowl, and I had to make one more for this blog hop.
Here are some more pictures so that you may be able to see the stitches.
Please visit my fellow bloggers today. This is where you can find us:

Den syende himmel(you're here)
I have another crazy project going on, my mini La Passion. The top is now finished with about 17 000 hexies sized 1/4". Now I'm hand quilting it, and it's going faster than I had thought. You can find links to my two big hand stitched hexie projects in the side bar.
As I'm a crazy pincushion lover and maker, I have to show you my crazy quilt pincushions. The back sides are pretty too. The nature here is purple just now, as you can see.
No activity here this last month. I'm working on some secret projects at the moment, and can't show you yet. Some of the items I've made are for a blog hop coming up next week HERE. My day is Wednesday, but there will be lots of inspiration from Monday already. So just wait and see.
I had to make some pincushions though. Here are two of them. I love that I can use all my tiniest scraps in these ones. Welcome back next week.

Following the theme for July from Art Journal Journey, I made a page with a butterfly for a new journal. As you may know, I love butterflies. I also incorporated a little sweet bear in between the berries.
I've started hand quilting my mini La Passion at last. I chose Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Blend inside, and a white backside. It's working perfectly, and I'm having a nice hour every day with my hexagon quilt and the needle. It's almost impossible to see the pattern on the front, but I hope you can see it on the back side of the quilt.

I've almost forget about my blog these days. But here's a new post, at last. I'm still making one Tula Pink block every week. I haven't got the original fabrics, so I have to find my own way through this book. The coffee block will hopefully work well.
Finished block 85 this week. And with that all the square blocks are finished. Here are pictures of some of them, and all together.

At last this one is quilted and finished. I struggled a bit with the colour of the binding. But I'm happy with the narrow blue with a hint of yellow I've chosen.
This is a French song, and I made not only one house, but sixteen. And here is my blue city for the quiltalong by Cocopatch.
The last months I've been practicing kawandi. It would be great to take a class, but most of all it needs experience. I've watched some youtube videos, and studied pictures. I'm still learning, and it's so calming and fun.
Last week I had a class for some friends, so they shouldn't have to do all the mistakes I've been through. We had a nice evening, and all of us started a book cover.
When I had finished my piece, it was a bit too big for the book I had bought. So I made it into a little pouch instead. When I found a sweet owl and a matching button to put on, it ended up just perfect.

I've had so much fun with these blocks. And after I decided to make one block a week, the progress has been slow and steady. Here are the blocks from the last two months.
