A hot weekend

There has been a very very hot week and this weekend my friend Irene and I went to her cabin to relax and hoping for a little swim in the lake. First we went to the lake nearby her cabin, but when we walked out into the water it was sooooooooooooo freezing cold. We were told there had been 24 C in the water, but this time I guessed it was not warmer than 14 C. As one of the sunbaders on the beach said....there was thin ice on the water. Disapointed, because we did not dear to swim in the water, we went back to the cabin............still hot .

But then we thought of the river running nearby her cabin. Perhaps try for a bath there. And so we did............and the water was so warm. Not very deep, but we was able to chill off the heat. We went back into the water early this morning even though it was only 15 C in the air and starting to rain........(norwegian vikings LOL)

Today when driving home from the cabin we drove by Laila for a little visit. And of course we had to have an inspection in her sewingroom. I am so happy I'm not the only one with a lot of projects. We get new ideas all the time.

New ideas, new projects...............I started on a new one this weekend too. Leanne Beasleys new pattern in Homespun. I was so lucky that someone sendt me the pattern and I love it. Leanne is visiting Norway in september, but I am so busy this month so I will not be able to attend to her workshops in Trondheim. I wish I could.

June OPAM Winner

This evening I have been visiting blogs that has not reported finishes to me. Thanks to all of you that has reported, that makes my work easier. But it is always fun to visit your blog. Sorry that I do not leave a comment, but there are so many to look through. And I want to publish the winner tonight.

One thing I have noticed visiting all the OPAM blogs. There is actually 23 blogs that has removed the badge. I guess that means you do not want to participate anymore. Some ladies have mailed me and Kris and told they want to leave the challenge, thank you for telling us.

But the rest of you have done a faboulous job with finishing projects. Even though a lot of you have no finshes this month the total amount of finishes is 397. That's great. And I have already noticed july finishes listed in the sidebar.

And this is what I have to give the winner of JUNE OPAM

One pattern from Crabapple Hill (I love their patterns)

and a fat quarter of rose fabric.

And the winner is:

MARICA

I will start checking your blogs and lists.

And thursday I will tell you who's June OPAM winner.

Oh...that reminds me to find a prize for the winner.

June has not been a productive month regarding to finishes. I have done a lot of sewing, but not finishes. I'm very clever at starting projects LOL who's not????

But today when I realiced it was the last day in June, I went into my sewingroom to see if there was something I could finish in a hurry. Because I wanted a finish for June. And this what I found. A little stitchery which my friend Bjørg designed and gave me as a christmas gift. I just had to wash it and iron it............

and put it into a frame. It took less than half an hour to finish it.
