New rewersable totes

I've made two rewersable totes from som new denim and some old curtains. The totes have one open pocket and one zipped pocket on the denim side.

Jeg har sydd to nye vendbare vesker av ny dongeri og en gammel gardin. Veskene har to lommer på dongeri siden. Den ene lommen har glidelås. Veskene er til salgs for 200 kr + porto.

Send en mail til sol(alfakrøll)stensland.no dersom du er interessert i å kjøpe en.

I can't stop

I can't stop knitting shawls. Here's what I've been knitting the last cople of months.


Fountain Pen Shawl by Susan Pierce Lawrence



Cobweb Crepe Shawl by Sharon Miller


And of course my all time favourite: Flower Basket Shawl by Evelyn A. Clarke.

Off my frame

This quilt came off my frame today. A customer made this lovely rose quilt.

I quilted it with this rose pattern that is one of my favourites.

The quilt pattern is called "turning twenty". I think I might have to try it out too.

For the sweet tooth

Coockies and fruit pate from a pâtisserie in Nice. Yummy!

New bags

I've made some new bags. This one is made from an old curtain. It's a quick and easy reversable tote.

The horse embrodery is one of my thrifting finds. The bag is made for a friend who loves horses. It's a big bag that fits both a binder and a laptop.

The pattern is from the book Hånd i hanke by Anne-Pia Godske Rasmussen.

Boys toys

A friend came by last night to show us his veteran Porsche that he's been working on all winter. It's a 911 from 1976. He took my boys for a ride, and they where thrilled.

Thrifting

I did a little bit of thrifting today, and found these ugly stools. With some sanding, a can of spraypaint and som leftover oilcloth they turned out quite nice.
