Bukserne er faerdige/the pants are done:-)

Da jeg vaagnede i morges var jeg i et super kreativt humoer, saa jeg sprang ud af sengen og fik toej paa inden Emma vaagnede og Aarons vaekkeur ringede. Det resulterede i at jeg i dag fik syet 2 par bukser til Emma, saa med det par jeg syede den anden uge, saa er det hele 3 par!!!! - Paa listen over ting jeg skal lave staar der kun at jeg skal sy 2 par, men jeg var lige saa godt i gang saa jeg syntes lige at jeg kunne sy et par mere.

Derudover fik jeg ogsaa syet et halsroer til Aaron, da han mangler noget til at varme om halsen naar han arbejder ude i minus 20+ grader. Jeg tog bare maal efter en Aaron havde laant af hans kollega, hvilket maalte 32 x 28 cm (Naar den laa dobbelt + soem rum).

When I woke up this morning I felt super creative, so I jumped out of bed before Emma woke up and Aaron's alarm went off. The result was that I today made 2 pairs of pants for Emma, so with the pair I made the other week, that is 3 pairs!!! - on my To Do list it only states 2 pairs, but I was on a roll so I thought I might as well make another pair while I was at it. 

I also made a tube scarf thingy for Aaron, as he needs something warm around his neck when he is working outside in minus 20+ weather. I just measured one that Aaron borrowed from his coworker, which was 32 x 28 cm (double + seam). 

Saa er der pyntet op til Jul/Now the Christmas decorations are up:-)

Akrobatbukser/Acrobat pants:-)

Min kaere svigerfar kom med laane symaskinen i gaar aftes, saa i dag gik jeg fluks i gang med at sy det foerste par akrobat bukser. Ville egentlig godt have syet flere par, men ville lige tjekke om faconen passede og saa fandt jeg ogsaa ud af at jeg ikke har matchende rib til de andre stoffer. Bukserne er str. 12 mdr, saa er stadig lidt lange til Emma, men ellers passer faconen bare rigtig godt. Her faar i lige lidt billeder af bukserne (Emma ville ikke sidde stille, saa det var lidt svaert).

My dear father-in-law brought the sewing machine last night, so today i started off by making a pair of acrobat pants. I would have liked to make several pairs, but I decided to check if the pattern fits first and then I also realized that I do not have enough ribbing for the other fabrics. The pants are size 12 mths, so they are still a little long on Emma, but other than that the pattern fits great. Here are some pictures of the pants (Emma would not sit still, so it was pretty hard)  

Indkoeb til julekjole/shopping for Christmas dress:-)

I loerdags var jeg i Fabric Land og koebe lynlaas m.m. til Emma`s julekjole, saa naar svigermor kommer med symaskinen, saa er jeg bare klar til at tage fat (Jeg har faaet lov til at laane svigermors Kenmore symaskine paa ubestemt tid, hvilket bare er super dejligt). Hvad jeg ikke vidste da jeg traadte ind i Fabric Land var, at de havde udsalg - alt i butikken minus 50%, saa selvom jeg kun kom for at koebe smaating til julekjolen, saa kom jeg ogsaa lige til at koebe to flotte stykker stof til sommerkjoler til Emma-pigen m.m. Da jeg flyttede herover fik jeg heller ikke mine syting med, saa der kom ogsaa lidt basis naale ned i kurven.

I went to Fabric Land on Saturday to buy a zipper etc for the Christmas dress I'm making for Emma, so that when my mother-in-law brings the sewing machine I'm ready to go (My mother-in-law is lending me her Kenmore machine, which is awesome). What I did not know when I stepped into Fabric Land was that they were having a sale - everything in the store minus 50%, so needless to say I did not just buy a zipper for the Christmas dress, but I also ended up buying a few fabrics for summer dresses for Emma etc. When I moved here I also left all my sewing stuff behind, so had to buy some needless etc. as well.  

Fisken er faerdig/the "Fish" is finished:-)

Jeg blev faerdig med fisken fredag aften, og den blev rigtig fin. Venter dog lige med at tage billeder af den indtil jeg ogsaa har faaet strikket huen:-)

I finished the "Fish" (a small scarf that looks like a fish) Friday night, and it turned out really well. I will take pictures of it when I have finished the toque as well:-)

Jeg har faaet en ide/I had an idea

Jeg har faaet den her vildt skoere ide at jeg er kreativ og at jeg da godt lige kan sy, strikke og haekle til Emma pigen, selvom jeg i forvejen ikke syntes at jeg har tid nok paa en dag. Foreloebig ser listen over ting jeg skal lave til Emma saadan her ud:

• Haekle en cardigan til Emma-pigen
• Sy 2 par bukser med  plads til stof bleen
• Sy en julekjole til Emma, af en kjole jeg har faaet fra en kollega, men aldrig brugt
• Strikke en fisk
• Strikke en hue 
• haekle en abe noeglering
• haekle en ulv
• haekle mindst 2 elge noegleringe, da min mor ogsaa gerne vil have en (og jeg kan sagtens komme i tanke om andre som ogsaa gerne ville have en i gave)

Hmmm, jeg har kun naaet 1 ting paa listen ind til videre - er godt nok i gang med fisken, og HAR kigget paa moenstret til kjolen, men stadigvaek. Maa hellere stoppe med at blogge, saa jeg kan faa lavet noget i stedet for:-)

I had this crazy idea that I am creative, and can easily sew, knit, and crochet stuff for Emma-girl, despite the fact that I don;t think I have enough time in a day as it is. So far my to do list to make for Emma looks like this:  

• crochet a cardigan for Emma girl
• Sew 2 pairs of pants with room enough for the cloth diaper
• Sew a Christmas dress for Emma out of a dress I got from a colleague, but have never usedy
• Knit a "fish"
• Knit a toque
• crochet a monkey
• crochet a monkey rattle
• crochet at least 2 moose key chains 

Hmm I have only completed 1 thing so far - did start the "fish" and looked at the pattern for the Christmas dress, but still. Have to stop blogging now, so that I can get stuff done instead:-)
