School's out!

My girl at the Summer Concert.

misty morning

visiting with dear friends in the countryside 

happy vests

some nice and soft alpaca baby vests, in my itty bitty tiny shop.
love, love, love the colours! now all i need is a baby to model them...

green gift

not all goals are accomplished in time. this jacket for a 3-year old i know was meant for x-mas, but didn't finnish until yesterday. i'm sure it will be appreciated anyway. 

pattern and yarn from Nøstebarn (pattern no 1921, Voksejakke - norwegian only).

a gift

you're maybe thinking that you've seen this incredible box of magic before? i know i have, right here. i just had no idea that i was the lucky friend to receive it. the leaf pattern is made by - well, leaves, plant dyed. this is a repurposed, reused, thrifted, ecologically sane and skillfully decorated treasure box. i so adore it. thank you, mona!
