Things for Molly

Hi!

At the fair they had a lot of nice things and I found some things for Molly. I found this sweet fabric with garden gnomes and hedgehogs and other things. So I am going to make a litle tunique and pants.

The wool is for a small cardigan...called In threes a baby cardigan You can see the pattern here if you have a ravelry acount....if you don't and you knit...get one!! Here is a google search so you can see pictures. The pattern is made by Kelly Herdich Kelly without a net.

 

The picture here is not of Molly but of another sweet girl that is wearing a finished cardigan.

 

I also had to buy some new clothes for Molly. Here in Sweden at daycare the children are outside the whole morning so they need pants and a jacket that are waterproof for the spring and autum. But I also found another spring and autum jacket more for when we go into town. I thought it was so cute:

Finally the Quilt

The magazine is out and I can finally show you the quilt I have been working on for so long! It is going to be in the Fat Quarter Magazine for the whole 2012!

The middle embroidery is designed by Simone från Soed Idee.

There are 2 versions a pink and a blue one:

I am so happy about the way they turned out. The blue one is sewn by my friend Ann-christine who did a check to see that there were no mistakes.

I hope you will all like it and will love making it all 2012!

Maybe you remember me showing you the backside? The backside is an old fabric made up out of squares....

A new website

So about 1200 of you already have seen it without me telling you about:

My new website! I have a new website and it is now in Swedish and has more pictures and information about my clubs and BOM's.

It went on-line when I was at the fair..and I thought I would announce it..but many of you have already found it yourselves!

So please visit www.pinkandbarbara.com and have a look!

Krabbelurer

I just wanted to share a recipe with you for a swedish dish called krabbelurer. It is like a pancake but thicker:

1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
2 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
butter to fry
 
Do this

Beat eggs and sugar lightly foamy. Add the milk, then flour and vanilla. Stir thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth.
Take a frying pan and melt the butter over medium heat. Click the batter and bake krabbelurer in batches, 3-4 minutes on each side. Be carefull...because nothing will happen for a while and you will get bored and then when you look again they are burned... (ask me how I know :-)) )
Serve them warm with whipped cream and jam.

It is nice for brunch and lunch.

Enjoy!

 

A happy Molly

Since I have been bussy preparing the fair I have spent the last days with my sweet Molly. She is so happy to have her mommy home again.

Here are some pictures of us walking outside and of her in my big chair. She is growing up to be such a big girl..the time just flies by:
