Pink and Barbara

Last weekend

So I thought I had written a post about last weekend but apparently I did not :-)

I finshed a pair of pants, blouse and cardigan for Molly from the fabric I showed you the week before:

Here is a better picture of the cardigan with some other clothes. It turned out wonderful! I used needles nr 4 and the fleece artist yarn. There were some strange white specks in the yarn but still it was ok and it blocked out very nice..
As you might be able to see in the picture Molly is a bit red in her face. It seems that she has an allergie of some sorts for food. We haven't been able to find what food jet. Paprika is ok with home made food but from jar-food she gets really red in her face. It doesn't hurt of itch or anything it is just a bit red. A couple of days ago we tried a new brand that says they are 100% natural  and she also got the rash on her private area  where it did hurt and itch and she just cried all day when she had to pee. I felt so sorry for her. But now we got a salve and I hope she will be better soon. 

We also had our Treasures from Holland bee on Sunday:
This is a piece of the quilt that anki is making:
Helena showed us her building houses blocks:
So just a wonderfull weekend! I am a bit behind on the things I was surpossed to do because of Molly beeing home from daycare so the could walk around without a diapar.. But she is better now! Just now I am getting sick... But I am hoping to get some things done this weekend as I am having a cleaning weekend...

Wish me Luck!

Pink and Barbara Christmas Party

We had wonderful tim at Villa Vanilla for my Christmas Party. The whole shop was decorated in a christmas theme so the pillow from Soed Idee looked wonderful there. The christmas music was playing and there was a real christmas spirit

There was quite a big group of people..some of them did a lot of christmas and clothes shopping as well at Villa Vanilla :-)

We drank some glögg (red spiced wine) and at some ginger cookies to start with. Tuula made some traditional porridge and ham sandwiches as well:

Maybe you can join us next time. Thank you all who came and Merry Christmas! I am taking a bit of a blogging Holiday since I am preparing things for the syfestival in February which is going to be a first for Pink and Barbara...lots to do!

 

 

Pink and Barbara classes

This week I had 2 classes: the Pink and Barbara Stitchery Club and my Caddy Class.

On Sunday we had the caddy class with 4 ladies that had there first Pink and Barbara Class. This is the wonderfull bags they made:

These ladies are a group of friends that hired me to give a private class and they all knew eachother so well that there was a lot of joking and telling stories.. It was one big laugh from beginning to end!

On a sad note: My computer is still acting up so I hope I will be able to keep blogging. I have been in telephone waiting lines for the past week...I finally got to speak to real person today only to find out that my guarantee expired 3 days ago.... I am so angry. If they had answered the phone when I started ringing I would have had guarantee..enoying or what!?!

I hope you are having a better week!

 

Workshops at Villa Vanilla

Hi Everybody!

I had a wonderfull time today. I am so happy because I have a new place to have my classes. It is called Villa Vanilla here in Surahammar and it is a cafe and decoration store. They have some lovely things there and the cakes are to die for! The other place was a bit boring ...but this is so much better. Here are some pictures!

We had our first Treasures from Holland-bee, from the book by Petra Prins. I never mentioned it here on the blog since the group was allready full before I could.. :-)

I will be having all my classes here in the future...since it was so nice...

Hugs!

Barbara

Pink and Barbara Stitchery Club

 
Hi!

I finished the first stitchery for the Pink and Barbara Stitchery Club and got the lovely fabrics for it. So I thought I would post a small preview.

This is the fist of 3 stitcheries that together make a small wall-quilt.

The club meets 3 times, once a month. Every time we meet you will get one stitchery printed on the fabric and ready to start with plus the fabric-kit to make the quilt-top. After our 3 meetings you will have a sweet wallhanging. It is 3 months and costs 295 kr per month. If you live here that will include a Pink and Barbara Stitchery Club Bee with coffee, tea and snacks that are afternoon tea inspired. I can also post it to you, if you can't join our lovely meetings. It is the same price, and I will send it anywhere in the world.

There are still a few places left.  Email me to join at: [email protected]

Have a wonderfull day!

A bit of everything

This weekend Dorry from Quilt-it and Dotty was here. She teached a class for the weekendbag and for broderi perse at my local quilt-guild. We had so much fun! Above you see my bag. I have to attach more binding and handles.

his is the line-up of all the different bags!

And here is Molly

So molly is now 12 weeks and doing great! She is growing fast and is so sweet. She is still sleeping all nights for 10-12 hours! So I have a good nights sleep and I have some time every morning for quilting and stuff...

My friend had twins some years ago a boy and a girl. She gave me all her clothes. She packed all of it according to size. So we have 2 big bin-bags in the garage and take out the right sizes when we need it. She now has size 62-68. It is so nice not to have to buy things like white normal bodies and pyamas and stuff.. 
So I gave my friend Babette the boy clothes and Molly now has the girl clothes:

I have also been getting fun stuff in the mail. I got a package of Marleen from Belgien and Sharon from Australia! Thank you girls!

That is all for now...see you again soon!
