Christmas decoration

Very limited this year, because we left January 21, but we had to have something when we returned the 29.

Blåtimen

The beautiful light in December

.. never stops fascinating me..

Christmas gone and a new year started

..and as far as blogging is concerned this has not been a good start on my new year! I will come back stronger; - you see, I've been knitting, photos are taken and uploaded, but my husband's been busy on the computer.

One of my excuses for being "lazy" though, has been my absence. We have had Christmas with my in-laws and there's no net in the vicinity.

Enjoy these pictures taken in Oslo and Copenhagen while you wait for something more recent :)

Award fra Lykkelita

Dette var teksten som hørte til og jeg er både sjarmert og ydmyk.

Denne bloggen investerer i og tror på NÆRHET- nærhet i rom, tid og forhold!
Disse bloggerne er usedvanlig sjarmerende og søte, og formålet er å finne og å være venner. De er ikke opptatt av utmerkelser og selvhevdelse. Vårt håp er at når båndene på disse utmerkelser er kuttet, vil enda flere vennskap ha forplantet seg.
Vær vennlig å gi litt ekstra oppmerksomhet til disse! Gi denne utmerkelsen til åtte bloggere, som igjen må velge seg åtte nye. Inkluder denne teksten på utmerkelsen deres. (Skjønner ikke hvorfor teksten blei en hyperkobling til signaturstedet??)

An award to give away

Purpose of the award:
To send love and acknowledgement to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy! Introducing the Wylde Women Award to give to your favorite Wylde Woman blogger. Here are the rules:
1. You can give it to one or one hundred or any number in between -it's up to you. Make sure you link to their site in your post.
2. Link back to this blogsite, Tammy, so she can go visit all these wonderful women. (I'm not sure how to link back).
I'm sure many of you bloggers deserve an award like this, but I choose to give it to
a) Lykkelita because she really brightens my days; commenting and visiting my blog and even "demanding" respons when I've been away for a while.
b) My daughter, I'll link to her, but you won't get access, she's a bit secretive.

c) Elin for being so talented and creative.

Ferdig karius

Med og uten blitz, vanskelig å velge, liker ikke egentlig blitzbilder, men fargene blei for "brune" uten. Skjønner?

More "Karius"

... and I have finished this! I'm very happy about this and will keep it for myself. I'll take a better picture in a while. Now I have to return the pc to my husband; he's working from home. I'll do with the lap top, but it's nearly dead.

Eventually some knitting

A shawl in reddish, the colour of autumn in Kitten Mohair, for my daghter. Actually it's for Christmas, but she knows about it. Very fast knitting, needles size 10. I needed two skeins.
- casted on 5 st
- increased one st in the end of each row, the last but one
- knitted to desired size, easy peasy :)

Oslo

Meeting friends and daughter. We had a great time; chatting, wining, eating and shopping. I've been broke since.

Finally some pics

We had beautiful weather during our flight from Tromsø to Oslo November 14. I've tried to take some pictures to share the light with you, - and you know something, - we still had the sun that day. (The pictures got mixed up, I used Picasa and uploaded seven pictures and only four got through, so I continued uploading in blogger and they ended up large and first!!!! I'm no good at this :( )

I'm ready to meet the challenge

I was given a challenge from Lykkelita some time ago, unfortunately I found this very hard to do, but now is the time :0)

1. I like to travel, have always done; -went to England with two friends from school in 72. Met a lot of nice people from all over world. Made friends with a couple of Portuguese boys.

2. I went to Portugal the next summer; to meet the boys.

3. Started studying at the Northern most university in 74.
4. Married in 76
5. Attended the Teachers' training college between 76 and 79
6. I have had two cats and a dog.
7. England was my favourite country and London my favourite city for many years. Now I travel more and have no specific favourite place. And I visited Portugal again after all these years in 2007, and I met my long lost friends from that time.

Now who to challenge?

• Elin
• Anyone else who happen to read my blog

Men hon strikkar....

Edited, with a picture of our new candle, bought in Copenhagen.

Ingen bilder, mye julegaver, men er ferdig med to sjal i Kitten Mohair og krølleskjerfet, Karius i restegarn av tynn alpakka. Bilda kommer seinere. Får ikke legge inn flere bilda på lap-toppen, den er full!
No sitter jeg ved kjøkkenbordet med rettebunken min, ved sida av meg er et kjempe-adventslys, håndstøpt fra København. Jeg brenner og brenner, men klarer ikke brenne dagens centimeter, begynner å nærme meg 3.desember :0)
Bildet kommer seinere!
