Yesterday I got an exciting package in the mail. It came from Pam in California. She has made the candle mat for me in the Candle Mat Swap. I wanted fall colors and she really has chosen colors just for my taste. It's beautiful quilted and decorated with cute fall leaves buttons! On the back there is a label with info about who made it. Thanks Pam! It is gorgeous, I was very happy to get it. It is just perfect for me. And look at the beautiful card .
Men pakken inneholdt ikke bare brikken, den var full av overraskelser! Hun hadde også laget en nydelig nålepute med stoffkantene hvor det står navnet på stoffene, så morsom ide!
But the package did not only have the candle mat, it was full of surprises. She had also made a pincushion where she used the salvage edges from the fabric, how nice!
Hun hadde også laget en liten mappe med klemmelås av rester av stoffene. Jeg har tenkt på at jeg skulle lage meg en slik liten mappe som passet til å ha i den brune høstveska mi, og nå fikk jeg en! Og denne var jo finere enn jeg ville ha laget, for jeg hadde ikke noen slik klemmelås. Den vil allerede bli tatt i bruk imorgen når jeg skal på tur til Løiten Lys med Strikkekafee'n/ Bygdekvinnelaget.
She has also made a little Snappy bag from the leftovers of the fabric. I have been thinking about making a little bag to fit into my brown fall bag, and now I got one! And this was even better than I would have made because I didn't have this "snap". It will already be in my bag tomorrow when I go on a trip with the Knitting Cafe'/ The Norwegian Society of Rural Women.
Pam har nok lest bloggen min godt og lagt merke til min kjærlighet til strikking, hun har sendt meg et par av de morsomste strikkepinner jeg har sett!
Se på dem :)
Så tusen, tusen takk, Pam!
Thank you so much, Pam! Or as we say in Norwegian, Thousand thanks!

SvarSlettSå flott gave du har fått! Kjempeflink dame som har laget så mye fint! Strikkepinnene var virkelig morsomme! Der var du skikkelig heldig! Tusen takk for koselig hilsen! Ja, hvorfor skal en skifte gardiner når en liker de en har...
SvarSlettØnsker deg en fin helg! -Margit-
How very, very pretty! What a wonderful candle mat. I think I would put a small plate under it, too, to be sure no wax could possibly drip on that pretty mat.
SvarSlettAnd, yesterday I put your crochet prizes in the mail to you from my crochet give-away. I think it is pretty nice that the yarn for the scarf has made a round trip from Norway to Norway.
Very best,
Lois
