Juletanker / thinking of Christmas
I'm so ready for Christmas! Maybe it's because of the snow that fell today, but I'm not really sure. I have been in a christmasmood for a long time now. The first presents was bought in January..! I had decided to find stuff through the whole year because I wouldn't be broke in December, and I would have better chanse at finding something on sale. And maybe I would find something that screames "mum!" or "dad!" And I did all those things. :) This leaves me with a small list of Christmaspresents that I'm going to buy this weekend. I'm going to London!!! I can't wait.. :D Tomorrow we're leaving Lillehammer for a weekend in London. Great. :D I'm imagening all the cheap yarn they probably have over there (at least cheaper than here..?), and the clothes, and the body lotion. Hehe. I'm looking forward to it! I'm traveling with my boyfriend, my boyfriends best friend and his girlfriend. :)
Here's my latest crochetwork. Fast, easy and cute Christmas stockings!! Link here.
Bittesmå julestrømper! Genialt og enkelt mønster finner du her.
Denne er enda søtere, mindre og mer nett. :)
Pyntesløyfe. :)

Amigurumimoro! / Amigurumifun!
Jeg har laget litt dyr og sånn i det siste.. Har ikke ork til å begynne med noe stort prosjekt, syns det er deilig å få ting ferdig på en kveld nå for tida. :) Den første jeg skal vise fram er en rosa elefant jeg laget til ei venninne på jobben. Hun vil lære seg å hekle, og jeg skal gjøre så godt jeg kan for å lære henne. ;) Jeg må si, det vanskeligste med å få til sånne amigurumier er å få bein og armer jevnt..! Og ansiktene.. Usj! Men moro er det. ;)
I'm in the mood for amigurumi. I love making them! They are quick, they usually turn out cute and I get to use left-over-yarn. I have promised myself not to buy any yarn before I go to London in a couple of weeks. ;)
I have made a few amigurumies lately.. First to show off is a cute pink elephant with braids! I must say, the difficult thing about making stuffed animals is to get the legs and arms kind of in the same "line". But I think it went okay.. I made this elephant for a coworker and friend, she wants to learn how to crochet, so she can make an elephant too. ;)
I found this great pattern here, it's free. :) <--link til gratis mønster
Et nærbilde av flettene til elefanten. Syns hun var litt tom på midten av hodet, så fletta sammen litt garn. Syns det gjorde henne feminin og fin.
A close-up of her braids. I thought the elephant was a little empty on the top of it's head, so I just braided some yarn for this one. Girly elephant.
Og nå har jeg jo endelig funnet et sted som jeg kan gi de amigurumiene jeg lager til! Barnehagen jeg jobber i selvsagt! Vi bruker dem i samlingsstund, sånn at vi trekker opp en ting, og synger på den.. Tør ikke la ungene leke med dem, har ikke brukt sånne øyne som tåler å bli lekt med, så.. :) Det funker uansett veldig fint sånn at vi trekker et dyr, og synger om det. :)
Jeg kan bare hekle i vei, for det finnes jo utrolig mange sanger som er fine.. Jeg hekla et lite spøkelse i dag, for jeg syns den derre "oppe på loftet der bor det tre spøkelser..."-sangen er så fin. :)
I have finally found some place to give my amigurumies to! The kindergarden I work in..! We use them when we're singing, I don't want the kids to play with them, I haven't used saftey eyes for all of my amigurumies.. But I think the whole pick-a-thing-and-sing-about-it works really well. And now I can crochet knowing it will be used. ;)
Here's a little ghost for a song... I made this really fast actually, but it's cute anyway. ;)
Jeg lagde også en frosk. Til den derre "M-Æ sa en liten grønn frosk en dag..". Link til oppskrifta lenger ned. Jeg forandra littegran på armer og bein, og gjorde den mindre (er jo restegarn jeg holder på med). Syns uansett aldri jeg får til like søte ting som de som er i oppskriftene, så like greit å forandre litt. ;)
Here's the pattern I used for this frog.. Also for a song. I did change the pattern a little bit, made it smaller and changed the arms and legs. I think these arms and legs are skinny, but it would have been even thinner if I had done as the pattern asked for. :)
Snart helg, heldigvis! Dette har vært en slitsom uke.. Det blir ingen rolig helg hvor ingenting skjer heller, men har bare planer jeg gleder meg til. :) I morgen skal vi møtes igjen alle som jobba sammen i fjor, og på lørdag skal jeg på fest. Men jeg skal nok få slappa av, kjenner jeg meg selv rett. ;)
One more day at work before weekend! This week had been a little buisy, so I'm looking forward to it.. I have plans for the weekend, one "reunion" with my coworkers from last year, and a party at Saturday.. But I'm looking forward to it, and I'll get my relaxing time, I'm sure. ;)

Bear/beer cozy / Ølbamse
We're having a party at work next friday. We got an invitation, and it said that we should bring "a little present with a "questionable" item". I really didn't know what I was going to buy, but then I thought of some of the beercozyes I have seen on my forums lately. And then this beerbear was born:
Han er virkelig ikke pen, men jeg håper i det minste vi kan le litt av han. Også blir vel den som får den glad for ølen uansett! ;)
It's not pretty in any way, but I hope we'll get a laugh about it. And I hope the reciever will be happy for the beer inside anyway. ;)
Nå er det sengetid her... Litt trist, for jeg er jo så glad i helger, så skulle ønske de var mye lenger..!
Now it's bedtime for me.. Sadly. ;p I love weekends, I wish they were SO much longer!!

Sånn ellers har jeg hatt en virkelig god dag i dag.. Jeg våknet ganske tidlig, og fikk dermed mye søndag! Jeg har bestilt bilder til framkalling og rydda i bildene mine både på harddisken og på den eksterne harddisken. Nå har jeg akkurat tørka støv med grønnsåpe, også har jeg sett film og hekla litt. Arild kommer hjem fra jobb om litt over en time, da skal jeg gratulere han med ferie..! To uker med ferie skal han ha, så tror han gleder seg litt til det.
In english, please!
Okay, I have been a good girl today! I have sorted out my yarn, and made a list of all the yarns I have. It was a lot! I can't buy any more now, I have to use what I have... Yeah... Unless there is a really cheap sale offcourse. ;) I have had a really nice Sunday today. I woke up pretty early, and I have ordered pictures from my summer and stuff. I also sorted my pictures on the computer. :) I have watched a film ("The truth about cats and dogs", perfect Sunday-entertainment for me..), crocheted a little and relaxed. I'm just done with dusting the appartment. I'm not very good at cleaning these days, so I guess I'll have to do some more before Arild comes home. In about an hour he has vacation from work! Lucky thing. :)
I put in a picture of a hat I finished yesterday. For my sister, again. :) She wanted it to be really simple, and I think it is.
