* sewing and partying *



Jeg sydde en sommerkjole av et herlig linstoff og brukte den for første gang forrige helg... 

til den sorbiske folkefesten i Lusatia i landsbyen Crostwitz. Festivalen varer i fire dager i forskjellige landsbyer... Jeg var der med hele familien på lørdag og søndag...



I sewed this linen summer dress for myself and wore it for the first time at the weekend. We spent Saturday and Sunday in the village of Crostwitz/Germany for the Sorbian folklore festival. It takes place over four days and every two years and folklore groups come from all over the world. It is a great festival with lots of joy and dancing and beautiful encounters.



Our first day on Saturday night


5 farms in the village each had a stage

From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. there were programs of folklore groups from all over the world... Spain, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Congo, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Chile and the groups from Crostwitz and the surrounding villages as well as the Sorbian National Ensemble from Germany.

We enjoyed the evening with dancing and good food in the festively decorated farms.


On Sunday we went to the fairground where the big stage was.


The visitors sat in the shade under the trees ;-)









The festival is wonderful.



I'm already looking forward to the 15th festival in Crostwitz 

from June 26th to 29th, 2025.

Did you have fun... I know you should experience it in the original :-)))

I wish you a great time. Make it nice for yourself and others.

 Lykkelige hilsener rundt omkring

Happy greetings all around



Jeg sydde igjen og er veldig fornøyd med resultatet.

I sewed from my fabric supply and I am very happy with the result.





Jeg liker veldig godt å lage noe og finne ut hvordan jeg best kan få det til...jeg har flere deler på gang :-)))

I really enjoy creating something and figuring out how best to make it happen... I have several pieces in the works :-)))

But nature is calling... Being outside is the best thing to do right now.
























And now it's in the oven - the cherry pie. Today there will be guests for coffee.
