Frosten skal visstnok komme neste uke

Frost is supposed to come next week 

...jeg nå den vakre høstnaturen så ofte jeg kan

The cows are still in the pasture,

the horses too 

and bees are still collecting

What a wonderful time.

Under turen i dag passerte jeg dette naturmonumentet... det er skorsteinen til en liten fabrikk som laget murstein.

During my walk I passed this natural monument... it is the chimney of a small factory that made bricks... built in 1874.

Å ja, jeg skal bake eplepai og jeg skal bli opptatt med den nye boken min...     "Urban Sketching" er 144 sider med innsikt i historiefortelling med penn og farger...

Oh yeah, I'll be making apple pie and getting busy with my new book...

144 pages of "Urban Sketching"... draw shapes and lines - Urban Sketching has become an international movement with groups and events almost all over the world. Whether alone or in a group... draw your surroundings... this is an instruction book for it... for the first steps, so to speak, but even a practiced draftsman can find one or the other trick here, such as tips on the material, especially the Watercolor techniques... Topics such as perspective, simplification, design... telling a story through sketches.

That sounds interesting Mrs. Antje Linker-Wenzel, I will work through her book :-)))

og det viktigste... liv opp livet ditt med farger

I bring color into my life :-)))

... når kulden kommer med snøen og blomstersesongen er over ... da er det tid for penner og maling, fargerike stoffer, garn i alle farger, kanskje leire, modellleire eller farget papir :-)))

... when the cold comes and the flower season is over ... then it's time for pens and paints, for brightly colored fabrics, yarn and wool of all colors, maybe clay, modeling clay or colored paper :-)))

Wonderful... Hug.

I wish you a happy time.

 Gå til symaskinen & Ut i naturen 

Enjoying the sewing machine & having fun in nature

Doing both is wonderful.

Dette er også et fint mønster fra mitt valgte siste stoff på stoffmarkedet.

This is one of the fabrics from my last visit to the huge market with fabric and co.

I decided on a dress and thought to myself, when the cool season is around the corner... then I'll sew on a big collar...

Yes... fint sånn... nice like that.

We are having such a wonderful fall this year with warmth, sun and colour...yes...out into nature...must do.

The ice bar sold until the last day in October... and then from April, at the latest by Easter, ice cream will be available again. My hit "hot meets cold" - milk ice cream with a nice hot espresso... delicious.

Sesongens siste is i den lille isbaren ved siden av.

God helg til dere alle.

All the best to you... near and far ...

the dahlias in the garden are blooming so beautifully

...and the roses too

For en helg... syprosjekt gjennomført, internasjonal salgsmesse for brukskunst og design - dvs. smykker, keramikk, mote etc. - idrettskonkurranse for barnebarna... og fint høstvær, inkludert matlaging.

Da er det tid for mitt syprosjekt.

What a week... sewing project completed, international sales fair for applied arts and design - i.e. jewellery, ceramics, fashion etc. - sports competition for the grandchildren... and beautiful autumn weather, including cooking and baking.

Then it's time to show my sewing project... fine cotton jersey, which I bought, among other things, at the fabric market last weekend...

Er ikke dette vakre mønstre og fantastiske farger?

Jeg liker det og bestemte meg for å sy en langermet t-skjorte.

From the jersey fabric I sewed a t-shirt with long sleeves and a small edge of linen fabric at the end. I like the sleeves wide and long. I closed the collar with a wide waistband... the right T-shirt for autumn.

Den er herlig å ha på seg... Jeg er veldig fornøyd og har allerede neste del i tankene :-))

It's wonderful to wear... I'm happy and already have the next piece in mind :-))

Jeg bakte med epler og plommer til helgen - deilig :-)))

I baked with apples and plums - delicious :-)

I wish you all a wonderful week.

høstmarked - autumn market 

Fordi det pågår bygging på hovedtorget, ble markedet satt opp i en park for én dag... vel, det var ingen kafeer rundt som det er i byen... men høststemningen var deilig. Det var over 100 stands med alt som kan brukes til sying og selvfølgelig stoffer - stoffer - stoffer i alle farger og strukturer. 

Because there is construction going on in the main square, the market was set up in a park for a day... well, there weren't any cafes like in the city... but the autumn vibes were fantastic. There were over 100 stands with everything that can be used for sewing and of course fabrics - fabrics - fabrics in all colors and structures.

...sett opp i U-form og i en rad med to, slik at du kunne se til venstre og høyre.

Hvor lenge tror du jeg holdt ut???

...set up in a U-shape and in a row of two, so you can see left and right

   How long do you think I lasted - and remember, the bag is getting heavier? 

Å ja, flott :-))) 

Dessverre så jeg bare en... men jeg hadde piknik med meg. 

Stor slange! Mennene sto, kvinnene kjøpte... 

mannen min var hjemme. Ja, jeg trengte ham virkelig... her!

Great coffee... but there was a huge queue :-(  The men were queuing for the coffee and the women were buying fabrics e.c.

My husband was at home...I really needed him here!!!

((For å være rettferdig var det også noen menn blant kundene og selgerne nesten utelukkende menn fra vakre Holland ... markedet kalles 'Holland Fabric Market'. Det er en flott atmosfære ... alltid.))

((To be fair there were also some men among the customers and the vendors almost exclusively men from beautiful Holland... the market is called 'Holland Fabric Market'. It's a great atmosphere...always.))

Og nå løp til symaskinen, selv broderiet må vente nå.

De første resultatene vil foreligge snart - jeg lover!

Jeg glemmer selvfølgelig ikke høsten – det er bare herligheten utenfor. 

Nyt høstens farger.

And now for the sewing machine.

The first results will be available shortly - promised!

Of course I don't forget autumn - it's just the beauty outside. Enjoy the fall colors.

Hug of Viola
