Snø og nytt syprosjekt

Snow and new sewing project

Dette er mitt nye syprosjekt... Jeg vil på en eller annen måte lage den til en frakk - kort frakk. Og jeg må si, det er ikke lett :-)) Men folk liker å lære nye ting!!! Jeg kan fortelle deg mer om det senere. Sidelommene kan sees på bildet. Krysser fingrene for meg, i alle fall alle bloggervenner som er kjent med symaskinen :-) Ja, og neste gang skal jeg sy en enkel veske igjen...så lett å ha på seg... deilig og avslappet :-)

This is my new sewing project... I want to put it together somehow into a coat - short coat. And I have to say, it's not easy :-))) But humans like to learn new things!!! I'll be able to tell you more about it later. The side pockets can be seen in the photo. Keep your fingers crossed for me, at least all blogging friends who are also familiar with the sewing machine :-))) Yes and next time I'll sew a bag again :-)) so easy to wear... nice and cozy :-)

Og alle som kjenner meg vet at jeg liker snø.

And you know - I like snow.

Er det ikke et fantastisk eventyrlandskap?

I love this wonderful fairytale landscape.

 Og litt sol og litt ski er det også.

The sun is not often, but every now and then it is there and so are the skis.

I am happy.

Jeg ønsker deg også lykke.

I wish you a lot of happiness too.

Advent - tiden for de fantastiske julemarkedene

Wonderful time of Christmas markets

 

Det er fantastiske turer i byene – her Dresden – og du kan gå fra julemarked til julemarked.

In the cities - here Dresden/Germany - you can go for wonderful walks and go from Christmas market to Christmas market. I love it.

Tradition - it's the 588th Striezelmarkt

in Middle High German "Striezel"

Schloß Wackerbarth

It is a pleasure to stroll through the markets, such as Wackerbarth Castle... or Königstein in the Saxon Switzerland National Park is heavenly...

Og i går snødde det og jeg kunne pakke ut skiene... Herlig.

And yesterday there was snow and I was able to unpack my skis... the glory.

Alle de beste ønsker til dere alle.

Good wishes to you all.

Hug from Viola

Pepperkakebakeri - Pfefferküchlerei -

Gingerbread Bakery

this is one of the Küchler in town "Max Spitzer"

I den lille byen der jeg bor er det åtte pepperkakebakere – de heter «Küchler» og det er et gammelt håndverk som nå er tilgjengelig igjen som en anerkjent læreplass. Pepperkakebakeriene selger kun pepperkaker eller mandelmakroner hele året :-)) Og hver november er det et stort marked i den lille byen... markedet er fylt med boder som selger de 8 pepperkakebakere/Küchler... og gatene rundt det og smug fulle av andre vakre ting å se og kjøpe. 

See dette selv...

the marketplace is occupied by the stalls of the eight Küchler and full of people just like the city

In the small town where I live, there are eight gingerbread bakers - they are called "Küchler" - it is an old craft that is now available again as a recognized apprenticeship. The gingerbread bakeries - Pfefferküchlerei - only sell gingerbread all year round :-)) And every November there is a big market in our small town... the market is filled with stalls from the 8 gingerbread bakers... and the streets and alleys around the market square are full with dealers full of other nice things to see and buy...

I didn't have to queue... I live there and can always buy gingerbread

there is also a gingerbread museum - left -

I museet kan du dekorere de nybakte pepperkakene.

You can decorate gingerbread yourself in the Gingerbread Museum.

Craftsmen's Market

Do you know cotton candy?

Eggnog "You are welcome to try"

Det er også en del helt vanlige bakere i byen - brød, rundstykker, kaker og tortes - og favorittbakeren min lager alltid "Quarkspitzen" til pepperkakemarkedet... rett og slett deilig :-)) Jeg må ha dem og de kommer bare ut en gang i året.

There are also a number of good bakers in the city - bread, rolls, cakes and tarts - and my favorite baker always makes "quark tips" for the gingerbread market... simply delicious :-)) I have to have them and they only come out once a year .

Ellers er jeg klar for vinteren, det var de første snøfnuggene og en herlig tur i solen...

Otherwise I'm ready for the winter, there were the first snowflakes at the weekend and a nice walk in the sun...

The birds are being fed in the garden and the house is being decorated for Advent this week... baking and cooking is being done and above all... people are looking forward to it... the Advent calm is moving in with candlelight and cozy evenings.

Hugs dear blogger friends from Viola.
