I signed up for the "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1533394@N22/">Scrappy Mug Rug Swap</a>" on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</a> earlier this summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been following the group for a long time, but this was the first time I signed up for the swap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ruthiequilts.wordpress.com/">Ruth</a> made me this
amazing mug rug in my favorite colors. She used fabrics I love (look at
that text fabric for the background) and added so many sweet details
(embroidery, rick rack etc). I can't imagine placing a mug on this, I will have it on my wall for everyone to see instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ruth also made this tiny, cute pincushion. I can't belive how small the pieces are in this paper pieced block. It is so lovely.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is! My whole package. Ruth sent me some color catchers (not sold in Norway - too bad) and cute green rick rack. I am so lucky to have this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to my sweet swap partner Ruth:-)</div>

I fixed the photo uploading problem! It turned out I had to change my browser. I don't know why I didn't think of that, but I'm not exactly a computer expert... Thank you <a href="http://kalandjaimatuvel.blogspot.no/">Timi</a>, for your suggestion!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to make a quilt for my SIL's 60 year birthday, and she loves romantic stuff...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had all these floral fabrics for a long time, but I never use them. So this was the perfect opportunity to use some stash fabrics!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

I made it very simple, with 16-patches in floral fabrics and Moda Bella Snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these romantic flowers, but I kind of forget to sew with them. Because I also love the modern fabrics, I usually end up sewing with those.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was a lot of fun to sew, and it went incredibly fast.</div>

I know that it's a no-no in the quilting world, but I backed this in fleece. It saves me some work, as I don't have to put a layer of batting between the top and the back. I love the softness of the fleece as well, and it's easy to sew with.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The quilting is just a simple grid through all the Bella Snow squares.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No borders on this one, and a pretty, pink reproduction floral fabric for the binding.</div>

I am leaving for a few days in Denmark tomorrow, visiting relatives together with my mom and brother. I'm coming back Sunday, and I start working Monday. My vacation went too fast! Four weeks just flew by like a hurricane. I didn't sew as much as I had in mind, but I can sew whenever I have some spare minutes:-)</div>

This bag was made by me, and designed by me:-) I made it up as I was sewing, and it was so much fun! I might even try to write a pattern for something like this, allthough I have no idea how to do that. Do you think anyone would be interested in that?</div>

So, at last there is this baby quilt that I made for a little relative we are visiting in Sweden soon. I had a blast sewing this, and I was able to use a lot of scrappy pieces I got from Melanie. I love fabric scraps, they add so much life to any project.</div>

I hope our new little relative and her mom and dad will like the quilt:-)</div>

I enjoy the process of creating something from scratch so much, and this was no ecception.</div>

For July we were going to make a needlebook for our swap partner. I always wanted to make one, so I started at the moment we got the mail about who our partner was.</div>
<div align="center">
I had mostly free hands on this one, because my swap partner was very open about her likings.</div>

I'm really enjoying making crochet edges, so you will probably see a lot of that from me in the future.</div>

<div align="center">
Details about this needlebook:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
-Made by me, no particular pattern, but with lots of inspiration from other bloggers and Flickr users.</div>
<div align="center">
-Appliqued leaves, ticker tape style.</div>
<div align="center">
-Linen and cotton fabrics, with felt for the "pages".</div>
<div align="center">
-Crochet edging in teal cotton yarn.</div>
<div align="center">
-Closure with wooden beads in the ends.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
My swap partner in The Netherlands got her needlebook, and I'm so happy she liked it!</div>

<div align="center">
Now I'm stalking the postman to see if my needlebook will be arriving soon:-)</div>

I am a swap maniac, and when I got invited to join a pillow swap on Flickr, I said yes at once.</div>
<div align="center">
This swap is a little different, because you make a pillow with no particular person in mind, take a photo of it and send it to the swap administrator.</div>
<div align="center">
She will then post the photo of the pillow in the Flickr group, and when the swap deadline has passed, everyone who sent in a photo will vote for the pillows.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
That was sooo much fun!</div>
<div align="center">
I have not yet received my pillow, but I know it will be great, because I had a hard time voting. All the entries to the swap was gorgeous!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I made a New York Beauty block, and it turned out pretty well as a pillow.</div>
<div align="center">
It has envelope closure at the back. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Here it is!</div>

<div align="center">
Now for the other beauty...</div>
<div align="center">
I love roses!</div>
<div align="center">
The real roses are the most pretty ones, but I like roses in all forms.</div>
<div align="center">
When I found a free paper piecing pattern for one on the internet, I just had to give it a try.</div>
<div align="center">
It was a lot of fun to sew this, many itty bitty pieces, but thats the beauty about paper piecing, it gets accurate no matter how small the pieces are.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I embroidered some details around the stem of the rose, and finished it with some simple quilting and a crochet border.</div>
<div align="center">

I'm having a blast at my sewing room these days, I'm feeling so creative! New ideas for things to make pop up in my head all the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started my summer vacation today, so I have four weeks to do what I wish, and that would be sewing:-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are going on a couple of trips as well, but I think my sewing machine will come with me on at least one of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow, another blog post from me already!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to show you some of the things that came in my mail for the last month or so...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm swapping a lot, so it's very exciting to wait for the mail every day:-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The RATZ swap is going on once a month, and I have been lucky to have great swap partners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The june swap was for magnets, and when I got mine, I was so excited! They are very pretty, and so "me". Take a look!</div>

I'm really sorry it's taking me so long to write these blogposts, it seems blogging is just not prioritized when it's summer. Not that this summer has been the greatest, it's just rain, rain, rain... But it gives me a lot of time to sew!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Soooo.... Let's see if I can pick up the thread where I left you.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
My birthday is in june, and I usually have a little party with my closest family and friends. </div>
<div align="center">
I made a cake for my birthday this year, and a couple of people have been asking me on Flickr for the recipe.</div>
<div align="center">
That's a little hard to give you, since there is no specific recipe for the cake, but I'll try!</div>
<div align="center">
But first, a photo of it:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
I make a regular sponge cake:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
(I write it down in metric measurements, and try to convert it to US measurements)<br />
You will need a round pan that is about 26 centimeteres (10-11 inches) in diameter.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
6 eggs</div>
<div align="center">
2 desiliter white sugar</div>
<div align="center">
2 desiliter all purpose flour</div>
<div align="center">
1 desiliter potato flour</div>
<div align="center">
2 teaspoons baking powder.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
US:</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
6 eggs</div>
<div align="center">
0.85 cup white sugar</div>
<div align="center">
0.85 cup all purpose flour</div>
<div align="center">
0.42 cup potato flour<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder.<br />
<br />
Whip the sugar and eggs until it's stiff and forms peaks in the bowl.<br />
Sift flour, potato flour and baking powder, and carefully mix it with the eggs/sugar until it's blended.<br />
Grease and flour your pan and pour in the batter.<br />
bake at 160 degrees celcius (320 fahrenheit) for about 40 minutes (you will have to check the cake with a toothpick to see if its done).<br />
Cool completely.<br />
<br />
Decorating:<br />
<br />
You will need marzipan for this! I buy mine and roll it out myself.<br />
So...<br />
First you split the cake in half and moisten it with milk or juice. Then fill it with what you like, I usually go with razberry jam and vanilla cream. This one however, I filled with chocolate mousse and sliced banana!<br />
Cover the cake with a thin layer of whipped cream.<br />
<br />
Make 2 paper circles that are about 4 inches smaller in diameter than the cake. Center one of the circles on the cake. <br />
put the mazipan on top of the cake and the paper circle<br />
( A little advice on rolling marzipan: Use flour and make sure the marzipan does not stick to the surface of your table. You can easily brush the flour off the marzipan when you are done).<br />
Take the other piece of paper and center it on top of the marzipan. Mark around it with the dull end of a knife (dont cut through the marzipan!!!). Remove the paper, and cut like you do when you cut a pizza. Roll out the "slices" of marzipan to the edge of the circle.<br />
Remove the paper circle that was underneath the marzipan.<br />
Put on whatever berries you like. Strawberries, razberries, blueberries etc...<br />
Just before serving, sift confectioners sugar on top of the berries.<br />
This is very yummy, and for those of you that don't usually get marzipan cake, you should really try it! It tastes really good. But if you are allergic to almonds, please don't try this.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I'll try to make another blogpost sooner this time:-)</div>

When I made the napkins for Table Top Swap 1, Nanette contacted me and asked if we could have a sideswap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I said yes right away, because I have been following her photostream in Flickr for a long time, and I admire everything she makes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made her these napkins, kind of the same style as the other ones I made, but still very different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She got them yesterday, so now I can show them to you:-)</div>

This was my first ever paper pieced project, and I am very happy with the end result, It was much easier to paper piece than I thought it would be.</div>

This was an open swap, so the person i sent to, also sent to me.</div>

I had a very busy weekend, with lots of things happening. Good tings!</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I kept the quilting very simple, just straight lines on the diagonal.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The top of this quilt was made a couple of years ago, and then it got stuck in the pile of UFO's.</div>
<div align="center">
But I needed a gift for a family member this weekend, so it finally got finished!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Here are the recipient with his lap quilt, I think he likes it...</div>

I also went to plant in Hennings garden this week, and I'm so happy with the result. I think it's pretty!</div>
<div align="center">
Nice roses and lots of candles and some cute little figures...</div>
<div align="center">

<br />
<div align="center">
I have setteled with the fact that Henning is not with us, so I try to keep his garden as nice as I can. We go there very often to light candles and keep it pretty.</div>
<div align="center">
If you look closely, you can see the little propeller bird and the elf I put there, I love them:-) They are cheerful, and I need to have something happy in this little garden.</div>
<div align="center">
Henning will never be forgotten, and we are happy we had him, even if we could not have him with us. I know that some day, we will meet him again.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
At last, I'll leave you with a nice little kitty picture, this is my aunt's Maine Coon, Lusi.</div>
<div align="center">
Such a beautiful cat, with lots of personality.</div>
<div align="center">
I hope your week will be good!</div>

Today was a great mail day:-)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I have been swapping some fabric squares with <a href="http://lethargiclass.blogspot.com/">Katy</a>, I "met" her when I was her swap partner in the "<a href="http://synnoveslappeverden.blogspot.com/2011/07/time-for-some-swapping.html">Pretty Little Pouch Swap 2</a>" on Flickr.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She is a very talented lady, and also very sweet and generous! </div>
<div align="center">
This all started when I commented on her granny squares on Flickr, saying that I adore her fabrics.</div>
<div align="center">
She suggested we swapped some squares, and so we did! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I got the most wonderful fabrics from her, and we have been swapping a couple of times.</div>
<div align="center">
Last time, I sent some squares and a piece of fabric that she was searching for, and in return I got some color catchers, that was very much needed:-)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She also said that she wanted to send me something more, and today I got a wonderful surprise:-)</div>

I knitted another pair of socks, I never imagined that I would think knitting was so much fun.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
These are knitted in a yarn called <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/gjestal-jade">Jade</a>, from Gjestal.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
It's a lovely yarn to work with, a wool alpaca blend, very soft and warm. The alpaca makes it strong too, not a bad thing for socks:-)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=5134&lang=us">pattern</a> for the socks are from <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/kategori_oversikt.php">Garnstudio</a>. I love a free pattern, and on Garnstudio there are a lot of them! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I used the Norwegian version of the pattern, but I linked to the American version in this blogpost.</div>

New socks for my hubby.</div>

<div align="center">
I started another pair of socks, I'm close to finished with the first. I think I'l make some pairs, and save them for Christmas.</div>

I signed up for a swap on Flickr, arranged by <a href="http://duringquiettime.blogspot.com/">Amy</a>!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I love the swaps on Flicr, there are so many creative people in the groups, and the swap items are beautiful! I'm always nervous about the things I make, if they will be in my swap partners taste...</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
It's always exciting to see how my swap partner reacts to the things I send, and it's so great to receive a wonderful package in the mail!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
For the table top swap I made four napkins in linen and cotton, with crochet edges.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Y48HtsrKQMSa1GC2if-h0L2IbdnSPcpH_QuQgVphyI1VT3et3mT257P2WVN9xLB8AZyWwK3Nq7knCf68ktK30ZNiUKbTIEjpY7Zd8CC99wzeNnHFnkWqDnbgB2SMSSc85JEY2M6wIZU/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Y48HtsrKQMSa1GC2if-h0L2IbdnSPcpH_QuQgVphyI1VT3et3mT257P2WVN9xLB8AZyWwK3Nq7knCf68ktK30ZNiUKbTIEjpY7Zd8CC99wzeNnHFnkWqDnbgB2SMSSc85JEY2M6wIZU/s320/007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I embroidered the same pattern on all four napkins, but in different colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The edges was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.</div>

At last, a photo of my little helper # 2, he just got his summer hair cut.</div>
<div align="center">
He looks sooo funny, but he loves it when all that awful fur is gone.</div>

I have to cut his hair about once or twice a year, because he does not like to be brushed.</div>

I completely forgot to blog about this little extra pouch I made for the swap!</div>
<div align="center">
It's a flex frame coin pouch, made from the scraps after sewing the main pouch.</div>
<div align="center">
I love this little extra, and this is the first time I sew a flex frame. It turned out quite well, so I see more of these in my near future:-)</div>
