Package to Denmark

I have frantically been working on Christmas presents for the past month or so. Decided that many of my gifts this year should be homemade.  It still seems that Christmas is far away, but when you have the opportunity to get your shipment to friends and family in Denmark without the help of US Postal Services,  I really need to take it. That means that all packages have to be ready to send of in two weeks.  Still a way to go, but here is a little sneak peek at one of the little packages.

 Differs

 And here is

 

 The inner part of the cushion is made of one skein of the fabulous."Knit Collage". This particular one is the "Raindance".

The back and the rim of the cushion is crochet in a 100 % thick merino wool.  It was a lot of fun mocking and a little challenging to get the little sparkle items, that originally was part of  the Saries that this yarn is recycled from. 

Now you can buy it all around the world. I found my first skein in a little fun Art Store in the tiny town of Chester, CT ( normally don't sell yarn, but who could resist this?) and when I needed more for my Christmas presents I just googled "Knit Collage" and many many hits came up. I found a yarn store in my neighboorhood that stocks it. Etsy also has several sellers that sell similar items.

On this first day of October !

We have had brilliant Indian summer here and apparently it is continuing.

I just wanted to share a few pictures.

The one here of one of my favorite houses to admire from the outside. Just because it looks so pretty. The little pumpkins above the door is a nice little fall touch. I prefer a more modern style house, like I am used to from back home, but it doesn't change the fact that there is something very cozy about a house like this.  Stayed tuned for when they decorate for Christmas. It is out of a fairytale.

 

And then I couldn't pass this beautiful flower without taking a picture of it. 

 Happy  1st. of October.

 

I really want to do this!

I have decided, that I really want to try and learn how to blog. I get so much inspiration out of the blogs that I visit frequently, that I would like to contribute as well. This post is primarily to try out different aspects of adding to my blog,  as I am self taught in this business.

Please bear with my as I try to master this new tool :)

 

 

Today is a fantastic day.

At 9.14 am this morning I finished my last radiation treatment in a row of 33! I have the doctors words for,that I now, after 31/2 months of mammograms, doctors visits, biopsy's, surgery and finally the radiation, that I am cured. I know that in other countries they never tell you, that you are cured, but my surgeon here did and I have decided, that I might as well believe in that.  What have I to lose?
So today is the first day of the rest of my life and I am very happy.

My favorite summer flower.

Why am I telling you this?  My daughter said a couple of weeks back, "Mom why don't you share some of all your "ups and downs" in relation to all the things you have experienced in your life?"  We discussed that a little and I decided, that maybe I did have something to say about living in different countries, getting to know people and their culture, experience from a health system very different to the one i originally come from, emotions that come along when you read in an e-mail from well meaning officials that you now have a very serious condition...... and then off course my creative adventures, that is very very close to my heart.

So in the year, where I stepped into a new and scary decade. Am now past the first half century! And with a new spring in my step as I and we, as my whole family and good friends helped me through this not very exciting period of my life, I will try to send my little comments out in blog land from time to time. How often? I am not really sure. We will see.
