The dress

The dress I made some time ago but did not have a chance to wear it. Now the weather is good, and it is so comfortable for my growing belly. :-)

Polka dot hat

Greta is back from Spain and are posing for the demonstration of her new garments. Here is the polka dot hat.

My new friends

Please meet my new friends. The cherry tree:

 The tomato plant:

And the bell pepper plant:

My friend (and Greta's friend's mother) had too many plants and were so nice to give me one of her tomatoes and peppers. The cherry tree has another story. While I car was at the workshop, I had a rental car, but completely forgot to get a parking licence at work and got a ticket. I wrote a complaining mail, and they forgave me. According to my female logic, I saved the amount of money, so I had to spend the same amount of money on something. Therefore, the cherry tree ))

Peggle people

The other day I found a wonderful site, I felt I would love to make all of the things from there. But then I postponed and postponed, until I got time this week. I made the peggle people and the cardboard animals and vehicles. Greta is coming back home tomorrow, I bet she will like it. The peggle people will also be happy living in a dollhouse Santiago made for her.

I think it is pretty clear I miss her. Every evening I make something for her. I sew, knit, make wooden toys, bought some books. I am excited to see her back home tomorrow.

Polka Dot Hat

Another fast project - a hat for Greta. I even think this time I have the right size. Made with a wonderful Pickles Cashmerino merino/cashmere blend, in colors that Greta will probably love. Looking forward too see her back home soon.

The ongoing knitting projects

My weekend

While Greta and Santiago are in Spain, I decided to went for a hike in the mountain. I felt I needed to connect with nature. The original plan was to go to the top of Hallingskarvet, but the road there was closed. So I needed an alternative plan, and went to another top - with a view to Hardangervidda. You are supposed to see Gaustatoppen from there on a good day (but it was not one of those days).
Driving in the mountain:

The start of the hike. Looking north to Hallingskarvet.

This was my route to Ustetind

It was not much more than 3 km to walk.

The nature is always beautiful everywhere in Norway. There it still looked like spring, while here in Kongsberg it is summer.

Finally at the top. Looking north to Hallingskarvet, again.

But then the clouds came in no time and covered everything. This is looking south to Hardangervidda. The visibility soon was no more than 20 meters ahead, so I went down, while it was snowing a bit.

The way down was much easier for a pregnant lady like me. And the weather got better too.

I had a great walk in the mountain and a beautiful drive home. Did you have a good weekend?
