Back- with photos!

We figured out how to upload pictures to DD2's computer-LOL! The camera was pretty full, so here's a random selection of the summer...
As I said, there were three weddings this summer. But we were also invited to a baptismcelebration! Our eminent organplayer got married a couple of years ago, and earlier this spring they got a beautiful babydaughter. The gift from us was a babyblanket, lined with fleece. It is machineembroidery, and simple squares, ,and quilted along each square. Fun to make.
 We haven't had too many nice days, but this is the view about a month ago...

Here's Gann,the ship myDD1 is onboard. She likes it:-)









 Yesterday and Saturday was really beautiful here. We went to look for sheep on Saturday, and saw a few, but they ran off. Yesterday some of the hunters had seen them, and chased them up on the top from the valley they were in, so I hope they stay on the top_LOL! It's still early.
 We got the sheep back home from Selja last weekend, and I had forgotten my camera... This is how it looks close up...
Take care, and have a nice week:-)

Summer just flew by didn't it? The leaves are just starting to change here so I guess fall has come whether we're ready for it or not! LOL

Your quilt is lovely, but your view over the lake, or whatever it is, is amazing at ALL TIMES! I'm sure you must know you are so lucky to have such gorgeous scenery surrounding you.

It seems your Summer is in the early stages yet, and our Summer is over, gone! It has been very chilly this week. It is late morning now, and only 8ºC, to give you some idea.

I did want to ask you again, what is the breed of sheep that you raise. I know they are a very old breed, but I can't remember exactly which breed they are. I'm asking because last weekend I purchased some Icelandic roving for spinning. In discussing Icelandic sheep with the Shephardess, I mentioned where you lived and the kind of sheep you had. She told me that spinning Icelandic wool would be a similar experience to spinning the type of wool that your sheep have. I intend to do a little looking up to see what I can find about them. So if you don't mind, I would love to know which breed it is you have. I already know they are gorgeous creatures. :)

Keep well.

Flott teppe, heldige mottakere! Det er ikke greit når data lager krøll på seg. Jeg har ny pc, mac, og ny blogg! Klarte ikke å holde meg unna bloggeland. Skal prøve å ikke stresse med den. så innleggene kommer nok ikke så ofte.

Yea! It is always fun when you get the computer and camera to do what you want them to do:)
After attending a quilt show this last week, I am even more amazed at the people who share their love with others in the creation of quilts! I am sure your gift will be a blessing to the little one (and her parents)!
Beautiful landscape photos!
Be blessed,
Aimee
