Quilteklubben på besøk hos Creoline. Lisbeth og Nina hadde åpnet sin lille skjønne butikk for oss i quilteklubben og vi var ca 23 medlemmer der og koste oss.
De selger stoffer til 75 kroner meteren og quilteutstyr til ca 50%.
Damene koste seg masse med god handel og prat. Etterpå samlet vi oss på på verandaen til Lisbeth og vi grillet pølser og koste oss med vaffler som Lisbeth hadde stekt til oss.



Litt av alle bitene som Creoline selger for 20,- kroner stk.

To my english readers. My Clubguild has a new blogg and this is just a little information . Please visit, but the writing will be in norwegian......

Bakermester Harepus/ a baking day!

I dag har jeg hatt bakedag og forberedt konfirmasjon til Tonje som skal være neste helg. Man tager 4 kg mel og noen timer etterpå så er horn og fletteloff ferdig:
Det gikk egentlig veldig greit. Utfordringen nå blir å få gjemt mest mulig i frysa før resten av familien har spist opp baksten, he he..

Her kommer oppskriften:
1 kg hvetemel
150gr smør
75gr sukker
1tsj kardemomme
7,5 dl melk
1,5 pk gjær

Hev deigen i ca 30 min og bak ut horn evt fletteloff. Så må de heves i ca 30 min igjen. Ovnen må settes på 225 grader . Horn stekes i ca 12 min og fletteloffen i ca 15 min.
Lykke til!!

Today has been a big baking day and it is part of my preparing for my youngest daughter's confirmation next weekend.You take 4 kg of all purpose flour and some time later you will have white bread and "buns" ready.
I hope to save some of it in my freezer before my daughters comes home from school. Otherwiese I guess they will eat most of it, he he.
I will try to give you the recipe in english thought I do not know the measures in Oz sorry.

A little bit more then 2 pounds of all purpose flour.
150gr butter
75gr sugar
1 tea spoon of cardamom
7,5 dl milk
1,5 pk of yeast
Put everything dry in a big bowl and melt the butter down and the milk goes in with it , let it warm til about 39 degrees. Put everything together and let settle for about 30min.
Make the "buns" and White bread and let settle again for 30 min.
Set your own to 225 degrees .
The "buns" need about 12min in the own and the white bread about 15 min.

I hope you english speaking people will excuse my bad english writing, I did try though.Good luck!!

At last I have finished Tonje's quilt. It has been a journey of 7 mounths and it has been lot of fun and my youngest daughter Tonje has been a bit impatient but now she is very happy.I have sendt it to QUILTEN in Arendal so they could help me with the quilting. They did a realy great job and I very satisfied with the outcome. ( Please see the closeup down under)

Jeg fikk utført quiltinga hos QUILTEN i Arendal. De har gjordt en fantastisk jobb og jeg er veldig fornøyd med resultatet. ( Dere kan se nærbilde litt lenger ned)

Stay tuned I will soon have another finish on Marits quilt!!

Portugal

I have been 1 week on vacation in Portugal/ Algarve/ Monte Gordo togehter with my youngest daughter. We had a very nice week and was enjoying 28 degrees for a hole week and lots of sunshine every day.
Monte Gordo are a sweet little town 3 km away from the Spanish boarder. The beach goes on forever and there were lots of places to eat.
It was to hot for any exercise so a place in the sun or shaddow was great. Our hotel was Ok but there were not any luxery though. Nice staff and and the pool area was great. We did not complain!!
We had a day in Lisboa. It took about 3,5 ours drive to get there so we had to be up at 4 30. The capital was beautiful and my daughter enjoyed the shopping. I did not like those who was begging, I did find it quite uncomfortable!!
But for sure I will be back one day!



The view from my hotel room.

Jeg har hatt 1 deilig uke i Portugal/ Algarve/ Monte Gordo sammen med min yngste datter.Det var 28 grader og masse solskinn alle dageene. Monte Gordo er en skjønn liten by som ligger kun 3 km fra Spanske grensa.Stranda er så lang at du ikke ser slutten på den og det var mange koselige steder å spise.
Det var for varmt å trene så vi holdt oss mest i skyggen og så litt i sola da..
Hotellet vårt var koselig, spesielt området rundt svømmebassenget , men det var ikke noe luksus. Betjeningen var koselig og det var det viktigste.
Vi tok en dagstur til Lisboa . Det tar ca 3,5 timer en vei så vi var oppe halvfemtia på morran. Lisboa er en fantastisk by og dattera mi synes det var gøy med litt shoppingmuligheter. Når vi satt oss ned på en fortaus restaurang var tiggerane der med en gang og det synes jeg var ekkelt. Spesielt når de begynner å knele...
En ting er helt sikker jeg kommer gjerne tilbake til Lisboa og Portugal.
