Children, pillows.....

Sorry ladies, I know I haven't been blogging much lately! But there has been to much to do, and to much to think of on the home front. Our 18 year old son called and wanted to move home. He dropped out of school last week, said he needed a break until next fall, so......
We picked him up last week-end at school, and moved him home. It has taken a few days to get him settled. Had to do a "serial moving" of rooms on the first floor before he could move in! Almost done!
That's why I don't have anything new to show you today. What I want to show you, is two pillows I made last fall. The first one is made of pink and brown fabrics. I was inspired by a wallquilt my friend Rannveig, made! You see a little glimpse of the quilt above the pillow. The pillow isn't big, only 25cm x 50cm. This is the same pillow, made in different colours, red, beige and black! I made this one for christmas. Yes, I know, this is not christmas colours, but I decorate my kitchen, eating and tv- room(it is one open, big room) in these colours, and it blends in perfectly!
The dark brown and the black fabric used in these pillows, are like fake suede leather. It makes a special touch!

Finally I will give you a few words I got in september, sailing with "Hurtigruta". They goes like this:

Courage is not allways a roar,
sometimes it is the quiet voice
at the end of the day, that say:

I will try again tomorrow.....
