I´ve done it again

I have signed up for two swaps. I am always on the last minute finishing projects so I know that I will have a lot of stress when the deadline nears. But it is worth it.

Since I posted last time I have planted a few flowers in my GFG.



So it has grown a little. It takes so much time to connect these flowers, but I am in no hurry no deadline on this project.

I also did a little doll who has a missing sister somewhere flying around the world, she is a little sad at the moment. I let her hang in a drawer so she can watch me if I sew.



The family reunion was great. The weather turned out pretty good. It is always like a lottery here in Iceland what kind of a weather we will get.

This is where we camped:



And these pictures are on the way from here to there :)

Hi Gudrun!
Your 'flower' garden is gorgeous and growing...I know how much time and work go into making each flower. It is going to be beautiful when completed. Glad the reunion went well!

Love the flowergarden quilt and the pics of another land. I'm in a swap at the moment and have to be careful not to join another one just yet.

I have toyed with the idea of a Grandma's flower garden. I find hexagons quite relaxing to do. I love the photo of the sunset.

Hi Gudrun,
I never tire of seeing photos of your countryside. Your sort of flower garden will never get weeds!

The revolving globe in the bottom left corner of your blog only ever show the northern hemisphere,( what about us she cries ?) and beside it always has Whakatane which is in Eastern BOP ( not Tauranga )in NZ. Is that cause White Island an active volcano and is near to Whakatane? Just wondering.

Mér finnst Grandmother´s flowergarden alltaf fallegt munstur, og róandi að sauma. Ég á einhversstaðar svona lítið teppi, sem ég er ekki búin með, klára það örugglega einhvern tímann. Upplagt til að nota afganga.

Your flower garden is growing nicely and I love your cute dolly. Hope she is not too lonely without her sister. Maybe you will have to make her another one?

Good luck with your flower garden. I just love it. I try to make one myself. And I also finished one a couple of years ago. You can find it in my blog.

Hello Gudrun, The flower garden is really growing and so beautiful. It's always good to have a project with no deadline...then you can really enjoy the process. The area you had your reunion is really beautiful. What fun to join to exchanges also. It is always fun to plan something for someone else and then receive something fun in the mail for yourself too.
