I have more energy after approxy 6pm mostly and therefor I’ll start with my projects later in a Day. For the last day’s I’ve started on “finding the right pattern”. You who sew probobly understand what I mean. For the rest of you, when you buy an old pattern you get a sheet of all the different parts in one sheet and then the challenge is to find all the parts. You’ll see in the end of this blog what I mean.
The first pattern here is; Linen pants in sand color.
Linen patns, my leg lenght (91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch).
I measuredd my waist, cut a 10cm wide waist, fold it and sewed it and then I thought how cool it would be to sew a more fancy fabric on the inside. Both for fun and for comfty.
Fancy fabric on the inside of the waist.
I thought the same thing for the pockets.
The same fancy fabric on the inside of the pockets.
So I will sew pants in linen in my lenght 🤩. My legs are tall, cause I am 6″2’1 or 189cm. (My torso is quite tall to for my hight, which will be interesting when I start to sew more fitable dresses ^^haha^^.) My innerseam on pants are 91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch = tall woman ;-). I got a par of linen pants years ago but they ar ea bit wide in the waist… and this summer I got linen fabric from a girlfriend and yes there we are. 🙂
The 2nd pattern & the 2nd dress here is: “fancy dress” the white curtain.
To find the right pattern isn’t easy…
But I did it 😍 Do you see the lines I filled in? That’s the pattern.
I woke up around 9.30am saw the Sunlight coming in through my window and just wanted to make coffee and sit outside, just like mom always did. So I did 😍.
Realizing how convenient it was to have the app for my blog on my phone, and how little I actually haven’t written since I took away from my phone… So I had to down load it again.
During my cup of coffee I took care of my flowers outside on the stairs – “my garden” – as I don’t even have a patch of garden…
Cleaning b4 fixing how the flowers should stand 😊.
My seeds that I sowed in April has starting to grow 🤩 and soon I will have sunflowers.
Yesterday I bought 4 different curtains lenths at a 2ndhand store, washed an off-white one together with a linen fabric. Today I drew a pattern for a dress I’ve wanted to try sewing for few years but didn’t have the courage. Now I’ll use the curtain length to sew different types of dresses.
Dress pattern.
Next step, after resting my back a bit in the couch, will be to add the pattern to the fabric 😊.
What a crazy trip 🤪🤪 13 hours all together! Yes I will tell you everything about it.
This was the flight plan…
I went out of my door at 12.30pm June 29th to catch the local bus to catch the shuffle bus. Realizing the 🌡 is +26° ☀️☀️ and nearly no wind = 🥵🥵🥵🥵 for me. Got the first heatstroke waiting on the shuffle bus 🥵🤪🤢🤯.
…eventually got to the airport 13.30pm ish. Needed water, suger and than past the security control. No issues there.
The first tunnel out to the airplane was so so hot 🥵🥵 second heatstroke, not as big, hit me. (I wish I had a diagnose so people could understand me better). I sat with the AC on the whole way to Gardemoen to cool down once again.
From Sola, Stavanger airport to Gardemoen, Oslo.
Arrived /landed to Gardemoen 17.20/ 17.30pm, tryed to find my gate. Needed to cool down again, my head was boiling 🥵🥵🥵 from the heatstroke. I walkeded back and forth pasting gates and restaurants, tired, hungry and dizzy. Just wanted to eat, but nothing I liked… Ended up at a kiosk with a mix of a sandwich and a pizza. Warmed up as a pizza. After the pizza-sandwich I went to nearest wc to cool down my boiling head. Maybe 10 minutes later a good strong double espresso/americano. 😊
And the waiting at Gardemoen was planned to 3,5 hours which was long enough for me in this heat. But my flight got delayed with even 55min more 🤪🤪🤪
19.44pm Gardemoen June 29th.
The Lord gave me patience to not freakout.
From the air to landing at the airport of Værnes, Trondheim 20.35pm to walking in Trondheim at 21.45, buying an ice cream to catching the night train (leaving 23.15pm) towards Oslo, on the train for 1 hour.
At Støren train station m6 newest mother in law came and saved me 🤩🤩 from this super long day 🤪🤪. 00.10am. We drove to my sister in law’s house and arrived 01.22am (the 30st)
(I really nead a driving license!!)
Me and my sister in law were up to 03am 🤪🤪 talking. I found the bed, slept good and woke up the nxt day ready for helping out with the decoration for the Wedding party the 1st of July. The weather was much better for me this Friday (June 30th) 🌡⛅☁️🌧 +20°C .
The top picture is my sister in law, finishing her decoration. Decoration a barn between 12pm to 7pm ish.
The last hour before we actually could go home, I stumbled, landed on my right sad knee, which got even more sad 😖🤪, swollen and sore.
Saturday 1st of July = Wedding day and party in Trøndelag, Haltdalen Church and Wedding party at Nordpå fjellhotel.
Picture to the left: Haltdalen Church & wedding ceremony. The picture to the right: The Wedding party.
Sunday 2nd of July, delayed 50th party for my brother (who got married yesterday), for his exame (I think to become a preast) and my sister in law’s 35th birthday, with friends and family.
The evening was less stressful, less people and more enjoyable for me. I could pack, relax infront of the “telly” , I sat out in the garden for an hour cause it was to warm indoors for me 😆😆.
Monday July 4th. Traveling day.. woke up 07.30am. Got my coffee. Got ready to catch the bus towards Trondheim, which before I left home had planned to walk “all day” but becauce of the stumble on Friday wasn’t an option.
0900 am on the bus to Trondheim. 11.10 am in Trondheim, but I got off the bus to early 🤪🤪😆😆. On the other hand I got to walk in an aera I never seen before and I walked over a bridge, past the famous #Nidarosdomen , got into the city and found my way to Espressohouse. Bought me brunch and sat down for an hour 😊😊
Walked around with my suitcase and tryed hard to not walk so fast cause of my knee…
Around in Trondheim.
Approxy 2.40pm I found the bus stop for the shuffle bus, waited for a bus to arrive to be sure. Why, well it was some bus stops that were closed for the Summer… but I couldn’t sit there and wait, no benches 😔. Went to the nearest food store to buy some candy & gum.Walked in the shadow, didn’t want an other heatstroke, found a park. Sat down for approxy 45min in the shadow 😊😊, 🌡☀️+26°C that day… 🥵🥵🥵.
Trondheim city.
Went back to the shuffle bus stop. Waiting on the bus.. got to the airport (4.45?pm) 😊😊 dizzy, need of suger, ate some & drank some water, switched cloths b4 the security control. Depature time 19.50 pm
Gardemoen 20:40pm
Arrived to C7 had to walk to A12…
From Gardemoen it was planned to departure 21.15 pm but no it got delayed there too 🤪🤪 the good thing for me was, it wasn’t as hot at the airport as on Thursday.
The coolest sunset I ever seen, above the clouds. 😊 . Between Gardemoen and Sola, Stavanger the night to July 5th.
We were finally in the air 22.48pm. Now was just the question if I would reach the very last night shuffle bus back into Stavanger city for me to catch my last bus out to my suburb?!? We did arrive 23.50pm and you all know arriving doesn’t mean out of the airplane. Luckly I only had a cabin suitcase. I forced myself out of the airplane to be able to catch the last shuffle bus. 0.13 am I steped onboard 😊 HaPPy. Asked the driver what time we would be at the bushub, and he said 0.50 am. I asked friends who I knew could be awake, to pray that I would be able to catch my bus. I did. I locked up my housedoor at 01.20am exhausted in both body & brain.
The Lord was with my all the way. No doub! Eveey time I started to freak out He showed his love & peace. I made it becauce of Him.
…a week later, is more yellow than any other colours. I sat in my couch at home for a week becauce the leg was so sore…
