HELLOOOO-A CATCH UP!

Ooops...life intervened! Jet lag is gone, puppy is FINALLY better, but internet at my house is abysmal, so I'm at the coffee house, with lots to show and tell!

 We took the overnight ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo; our accomodations were
spartan, but the ferry trip was fun


 Oslo is also a beautiful city...and our good weather held.
 (I don't know why I look so grumpy...see what I'm about to eat!)
Lunch of mussels and frites...and a walk through the city.




We visited an open air museum and several "stave" churches...



We left Oslo and took two days to travel to Bergen, on the coast...up, up through the mountains





stopping at a charming, art-filled family run hotel en route...


I will finish up with Bergen on my next post.

 I have been in the studio a bit since my return...I made a pair of pants,
V8929, View C, by Marcy Tilton. The fabric is a paisley denim by EmmaOneSock.
They are so comfortable, I've hardly had them off my body for 10 days!
The Bride and Groom, whose 1st anniversary is tomorrow, are on a two week anniversary road trip and will be stopping overnight next weekend. It's hard to believe a year has gone by so quickly!

 TTYL!

Come on over to Visible Monday to see this week's visible women!

    Of all the lovely photos, I was struck by the flowers in Oslo...the chartreuse and purple arrangement is spectacular. Love that fountain which appears to be a dandelion? As usual, your new pants are adorable. :-) Welcome home.

    Love your trousers and the photos of Scandinavia. I'd love to go up North as you did.

    And yes, fingers crossed, next time I come south you are at home! I thought about you as I passed the road up the hill:).

    Hi Margy! I love seeing the photos of your travels, and seeing you wearing the various garments you've made. That red vest certainly was useful, and it looks great on you. Love the new paisley pants, too. Looking forward to your next post!
