                                                       When I was just a little girl
                                                  I asked my mother, what will I be
                                                       Will I be pretty, will I be rich
                                                       Here's what she said to me.


                                                              Que Sera, Sera,
                                                       Whatever will be, will be
                                                  The future's not ours, to see
                                                               Que Sera, Sera
                                                     What will be, will be.-Doris Day

              Well...the year is at it´s end and...the future is to see...we will see what will be:)

Season greetings!!




*Light a candle and let it burn
Never let the hope disappear in the dark now
but it becomes brighter again
Light a candle for all you believe in
for this planet we live on
light a candle for the children of earth.......

I saw a star fall it was last night when everyone was asleep
I think I wanted you were close for a minute
then burned the for a second then it disappeared
it was just me who saw on the radio singing them about peace on earth
I wanted to believe them worn words.....

Light a candle and let it burn never let the hope disappear it is dark now
but it becomes brighter again
Light a candle for all you believe in for this planet we live on
light a candle for the children of earth ....

I received a card from Windhem
I did not know where it was
I looked on the map
You are on the other side of the world
but it is the same sky it is the same sea and the star that
I saw seemed forever that we dream seemed that we never forget...

lit a candle and let it burn
never let the hope disappear in the dark now
but it becomes brighter again
Light a candle for all you believe in for this planet we live on
light a candle for the children of earth ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
promise to take care of yourself, a greeting for you
lit a candle and let it burn
never let the hope disappear in the dark now
but it becomes brighter again
light a candle for all you believe in
for this planet we live on

light a candle for the children of earth
Aaah lit a candle for the children of earth light a candle for the children of earth*
(That was a Swedish Christmas songs by the group Triad..) I love that song..the lyrics are beautiful and i think really meaningful..
I just wanted to tell you all
                                                Merry Christmas!
       Joyeux Noël!   С Рождеством Христовым!     
             Nollaig Shona!   ¡Feliz Navidad!   
 Nadolig Llawen!            God Jul!
        Take care of yourself and your loved ones...
 
 
Love Elly  XOX

A Christmas present!!

Hi!!!! I´m back!!!

I wanted to do something for my nephew E.P but I didn´t know what! I found some patterns for knitted baby clothes but not the one I wanted so I knitted bites of different designs! But the collar was the hardest because it is overlapped...it´s difficult to explain! But it looks like this...

I have knitted little things before so I'm not the best knitter ... I've lost count of how many times I had to redo it and start all over again!! I took a few deep breaths .. counted to 10 ... And maybe some bad words;o) 


This is the back!

This is the front!

When I first read the chart for the pattern ... I thought that I'd never get it but it wasn´t so hard when i got started .. but I had to keep count of each lap/ row,
otherwise it would have been impossible to remember where to do what!


An arm!





I couldn´t make the collar as in the picture so I had to rethink and make something else with what i had:o)






Good thing I played with dolls when I was younger!

I had a big doll that I put the sweater on after I had put the pieces together. .=( Then I saw that I made ​​the collar too low in the front! I had to redo it but it went pretty fast to do.


And this is the end product!!!!!It may not be perfect but but I like it .... I just hope he can wear it :o/

                                                   



I´m have some ideas about other things i want to do.....but that´s a story for another day;oP

Elly
