Back to "normal"

Yesterday was "back to normal" after Sigve's Confirmation celebration on Saturday and Sunday. 
I found my running shoes and made this year's first trip up to "Havern" , a peak right by our house.  It takes me a little over an hour to walk briskly up and run back home.  The path going up is quite steep so there is NO WAY I could run it...... The reason I decided it was time to start running again was this:

The dessert and cake table at the party on Saturday..... And there certainly are LOTS of leftovers......

After my run I headed for my sewing room and got it cleaned up a bit before I got this new pattern out. We got it at the shop last week and I wanted to try to make a monkey coin purse- aren't they cute?  They sure look cute on the pattern- not sure I can make one this cute though....

I decided on an orange monkey.... The fabric with the spots is a Batik. 

Here is half the monkey face almost finished- I think this might have been the easy part- I'll let you know how the rest goes- hope to do some sewing today as well- I am lucky and have the day off :-)
Thanks for stopping by- have a great day!

  2. I feel like I could run right now ..... but only to that dessert table and indulge! ha ha
    I tried out Wordpress but decided it wasn't for me so I'm still here on Blogger.
    Wishing you a great week! xo

  3. Søte små apekatter...
    Liker nok best bloger, men følger deg også på Wordpress en stund, for å se hvordan jeg liker det formatet ;-)
