Oh my, is it really three weeks since my last entry (the longest break in the saga of Mias Landliv so far)...? And oh my, what a lovely bunch of readers you are, so generous and so encouraging. Truly the best ones a blogger could ever wish for. Thank you!
So what have I been up to lately? Nothing much, really. Just a bit of dabbling, like redecorating my little studio. Or maybe it does not quite qualify as redecorating.
The "Denim Love"-quilt, that lived outdoors all summer, has come to stay in the studio. Resulting in a bit of shifting around of bits and bobs. Nothing major.
I have actually grown quite fond of the "Denim Love" quilt. And seeing that it has come to stay indoors, I will in the distant future (called next summer!) need a new one outdoors. So a knew one is on its way. Same look, same colours, nothing original.
I have also been fiddling with a bit of wool. I found some blue, cream and grey wool left over from this and that project. I am thinking I just might have enough wool for a cushion cover.
I have also bought yet another decorating book; "Etcetera" by Sibella Court. This time I was lured by the original cover. And it is quite a lovely book, but not quite "me".
But back to more yarny stuff. Since my last entry I have knit the front of the latest (in a long line of) cable cushion(s). But then I ran out of wool... and steam.
And then there are the knitted squares, that hope one day to be made into a pretty and colourful (have you noticed that so far in this entry there has been a strong blue and white vibe going on? These last two photos are a happy exception) woolly blanket. I still have 16 more to go (only 16, you say...?)
Well done you, if you have managed to stay with me till the end of this long entry. Yes, we have indeed reached the end. Now do feel free to tell me how much you have missed me (as if!) while I was on my wee break, cos I sure have missed you!
Some of you wondered about the lovely dog Zara in my last entry. I am sorry to say she is not ours. But we love to have her stay with us every now and then. Hence her appearance in the blog from time to time.

YES...I missed you! Welcome back. I'm glad you linked back to your cream, white, and blue ripple blanket. I had forgotten about it. I love the simplicity of it. This new one looks like it's going to be another beauty.
Missed you lots!
såå fantastisk flink du er!

Har savnet deg. Etter siste kommentar trodde jeg du ville gi deg med blogging, vi får ikke nok av deg og ditt Mia.
Skal det være juleverksted iår? Ifor sydde du så vakre julestrømper.
Hva du klarer å produsere av forskjellige tepper og puter er meg ubegripelig.
God helg
Bente
Its so lovely , your blue and whtes are always so inviting!
Wow you have been a busy girl! Everything is just amazing. Love the new cushion. Cannot wait to see knitted squares together.. Will you sew or crochet them together?
Of course we missed you and your beautiful work. Welcome back! So much making on the go - no wonder you were too bust to blog!
Så deilig å se dine fine bilder av blått! Akkurat hva jeg trengte nå!
God lørdagskveld!
I missed you so much! I am very happy that you are back!
Good to have you "back"! I was worried you were experiencing some not so enjoyable times. Glad you are busy and creative as ever! (hug)
Endeleg. So mykje fint arbeid, kan ikkje anna enn å tenkja på kor kjekt det hadde vore å fått læra handarbeid av deg ! Mange som sikkert har lyst til det. Nydeleg hund, likar dei to pusane hunden og....
I like so muche white and blue shade (?)! They make me feel so qiet !
Ser da ut som du har vært flittig! Skal dere ha julemarked i år da? Håper det - det var så koselig i fjor.
Aahh, godt å se deg tilbake igjen, Mia.
Alltid så hyggelig og inspirerende å kikke innom deg, vettu.
Og siden sist, har jeg lest i ett av mine mange gamle blader, denne gang Lev Landlig 03/2009, side 16 Mias Landliv, herlig repotasje hjemme hos deg, og da ser jeg jo at du har forandre studioet ditt, fra rosa, til nå delikate blåfarger.
Lykke til med alle prosjektene dine - ciao fra Ialia
You'r back, i'm so glad. Thought you gave up.
Without you there would be something missing.
It's sooooo good to see you, I mean read you :o) again!!! ♥♥♥
Love the denim quilt :-)
Oh it´s so good to see you back, I missed you, I love this post, it´s so good to see you have been so busy with so many beautiful things, I must thank you for the wonderful apple cake recipe, it´s so good, and so easy to make, :o)
Have a very good week end.
Dear Mia, I missed you! What a lovely post full of beautiful creativity. Your crochet squares are gorgeous as are your solid colour squares, and your new quilt is very you! Take care, Ann
I missed you! Welcome back! I enjoyed the soothing colors in your post. Say, if you're interested in ancient trade beads, I invite you to visit my blog and see my collection I just posted about. Hugs from Oregon.. Teresa
Great to see your beautiful post Mia- was a teeny bit worried about you!
The blue and white theme is beautiful and I adore your knitted cable cushion!... I would love to try cables next (I am quite new to knitting)... is it very difficult?
I loved this post... knitting, crochet AND patchwork...heaven!!

Åååå,her var det koselig.Seer du har skifra fra rosa og roser til blått og hvitt.Nydelig det også.
Har du brukt dongri i midten på quilten som ligger på senga?
God helg!
I'm just waiting to know how you'll join the squares. I have almost 100 of them and can't find the way to finish my cover...
You were missed; I'm glad you're back. Blue and white please me very much too, so I don't tire of seeing them. However, I love your color combinations in everything you make. Thanks for the inspiration.
Mia, we miss you! I love your blanket "Love Denim" this year I madeone with a cut jeans and shirts for my children inspired by your work, and they love it for the memories it holds. For me it has an extra plus because I remember many times lived and how much I admire your work and your blog is always mentioned in the mine. Changes in your study were wonderful, beautiful harmony of colors. Congratulations! Grace
Lovely to see you back, Mia. I've started knitting squares, inspired by your, but don't quite know, yet, just what they well become!
Phew! You're back. I was afraid you had called it quits! Love, love, love your knitted squares and look forward to seeing the finished product.
Kathy
Hola mía me alegra que estés de vuelta me encantan los azules y por tus mantas me inspire en todos los jeans de mis trillizas entre azules ,grises y rallados mas unas florcitas estoy armando una manta con puntillas creo que va a quedar muy linda ,gracias por volver, un beso.
I love blue and white, and your work is lovely. The grey and white knitted blanket is beautiful, too.
It's great that you are back! I love your studio. It has a calming look about it. It's amazing to see how many squares you have knitted. Looking forward to seeing the completed article when you get time to finish it. You have so many projects on the go!
Ja Mia, klart jag saknat dina blogg-inlägg:)
Som alltid har du något vackert handarbete på gång. Dina qiltar /lapptäcken är otroliga! Även dom virkade och stickade plädarna är så fina. Du har verkligen öga för vackra färgkombinationer!
Nu längtar jag så smått efter advent och fler fina inlägg från dig!
Kram/ Jeanette
So very happy to see you back! Your work is so inspirational, to the fact that after spending weeks clearing my attic, I found tons of fabric and have started to make an english pieced hexagon quilt. I also found lots of blue and white fabric, so your new quilt is extra inspirational as I am looking forward to doing something similar.

How lovely to have you back! I adore that gorgeous cable knitted cushion - may even inspire me to have a go myself. Soon.

Pelkäsin jo että olet lopettanut bloggaamisen kokonaan, tauko oli niin pitkä. Kuvasi ja tekstisi ilahduttavat aina. Kiitos niistä!
Riitta Espoosta :-)

hola!siempre sigo tu blog,me encanta el lugar donde vivis!tu jardin!la decoracion y tu arte en tela y lana!!!paz y amor en tu vida,gracias por maravillar mis ojos:)
Yes I missed you. Love the blue and white theme going on. I really like the new denim love patchwork that you're working on. I can't wait to see how the knitted patchwork is going to look though because I love the colour combination you have. Fiona x
Mia, it is wonderful to see how you continue to explore the possibilities of that blue and white vibe. It's also a favorite vibe of mine.
The denim love quilts are so subtly intricate in their harmonies...real beauties!
It grand to see a new post from you, and find out how all your projects are advancing. Those multi-colored knit squares are making a beautiful stack. Are you going to sew or crochet them together...or is that still to be decided? (I don't usually plan these sorts of things too far ahead, just see what develops.)

Dear Mia,
I disc covered your lovely blog just before you took your "wee break", and I have come back several times to see if you had written anything new! So nice to see your beautiful blue and cream quilt, your knitted squares and your lovely studio. I'll be back to visit again!
Best wishes,
judy
I am so glad that you have not gone away just as I have found you! I have been redecorating too, and certainly it makes me feel like I need a break!

I have missed you - welcome back! Your studio looks like a wonderful place to sew and dream and plan. What beautiful things you create there.
Your patch is wonderfull, you give me envy to create one. Thanks !!!
Hi Mia, this morning I thought to you when I was in a bookshop because the first book I noticed was "Etc." of Sibella Court :D
Have a nice day
So nice to have you back! Love the photos of your sheep. The denim quilt looks lovely in your studio. November isn't my completely favorite month except that it's birthday month in my family - my son, both of my parents and my best friend!
So glad you came back! Have missed your beautiful interior photos of your lovely house, your wonderful cushions, quilts and throws and photos of your tidy and productive garden!
Love the new blue quilt!
Mio,je skvělé,že jste zpět!!!Váš blogg je můj nejoblíbenější.Dáša
I am so happy to read you again. Your photos and your home are so beautiful. Sorry but my english is very bad. Thank yo so mutch.

That log cabin quilt with denim is stunning! And the new nine patch in making will be just as beautiful. I am so inspired to try out mini squares and make a nine patch quilt... Dutch Sisters are making one too... And I am cutting an unknown number of mini squares from my scrap basket... And blue and white always right. Right now I am making a table runner in the same theme... It is so lovely to pop in at your place. Always. ♥♥♥ Annette
