The last couple of weeks I've been working on a large crochet summer shawl. I've made a previous post on this project too. You'll find it here. Today I'm finishingup the instructions and pattern in Norwegian and English (!!!) and they will be available shortly so stay tuned. When working on larger, more time consuming yarn projects like this one or knitting sweaters or anything like that people often ask me how I find the patience to finish such a time consuming project. And you know what... I have no idea (!). Lol. True story. While working on some big crochet or knitting project I always have thousands of new ideas popping up in my head. New ideas. New inspiration. But what keeps me going, finishing the project is probably the joy, ...
Dried yellow chilli
Good day! While working on some larger projects and preparing a description and pattern for the crochet shawl I've been working on for a while I wanted to share a fun little project with you. I loooove these useful and tasty homegrown, dried yellow chilli peppers. You might already have seen my canned yellow chilli peppers ... you'll find it HERE http://www.gudruns.blog/2018/07/canned-yellow-hot-chilli-peppers-💥/ I also saved some of the chillis from my friends garden to hang dry in my kitchen.

You just pick whole chilli grab a needle and thread and use the needle to "sew" the chilli peppers on to the thread. I ...
DIY Kaffe peeling
🇬🇧English👇🏻 Hei og god mandag! Idag tenkte jeg å dele oppskrift på en finfin hjemmelagd peeling-krem lagd av sheasmør, kokkosolje, eteriske oljer og kaffe. Hvordan er det med sommer-huden din? Er den klar for høstlige dager eller er den litt tørr og bitt av sol og bading og sommervarme? Det er aldri feil å skrubbe av litt døde hudceller for å gi huden fin glød og mulighet for dannelse av nye, friske hudceller. Denne hjemmelagde skrubben er både skånsom, effektiv og gir god næring til huden. Visste du at kaffebønner inneholder mye fett som er kjempebra for tørr hud. I denne peelingkremen er det også frankincense eterisk olje som beskytter cellene og er veldig bra for huden, hjelper mot arr og elding av huden og copaiba som forsterker ...
Instant sunshine popsicles ☀️
Peppermint-Melissa tea popsicles with Caramelised kumquat Wow! How cool is that?!? To make popsicles of tea made from your own homegrown garden herbs!! I love herbal tea made of peppermint and Melissa - it’s fresh, cooling and uplifting. It works perfect both as warm tea and ice tea, so if you have some leftovers after making tea in your tea pot, don’t throw it away! And as a bonus melissa and peppermint both have some wonderful medical properties. Soothing, calming, antibacterial, supporting digestion and so on. So, I got this idea it might be yummy to make iced tea popsicles. I had a few kumquat from my friends greenhouse and I wanted to use these for something fun. Citrus are all uplifting and works as instant sunshine. So this ...
Gardeners Peppermint tea. 🌱 (and how to easily dry your garden herbs)
Peppermint tea made of real peppermint leaves from the garden is one of my all time favourites. ❤️ Peppermint isn't just tasty and have a wonderful aroma and scent it also has soothing and cooling effects it helps digestion and makes you feel more comfortable after eating a heavy meal. And if you wonder why people of Northern Africa drink sweet, warm peppermint tea during the warmest days, I can tell you; peppermint is cooling and the warm beverage makes the body absorb the water and liquid more easily... and if you sweeten the tea using for example honey you'll have a little boost of energy during the day... specially after lunch ... So, my favourite peppermint tea is made of peppermint leaves from the garden. You can use fresh ...

Kirsebærsaft 🍒 cherry “lemonade” syrup
English👇🏻 God mandag!! Jeg håper du har hatt en riktig god helg. Jeg har kost meg med aktiviteter som gjør meg glad og gir energi. Jeg har vært sammen med familien, venner og de jeg er glad i, og jeg har høstet og syltet og saftet og tatt vare på gaver fra naturen og hagen. Det gjør meg alltid utrolig glad når jeg ser at frukt og bær og grønnsaker modnes og vi kan bruke det til å lage ting som vi kan glede oss over på kjøkkenet. Idag har jeg lyst til å dele min oppskrift på kirsebærsaft. Jeg har et lite tre med sure kirsebær i hagen og i år ga det lille treet så mye bær at det ble 5 flasker saft. Hurra! Kirsebær er veldig takknemlige bær å lage saft av. Saften blir god, vakker farge og den holder seg godt. Selv bruker jeg en ...
