Back to reality! I had an amazing time in Norway. It is so pretty and the weather was amazing. Did not see much wildlife, sheep mostly. I think everyone should add Norway to their bucket list. I still have not had much time to sort through all of the pictures, I took 740 photos, not to mention the ones my parents took. So it will be hard to pick my favorites! Here are a few!

Of course I couldn't not buy crafting supplies from Norway. I have always been fascinated by Hardanger. I actually traveled through the Hardanger region of Norway. So I had to picked up a small piece to start on, but I am already checking out the JCS Ornament edition for more Hardanger designs. Hopefully I can do Hardanger.
Vigdis, my wonderful hostess and guide, knits so I asked her where she buys her supplies, and picked up up some yarn and new needles as well. I want to make a scarf out of the yarn, hopefully I can find a Norwegian pattern. I got a deal on rose painting, as well. Praying I bought enough yarn, 5 total. I will be in a mess if I didn't!
