Photo Copyright:Wikipedia 'F is for fox' It's Thursday, well actually, it's Sunday October 31st, and I would like to revise my F-post for Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday - Round 2. Suddenly, yesterday, Saturday October 30th, I could get online with my home computer after more than a week of running to the public library to post. Photo Copyright Christina Wigren Thank you for visiting this meager F-post and I hope you will come back to see what I had originally thought of writing about. What I wrote earlier here:"This week's letter is 'F', which has fabulous possibilities. But since I am posting from the Public Library I will keep this short and sweet:" does no longer apply. But still, my F-word is FOX . Here are some little foxes that I found at my daughter's preschool/kindergarten: Photo Copyright Christina Wigren I would have liked to have wrtten a poem or a story about foxes for this post. But the letter F will come again. Next tim...

E is for Embroidery and Erik. Erik, who is eight, worked on this embroidered family portrait for six weeks. He is in the third grade. The picture shows, from left to right, his father, himself, his sister Elisabet and his mother, yours truly, Anna. P.S. I am having computer problems BIG-TIME. I am sitting at the Public Library right at this moment and have not been able to get on line for three days. I tried to link up with Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday today, Saturday, but came too late. The link is already closed, as It usually closes on Fridays. But please go there to visit other E-posts for Alphabe-Thursday. In order to be linked to some kind of link list, I have linked to Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus, one of the memes in which I usually participate. Please visit SC too.

Photos Copyright Christina Wigren Today is Wednesday and I am linking to Mrs. Denise Nesbitt's fun meme ABC-Wednesday, Round 7. This week we are exploring words that begin with the letter N. Not surprising, I have chosen an N-word related to my page's main theme, Jewellery. My N-word is Necklace! Photos Copyright Christina Wigren I would like to show a brand new unlisted necklace that I made yesterday. It is inspired by the changes in colour elderberries go through after the white flowers wilt and the green elderberries ripen to dark blueish-purple. Photos Copyright Christina Wigren Here are the lacy white blossoms that can be used to make a lemony-sweet summer drink. Photos Copyright Christina Wigren And here we see the clusters of berries that appear after the tiny white flowers are gone. Photos Copyright Christina Wigren The green berries look almost like green beads. Photos Copyright Christina Wigren So it is not hard to imagine making a necklace with beads t...

It is Sunday October 17th and I have already posted a text for yesterday's SC week # 24. I liked the prompt for October 9th, week 23, so much, I would like to post two more texts using the prompt "If I had a hammer..." I know that I have had the benefit of reading everyone else's texts. But I still haven't seen any texts using the prompt exactly like this. So please bear with me and let me try this.

Photo Copyright Christina Wigren D is for Dog (Please see this post a second time. It's Friday and I've added a third dog!) Today is Wednesday and we continue with our journey through the Alphabet with Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday , Round 2. This week's letter is D . My D-word is Dog : What to do? I don't own a dog and I don't want to just use photos from Wikipedia. I took my camera with me to fetch the children from school and asked a couple of dog owners if we could snap pictures of their dogs. The first person who obliged our request was a man who had two Bull Terriers . Photos Copyright Christina Wigren Photos Copyright Christina Wigren But just one breed of dog is not enough for this theme challenge. We continue our walk along the avenue and spy another man with a Dachshund . Photos Copyright Christina Wigren Photos Copyright Christina Wigren Thank you for allowing us to borrow your dogs! This is Wikipedia's dog, a Yellow Labrador Retri...
