Dog show

On saturday the 11 of february there was a dog show in Ølen, a small town close by. I showed Molly and Evita. The whole week I had been groomin Molly and getting her ready, normally I get help with cutting her coat but this time I decided it was time to do it my self, haha! She didn't look too good at first but when I were finished I think it wasn't too bad, but ofcourse not as good as if I would get help.
Evita was the first one out in the ring and I had Monica helping me showing her. the judge was from Sweden and he really liked Evita except he thought her snout wasn't wide enough. She did very good and Evita got 3 best female dog and got the reserve certificate, very happy with that.
Molly were showing for a judge from Ireland, we weren't too many newfoundland dogs showing, only 5. Molly were alone in her class and won that, but in best female class she got nr 2 cause her movement wasn't too clean. The number one female dog was Diva, Sølvi's dog (Max and Molly's breeder) and she got the last certificate she needed and became Norwegian Champion!! :D Wohoo :) Very good!
Overall I were happy with the day and celebrated the day by going out on a dance in Etne, had a lot of fun! :)

Transit.... stop... again

I went to Etne this morning to get my grooming equipment so I could finish grooming Molly for the dogshow this weekend. Like I said I have to wait 1 and a half hour before I can start the transit if it is warm. I waited and drove back when it was cold again. When I got to Skjold I decided to pick up the mail and stopped the car, but did not turn it off. I ran and got the mail and thought that this would be alright, started driving and just after 4 meters it started stopping! Nooooo!! I let it roll as far as it could but it was not enough. I drove it a bit on the start engine aswell, but still I could not make it home.

Just look at the photo how close I were:


That is my drive way, all I could do was to shake my head and laugh! Haha, just my luck!


I sent a photo message to both Brenden and dad and both of them could not stop laughing haha! :) My sister came a little bit later and she could not understand what the transit were standing in the road for!
Some hours later I went out, jumped in the car and it started as if nothing were wrong with it. I am taking it to the workshop tomorrow, hopefully they can find out what the problem is.

Beanie!

I have not finished Odin's jumper yet cause I got bored with knitting it, but I started a new knitting project, a beanie, which I finished in a day.

Here it is half way

And the finished result

I really love the colours of it, I was not too sure about them when I started, but now I really  like them. 
You can find the recipe here: http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/pattern.php?id=5294&lang=en

It is the greatest page every, if you want to learn how to knit this is the perfect page. They have a knitting school were you can see photos how you knit and also they have videos of some of it, very good! Also they have knitting recipe and you can buy wool of them. 

I have already started my new project, but I am not sure if I can do it yet so I will not tell you what it is yet ;)

Snowblizzard

You know your house is draughty when you got snow coming in through the small doorgap! This is down in my basement. And my bedroom is no better, there so much wind coming in there I think there is only 5 degrees in there. I woke up with my feet being really cold and my nose all red and cold!


We have a small snoow blizzard here today, alot of wind and snow flying everywhere. I have taken the dogs in to my dogroom so they are all cosy and warm :)

Snow!!

We got lots of snow!! Wohoo!! I took the dogs out with me for a walk in the snow and here are some photos of them! :) Odin didn't want to sit in the snow so no photo of him.

Max and Molly can be so cute sometimes! :)


Molly have been playing in the snow! 

"Are we sitting nice now?? Are we??" :) 

And one of me:) 

Love the snow <3 <3

Stop again

I worked overtime on thursday from 1500 to 2300 and when I were driving home I had to stop and get some fuel. My transit is sort of working alright lately, but if I drive far and stop it, then I have to wait an hour before I can start it again. So when I were going to get fuel after work I didn't stop it, but when I were filling it up it stoped by itself!! Noooooo!!! So then at 2330 at night I had to sit and wait in the car for an hour before I could drive back home!!! I were only 15 min from home. People were looking strange at me, but no one came over to ask what was happening, rude!


Luckely I had some clothes laying in the car cause it got really cold, it was minus degrees outside and snowing heaps. So I sat there for an hour listening to some music on my cool Ipod and yes, suddenly it started and I drove back home :)  I were back home around 0100 or something. I am thinking maybe its time to get a new car! :P
