Hi Arne and Carlos, here in Central California, actually in Sebastopol, we have a craft thrift store. The Senior Citizens Center runs it. They have everything from knitting yarn and tools to sewing materials, craft books, UFOs, and all kinds of great odds and ends. They recently expanded. I always look there first when I need some crafty thing. What fun!
I think I truly fell in love with you both when you revealed your dedication to the works of the dead-or-blind lady. What more noble cause in this world than that of honoring dead ladies? And now I see that you've extended your dedication to dead chairs, and since chairs are my second favorite things in the world, next to dead ladies, my menu is complete.
😂
❤️❤️❤️
Happy Spring❤ Please share the name of the color wall behind you. I have seen this color in IKEA and so love it. Thank you for all you do in teaching and sharing about the fabric crafts we share worldwide . Wishing you JOY❤
Falu red or Falun red is a popular color for houses, especially in Sweden.
I agree with the earlier comment, the red stitching around that beautiful 1876 scrapbook is called “blanket stitch” here in the USA, and it is often used to edge blankets. Love the new fabrics, and I will request my local fabric store bring them in. Thank you for sharing. - Mary
When I 'drop dead', I would be very happy to have someone take over my 'dead or blind lady projects' and add their own style to them. 😁😁
Thanks for a great Sit and Knit today guys. I absolutely love the paint colour and curtains behind you. You have such great taste ❤
I love your tomato red wall!! So cheerful! Looking forward to your pajama gardener episodes!
Happy Sunday! So glad to see beautiful Freja today. Glad she is still keeping everyone in line. 😂
The fabric line is gorgeous and I look forward to seeing it in person. Hope you have a wonderful week.! ❤🤗😘
Love you guys!
You remind us all of the magic of ordinary days❤️
Well said!
Thank you so much!
Arne, it might be fun to have the beetle appear in the milkmaid piece.
Moose Moose. Loved getting to see Freya
Let's add Goose Goose to that :)
Arne, I LOVE this new piece you found at the thrift shop. I have just finished repainting an antique mirror in a red that is very similar to your F&B copper red. Please share a photo once you’ve hung your beautiful new piece. Please visit the Boston area again sometime. I would be happy to be your driver.
I love how dedicated you are to your traditions
I've always known the making of books with pictures collected and stuck onto pages as being called scrapbooking. Now it's also called scrapbooking to add things to pages with photos etc and making themed photo pages in albums.
It was good to see Freya, she does look very fluffy. You two have so many projects going at once, how nice to be so busy but you still have your fun time.
I love your fabrics. The birds are sweet and the pine ones give. me Adirondack vibes. Your quilts are going to be spectacular. Can't wait to see them finished!
Christmas rose in the U K is known as Hellebore.
I love you both!! The new fabrics are so wonderful!! Arni, I love your hexi's!! Calos you and Arni are such great designers!!! I wish I could afford to buy your fabrics But we will see how much they will cost here in the US. I know that most fabrics that come from Europe are terribly expensive here, and I just can't afford them!! I have been thinking of somewhere else to live, it's only a dream, but I love Norway and how wonderful the people are and how you hold tight to your heritage!! I have lived in snow country here in the states and I am a mountain women!! I never minded the snow except when it got to 18 feet, that was a bit much!! I had a friend who would drive her snow plow to the house and clear the driveway!! I walked to work about 5 miles a day and sometimes my boss would bring me home!! If not I would just walk home in the snow!!! Mym kids were the world to me!! They are grown now and doing their own thing!! Anyway, Now that I have bored you, I will just say thank you both for the wonderful videos!! Oh before I forget, Have a wonderful trip to England and I look forward to seeing what new things you find!! Take care and have a blessed trip!!! Vicky from Michigan
It sounds like what you are describing for Freya is the Happy Hoody.
Love my feel-good, guys. The material is awesome. Enjoy the travels.❤
Thank you!
It was glorious in London today. I had a wonderful time walking around Greenwich Park.I love the wall colour.
Thank you!
Your thrift store find for above the door ornament is really cool!
I am looking forward to seeing the special stitch pattern you will add to the cross stitch pasture scene.
Will it be Freya, favorite clothes or clothes patterns, plant squiggles, candy wrappers, a relaxing chair or Barbie??? ¿Que será?😂
Ah ! Enjoy England . Can’t wait to hear about that trip and to see what goodies Arne brings back.
I know I’m not alone when I say I wish you guys were my personal designers. What taste! What elegance! I love your fabrics ! You’d be such fun to work with.
Love the persimmon colored wall in back of you . When can we see the house renos??
Beautiful wood sculpture.
Can’t wait for pajama Gardner !!!!!
Love Freya’s ears!!
Good luck in your new venture.
Arne’s Hexies are gorgeous.
Love you guys - safe travels .
❤xxMarilyn
I remember your telling the story about Freja and the water mishap years ago. As I recall you said after that she wouldn't even "walk through a rain puddle." I felt bad for Freja but that really made me laugh. Happy trip to the UK!
Here in Hastings east sussex we have had rain but it is warm we got rain again tomorrow love your dear dog love your video its the 21may to day
Thank you!
I love your fabric with the birds, in our garden we have such birds, they are called "Elster" Greetings from Bavaria
Ooooo, love the flowers on the crochet tablecloth!
Doggie looks healthy, your shirts are nice combo and red background also good to look at. It's Sunday...I'm resting with Earl Grey my kitty. Purple irises everywhere ❤
Another enjoyable episode - thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Thanks, Arne & Carlos. I look forward to your outdoor videos. ♥🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Been in Norway since 10 May & it's been very HOT. Last time I was in Norway in May was 16 years ago & it was freezing! It snowed in Nordmarka.
Grand-uncles does not make you old! What's important is that you are part of a loving family. I always look forward to your Sunday episodes, but frequently do not finish watching them until mid-week. Hope you had a wonderful time in England!
Hello, Arne&Carlos! On 8min and 25sec I believe you are taking about Helleborus orientalis -Lenten rose. And if I’m not wrong in Norwegian its name is Julerose. 🙂
Love you guys. I am glad Freya made a appearance. I as a dog lover likes to see her in your videos. Kiss Freya for me....Kathy
How lovely to see and hear Freja today! She is so lovely and groomed. Looking forward to Pyjama Gardeners and footage of your trip to England. Have a great time! Thanks for sharing!
I hope your trip to England is lovely. I'd also like to mention how excited we all are about Arne's new studio. I'm so excited to see it all done. Happy Spring.
Happy spring!
Enjoy your garden trip. Thank you for you stories-safe trip.
This "Christmas Rose and not quite Christmas Rose" seems to be another sort of Helleborus called "Spring Rose". There ar colours form burgandy to pink, white and lighr yellow. Very pretty!
Always lovely to see you both with a new video. And dear little Freya.
Ive been meaning to ask about your parents Carlos ? I hope theyre both well.
Safe return travels to the UK. Im sure Arne will WOW us with a thrift shop find 😂
❤❤❤
LOL I have a show-type English Cocker Spaniel and she often has to wear a snood over her ears to keep them out of food or dirt... Not her favourite, but needs must when you have such long ears! I have also found a snood useful when grasses are very dry and there is a danger of grass awns getting into the ears (which has necessitated an operation in the past :(() - this has never been a problem in Switzerland but traveling in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark after a warm spring, it became something of a nightmare with consequences for many months. So we'll be sticking with the snoods, no matter how odd they look!!
Ooohhh you went to England and missed Constitution Day! Hope you had a fabulous trip and came back with all kinds of exciting new ideas! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
If the studio gets full sun, red may make it too hot. Lewis & Irene fabrics are available in many states of Australia. So will have to ask my local rural shop if they can order. I am up to my third rabies injection next week for a trip to Jordan & Egypt. 😂
In german we say „Glanzbilder“, too, and we also say „Oblaten“. in the past every girl collected them !
You guys are wonderful. I’m not a designer or amazing knitter but I am a pretty good spinner. You should let me spin your dogs wool. You will love knitting with that wild child wool.
That piece from the thrift shop is so so cool, great find!
I love the wall color and the curtains.
So glad that Freya perked up by the end!
Yellow and cream will reflect the shades of the day better and make the room seem more welcoming and calming!
Thank you!
Oh and enjoying cloudberry jam imported!
Nothing has changed when it comes to talking about weather
Our niece puts those hats onto her field spaniels so they keep their ears out of their food. She calls them Snoods. Persevere, Freya will get used to it xx
That’s good you learned and practice taking car of your vintage car with the correct gas. 🚘
Hi it was great catching up with you, have a great trip the the English gardens. It was nice to see Freya!
That temperature is ridiculous for anywhere in Northern Europe for this time of the year
Thrifting is fun! My mother grew up very poor during the Great Depression in the U.S.
She had an expression she always used “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”
Making do is fun! My mother loved repurposing in very creative ways. She amazed me with her wonderful imagination and sense of style.
It is a lot of fun!
I love all your fabrics. Hopefully I'll be able to find some to buy.
Thanks for sharing with the people out here. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you for watching!
You make me laugh..nearly fell of my chair onto my knitting needles again....dead lady's project and arne saying stitching as died..so funny😂😂😂😂😂❤
😍
Love the new fabrics!
Thank you!
Love how the colors in your two shirts match
I just made a quilt out of men’s’ shirts and love it. I got the inspiration from “Catbird Quilts”. a great UA-cam channel. It was fun.
Thank you for the UA-cam tip!
I'm just about to chose painting for my high ceiling what a great tip and observation guys. Now I know which color to chose.
👍🏻
In UK they say 'Great Uncles' not Grand Uncle, I think you two would be GREAT as Uncles
😍😍
I apologize but what is a rotary iron?
Lovely to see Freya and you two great uncles too 😂 enjoy the gardens here in the UK, hope the weather is good for you . Looking forward to seeing your garden too. Sian from North Wales 😊
Thank you!
The color of your back wall is my new favorite color. Please tell me the paint maker and color. Love you guys
Farrow and Ball, Charlotte’s Locks.
I’ve never bought fabric before but those are so gorgeous I MUST get my hands on some 😍
😍❤️
Love your new fabric!
You are his "Gruncle".
I was in Oslo for two days! If I’d had more time I would love to have visited with you guys!!
😍
Don't expect you to remember me, but I miss you "dahlings". Loved today's episode, the wonderful items on the shelves, the show-and-tells, and the gorgeous color of the wall. Love. (Lynne Lovejoy-Havila in March)
Love your fabrics!
10 minutes instead of 15 minutes is fine! We are a flexible bunch ❤❤
❤️❤️
Enjoyed seeing Freja today, she is beautiful! Hope your trip to the UK is a great one, maybe you can do some thrift shopping there...I'm looking forward to seeing Arne's workshop!!!
Love the red wall behind you.
Thank you !
Enjoy your travels
The new crochet tablecloth pattern ❤️. I also love the bag design‼️. Another pattern purchase! Thanks for another enjoyable SAKFAB🧶
I kept some shirts which belonged to my father-in-law when he died so that I could make a quilt from them for my husband. I only have 5 shirts however so I hope it is enough. I usually quilt by hand and it takes years to complete a quilt. I haven't made one for about 15 years so some ARNE & CARLOS inspiration will be most welcome.
I’ve just watched a programme on bbc iPlayer called “Song of the Earth”. It is set in Norway and features an old man and his daughter experiencing Norway’s natural beauty. It is utterly transfixing. What a beautiful country you live in. I just thought I’d share that with you.
Your new fabrics look lovely, congrats on a great new design venture. You all have so many wonderful projects you work on simultaneously, very inspiring. I watched this episode while starting my second Arctic Circle mitten, better late than never!
Thank you for yet another delightful SAKFAB! I love the fabric collection and will ask my local quilt store to stock it 😊❤
The book pages are blanket stitched. (A whip stitch is fast, back to front, back to front; this is a decorative stitch. Lovely).
can't wait for the pyjama gardening, thoroughly enjoy those little snippets, they are so much fun, would love to see what you do with your bulbs
still love this tid bit glad you keep it going
thanx for sharing
Me again ! Design of fabric is truly amazing! Wow! I won’t know what to chose! Xx 😘
Look forward to seeing your renovated chairs ❤
Hopefully they will turn out great.
Always loved thrifting...lots of love to you both from Buffalo NY USA
What type of finish is the orange behind you? Satin?
It is glossy
My dog Sweet Pea gets sleepy after vacines too. We ate pork and alligator sausages for supper. We has rain but it is now nice weather here, sunny. The dog and the cat and I enjoyed the sunshine. Be safe and enjoy your travels.
I’m still working on my grandmother’s flower garden quilt.
I enjoy your videos!😊♥️
I am glad Freya made a appearanse.♥️🇯🇵✨
thank you😘
Did you mean Canadian goose? It’s a goose, goose.
It’s a goose goose situation!
I really like your fabrics. Hope to get them at a quilt store in the USA.

Love your shirt Carlos! Is that from your new materials?
We call that a blanket stitch, going around the album pages.
Thanks so much for your video! Love your new fabrics! Happy VW Beetle driving with the olden days gasoline!!
Thank you for watching Susan!
Your fabric designs are beautiful!🇦🇺
You are very creative, it's great.
Thank you!
Hi Guys! I share your love of thrifting (treasure hunting) however my husband sits in the car! Hopefully he will one day be converted like Carlos! I just purchased your Rannveig pattern and will be dying the yarn this week for it! Can’t wait to start. I love it. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks & Many Blessings
You as well!
