My roses are doing their best to bloom, despite the wet conditions they have to deal with. And I do have to give it to them... they really do make the most of it.
My roses range in a colour from white, light pink, hot pink to deep burgundy. I also like to surround myself with a wide range of colours, but when it comes to my bedroom, it is mostly creamy white.
This summer I have crocheted an all creamy cushion cover, in a (to me) new yarn of cotton and acrylic blend. I do usually prefer all natural fibers (be it fabric or yarn) but I do like the texture (and creamy colour) of this particular one.
The yarn (Tuva from Trysil Garn), feels soft and delicate to the touch. I have been so taken by this particular yarn that I have even started to knit (another!) cushion, in garter stitch. The result of this particular one is to be revealed later..
Delicate is also the word that comes to mind when I look at my pretty (but oh, so soggy) roses; Felicité Parmentier, Queen of Denmark and Henri Martin. Lovely "old fashioned" roses with the most delicate scent.
Thank you for all your lovely comments since my return to blogging. I do treasure each and every one of them.

I wish I could just walk into your home and garden! It always looks such a calm, cosy place to be! Have a good weekend Mia, Ada :)
Mia, I agree with you about generally preferring to use all natural fibres, but am now intrigued about trying a cotton/acrylic blend. I would imagine it being perhaps a bit lighter, fluffier, softer than an all cotton yarn? Your creamy white crocheted cushion is a lovely summer addition.
Best wishes. xo
Beautiful images - how clever you are to have crocheted the cushion cover! I have always wanted to learn how to crochet, but alas have never managed to dedicate the time! Your roses look beautiful - an all round lovely post/blog!
Best wishes,

Hi, Mia!!!
Welcome back! I've really missed you. The photos and stories from your life brighten my day and I often think of you. The yarn of cotton and acrylic looks very nice and well designed to wash and maintain. The colors are gorgeous in your home!
I am so happy to read you again, So:
Välkommen till bloggvärlden AGAIN!!!!
Yours posts and your créativity missed to me so much! You give me some sun in my journeys so i just can tell you MERCI!!!(yes, i'm french woman and very sorry of my bad level in english and i hope that the few words in noorway language means "bienvenue sur la blogosphère" or "welcome in blogoland")
Jeg er så glad for at du er tilbake! Har virkelig savnet den fine og inspirerende bloggen din!
Klem Benedicte
Pretty, pretty, pretty!!! =D

Just found out today, by pure chance that my favourite blog has appeared again...I relly loved Mia's blog, it was the first one I used to look out for...so I should be happy that it has come back...but...I can't help remembering the feeling of sadness, then wondering if something had happened, and going back again and again to check...I do understand that one can tire of blogging and that one can have all the reasons in the world to decide to close one's blog...but why without just one world of farewell?
I'm sorry, but the magic has gone and I won't be following this blog ...farewell Mia

Mia, is there an online source for the little round granny squares that you use for most of your pillows? I have done some simple crochet and I am inspired to try making pillows for gifts. I've only found patterns for blanket size squares. Your white pillow is truly lovely.

Hi Chicago Gran! You can find the pattern (similar to the one I use) for the "round granny square" here: solgrim.blogspot.no/2009/06/sirkel-i-kvadrat.html
Good luck!

Hei Renate!
Takk for hyggelig forespørsel. Ja, jeg kan godt ta imot bestilling (spørs litt hva det er, selvfølgelig). Skulle du være interessert, kan du sende meg mail på mia (dot) landliv (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Tusen tusen takk for den nydelige puten som kom i posten i dag =) Var enda finere i virkeligheten <3
