lajvigt
svenska!
Jag skrev så sällan och det kändes lite opersonligt när jag skrevpå engelska så nu blir det bara en liten översättning i botten av inläggen om jag tycker att det behövs.
Jag vart tvungen att springa sist när jag höll på att lägga in en massa bilder. Men här kommer dem.
Först ut är alltså dockan från Stich. Hon har fortfarande inget ansikte och inga kläder men det ska nog bli tid för det också.
Jag har tänkt att hon ska få en knallrosa klänning men Z ville att hon skulle ha jeans och keps och va lite hiphop. Jag kanske får sy båda varianterna. Först ska hennes ben flyttas lite för hon sitter inte så bra som jag skulle vilja att hon gjorde.
Sen är det en dålig bild på mina fina nymålade naglar. Jag har använt mitt nailstamping set. Som jag köpte för nått halvår sen. Då tyckte jag att det var lite väl krångligt att göra själv och att det nog var värt att gå till en salong om man ville ha värsta naglarna. Men nu när jag är pank är det skittrevligt att kunna göra värsta naglarna själv.
Och till sist en bild på hur söt min lilla gris är när hans tråkiga mamma har målat naglarna hur länge som helst. Och tyvärr även hur stökigt mitt köksbord blir ibland. Hu!

Sun is shining!
I have been making a doll from a free patern from the blogg stich.
Very fun doll to make. It looks like a cartoon, so cute. My doll haven't got a face yet but She will soon. I have so many pics I have taken this few days when I haven't been posting I still take lots of pics and think I shuld post them but then I have to do something and I forget. Or lately I just sit and stare because the wether have been so depresing and I don't need much lately to fall. But I am reading a book by Mia Törnblom and it is great! I am doing all the things it says to do and feeling so much better, slowly but steady.
But to the pics: here they come and I will put them in small since they are so many, you can click them to see them bigger.
First is christmas beeing put away, I know it's late but it was not that much. So I got used to it, but no more! Here comes spring. First valentine then easter. And the sun is shining! boy do I get exited about that! It's been so grey the last week.
Second is another corner of my home. The corner where the Stressless chair is standing. it is mostly the dog that sleeps in the chair and we hardly ever sit there even though it is such a comfortable chair. But I have tried moving it around and we still don't use it. All our guests do though so it gets to stay. But in the corner beside it we have made a little instalation. It is a budda head from Mio that was flaking in the paint so Z got it real cheap. And then I spray painted it gold. the candles were bought for
haloween but haven' t run out yet. Once again the painting is from my grandmother.And the dog wants to be in on the fun to as I said it's mostly his chair.

Eggs
But I went down to the giftshop here and she said people don't decorate for easter in Sweden no more!!! I am so disapointed but I feel very good about asking. It was very hard for me and she sounded like she felt sorry for me even though I really tried my hardest to not seem needy. I was brave anyway and I'm not giving up. Now I'm thinking of starting an etzy shop for the eggs but mostly for the jewlery. I'll see. Again, sorry about the picture.
The bookshelf.
But the bookcase is fab. I love the dark wood in the bedroom, the old bookcase was white and I never thought it bothered me untill it was gone and the bedroom became so much calmer at once. Even with the horrible mess changing a bookcase in our tiny bedroom means. Our bedroom is not really a room it's 210cm x 270cm and our bed is 200cm x 160cm so basicly we have 2 squaremeters to furnish and move around in. I must say it works suprisingly well.
I just had to run and take some pics of the bedroom since the cloth that usually hangs between the bedroom and livingroom is taken down to be cut i half. So now you can see the entire bedroom from the livingroom. So how to comment my bedroom.... Well the "ceeling" is built by Z from bambu sticks and a painted bambu carpet, it's decorated with flowerlights from Ikea and matching flowerlights on the wall. The paintings are made by my late grandmother and they shall be moved when Z gets to borrow the powerdrill from his father.
The budda on the bedstand is from ÖB which is a sort of reject shop. I had a fantasic idea when Z just could not for his life put his necklaces away so I put them on the budda and now it looks stylish even though he leaves them there. The best sollution is always compromising, makes everybody happy. The big brass armring is full of change that he leaves on the bedstand.
I will continue to give you parts of my home as I clean it of because right now it's all a mess!

New bookcase!
My Favorite bloggs!
Ok, so I am puting upp a short list of my fav bloggs and I will give them a short presentation and then later as I add new blogs to the list you will get a presentation of them too. And there will be more.
But the first and most favorite are:
The Yvestown Blogg: A wonderfully creative woman called Yvonne who lives in the Netherlands. Her colors are such inspiration. She has a way of making her home look light, fun and warm all at once. And she is the one I turn to to try and not paint everything in crazy colors, a white base is best for the fun stuff.
Irish Sally Garden: Rebecca and Dan are living a sustainable lifestyle i Ireland and I just have to say, I want that! I don't get jealous a lot but this is just how I want to live my life. And the blog is very nice and honest, it tells of all the upps and downs and how some of the yucky stuff (like the compost lou) turns out to be rather pleasant or at least not so yucky. Rebecca is also a crafter and used to have a crafting blog but now her crafting turns up on this blog instead. I also recomend the links from her site to all the other people doing it too. It gives me such hope that so many can do it themselves. Now I have to convince Z to come live in the forest with me.
Be*mused: A very nice blog of a crafter. I like the fotos of her quilting projects and her natural way of including her everyday life in her blog but still have it be about crafting. It's one of those blogs that made me want to start a blog myself.
Middle of nowhere: Sweet woman called PG paints the most astounding pictures. And writes about things that happen in her life. Her pictures are childish but beautiful and somehow they have a distant sorrow that you feel more than see. I really love them and since I study art history I could go on forever but if you just go to her site you will see for yourself.
and last but not least:

Bilder!
Och som extra grädde på moset får ni bilder på min nya pärm som jag gjort till alla tidningsbilder jag sparar på som inspiration till mitt framtida hus! Den är klädd i ett handgjort papper från Ikea som min snälla mamma köpte till mig i går. På insidan satte jag två av bilderna som pärmen är till för. Jag är mycket nöjd med resultatet! Särskillt som jag redan lagt ned massa tid och decopagé-lim på att täcka den i servetter som bara blev helt genomskinliga.
Nu ska jag nog göra en till min bröllopsinspiriation.
Men den bästa bilden är på två kompisar till mig och Z som satte på sig ögon utklippta från ett reklamblad igår när de hälsade på.

Dockor!
Om nån är alldeles för rik och obegripligt givmild så önskar jag mig Ebe från limited edition nudes.
Bilder på min mindre ansenliga docka med klänning kommer senare i dag.
