Prelude to the last winter project for this season

Most of my autumn/winter 16/17 creations

Project jeans - part 2

My original plan for this past week was to catch up on an embroidery project I keep neglecting, and I did do a bit on Monday so I feel a bit better about it. But on Wednesday I got this urge to continue with the jeans.

Project Jeans

The idea was born as simple as ever: I want new black jeans, I love those flared ones the weather woman on NRK wore, I will make them myself so they fit properly.

The pattern

The M&S purchasing was a bit more challenging:

It's a new year

Taal lake, on the way to the volcano

And a bit over a year since my last post.
I'm not sure why this time of year gets me blogging again, maybe it's the lingering holiday mood, maybe the slightly more relaxed, less busy days. I'm a bit disappointed with myself for not writing

The White beach, Boracay

more, I don't exactly lack things to write about or want to write, but my problem is that "inspiration" hits at times and places when I don't have the means or the time to write. I should start carrying a little notebook...Saying that, I'm not going to quit my day job yet 😂

December mood...or festive feelings

Oskar's present

December comes every year and gives the same feeling. A feeling of goodness, calm happiness (as opposed to excited wo-hoo! type)...In a way a feeling of bliss.
I've been sailing through December in a good mood until now, and given it's only one week til I fly to Cairo to celebrate New Year with my family, it's little that can go wrong here.

Loppemarked and Leather

I took up sewing about a year ago, just for fun, too much free time I suppose...

A cat...

 

Is a creature that has no feelings for you. It gets attached to the house not the people. It doesn't care whether you're gone for a long time or there all the time. It can't be trained to do tricks, that's a dog thing. It's a mean creature that can hurt you for no reasons. It smells bad and makes the house smell bad. And many other myths that poeple who never had cats keep telling you...And even through you've watched a thousand youtube videos with cats doing different "good" things, you still believe the above.

I'm still alive...

 Pfffffffuuuu.....cough...cough...cough!!! It was about time to shake the dust off and take down the cobwebs.

17th of May...with flags and pølse

 I've seen this in Oslo, huge amounts of people parading along Karl Johans street and in front the Royal palace.

Animalia

I was just sitting at some point and thinking that I've taken quite a few photos of animals during my travels.
This is a post to showcase them.

They're not great. It's difficult to make great ones with creatures that don't get the point of posing, but some of those my lens captured I find quite special.

Of course, there's your usual farm animals...
