SUMMER WORKING AT HOME

I’M BAAAAAACK

Vacation in Provence was wonderful. Just wonderful. The weather was very very nice (30 – 35 degrees C (around 85 – 95 F)) Which is perfect when you have been cold all spring and longing for sun and have rented a house with a lovely pool. We all wore tons...

WISH YOU WERE HERE

I’m truly enjoying my vacation in Provence, France. I’ve been wearing my new tankini every day so far, and it’s holding up nicely. Today we went to a market in a village close by, and there was a yarn/fabric store. I didn’t get anything though....

FO: TANKINI

I am sooo ready for the Summer Holidays! I have been for months weeks. This time of year is always so stressful getting everything closed up before the end of the school year – and getting everything ready for starting up again in August, so with adding the...

STARTITIS AND OTHER VIRA

On Thursday afternoon last week, my voice started sounding weird. Like I had screamed a lot with out using the right technique or something like that. I have had voice coaching professionally and I know that I take good care of it, so I didn’t understand what...

NOT FO: THE OWL SWEATER

This was supposed to be an FO (finished object) post – but it turned into a UFO (Unfinished object, naturally). I had finshed knitting this sweater on May 1st. Then it just sat on my dress form while I contemplated weaving in ends and blocking it. Because...

FO: THE SILVER MINORU

It is done! Actually it has been for a few weeks, but the same day I finished it, the weather changed into freakishly warm 30 degrees celcius – and stayed there for some time (now it’s turned back to freakishly cold 12 degrees… I’d rather have...

WEEK-END WITH TINI

So this week-end I’ve been visiting my very good friend  (and podcast co-host) Tini while she was on vacation with her family in Denmark. It has actually been a year since we last saw each other and it was wonderful to be together in the same room again. There...

BAD ME-MADE-MAY’er

I should have known – and I sort of did – that May would be crazy for me and that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the posting and the picture taking etc. Saturday we had my son’s big Non-firmation party (a humanist (non-religious)...

MAY 10th (me-made-may 2012)

That’s better. This is what I wore today (Thursday May 10th): Me-made 60’s dress made from Onion 2036, black tights (would have gone for brown, but they had a hole on them), and my currently favourite heels from Ecco (they feel like I’m walking on...

MAY 3rd – 9th (me-made-may 2012)

So. I’ve had a rather bad start of Me-Made-May, I think.  I have been feeling really bad with some kind of virus, so I was really not in the mood for anything else than wearing comfortable elastic waist yoga pants and an assortment of t-shirts. So that has been...
