Personal record of finishing a project!

Its "bikkjekaldt" here in Finland again, and my boyfriend has the coolest hair, hence an aversion to warm winter hats. Voila! Lisa fixes something to atleast keep the ears from falling off due to the cold.

It took me 6 episodes of Fringe, about 4-5 hours.

Watch here

Its the fastest I've ever done something from start to end(postcards and other small things don't count!) *proud*

so many ideas, so little time

I have had so much stuff on my plate lately, with two distance studies and a 6hr day job. And ofcourse; the mandatory autumn/early winter flu. All of the ideas I have had while sweating over the schoolbooks, drowzing at the couch with fever and aching muscles....

I have been so inspired lately by this genious lady, that the sewingmachine is yelling at me from the corner.

But now!
Flu is over, two mid-terms is done, and a weekly spendage of atleast 2 hours of train-time(back and forth to my new course/study), gives plenty of time. Whay more than last couple of months. I can knit on my armwarmers/jacket details, read some of the little bit more ficiton related litterature, draw up new stuff to (dream about to one day) sew, rewrite my messy lecture notes....Train is fantastic.

And the days when Im not travelling to another municipality to attend classes, I can make the bigger stuff, the patterns and experiment with making stuff like that doo-dad on the right(made by Tim Holtz, Ranger inks which by the way, has a line of products that would be appreciated under the christmas tree, please tell santa if you see him!), or spend quality time with my lovley boyfriend!

And workout sessions! hiphei! I can regulary attend again!

...a little closer

...to be finishing up the bedroom upgrading. Found some lamps in a box under the bed, that needed some pimping before they got stuck to the wall. Nice shape, but scuffed off frosted looking "silver" didnt really match the exquisite wall painting(if I may be so bold...)



add some squishy dabs of tigerpaint and fiddle with some newspaper pages = get something matching to the style :D
Thay have white frosted glass upwards pointed shades. It would be just best if the electrical cords would be black... to sort of hide or bled in better, but I currently don't have such just lying about(in boxes under the bed)
