Easter competition participant

I read alot of different blogs, and many of them is related to interior and decor. One of them is this: Vintage kompagniets blog who is currently holding a easter give-away. Its a Danish online store that sells great amounts of interior decorating items, many with vintage look, and quite many items that actually IS vintage, from French flea markets and antique stores.

I like the style indeed very much, but its hard to implement it into our post-modern rectangular block of a home...And also, a few small items here and there is not neccesarily making the look complete ;) but I include things according to our home colours etc.
And I'm indeed liking the give-away, these are the stuff that is up for "grabs" (or rather: winning ;)) I mean, just look at that gorgeous handcotcheted lace!

By the way, what is a "gækkebrev"? As I read Danish fluently, its silly to see that there is one item that I have no clue what it is, even if the picure can describe it.... The two rolls of handmade paper there on the right, is the gækkebreve. I cant say we have something equivalent in the Norwegian language.

Nåh. anyways. Thanks to Tina, the owner of the blog, in holding a nice little give-away attention gathering.

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*

ønskeliste del 4: Andre hobbysaker

Jeg fikler jo med mange saker, helst på en gang!

SØLV! Smykker har jeg masse ideer, men ikke gjort så mye i det siste. Iallefall så kunne det være fint å få teste sølvleire, Om ArtClay, kjøpes for eksempel her: finsk/svensk butikk. Andre eksempler er sølvtråd og duppedingser som feks låser og hekter. Sølvtråden bør være 1mm tykk, da jeg lager alle lenkene og øskenene selv.

GARN! jeg har eksperimentert med å hekle og strikke, denne gangen etter mønster og ikke bare funnet på det selv etterhvert som arbeidet tar form. Mest går det i ull og ullblandinger, noe mohair og kanskje litt alpaca. En skjelden gang har jeg også jobbet med bomullsgarn. Helt syntetisk har jeg ikke klart å kjøpe engang, selvom det er billig, med unntak av "eyelash" garn.

STRIKKEPINNER! Jeg har noe, men langt fra alle størrelser. De jeg mangler er rundpinner i de mindre tykkelsene, og sånne helt gigatjukke lange "spyd" nesten. Fullstendig liste er kanskje litt dumt å ramse opp nå.
