5: December

Read any blogs lately where you sit back with envy and astonishment at their cleverness, creativity, imaginative creations and a whole lot of "aaargh if only I had the time to do all this!! Do they even do a honest days work, that takes up most of their days!??" ??

This is to show how I believe "normal" people do all of their fancy design work. Or, it's to tell about what took place before the showing off the supreme results that makes everyone want to envy those before mentioned bloggers.

September 2009; there is a sale in Bauhaus, I get a clever idea about a very pretty wall-sticker I found.
October 2009; the idea takes form, and has most of what is needed to create it. The search for a frame-less, large-enough wall clock starts.
End of October 2009: the perfect clockwork was found and bought.

Suddenly, Christmas gifts has to be shopped and shipped. New year come and go, and the clock has been put to a cabinet, we study and life goes on.

July 2010: I start renovating and painting another room, and gain interest for a whole lot of other projects (result 1, result 2)
August 2010: "Why don't we also put that clock on the wall, now when we have so much action on the interior front" my boyfriend asks. "good idea" is my answer.
...

About a year later, the clock is finally on the wall.

And let me just teach you something from this experience: Don't let wall-stickers with this amount of detail sit in a closet too long. The HÄSSÄKKÄ to put it up is enormous. The glue is old, sticky and leaves chunks of paper where it shouldn't be. And all this time the whole project has been consisting of TWO parts: sticker+clock (*embarrassment*)

Result is pretty, and without this whole story, most people would have the reaction that I get sometimes when I read about other peoples nice looking creations on their blog.

welcome spring

Yes I know it was snowing today, and yes I know its still slippery and cold outside... its just... its about time this winter lets go. King Winter, would you so kindly take mr snow and miss ice with you, and go to the place santa claus goes to for the summer-half of the year!
And I haven't even been the one to complain about the minus 25 degrees freaky cold for lengths of time, or the piles and tonnes of snow... not even the darkness of winter time has been a big complaining topic of mine this time around. But now its enough. I want to get that feeling that I have tried to create in my hallway (the picture), and your coldness majesty can't be part of it, sorry.

Oh and by the way, grats to me for feeling very satisfied with my Basic medicine: anatomy and physiology Exam/mid term.

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.
