Ny veske!

Igår og idag fant jeg frem symaskina, tråd og stoff, og startet på en ny veske jeg har hatt lyst til å lage lenge. Startet utpå ettermiddagen og avsluttet klokka 23! Idag fikk jeg gjort den ferdig, etter litt feilsøm og oppspretting, i tillegg til litt ekstra tilleggsforandringer. Er storfornøyd med resultatet, tenker å lage en lommebok i samme stil også. En annen dag. Er så herlig å være igang med syinga igjen!

Denne er mønsteret er fra NapKitten - Sweet Summer Bag. Supert mønster og ganske gjennomført og bra forklart selv om jeg kanskje ville rettet på et par ting. Mine forandringer: glidelåsen på lokket er kortere enn i mønsteret, la til et feste til nøkkelring og en enda en innvendig lomme, og borrelås på den tre lomma under lokket. Stoffene og skulderstroppen er fra Panduro, glidelåsene både "høstet" og kjøpt, D-ringen til nøklene høstet fra en tidligere veske.

Foran.

Siden.

Oppi med nåværende lommebok.

Soool!

Endelig litt varme fra solskinn. Var jaggu på tide med litt sommer igjen.

Ovenfor er resultatene etter litt småjobbing ved hobbybordet igår. Den store er ca 6 cm høy, de små ca 3 cm. Vet ikke helt hva jeg skal gjøre med dem siden jeg bare ville prøve ut litt teknikker. Selge dem, kanskje? Får se. Neste prosjekt blir en veske jeg har villet lage lenge nå.

Og den middagen vi var på igår? Hais trodde vi hadde blitt invitert av moren til en kompis av oss. Men tingen var at nummeret sto i hennes navn... Vi hadde en kjempetrivelig kveld med god mat og film, det var hyggelig å se Markus igjen. Og vi måtte flire da vi innså hvordan det hele egentlig hang sammen. Og denne barndomshelten jeg snakket om? Vel, alt jeg vel egentlig behøver å si er navnet til moren nevnt lenger opp: Eli Rygg. :)

Nå: lese mer i boka mi om "Faeries and other magical beings" mens jeg nipper til litt soda fra Kremmerhuset. Nam!

Endelig!

Ja, endelig kan jeg holde på med det jeg like aller best, være kreativ! Leksepulten er transformert tilbake til hobbybord og jeg har kost meg masse med nytt og gammelt stæsj. Bare se! 

Her er alt mulig rart, til og med erteplantene mine som jeg plutselig oppdaget idag at de faktisk bærer frukt! Ja, for rent teknisk er erter en frukt, ihvertfall det jeg har lært siste semester med naturfag. 

Anywho, skal legge ut bilder etterhvert av de ferdige produktene, akkurat nå er det tørking på gang. Og egentlig er det bare fint at det regner ute, da er det ikke noe hastverk med å komme seg ut. Ikke engang bikkja vil ut i dette været! Diva... Men da er det jo fint jeg fikk kjøpt meg regntøy uka som var!

Amee og Tezla krangler fremdeles. Ok, rett skal være rett, Amee er fremdeles sinna på Tezla. Men det går rette veien, det er ikke store bruduljene før hun lar Tezla være litt i fred igjen. Men så snart nykomlingen våger seg frem fra gjemmestedet sitt under kommoden, så er det på'n igjen. Jaja, 

Og ja, jeg har begynt å skrive på norsk igjen. Jeg har blitt Gudinneblogger (yay!), og da får man holde seg til morsmålet. Men vil oppsummere innleggene på engelsk likevel. Og ikveld skal husbond og jeg på middag til en barndomshelt! Dét kommer jeg nærmere tilbake til imorra! Vi gleder oss masse, ihvertfall!

Finally I have the chance to be creative again! Just look at the wonderful mess on my desk. The ferrets are stil going at it, Amee being pissed at Tezla for being here. Hopefully they'll bury the hatchet soon. I have also started as a blogger at Gudinne.no, the site for all Godesses! And the hubby and I are having dinner with a childhood hero today as well, I'll update on that tomorrow! 

Photos!

Oooh, I dear hubby sent me this photo of the book I got in the mail today! Can't wait to get home and start looking through it! I finally managed to hook up my phone with g+... So I can share photos more easily.

This is the book I mentioned in the earlier post. Still reading it, and loving it!

And here we have our newest member of the family - Tezla! With my half-nutty hubby in the background... 

Amee managed to be alone for barely a couple of months before Tezla came along. And Amee is damned if she'll ever befriend that white newcomer! So we have a small war in our livingroom at least a few times a day. But we are hopeful that Amee sooner or later will finally accept Tezla.

 In the middle of this we have Tix, our two year old Chihuahua. As long as the ferrets don't get too close, she doesn't care about them. But her experience with Amee tells her to be on her guard...

Freedom!

Allriiiight! Finally I've had my last exam and I'm free from school and homework for the next two months. Well, almost. I got one of the books I ordered on Amazon in my mailbox yesterday, and I've been reading some of it. I bought it with next stemester in mind, when I'm going to Copenhagen to study "Myths and Fairytales". Can hardly wait!

Anywho, the book I got is "A complete guide to faeries and magical beings" by Cassandra Eason. And the book we were told to get before starting, is named "The uses of enchantment". Am I going to Hogwarts, or what?! :D I'm still waiting for that last book and a couple more books I ordered. So I guess I'll be reading this summer... 

But I can't forget my crochet or my dear sewingmachine either. Yesterday I found my crochetneedles and made a Hello Kitty for a collegue who mentioned for me a couple of days ago she needed a keyring for her work-key. Something Hello Kitty. So I made her one. 

Right now I have no photos (again), so I have to put them in when I come home. But what I CAN say, is that it looks like it's going to be a good summer. :)

Holy moley

I had all but forgotten about my dear little blog! My goodness... One reason is that blogspot didn't work in China. Or Facebook. Anywho, a quick recap since my last entry:
- China was a great experience. The 6 weeks just flew past. We learned a bunch of things, about China, about Beijing, about traditions and culture, about differences and likelinesses, and about ourselves. I'm so glad I got to go with the 5 girls I did on that trip!
- Being a tourist in Beijing was also something to really write home about. We saw tons of ancient buildings, shopped til we dropped at the giant malls or the Silkmarket, ate delicious chinese food and just had a good time.
- Back home school continued, spring eventually showed its pale face and we started with trips outdoors, learning about plants, the woods, canoeing and lots more. Then the strike hit us, luckily with only one trip left  cancelled.
- Today I had my nature/science written exam! I won't get an A on that one, but I'm sure I won't fail either.
- Now I have one exam left this semester. Hopefully the strike ends before the weekend so we can have our spoken exam in physical science and be done with it. I don't want them to postpone it for later in the summer!
- And in August I'm leaving for a 6 new weeks, Copenhagen this time, and the course "Myths and Fairytales". Love the title of the course, and of the main book: "The uses of Enchantments". An international course with the first 6 weeks there, and the next 6 weeks here in Oslo. We'll be making puppets, little films, our own stories and much more. Yay!

So yes, things are happening and have happened. And I really need to keep my head and remember this blog more often. Have sooo many plans and ideas for both the near and the distant future, I need to start keeping track. I've haven't touched my sewingmachine since January, and the crochet-needles havent seen daylight in close to a year. I miss making things! But school and work take all my time, as well as spending time with my dear hubby, our dog and our ferret. Yes, Bulder had to be put down in April, the old thing. But Amee seems to be thriving as the only ferret in the household, teasing the dog and doing her stuff.

I know the last post have been stripped of photos. But I will search around for a few when time is more on my side. Wish I could put out photos directly from my iPad! Hm, maybe try to figure that out.
