Have had a lot on my mind the last 2 months, but this is a little update on what has been going on.

Making plans on crochet a hat. So I bought some new light grey yarn.

We dressed up as teenage werewolfs!

Finger waves and lovely hats!

So I tried to do my first finger waves! It didn't turn out as I wanted, but I guess its just to do it over and over until I get them perfect! 

I didn't have any hair products at home so these are just made with some water.

Old familyphotos!

I found these old family photos that I wanted to share with you!

First one, my great grandparents (Harry and Valborg) and my granddad (Hans). 

Around Christmas 1946.

My gorgeous grandparents on their wedding day in 1964.

And here you got me, in my folk costume. I think in 1996.

 

 

First go at the new sewing machine and first time making clothes!

Yes, I have at last used my new sewing machine! About time! And when I started I couldnt stop until I was done. And here is the result. The top I came up with myself and the skirt is from a basic 80s pattern. I only had a black zipper at home, so I will exchange that for another one soon. This is not very well done cause I havnt used a sewing machine since I was in school (more than 10 years) and I have never made clothes. So Im quite proud! Im not sure If I should make pockets for the skirt?

Sorry about the messy background and the dirty mirror!

 

Me and my shoes.. oh my!

Yes, Im a shoe girl. I love shoes. All sorts! So now three new pairs are on their way home to me. Two pair of the same model but in different colours. And, a pair of Jeffrey Campbells, not so vintage but I could not resist, they where 70% off.

 And, at last.. THE MONSTER SHOES!!!!

They will probably just stand on a shelf in my house and look really cool.
