My first day off in such a looong time!!

I can't believe I'm not working today. Finally I have some time to do real cozy things; stuff that I have not had time to do in a very long time. Am loving it :D
I am planning to post pages from my "journal" (made today) soon, and be a more active blogger from now on. I just don't understand why I'm not spending more time with this. I'm not really THAT busy, am I?

My first "Dammit doll"

Nice, isn't it?

When you want to kick the desk or
throw the phone and shout
Here's a little dammit doll
you cannot do without.
Just grasp it firmly
by the legs,
and find a place to slam it.
And as you whack its stuffing out,
yell "dammit, dammit, dammit!!"

This year soon to be over..

Pages in my so called art journal...I just bought "gesso" (but I don't really know if it really is what others call gesso)
But believe me; I had FUN playing with it!!


A fluffy purse for my cousin (for christmas). She loves pink!! Of course I filled it with some goodies :) These are so easy to make; and a good idea for how to use your left over yarn.

I'm back!!

Have been so busy lately; moving into a new apartment, working, and christmas. I've had a wonderful time. And so many great christmas-presents :D
I'll post some pictures very soon, and more art journal pages.
See you!
and... somebody should make a comment on my previous post here. Don't be shy!!

Pay It Forward

“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”

Art Journal Pages

My mother said this drawing looks like it is made by a 10 year old... Is that a compliment?

East African Banana Jam (Marmelade)

I have this nice African Cookbook; so I just had to try and make this Jam-thing.
It turned out a success; I love the taste!! Am planning to give it to someone special for christmas.

You can always ask for the recipe if you feel like :D



Oh; and I've received this wonderful tea's from Bookcrossers in Finland and the Netherlands (and incense; I love incense); making this a good day.

I didn't go to school today; thought I had to prepare myself for a job interview tomorrow (at IKEA). The woman who called said it is gonna be some kind of audition; making me feel a bit scared. 20 other people are coming; and I want that job!!

Well; so I have been preparing for that; thinking about what kind of questions they might ask me, and I guess I'll be just fine :) But "stand on your toes for me" (African way of saying: keep your fingers crossed); just in case...!! OK?

Oh, and I had some fun with my "art journal". (I was inspired by ihanna; and the links she put in her blog today.. TAKK, Ihanna :D ).
