Blueberry And White Chocolate Muffins

I went to visit a friend of mine for the first time today. It was rather nice. :)
We watched 4 episodes of 'WitchBlade', surfed a bit on the internet, and played around with photoshop. It was a really nice visit.
When I got home, I made muffins. Sort of secretly, because I only wanted Bjarke to see them after they were finished. It was blueberry and white chocolate muffins - inspired by our (now unfortunately discontinued) favourite chocolate... white chocolate with blueberries... mmmm!!!
And I took a picture of my creation (still learning to take pictures of everything... ;P)

They sort of look like rye bread on the outside, but I think it might have to do with the blueberry juice... :) They were really really tasty, yum!
Bjarke ate two, and he's blaming me for his sugar rush... hehe... I'm glad he likes them. ;P

Nail Polish

I just painted my nails......
I woke up around 5.30 am, lay in bed, tried to sleep some more, but couldn't, so I got up around 6 o'clock, and started doing my hair, make-up, and I painted my nails. :)
I'm going to work at 9.00, so I felt I had good time - I even had time to take pictures of my nails, and post a little blog post here - yay. :)

I must admit I have become very fascinated by VioletLeBeaux homepage, and the things she does. So I'm trying out a lot of things in her tutorials - such as nail for example. Se had a lot of pictures of 'transitional nail polishing', and I tried it - I just covered it with glitter afterwards. I think it's cool.

Ta-daa! :)

Getting On With My Blogspace

I just wanted to add a picture of my new 'inspiration board'. Also inspired from VioletLeBeaux.com. Although made a bit 'darker' in style. ;P

I've printed our pictures of things I want in the future, so that I can maintain focus when I am about to lose my way. ;P
I think it's really pretty. I'll make another one for my sewing space, I think - I just need to buy a cork board, because this one is just wood covered with fabric, so you can't pin anything on it.

I am truly enjoying making everything prettier. Yay! It makes me happy.

Creating A Blogspace

I know I said that I would wait till I could get some before and after pictures, but I just wanted to show you what I've done for now.. he, can't wait. ;P
I have a mini table for my computer screen, and it's really not pretty, so I put some fabric on..
Here it is as it was:

And here it is as it is now:

I'd say it's a lot prettier now. :)

Here's a picture of my 'blogspace' as it was:

As you can see it's not that inspiring, so I thought it would help with some decorating. And it's helping already, although I'm not finished.
I'm going to do some more decorating today. It's going to be prettyyyy.  Yay

Shirt Inspired By Knitted Neckwarmer

A couple of weeks ago I knitted a neckwarmer (I know it's not really season yet, but I just needed a small project, that I could finish pretty quickly). The pattern came from an Etsy Shop - Although it was free. :) The link is:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/18297293/pif-victorian-neckwarmer-knitting
And I really really liked the outcome! :) And that neckwarmer was the first piece of knitting I ever blocked, and the effect was amazing! :) I'm definitely blocking when I can!
I used my iron with steam and it worked really well.

Here's a picture of it.

I'm using it this winter - it's so pretty! :)

I really liked the button part, which I decided should be at the side, and I laid awake one early early morning and thought of a design for a shirt - I only knew that it should have buttons at the neck like this neckwarmer. But unfortunately I have a pretty... um... big chest, and turtlenecks don't look good on me. So I figured that I could make a faux neckline, and still get a tutleneck shirt with buttons and all. Yay, And here's what came to be:

I think I'll be wearing that shirt alot. :)

I've been working with my 'blogspace' as Violet from VioletLeBeaux.com calls it. I've put fabric around the mini table that my screen rests on, and made a note board'ish thing with fabric, lace and plastic gems. It's really pretty ;P
I've just been doing TONS of stuff today, so it's pretty late now - just thought I'd start sharing. I've been taking a lot of pictures of my new creations that I'd like to show you, but I think I'll wit till I finish my blogspace, so I can show some 'Before/After' pictures. Yay.. It nice getting things done! And I haven't cried today - which is a good thing I suppose.

Uuh, I also finished a skirt today. :) And made cookies... and cleaned the house, and washed the dishes. :) Yes, I've been a busy bee. Aah, I can sleep soundly in a couple of minutes... mmm :)

Goodnight for now - I'll be back tomorrow.

Epiphany!

I just realised what blogging is!!!! hahahahaaaa! (I know it's silly - but sometimes your brain just does something weird, you know)

Blogging is just like living your life the best way you can - doing stuff you like and find interesting, and then you write about that... your life! Wow.... *sits back and stares amazed out into the nothingness*

New Layout

I find it hard to become truly really satisfied with a layout that is already made. And I keep getting inspired of other blogs I see, and get sort of envious. I don't think it's good, because I waste a lot of time fixing the layout and stuff.

Well, it might be because I change my style all the time too. One day I'm in mood for pink, and another day I'm in the mood for green and orange, and yet another day for black... *sigh*...

It can be difficult being me.

Well - yesterday I changed the layout for this new one, made by Lauren at Nymphont.com. I spent hours looking for a new layout that I thought I'd be happy with, and this is what I chose. :) Thank you, Lauren!

I've decided to delete my old twitter account, because I made it for 'business reasons' 1½ year ago, and got tons of followers and followed tons myself. But as I didn't really use it, I thought it would just be a nuisance trying to keep track of all the people I followed now.  So I made a new one, and thought that I'll try to learn it anew, and only follow interesting people and people I know. :)

I'm looking more and more on other blogs, and I realize that I'm a real newbie at this. hehe. Well, I do write about my life and stuff, but it should be interesting, yes? Well, I guess I'll just read on, and learn by doing. My goal is to write a post a day, but I won't get my expectations too high - I'll just disappoint myself... :) So I'll write as much as I feel like - Yes - That sounds better, and more realistic.

I'd like to show pictures as well, and perhaps make some tutorials. :) Well, I'll just take it one day at a time, and see what happens.

First time up at 10 am...

I haven't really been able to get up in the morning last week or this week. I've been kind of 'low'... But I'm working on it. Talked with Bjarke yesterday about me not coming outside enough. Because I usually walked a lot, but now that I'm not going to school or anything, I don't really go out and walk.
So I'll go more out, just to walk. :) That should help.
Today Bjarke woke me up at 10 am by calling from school. So I actually got up today, hooray! :)

Anyhoo - I got a picture of my friend and her new bags, that I made.

It was a nice birthday party she had, and she got a lot of nice gifts. :)
It was just really nice seeing her again, really.

I've also just finished the ugliest knitted socks! :) I haven't made socks since I was a kid, so it was a bit of a trial, but fun. ;P I'm actually wearing them right now, because it's become a bit colder, and it's raining outside...

But they are truly hideous... hehe, but in a good way I'd say. ;P

Holiday over. aaahh! :)

Finally the holidays are over. Knowing that I was getting the next ½ year off, I've been doing too much these holidays. Seen a lot of family-in-law, and friends, and been too much out in weekends. ;P
Today I'm going to my friends birthday, where me and my boyfriend will sleep over (because it's pretty far away) until tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also looking forward to going home, and relax the next week. :)
Bjarke (my boyfriend) has started school, so I have daytime for myself - which is just what I need, I think! :) I'm not completely used to it yet, but I think the time will be used for creative 'thinking' and 'acting' ;P
I've finished the Neck Corset Tutorial for BeMyGoth.com, but we just need to find a way how to sell it. ;P I think we're starting out with paypal.
Here's a look at the neck corset:

I'm not sure about the fabric of this particular piece, but then again - it's just been used for the tutorial.

I like the one on the former picture better. ;P

I've started making some bags - I made some for my friend (for her birthday), so I've had them wrapped, but I'll take pictures when she has unwrapped them. :) Forgot to take pictures...

Well - I'm going to get ready 'for departure', so this is it for now. Hopefully I'll be here more often, now that I have the time. I just need to learn to get up in the morning. ;P

See ya
