Enjoying the vacation

I've been more places this months than I've been the whole of this year. :) Well just near home, but still around. I went to Roskilde Festival, and then afterwards visited Bjarke's parents for a couple of days, and then we went to Bjarkes brother's family in-law and lastly we went to Bjarke's brother and girlfriend. And now.... we're home, and time just doesn't stand still.
I can really feel that I have more surplus (can I use this word... I used a web translator to find it).... Anyway..
I feel that I am more motivated to do things I like, now that I took leave from the school. I'm not in a hurry any more - and I seem to get things done. :) I'm almost done with our first paid tutorial at BeMyGoth.com, and it's going to be awesome. Now I can't wait to make the next. ;P
I've started running 3-4 times a week, and it feels great. At the same time I'm counting calories to lose some more weight. I'm doing pretty great at the moment.

The paid tut is a pattern and a tutorial of a Neck Corset. Something like this....

I've made a pattern befor, but I made a new one, and I like this one a lot better! It really fits nicely now.
I just love creating things!!! :)

Ooh - When I were at Roskilde Festival I totally fell in love with this band - Bonaparte. They're a bunch of people just having fun - it seems - on stage, and I just love the music! It's silly enough for me. Check this out...





I must admit I miss going to concerts now.. I miss feeling the music. :) Guess I'll just have to make some money, so I can go and pursue concerts, wherever they appear. Yeah... that's what I'll have to do.

End Of School Fashion Show

Yaay, summer vacation! :)
We just finished our school with a fashion show today, and I think it went pretty well. :)
I'm now (or after tomorrow) officially on 'leave'.. isn't that what you call it. I'm taking half a year off, to get on top, and to work on my own things, like websites and own clothing and all that. ;P
I'll just post a couple of pictures of what we've been showing.

Yes, this is me, in my silly dress. The theme was 'the past meets the future'. And in my head it was something like a vistorian dress meeting the future, where we have to recycle everything, including clothing and stuff, so it's made of lots of leftover fabrics and plastic and stuff. It was fun to make - but not very nice to wear, because I had put plastic pieces at the neck.... And when you're nervous on a hot stage, you start to .... sweat... and plastic on hot skin... blahhh... hehe - well, I've learned my lesson there.

This dress was made as a project with 1st and 2nd semester working together. The theme was 'Dinner With The Queen'. So we all made sort of princessy dresses.

The point was that each group had 300 DKR, which is about $50 to buy all our materials. So the pink dress was made of bed linen and plastic bags. The other dresses were made out of old jeans, bought at a second hand shop, more plastic bags, old table covers, old pieces of fabric. It was a fun project. And most of all, we learned to work with each other. :)

This dress was also made with the theme 'past meets the future'. The girl here was inspired by Moulin Rouge meeting Star Wars. I thought that was awesome! ;P

There are tons more pictures, and they are published at my facebook profile here.

My boyfriend and I are pretty busy preparing for Roskilde Festival, but when we're back, we'll be constantly on the net, working on our websites. It's going to be awesome! More tutorials will be made for BeMyGoth.com and the layout will probably be altered (again) as well. ***we'll never be satisfied*** hehe....
Anyhoo - that's it for now... goodnight you. :)

Wow, it's June now

Wow - time flies really fast!
I'm almost done with this semester at school, and I'm really looking forward to the summer holidays! I'm going to Roskilde Festival with Bjarke and some friends - it's going to be awesome!!! ;P

After Roskilde, I'll have so much more time for you! For being creative, and making stuff! That'll be awesome! I'm looking forward to being sort of free. :)
Anyhoo - right now I haven't much to say - just thought I'd 'stop by and say hi'. :)

Talk to you soon

Planning

Oh, my boyfriend and I are planning big things with our internet existence! :)

You might know our site BeMyGoth.com - we're planning on a complete make-over.. And we're not doing it ourselves. We really want it up and running, and frankly, we've found ourselves to be unable to do the job properly, so we're hiring someone to do it for us. And hopefully it'll be so great that we'll see some ROI. ;P That would be SWEET!

I've had a period with illness (again) and I blame the lack of D-vitamin in my body. It causes me to be infected very easily... But now I'm on lots and lots of D-vitamin, so hopefully I won't get so easily sick in the future. ;P

I haven't made anything the last couple of days, but the creativity is springing up again, whilst getting better - so soon I'll be sewing again. (and I have an assignment in school - so I'll have to sew anyway).

Just thought I'd blabber a bit, since it had been a while.

Have a nice Sunday. :)

Back To Life

I'm finally done with the suit I've been working on. I'm having my first day off in a week or so from sewing. *phew* I'm really happy with the outcome, and I hope the one who'll own the suit, will like it as well. :)

Here are some pictures:

The Jacket

The Dress from the side.

A small pocket hidden in the seam. ;P

And a matching purse. :)








I rather enjoy making bags and purses - I think I'm going to more about that. :)

It has taken me about 50 hours to make all these things. I think I can say for sure, that I won't be a tailor, as such. I mean - I like sewing for other people, but sometimes it's just too hard work. I think I'd rather make my own collections or sell unique designs. I think that would be lots of fun. :)

Working

*phew*
Being busy is a tough one.
I'm busy sewing the suit for my boss, and tomorrow is the big "new bishop-day" at church. Pretty intense. :)

I should like to show more pictures in this blog, so I'm going to practise taking pictures and upload them (after tomorrow and after I've finished the suit). It's going to take the rest of today and tomorrow, I'm sure. :) And then I'll be some more on the internet as well.... and I really need to go out and exercise too... phew - being sick is really not good for you health or your belly...hehe.. I'll start skating, yay!

Actually I skated to work today - it was rather fun. I'm looking forward to gaining more balance though. Can be hazardous near other people...

Anyhoo - just an update.... ;P

Course Of Life

I'm kind of deciding where my life is leading me... it's a very interesting place to stand - where I am right now. I feel like I'm at a crossroad, and whichever road I take will lead me somewhere unexpected.

Yes... that's about it for now. :)

I'll keep you updated on which way I'll go.
