Hey Everyone! Hope you’re doing well – again sorry for escaping off the face of the earth – it happens from time to time with a little baby… ahem toddler on your hands. She’s grown so much, can hardly believe it’s nearly been a year.   Anyway I thought maybe you’d like to see what [...]

So I love leggings at the moment, but it means I need to combo a lot of my shorter tops with skirts or dresses underneath so I don’t camel-toe terrify the entire populus of Sweden.  I’ve been on a crafting kick lately and so my cunning plan was to use one of Toomaj’s old jumpers [...]

Firstly this is just a quick, crappy text only post.  Last night just before I was off to the land of nod my pc had a lovely run-in with the Think Point Trojan. It managed to get me to think it was ‘Microsoft Security Essentials’ (though I blame sleepytime Emybloom), and a restart of my [...]

So one of the places I went with Sophie was to visit Greta Garbo’s Grave in Skogskykogården, a world heritage site in it’s own right.  While there my camera got a much needed outing, and I found myself drawn to photographing mushrooms (go figure!).  I’m hoping Sophie won’t mind this picture of her on my [...]

To explain this post a little.  It was originally posted by me in a Livejournal community a couple of years ago (before I met Toomaj and moved to Sweden).  There are a lot of tutorials on how to do this on you-tube these days, but I felt like sharing this regardless. Snip snip! Front Back [...]

So this is the second part of the tutorial.  By changing the folding method halfway through you can create a slightly different shape, which I’m going to be using for my bouquets.  You can of course play around and create a mass of differing shapes depending on what you fancy – it’s all up to [...]

So, I’m rather fond of the DiY and crafting approach to most things – you may have seen these flowers earlier on this blog – but I was asked on another forum to post how I made them – so I figured why not post it here too I didn’t use another tutorial on this [...]

So it’s maybe been done before, or kinda pointless for people with memories/large nail polish collections, etc etc.  But this evening I put together this little buddy to help me when I’m out shopping for polishes so I don’t end up with 2 of the same! Essentially I took a piece of plastic from some [...]
