As I wrote here one of my goals for next year is being more creative. I thought about how I am going to force it out of me and came up with this list of 12 things to do. One for each month of the year, quite doable right!? Because when it all comes down to it I think I should do a new project every week but don`t think I could keep it up.

So if I feel like doing more I just think of it as bonuses.

 

Here is the list. I didn`t want to restrain myself more than necesseary so I can pic the things to do in any order I feel like.

 

 

 

It`s just pure pain to blog on this computer right now. So I won`t be blogging normal until my new computer is up an running. It`s in the mail right now and will probably be in my hands Wednesday or Thursday.

I wish everyone to have a great new years eve whatever you are doing! I will be spending it with my dear friend Ninni and her boyfriend Johnny as my love is working the graveyard shift taking care of the poor people at the hospital.

 

Lets hope there will be many new doors opening in 2013

 

Just popped in to wish all my dear readers a Merry Christmas. I hope you all will have a nice time with your loved ones and relax as much as possible. Tomorrow I probably won`t post anything. After all I am working before I can get home and get ready for the celebration that will take place at my parents in law.

To not leave you without any pictures. Here are my Christmas nail design. Needed to cheer up my short nails destroyed from work. Do you like them?

 

 

 

So I finally got the Lime Crime goodies I ordered at the Black Friday sale.

And Wow! I am so happy. Just look at the color of this lipgloss. It`s perfection. The prettiest red I ever saw. I don`t think I have ever worn a more beautiful color on my lips. I can just imagine how it looks under some rays of sunlight. Right now I am glad just to have caught some daylight to show it off to you in.

I will be needing a lip liner though. It bleeds a tiny bit and it will show to well on my pale skin.

 

None of the pics have been altered in photoshop. All natural light and colors in these.

  

 

I also got the silver eyeliner. But I havent had the opportunety to try it yet. It looks good on the swatch I did on my hand at least! Maybe I will make a post about it later.

Yesterday was Lucia. We got up early to watch the celebration on tv and had Lucia buns & gingerbread cookies for breafast all curled up in the sofa under the blanket. It was very cosy.

Afterwards we decided to go for a walk. It was seriously cold -18 Celsius to be precise. But so absolutely breathtaking beautiful. The frost coverd everything and the sun made it all glitter. A magic wonderland.

 

 

 

But yesterday wasn`t all about snow and Lucia. We had tickets to see The Hobbit. I almost never thought the day would come! And I of course loved it. I didn`t remember too much from when I read the book long, long ago. But it didn`t matter.

I wish I hadn`t seen it in 3D though. It just gave me a hard time focus and I had to take off the glasses several times because the where so heavy and made my nose hurt really bad. When I did, the movie was so much brighter and so much easier to take in as a whole. If I was to see it one more time I would definitly not seen it in 3D. Just a thought for you who haven`t seen it yet.

 

These days I have been a busy little bee. Not a moment to blog. But it is only positive stuff going on so I can`t complane.

Tuesday I had the day off besides a work dinner at the evening. So Christian and I spent the whole day together out in our little town.

This was my outfit of choice this day: my new, super warm winter coat and my beloved Demona boots. With some lacy purple leg to go with it.

Lately I have been thinking of the past year and the one coming soon. I probably should think more of christmas in these times but next year seemes to me so much more exiting.

2012 have been in all a ok year but with ghosts of the wrong kind lurking around. I have let them cotrol me to much and I have not been getting the results I have been wanting.

If you remember I have this year been wanting to care less what others think and do more of the stuff that makes me happy. Next year I will take it to the next level. 

To get there I have been pinning goals in my head and now I will finally put them to words.

 

Outside the snowflakes are going crazy. It will be a challenge walking to work. But I don`t mind. I love the festive feeling it gives. And staying inside under my cosy plaid is even better now!

Yesterday was all about sowing.... And in the end it did not turn out the way I wanted it to. The fabric I used did not behave like I wanted. And Instead of a flattering skirt in lovely black and white stripes I got something that looked like a stiff lampshade. I will try it once more with a petticoat under. But if that don`t work I will have to surender and give it up. I have other sowing plans though. I just have to get around to buing more fabric, stuffing and eyes!

 

 

I barely survived this weekend. With a bad cold I "had" to work... The fever was kind and only tormented me at night so I was well enough to go to work during day.(not really, but) 

All energy was used up when I got home and the only thing I managed to do was sitting under my plaid and turn pages in a book.

Today I feel better and the weather outside is just pure magic. Everything is covered in glittering ice and the snow lighten up even the most boring scenes. I wish it would stay like this all winter long.

I have to go to work today too but tomorrow I have one day off at least. I think I will use it for somthing creative. 

 

My birthday celebration really started last Friday. After work I got to go out to dinner with my Christian and his parents. We had good wine to drink and yummy fish for dinner. At home they had fixed a special cake just for me^^ It was all chocolate *Lol* Soo good.

 

I got some presents Friday too.

A new mumin mug to to my collection. This is Groke one of my favorite charakters. She scared a lot of the kids but I got that she was just lonely. Poor Groke <3

 

And this is a fleece blanket that have electric heating. So freaking nice!!!!! I don`t have to freeze when I am at home any more. It is just lovely. Such a thoughtful gift. I have been using it every day all the time since I got it.

I even got a bit of money to spend on whatever I want. Yay! I used it for going out for dinner with Christian both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

 

I have recived other gifts too. 

My super kind parents are going to bring Christian and me for a trip to Liverpool in May. How cool. I have never been to the UK. We are also going to a soccer game there. Even if I`m not a sport interested girl I think it wil be lots of fun. Shopping, sightseeing and drinking pints will also be executed I promise ;)

Is it May yet???

 

My cute friend Ninni is also going to treat me to a nice day at the spa. With a pedicure. Much needed & so appreciated <3 We are going somtime in December when it`s cold and grey outside so we will get the best out of the warm saunas .

 

 

I also have gotten a big bag of luxurious coffee beans and vanilla essence for making latte from Christians relatives. Yum! They know my taste.

 

Monday, my birthday was spent with two of my favorite people. Christian and Ninni. We had sushi, shopped a little and had cake and coffee. Easy going and cosy day. Thank you both for making my day so nice.

This was my outfit for the day.

My new winter coat and my beeltlejuice wedges.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                           Yup. Today I am all grown up and in my 30´s

Yay! I am going out to dinner this Friday. How nice. I am going with my my parents in law and Christian. We are going to celebrate the fact that I am turning 30 next Monday. Can you belive how old I am. Old lady soon! 

I am for sure going to take the opportunity to wear heels and pretty clothes! 

When we are on the subject of pretty clothes! I am going to start sowing again. I have a skirt project planned and just maybe I can start it this weekend. Nice to finally have som creativety in my life again. I have also med a new head/hair thingy I will show you as soon as I get the time to shoot som proper photos of it.

 

 

Thought I woud show you a new hand lotion too. Found it at Lindex! I am addicted to this stuff at winter. I can`t stand dry hands, make me shiver and panic after a while. I tried It last night and I think it`s really good. Nice scent too & of course it´s cruelty free :)

 

 

Hi! Have been working and done boring stuff :P Soon off to work again but at least I have had a great workout today!  Lifted so heavy today I felt nausea creping up and had to slow it down. Tomorrow is spinning class, so good times ahead;)  I have decided to be strict again with my meals. Too much slacking have made me eat without really having control and it have started to show. Bohoo. Only got myself to blame. 

 

This quote nailed it for me ;)

Yesterday was spent with Christian. We really needed to have a day together. My spirits been low for a while. I really can`t tell you why because I don`t know either. Maybe a combination of small things. We went out for some secondhand shopping and sushi. I did not find anything cool this time and was pretty happy about that because I really don`t have the money to spend. I must confess that this month is going hard at my savings. It seemes small amounts gets out of the bank account all time but I never can afford to put it back in... Hmmm. I have a new winter coat on the way too. My old one have ripped. So I tell myself it is okay to use money I don`t have ;)

At least I got my sorry ass out the door today for some walking. I did test my ankle with som jogging but had to give it up straight away. It didn`t feel good.

Here is some pretty views I had along my walk. 

 

 

I love green moss. 

 

And here is one of the many reasons I need to get out and move my ass....

Lovely Lucia Cat buns!!! Yum!! it is a kind of bun with saffron in it. Really you eat it for Lucia the 13. december and around Christmas but we could not resist the temtation any more. So I made them last night and we had some each with mulled wine. 

 

Soon I am off to my good friend Ninni and her boyfriend. We are going to be creative and hopefully take some photos^^ If they are any good you will se the result here.

 

All dolled up with big lashes and ready to go!

 

I am a bit tired at the moment. Working, workingouts and on top of that I am going to the hospital tomorrow.

I am going to see if I can get something for my acne that don`t want to let me be. I hate that shit. Thank god for make up... At least I have something fun to look forward to this weekend. Going to visit my good friend and partner in crime, Ninni :)

And I almost forgot! Friday after work Christian and I are going to meet a man who may have a new apartment for hire. Lets hope it`s better than the one we have now!

It`s Pusheen the cat <3 Awwww  <3

My Halloween was very cuiet. Christian was away recording a music video so I was home alone all evening. 

So what to do? I felt like dressing up and do some make up so I did and then I did some self portraits in my hallway!

They came out quite well for beeing so done so unprofessional^^

 

 

I tried my best to edit/photoshop them but I guess I`m not the best at it... The Happy Halloween pic on the post below I fixed myself too. 

 

I have always been a big fan of comics and have always been reading a lot of them. Sadly the latest years not as much because of so many other intrests. But now I have at least started to collect some of my favorites.

I think what made me read this comic in the first place was beautiful Brandy who is one of the main character. What girl don`t want to be her?!

Liberty Meadows comic is about the life on a animal sanctuary. Brandy is a animal psychiatrist. Franks is a nerdy veterinerian who is in love with Brandy. And you also have Oscar the winer dog, Truman the naive duck, Ralph a midget circus bear, Dean a former fratarnity house mascot & Leslie a dim-witted frog with hypochondria.

When we where in Oslo I bought my second book in the series. The first I got this summer in Stockholm.

Do any of my reders like this comic too? 

 

 

What a beautiful day to be free. Just doing nothing. 

Soon we are gonna crack open a beer or two in good company. And there are for sure going to be some awsome music. 

Here is a picture of me on the go today. You can spy two diffrent colors besides black on my outfit. Nothing that happens too often, this time the autumn colors inspired me.

I wish you all a great Saturday.
