Moments.

Hej!
Här kommer några fler ögonblicksbilder från den senaste tiden mest för att jag tycker det är lite roligt. Kronologisk oordning och helcrazy.

I februari köpte vi en kokosnöt. Det blev så roliga halvor när vi öppnat den liksom kodak moment (känns som att det uttrycket kommer försvinna med vår generation haha/snyft?).

I början av mars köpte sambon en ny (begagnad) kamera. Skoj!

När vi skulle fota min filt passade vi på att glo/ta på djuren också. "Om ändå hennes fingrar vore morötter" kan jag tänka mig att hon tänkte.

I mitten av mars åkte jag till Syfestivalen i Malmö med min mamma. Jag kände mig fett duktig efter att bara ha köpt de två härvorna till höger från Ullcentrum (asså den färggranna!!! som en godispåse och en regnbåge i ett). Sen precis när vi skulle börja bege oss hem gick vi förbi ett stånd där de sålde sockgarn för 19 kronor styck. Vafan liksom. Köpte stickor 3 i björk (och glömde helt att jag redan hade en extra uppsättning i metall. Aja kan förmodligen inte ha för många) och stickor 3,5 i Knitpro symfonie. Mmmm.

När han jag är kär i gör nåt med paprika sparar han dessa bitarna till mig eftersom jag tycker de är det godaste på paprikan. Äkta kärlek.

Och som att inte paprika var nog har jag fått skåda detta flera kvällar. Helt på eget bevåg <3 Det blev en disktrasa i 100% lin.

Some random moments from february and march.

Toodels!

Moments.

Hej!
Såna där ögonblick och vad jag haft för mig i veckan.

När jag la beställning på mammas julklappsgarn passade jag på att köpa lite till mig själv. Tyckte Ullcentrum hade en så sympatisk affärsidé att jag ville stödja dem. Kanske också för att de har regnbågsgarn... Ser ut som att det drar mer åt blått och grönt men det ser kanske lite annorlunda ut när det är nystat. Snyggt är det oavsett! Ska bli nån slags tröja tillsammans med det gråa.

 Second sleeve syndrome känns det som men jag tragglar på. Är så spänd på att se hur den ska bli när den är färdig!

Började sina lite i teförrådet så i fredags fyllde jag på med lite nytt. Mmm te...

Montly makers är ett kul projekt som dragits igång av en massa coola bloggare. Det är ett tema varje månad och nu i januari är det papper. Jag tyckte det lät najs och har faktiskt gjort något papprigt i helgen :)

Vi var på Biltema i lördags och jag köpte en canvas och akrylfärg.

Och i söndags målade jag en tavla vilket var jättekul! :) Så himla najs att jag kan vara i mitt rum och skapa nu när jag städat!

Some moments from this week. I bought some yarn from Ullcentrum since I like their business idea (and rainbows!). I've also been struggling with the second sleeve for my wool sweater. Bought some new tea and jumped on the Montly Makers january theme, which was paper. I also bought a canvas and acrylic paint and made a painting :) Super fun!

Toodels!

Lately.

Hellu!
Summer is still here. Drinking tea in a hot room was perhaps not the best idea lol. Anyways, here are some pics! I kinda like these everyday updates. Don't worry tho, yarny stuff to come soon!

 I finally pulled myself together and ordered my christmas present from Bokus. Better late than never lol. Thanks G! :) The left book is pretty boring but neccessary. I bought the middle one since I want to learn how to sew clothes (properly ;)) and then I just had to buy the mittens-book. It's really nice of them to make a pattern just for me! ;)

I made a smoothie today for the first time in ages. Bananas, blueberries and milk.

Enough for the both of us.

A week ago I went to Copenhagen with my mom and another tribe member. We saw an ATS-performance :) It was too hot and sunny so we didn't want to stand in front of the stage but there's a lot of moving around in ATS so it was still cool!

Them clothes <3

I love the summer. Please never end.

Toodels!

New yarnz.

Hellu!
Here's some new yarns I've gotten in the last couple of months.

Me and the bf went to Iceland in june. I will hopefully post some more pics about that soon but here's the yarn I bought which you know is pretty interesting ;) This is about 600g of plötulopi in a beautiful purple color which I see now I didn't manage to capture. Booh! Anyways, it's really nice :)

I bought some more einband as well since I plan on making a blue/grey/black sweater. And because it's so cheap how could I not? ;)

I needed a cotton refill and ordered some from Redlunds Manufaktur. 46 kr for 200g. Yes. Yes.

This brown was also hard to photograph. It's not as reddish irl.

YARN!

Toodels!

Wool wool wool.

Hellu!
An unexpected trip back to Iceland generated a lot of special memories and of course, more wool.

 More blue and grey Einband. I'm thinking a gradient two strand sweater...

100 g balls of yarn are hard to resist. Especially when they are in pretty colors like these!

And ofc some more plötulopi. Lurve it! The grey is for my lopapeysa and the blue is probably for some childrens peysa later on :)

I also bought 3 or 400 g plötulopi for my mom but forgot to take a pic before I gave it to her. About 950 g of plötulopi, 200 g Álafosslopi and 200 g Einband and I paid 308 SEK. YES PEOPLE!

Here's a pic I took when we went up in the tower of Hallgrimskirkja. Cool view! (In case you needed some other reason to visit Iceland besides the awesome yarn.)

Toodels!

Yarnz from the old country.

Hellu!
Here's just a lil' post with the yarn I bought in Iceland. Some people (like my mom ;)) might find this interesting :P

I bought 500g of the dark grey and 400g of the red plötulopi. It's gonna turn into a lopapeysa one of these days with some lighter grey as well (I think, we shall see). I also bought 400g of einband in different blue and grey colors. I was thinking a scarf or something but I already have one of those... And I'm not one of the scarf people I guess :P

I didn't have a lot of room in my bag otherwise I would've bought a lot more since it's so cheap! The grey plötulopi cost me 107 SEK. Like for reals. I was like making money from buying it. ;)

Ps. this yarn smells so good I just wanna bury my nose in it and dream of far away times. (yes I am weird and cool) Ds.

Toodels!

Some more finds.

Hellu!
Here are some more second hand finds (from Pingstkyrkans loppis).

A kilt. Cool.

Purple skirt (really vibrant color IRL) and mustard cardigan. It's missing a button but I didn't notice that til I got home, oops. Also, the color is totally wrong for me but I bought it anyways!

I liked that it had this chevron pattern.

Also, I just had to buy this since it was so cool.

I think I paid 140 SEK for all of this. Not bad. I also bought some duvet covers. The metre price on those is kinda awesome ;) To the sewing machine!

All photos by the bf.

Oh, and I'm an aunt now! On our 4,5 year anniversary my sister gave birth to a little girl. That's pretty darn cool. I'm so happy for them, and me! :D

Toodels!

The whole is bigger than the pieces combined.

Hellu!
A random picture-filled post.

Wearing mostly hand made stuff makes me feel great.

Like this outfit. Two tie dyed pieces. And I realised I haven't blogged properly about the green one! I'll have to get on that.

I have a bf that will test out his new car with a trip to Klippans Yllefabrik. I'm one lucky lady! (ps. Klippan, I also very much like you)

And since I'm on the subject of bragging about my bf, he's an excellent baker as well! (The placemat is thrifted and you know, totally me)

Here's an apron the bf made for his sisters birthday (I was bursting with pride ;)). The bragging continues.

Here's a breakfast I made for us last weekend, "hotel style". Fresh squeezed orange + blood orange juice, eggs, sandwiches, melon and mango. Yum!

Life is good!

Toodels!

Sneak peak.

Hellu!
We got home from our vacation on saturday and have been chilling since. Today we're going to a thrift store and some other necessary stuff ;) I'm going to get some photos up as soon as I can from the trip. Until then...

... Fantasy Fire! And the best part is, I've got two of 'em. 8)

Toodels!

New old stuff.

Hellu!
This weekend me and the bf went to a second hand store. I do like 'em.. :> I also got a lot of stuff from my granddad last weekend and I've been organizing my room to make room for them. Pic spam!

Got my drawers on. Nice storage makes me happy lol.

I've been collecting nice ties for a project. Mmm paisley...

A find from the second hand store. The one on the left is a booklet with knitted patterns from 1960, the middle (also knitting and crocheting patterns) from 1974 and the book (about crafts) is from 1978. Awesome!

Just fab. Some things have changed to the better since then tho ;)

This pic is for Lilja.

We also bought these cool glass jars with lids. I just want to fill them up with candy! :)

I got some sewing supplies as well and the bf bought a tripod which he wanted. 'Twas a good day! Shopping and saving the environment all in the same time ;)

Toodels!

More blue holo.

Hellu!
A couple of weeks ago I finally found the new holographic line from swedish brand Depend. Since they are really expensive (double the cost of the regular ones from the brand) I only bought one. I thought it was a pretty unusual holo color.

This is two coats of Depend - 2036 Ocean Green. They actually gave these names but not on the bottle (since it's too darn small!). The color is a greenish blue with lots of holo! Flash pic.

Lookit, it even shows rainbows in regular light :S Not to mention in the sunlight! Didn't get pics of that though before I went to my sister. Great vacation polish! :)

Buuut... Since it was so awesome I just had to buy three more :S These were also colors that I didn't think I had anything similar to. It's 2032 Denim Blue, 2027 Raspberry & 2030 Plum.

Can't wait to try them as well. Bring forth the sun!

Toodels!

Haul.

Hellu!
I bought three more polishes on the after X-mas sale and then yesterday I got my polishes from Nailsupplies so I thought I'd post that today :)

I found these two at Kicks at 19 SEK each and had to buy them. How could I not? They look so good together 8) And the colors are pretty :) I like these bigger Isadoras and the most I've ever paid for them is 29 SEK so... :) The green is Jaded and the blue is Petrol Posh.

When I was in line to pay I looked at the Kicks nail polish display. This was the only one there (of its kind) so I felt that was a sign for me to take it with me :P It's Kicks - Evening At Ch. Marmont.

From Nailsupplies (some really slanted pics lol). I felt I needed some glitter in my life. China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, Some Like It Haute & Atlantis (preeettyyy).

I really like the Anchors Away collection. There is a good variety of polishes and I became really polish crazy when it was new so I guess that's another reason for it 8) China Glaze - White Cap, Ahoy! & First Mate.

They finally had Barielle - Elle's Spell in stock :) And then I got Color Club - Raspberry Rush & Orly - Rococo A-Go-Go.

I told my bf that I had set back the swatch-project 12 polishes. He snickered at me but he is a very supportive bf. Yes I'm looking at you! :*
Toodels!
