Day of DIY # 31. Stripe baby sweater.

Hellu!
Here's the second baby sweater I made from this Ravelry pattern :)

This one is for my friends daughter :)

Both yarns are 75% wool and 25% acrylic (or something like it). My mom bought the red for me in Germany I think. I bought the blue a couple of years ago. I really like the colors of it and how it stripes. It's Drops Fabel I believe.

It's for 3-6 months so she'll have to wait a while before she's big enough to wear it.

I can't wait to make more baby sweaters, it's so much fun (and fast ;))! :D

Toodels!

10 rainbows.

Hellu!
So you're probably thinking, doesn't she ever get tired of rainbows? The answer is no, of course not.

Here's a pic the bf took with his fancy flash. Rrrrrrrrainbows!

For this mani I used this tutorial (if you want to learn water marbling, her tutorials are the best!). I used three China Glaze neons for this mani: Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Towel Boy Toy and Rose Among Thorns (which looks kinda red but turned out pink over my white base boooh!). After sponging that on I added a coat of China Glaze - Fairy Dust. Which I like need to add so all manis.

I need to remake this so I get a proper rainbow with red! :) Do you like rainbows?

Toodels!

Grey + orange.

Hellu!
Here's a mani loosely inspired by this one from The Nailasaurus, and colorwise from a mani I saw like 2 years ago but have no idea what that blog was called... Anyways! :p

The base is one coat of China Glaze - Riveting (which I would've added a second to if I wasn't going to cover it) then I added striping tape and A England - Ascalon + SV. I think I like the index and ring finger designs best :)

A bit blurry. Booh I want sunshine!

Coincidentally I got this polish from G for christmas which is really similar to Riveting. I guess we have the same taste :) This is two coats of Sephora - Sunrise on the Moon. Sadly, these kinds of red orange make my winter pale skin look even paler. So nail art is kind of a must!

I've been keeping to my trying to make more nail art the past couple of weeks :)

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 30. Rainbow baby.

Hellu!
I finally managed to mail this gift so I can post about it today, and participate in Husmorsskolans Syförening :)

 Behold! A rainbow sweater for my niece/nephew (who I hope will grace us with her/his presence sooon! ;)).

This is my first Ravelry knit :) This one. I made the body a bit longer tho.

100% wool from Klippans Yllefabrik.

Just to blow you away, here's Ninnitinn posing in it. Adorable!

Now I just have to find a shrink ray so I can borrow this. Just kidding! ..... (or am I?)

I've already made another one for my friend who became a mom last week :) Just need to take some pics of that one.

Toodels!

Blue copper.

Hellu!
Here's a polish I ordered before christmas.

 This is two coats of Barielle - Falling Star. Copper glitter in a blue creme base. Pretty cool and unusual for a non-indie polish :)

It felt a bit gritty since I didn't use any top coat but a coat would fix that I guess :)

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 29.

Hellu!
Here's something new for the blog: embroidery!

This is a bookmark I embroidered (?) for my dad. I wanted to try and make different stitches (? lol) since I'm making a pillow casing for the bf later. The white fabric is from an old sheet and the embroidery floss is thrifted :)

The french knots (at least that's what they're called in swedish) were my favorite :D

So yeah. I'm gonna embroider stuff now, booyah.

Today we went thrifting so I'll probably make a new second hand post soon :)

Toodels!

Blue times two.

Hellu!
I've been meaning to have more nail art and less regular swatches on the blog. This means actually doing nail art but I've managed two in a week :) Let's just hope I can keep it up! It's fun having cool nails :>

Striping tape! Base is two coats of Depend - 228 and then I added tape and A England - Tristam + SV.

When I was done I realized I've done a really similar mani before. I guess I just really like using the same color in different nuances. What's the word for that? I just can't remember it lol. Also, I really like Tristam.

Toodels!
