Day of DIY # 28. Table-skirt.

Hellu!
Time for Husmorsskolans Syförening again :) This is a project from this summer that I never got around to posting.

 It's a skirt I made from a tablecloth found at my granddads. It's one of my favorite skirts, so comfortable and still pretty :)

Round tablecloths are perfect for making skirts! :) Just cut a hole in the middle. This was the first one I made (I've made two more since) so it was a bit sloppy... But it's okay. Add a rubber band and you're done!

It's great for dancing, bad for windy weather lol.

I make weird poses. The cool t-shirt was a souvenir one of my sister gave me from Iceland :)

I can't wait to be bare legged again!

Toodels!

Loud leopard.

Sometimes you just need some bright and obnoxious nail art.

Two coats of China Glaze - Hang-Ten Toes, spots with China Glaze - Stella and black outlining with A England - Camelot + SV.

Look at that pretty shimmer x 2 :) Neon shimmer ftw!

I hope this mani could brighten up your day! :)

Toodels!

Day of DIY # 27.

Hellu!
During the holidays one of my brothers in law said he only had the one wool sock and that he had to switch it between his feet (haha naw). Since I had just made a pair for myself (which was a really nice knit) I offered to make him a new pair. He lives way up north as well so he needed them!

They're knitted (with size 4 needles) from one thread Léttlopi and one Plötulopi, also from Iceland and my dad :) Free socks!

Modeled by the bf :)

Toodels!

Some swatches.

Hellu!
Here's three more of my christmas polishes from G.

This is two or three coats of Color Club - Personal Stylist. It's a dark blue with shimmer.

A bit blurry but this shows the color better.

This is two coats of Sephora - Crush in Moscow. Pretty pinkish red glass fleck.

Pretty in the shade as well :) Great formula on this one, I really like the Sephora brush!

Here's two coats of Biolife - 325. The perfect nude for me :)

It looks a bit streaky here but that wasn't noticeable IRL. Mannequin hands!

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!

Day of DIY # 26. Dress and bags.

Hellu!
Here's some upcycling projects I've made lately. See what the others made at Husmorsskolans Syförening this week!

 

Here's a shopping bag (tote?) I made for the bf from a thrifted tablecloth.

I made two and gave the other one to the bf's little sister.

 This is a dress made from an old tank top (that I drew chinese symbols on ages ago) and a tablecloth from my grandparents that I first turned into a skirt and then took out the waistband and attached it to the tank top :P Upcycled upcycling lol.

It's a really twirly dress!

Toodels!

Sponge and tape and rhinestones.

Hellu!
Finally some nail art! I was really pleased with this mani but the pics are a bit off...

The base is Sephora - Any way any where and then I added striping tape on some nails and sponged on China Glaze - Stella. And made a heart with purple rhinestones.

On my right hand I just sponged and added rhinestones in a different pattern.

 These were crazy shimmery. Almost looked prismatic or holo in strong light. Love!

I need to make more nail arty manis!

Toodels!
