My first spread in Kari's mini altered book (on an "artists" theme). My spread is about Anders Zorn, a Swedish painter. 

Now I'm back home after one week of visiting family and friends. I made those two pair of earrings for my friend Lina, it's the first time I make earrings - I've only made necklaces and bracelets before. 

For a swap (10 cards 10 themes) I made those two atcs, and 8 other. It was the first time I made so many cards but only one of each theme. It was a challenge, but it was fun :-) 

Atc 

I also made this card for Kortkollektivet 

This is a card I made for little Thea. 

The other day I got this wonderful collage from Hope. 

And I have to show you my sister's daughter (Thea might be her name) who was born three days ago :-) 

My friend Lina and I had a "crafty day" yesterday and she decorated this photo album for a friend's wedding. 

's a necklace I made. 

My camera has been on vacation for a couple of days, but now it's back. Here 

Today I've pretended it's summer outside (although it's just so cold and boring weather) and made this out of an old pair of jeans and an ugly t-shirt that was too wide. If I made any mistakes? Well, many. Many. But I enjoyed making them and one day ... one day there'll be no mistakes ;) 

And my second spread in the same little book. 

My first spread in Laurina's mini book. There are pink flowers on the trees, although most of them are not that visible because of my super super camera (no, my bad camera I mean). The theme of her book was something like "Wonders of nature" 

And have a look inside the book! Although I don't understand what's written I love this book because of all the nice illustrations that give me so much inspiration. 

Monday was a wonderful post-day! :-) I recieved this lovely birthday gift from Naho in Japan (thanks!): stationary, cards and a book. 

New plans for my shop

So, after this last exam (next week) I'll begin working with making my shop butik Blåbär international. (I'll translate it and I'll make it possible to pay with Paypal.) Also, I have a lot of crafting ideas I'll try out and add to the shop.

And, hooray!!, I managed to subscribe to the Sampler for the first time! I had been watching it all day and when it was open I was a bit nervous I didn't make it, it was over within a few minutes ... and I DID MANAGE! :D I'm thinking of making a contribution for next time (August). Well, we'll see.

A card made of a telephone catalogue, an asian magasine and old wrapping paper. And a bracelet. 

Yesterday, when watching another movie, I made this necklace which I sell here 

A necklace I did yesterday while watching a film. (Actually I have made a bracelet too but the picture was too unclear.) I decided to sell it. 

For a chocolate swap. However the camera flash made it impossible to see all details on the atcs. 

Trying out my new sewing-machine ... I made a little sheep (which is on top of the computer now), a ghost with read glass bead eyes, a green bag with a dog saying "vov" ... and a bracelet for a friend, however I didn't make that one with the sewing-machine ;) As for the bag I was thinking - sell it, keep it, swap it, give it away? But in the end I made a few mistakes so now I have to keep it. The inside is black&gold + the colour of the dog. (Do I have to say I LOVE my sewing-machine!?) 

Look what I got yesterday! A sewing-machine!!! :D Weiiiiii!!! 

And here are the other two cakes. Perhaps I'll make someting more on them tomorrow morning, or perhaps not ... :-) 

Finished! 

This evening I have prepared the cakes for my birthday party (tomorrow). This is part one of my version of Black Forest Gateau (I have raspberried and blueberries in it).
