aqua kitchen cabinet

this is the perfect furniture - cause it has the perfect color and it's a bit scraped off.
I can only dream that me & Lotten finds something like this for our Community - I know she would love this one too..
aqua is my new favouritecolor..and mint-green..and sometimes apple-green...and black of course, always black..but oh these shades of green..

kiss & make up

I'm watching makeup-tutorials on youtube! haha
to get some inspiration for the wedding
I'm not a big makeup-user, well, I do use makeup everyday and I dont often go out without makeup, but usually people dont really think I'm wearing make-up, cause I lie it to look as natural as possible..I use the same makeup everyday, but for the wedding it would be nice to have something different..
I definately need more things to work with, but honestly I don't love spending money on make-up..it's quite boring for me..
I wish Amanda could come and help me out, she's the bomb at doing cool makeups!!

i want this

Today I would like to wake up, and just have a big hotel-breakfast-buffé in my kitchen. or maybe not in my kitchen, when I'm dreaming, so why not at a hostel on the beach in costa rica..yeah , why not?

life

i hate being a bitch,
i shouldn't start these things at all,
cause when you've started it, it's so hard to stop..

mobile me

I wanna make mobiles!!

help

i have so much I should do, but I just can't be bothered. I need help.

peanutbutter cups

watching the royal wedding on tv, i needed to have something nice to eat to it ..
I decided to try to make my own peanutbutter cups, delicious!!!!
and really simple


I just melted some dark chocolate that I painted the paper-cups with, quite a thick layer..
then I melted (or just made it a bit softer) peanutbutter and butter..and then crushed some digestive-crackers (the recipe said grahamcrackers but we dont really have that in sweden so..)..and mixed with the peanutbutter-mix..then i put a spoon of this mix in every chocolate-painted cup, finsihed of with chocolate on top of the cups, and then put them in the fridge for an hour!!

royal love

I've never been really interested in the swedish royal family (or any royal family),
but today is the weddingday of our crownprincess Victoria and Daniel, a "normal" guy who is now prince..
The ceremony was so beautiful, they looked so nervous & inlove!!

in exactly a week I'm attending another wedding, which I don't doubt will be as beautiful, if not even more beautiful! in Barcelona...

new necklaces

Okey so, some of the first necklaces are ready now,
but I feel a bit stupid showing them, because they are VERY VERY inspired by marañóns necklaces, and I just loved them so much I wanted to try to do some embroidery myself, it was so fun I couldnt stop..I did all of the patterns myself, except from one, which is the second one I'm showing here..

OAK

lentilsoup with saffron, potatoes & white wine

i just have to share with your this fantastic recipe I came up with once.
well i dont know if it's really a recipe, I never use measures, but anyway..

the picture doesn't show the real soup, but it looks kind of the same..
source

for 3-4 portions (thought I eat it all after and hour or two)
you need:
a couple of potatoes, 3-4 maybe
maybe 3 dl of red lentils
saffron
a splash of white wine (0.5 dl maybe)
rosemary, salt, pepper, chilipowder
fresh lemonjuice
½ onion (i usually use yellow, but you could probably use red onion if that's what you have..or charlottes)
1 mediumsized clove of garlic
cream (half a dl maybe)
vegetable-stock

so start with chopping the onion, and the potatoes to in pieces...fry them in oil together with the saffron (you DON'T need alot, half a teaspoon maximum) and press the garlic or chop it finely...
stir all the time, and pour the wine over it..let it soak in and I guess it will kind of start boiling, so put the lentils (with about 1 dl of water), the lemon and the potatoe pieces in there..stir and put some salt, pepper rosemary and chili in there..
let it simmer for a minute, then pour about 1 L of stock or water (i usually boil it in the boiler first to make it boil faster) with a bouillon-cube...
let it boil for about 7 minutes, then put the crema in and let it boil for yet some minutes. it usually takes about 10 minutes for the lentils and potatos to get soft..just taste it and see...

then i usually use a mixer to make it smoother, but it's not necessery..

I usually eat it with a spoon of créme fraiche/sour cream, and some nice bread

doves, swallows & other birds

look at this beautiful little bobby pin I found on etsy..
it would be nice to have in the hair at the wedding..
but I think I will go with the butterflies I already bought, and do something inspired by this beautiful picture from flickr:

notte sento

hey guys,
BIG sorry for BIG lack of blogging, not that anybody really cares? but still..
I've been so busy with the embroidering, hahaha, I just can't stop. today I even sat in a park and embroidered in public!!! woah..

here's a beautiful short-movie:

embroidery

got so inspired by Marañón, that I decided to dig out my old embroidery-skills (big joke)..I got some of my grandmothers old embroidery-thread, and went and bought a frame to sew on..
it's looking good, I must say I'm much better at this now, than I was when I was 12 years old..

maybe you'll see the result a bit later..

button-necklace!!

made a new necklace!!

here it is, what do you think?

a trip without you

I've just been reading every single post of Musse Hasselvall (swedish wrestler) blog.
it's about him, doing a trip he did with his ex-girlfriend, he visits the same places, meets the same people. but without her. and it's amazingly beautiful. if you're swedish - read it.




somehow it made me want to travel..but then again everything makes me wanna travel.
i really want to do a trip around portugal, spain, france and maybe a bit of italy too, I love southern europe..with somebody. somebody nice..

etno-dress

ok, so..do you remember the dress I made that I'm supposed to wear at the wedding...
well, I really like that one, but I'm making a new one aswell that I was supposed to sell in the shop, but I'm falling in love with it...this one is more african-boho-inspired I guess..and the other one is zebra-print..they would both be faboulous with big necklaces, and I just can't choose

here's the one I'm making at the moment


which one do you think I should wear at the wedding, which one is more wedding-style? (keep in mind that it's not really a snobbish uptight wedding i'm going to, but a spanish country-side-wedding with laidback people)
