Welcome to my blog. I am a creative young lady who comes from the northern part of Sweden and moved to Norway in 2007. This blog is about my dailylife, my faith, being creative in different ways, take challenges, share thoughts. I write to share, cause my heavenly Father told me so. And you SHARE to them around you. I mostly sew. Become a student this August-25, to become a teacher, so I'll share about that too. I love to inspire others. ..and I love coffee!

Online dating (annoying or not) Very Painful this time – part 12.

When you thought you really had stop this! And suddenly someone respond to one comment on social media!! And you really and literally don’t know how to respond.

THAT happend me.

It was both surreal, exiting and scarry in the same time in the beginning.

But it is for sure the most Sad, Awful, Painful, Terrifying and surreal that ever happend me!!

I have had some day’s to process this. A long story short; and it is sad that the whole thing started so positive and harmless. Which I guess it most the time does. But after few day’s of chatting he asked me to help him and he shared ( stuff I would never share, but he isn’t me) out of a desperate situation he was/is in (if he really is who he say’s he is). This stuff he shared with me is something I am SO AGAINST!! To transfer money!! I really tryed to tell him I didn’t want to do this (and at this point I should have just blocked him! But didn’t see it…) I was only interessted to get to know him as a person. He didn’t listen. My life has been turned up-side-down and I become a victum of online fraud. I thought I had learned the signs… And I really tryed to stand against him and his nagging. But he managed to convinse me 😦 . He convinsed me to get an app for bitcoin and actually buy bitcoin (just writing about this part is so painful!!) If it is anything I always been skeptical to, is it things I don’t know a shit abou like bitcoin (probably something he is used to). Every part of my body said NO!! And I tryed to talk sence to him but he didn’t listen. (I am crying inside of me writing this, it is so painful!!). I hate myself and him!! Dissapointed on myself for not reacting faster… And why didn’t I just block him? Well, I have to say this was more of a fight between the enemy and me… who would win?

You should know I have been through almost every type of feelings here. Hate myself and him. Frustration. Irritated. Sad. Crying. Wanted to screem. Wanted to melt away. But I texeted a friend who saw the whole thing from the outside and told me I had been a victum of fraud. When you read that from a close friend who care you know you need to act. So I have reported him to the Norwegian Police for online fraud. Called my bank and got everything blocked. I have made a copy of the whol chatting and saved it as a pdf-file. It’s been few turbulent day’s and will because of this take a break from social media. But I need my blog, to vent through as I always do.

Maybe because of this whole shit have I had brain fatigue, exhaustion symptoms – difficult to fall a sleep in the right time and my back crashed. It has been locked since Wednesday – the day when the big sad shit happend and I lost almost all my money.

But the Lord has his ways of encuragement!! And the Lord has been with me through it all I know. It’s the enemy who tryed to be bigger. The enemy who destroyed it all!! It’s like the enemy want to disrupt everything right now but he will not win!

And I thank the Lord for everything he has helped me with in this sad situation! The Glory goes to Him who is Bigger then everything!

If a person online asks for pictures of you don't send until he/she has sent it first!! Then google this person, read as much you can about this person!! Go on a concert or a place this person say's he/she normally are!! Don't trust everything the person say's!! Ask for a video meeting where you can se e/she is moving normal or do it live, meet somewhere public nothing else!! And never ever pay a penny!!! NEVER!! Be skeptical!!

*You should just know how many times I have been editing this text.* 🤪🤪🤪

Lucky I have my 💙Silver boy🐈💙 to calm me down when I needed to cry out. And good Christian friends that stand with me in this and in prayer 🙂 And helped me see what I didn’t see ❤ in the end. How desperate I got to figure out how to help this guy. It’s scarry how easy it is to become a victum of this!! And hard the enemy try 😦 .

I was Curious and really just wanted to get to know this guy. Now after this I don’t want anything from him ever!! I really hope he doesn’t ask any other person for this!! And I am curious if it actually was he who he said he was or if someone hacked him. But I will not check. Everything is now in the hands of my Lord Jesus. And I will move forward.

I have had all my cards from my bank blocked so no one can’t damege more.

Worship is the thing now. Lot’s of good input is just what I need.

I am still sad inside and angry on myself but I know if I focus on that nothing will be good. So I will fill my life with good things from the Lord, Bibleverses, other Christian blog’s and try to do some sketching that actually helps my brain to relax.

After I was done writing this text yesterday – Saturday the 23rd of September, I read some encurageing text from a Christian blog post from the Inlight Church, I recieve on my email. Here is the biblevers; “So do not fear, for i am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NIV).

Locked back and sciatica pain – unable to go to work.

Isn’t it tipical that when I finally find a job, a job as a substitute teacher and substitute learning assistant my back crash?! I spent time in both my bed and couch yesterday (Thursday 21st of September) and by time to go to bed it was nearly okay 🙂 but it was one thing I really needed to do. I needed to wash my hair, and that was painful!! And I kind of knew this would not benefit my back at all. But to wake up today day with even more pain… oh I get so tired of my back 😔😔🤐😡🤬 Have no words.

If it only was that I can’t go to work. But it isn’t is it? No! I need to pack, clean out things like cabinets, my fridge, bathroom cabinets etc… 🤬🤬🤬 (sorry for the emijos, but they describe how I feel.)

I am so annoyed on this life!! But I will not get depressed or think to much about it I will be thankful to life. I have what I need right now. A friend went to the grocery store for me yesterday so I have food 😊. I have a home 😊. I have a roof over my head. I have friends that care 😊❤. And a God that loves me. ✝️

To be grateful despite tiring when life doesn’t become what you hope for…

Crazy time(!) September 23

I don’t where to start. Okay, we start with the fact it has been hard to find someone to hlp me with this move even if I asked friends early! I have looked around trying to find a moving company not to expencive for my low budget. Still don’t know if I should or can go for that option. It all depends on money 🤪🤪😔😔.

Life is interesting!!

While I’m waiting on that, I keep packing. Were quite effision yesterday (Sunday 17th) between resting in the couch.

Monday 18th, my plan were to take it easy until 12 and catch a train, but instead I had to stress eat, stress walk down to the train station cause I got an emergency appointment 10:50, at 09:42am(!). If I only already lived in Stavanger… but I don’t. It’s a fact. But soooooon 😍😍. Not many day’s left now.

Waitin on a train at train stop called PARADIS.

Street art I haven’t seen before in Stavanger;

Next to the harbour.
Along the walkpath at the harbour.
On a sidewall of a house in the #oldtownofstavanger #streetart

On a side of soneones garden next to the walkpath from Stavanger Hub (train & busses).

Yesterday, Thursday 21st, I beleive I did the stupiedest thing in my entired life. Can’t say what, I just don’t see or understand how this will benefit my life or how The Lord will provide for me in this stupied situantion I have made.

On the top of this I managed to woke up with a locking back yesterday and not being able to go to work. The same shit today.

The Move 2023..

I started to pack already this Summer, things I didn’t use. I mean why have things out when you know you will move in a sooner future? But now, in the middle of September, the move just getting closer every Day 🤪. So I have to pack! Each Day.

Yet, life is chaotic yet I see what I need to back or more like what I can pack now and what I have to wait with.

My bedroom has become a storage for some furtinures from the sewingroom, cause that is cleaned out 🙂. And “the storeage room” is full of boxes in all sizes 🤪😆😆 and it’s only space nearest the door 😆😆.

My dear-sewing chair doesn’t fit anywhere else then on my kitchen floor 😆😆.

Step by step I am getting closer to do the last thing in both bathroom and livingroom, yet I use so much of the things I can pack it down… annoying!!

💙🐈💙 BiRthDaY boy, 9th of September.

Yesterday became a calm day, yet it was Silvers BiRthDaY 🎉🎉🎉🎉

He is my “boy” 🥰🥰. 🎉🎉 HaPPy BiRthDaY Silver 🎉🎉

Online dating (annoying or not), part 11.

August -23. Just as I was ending my profile on the dating app I started to talk to this, well quite interesting man I thought then…

I have deleted my profile and will have a break no matter! Tired of slow Norwegian men and other fake men!! I need time to pack, move, pack up and time to settle in in my new home. If I go back to a dating app at all, well time will show. I don’t need to stress finding a man. And is everything else in my life I trust the Lord to guide me into when it’s time for a new round with online dating. I have other things in life I need to spend time and energy on.

We talked on snap and it sounded prommesing that he wanted to visit me, up to the date of his arrival – today the 8th – but he didn’t respond to any of my snap’s after 3pm. I went in to Stavanger to sign my new house contract and told him on snap that I could wait nearby the train station. Which I did for almost 2 hours!! Before I gave up 8.20pm and took the train home. He hasn’t respond to any of my snap’s for the past hour or two and now I’ll ignore him as he has ignored me! *if he realky want to visit well answer!! Ifell my mouth is dirty in words and can only use those to express my geelinhs right now; 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It’s not the first time 😥😥😥 I hope I’ve learn my lesson!!

I am now home making late dinner and gonna draw and watch telly to calm down and txt close friends 😊.

I hope that you who following my post of this theme, have got help through my thoughts and faith. But also listening to the Lord to give you advice. I hope you will find your true one out there one day! Just remember to not stress about it, giving the Lord your heart so He can guide you and you not becoming desperate!! That’s the worst kind of singel people Christian or not!

While I’m waiting

…to here anyting from BISS I will start working as a subtitute teacher in one of the schools in Stavanger city until I have moved. I will be working there Tuesdays and Thursdays until the 28th this month.

I have not heard a thing neither has my refrences 🤪🤪 I litterally don’t understand it at all! And I have not applyed to any new job for the last week.

Today I went to the one school I start at nxt week after my doctor appointment. And from there walked or catch a new bus to find nxt school 🤪🤪🥵🥵 in the suddenly Summer day we got! See pictures 😉. I have walked approxy 11,500 steps since I woke up, which I haven’t done since June 🤣🤣.

08:15am, waiting on the bus.
08:30am, Sandnes.
Distance to walk from the local bus
to the 1 school.
Finally Autumn colours.
We got a Summer day.
2nd school.
One of the local buses.
Fastfood “On the go” around 4pm, super hungry.

Before I left the 3rd school I had to charge my phone 🤪 tipical! Therefor I got home one hour later then what I wanted. But with more battery & some fastfood I got all the way home to my cat-boy and a good cup of coffee 🤩🤩.

I trust the Lord in this! My Faith carry me forward

Interveiew day.

Went well. I felt like jome there speaking English 😊. I’ve done my part and now it’s “just the waiting” to see if the Lord open or close this door. I have no expectations just becauce I am now so used to get a deny. But if the Lord open up this opportunity for me I will enjoy working with those students/pulpils with special needs and in an English speaking enviroment!

If I don’t get the job I think I will have enough to do by being a subtitute teacher in the 5(!) Schools that wants me!! 😊 So now it’s up to the Lord 😉.

And I have enough things to do before the move in the end of September to even “think to much” about this interview.

OMG! I got an interveiew on the British School!😍🙈😍

I can’t really believe it’s true. Last time I applyed I got an deny. And I didn’t changed much on my application! Maybe it wasn’t so many that applyed. I don’t know. But I got it- interview! 😍😍

I read the email just before I fell a sleep last night (31st of August). I am so thankful to the Lord that I kept pushing myself to apply.

Woke up 1st of September still smiling. And even in the evening (10pm) calling a friend it hadn’t landed 😆😆😆. I am getting there – with the feeling of I actually got an interveiew.

Meanwhile I have other challenges to deal with or sort out or figure out. But I will not do it alone cause I trust the Lord and I know He will both guide and provide for me.

And I am moving 🙂🙃 and this time I’ll stay there for more then one year! It’s the perfect apartment!! 2 bedrooms, open kitchen – livingroom, bath bigger than I need 😆😆, parkinglot (not commen) and the best to last, a terrasse without a lot of sun 😍😍😍😍. 🌳🌳🌳🌳 just outside the windows 😍😍😍. I love it!!

It feels like the Lord have improved and keep blessing me with places I need every time I move. 🙏. This one is also lower rent then most around in the same suburb 🙏🙏. Walking distance to bus stops or a 20min walk in to the city center 😍😍 perfect for CouchSurfers or friends to visit. Coast line walking paths 5 min away 😍😍.

In 2010 I worked nearby where I soon will live, so I know some part of the suburb. Love the nature in this suburb!!

3,5 schools that are interessted to have me on their subtitute teacher list 😍😍 , one school is in walk distance from my new home 😍😍.

I don’t know how this Autumn will end but I am fully trusting the Lord. He knows my path and that’s enough for me. 😊😊.

August 29th an other deny/refusal of work…

…made me feeling low yesterday and today. But you know what? I talked out loud my frustration to the Lord and …

Some food.
Some painting.
And then application (s) 😉.
I just needed to be a bit low to be able to rise up again. With new energy and motivation ❤🙏✝️.

The Lord knows us to well to know what we need ❤😊.

August 23rd – 24th.

A short update.

Yesterday (22nd) a friend and previous colleague asked me on messanger (facebook) if I would be interessed in a talk with the leaders of her school, cause they looking for staff. I answered, Yes. Just give them my numer.

Today 23rd around 08:30am I recieved a txt msg, with the question “if I would be up for a talk?” I replayed, Yes, and when I could today. Today didn’t fit him (one of the leaders of the Christian School) but tmrw the 24th.

Sandnes habour, 5:30pm, 23rd.

So, tmrw 24th I’ll have a talk with the leader and the principal, 2:30pm. Maybe this is the door the Lord have for me?!

O don’t want to panick, I want to be able to trust the Lord all the way to a job. Faith is what carries me forward. Faith gives me motivation to keep applying.

Yet, I know I need to do something about my situation without the education which is the lowest level for such jobs. I need to find a solution to be able to find the money to register as a private individual and take the exam… the registration dates which are just around the corner – in September. And I need to make a decision if I should or not should to study special pedagogy which starts nxt week… cause I will not do both. The special education will not give me a professional certificate as I thought when I signed up for the course 😔 which is what I need. Many things now… please pray 🙏 the Lord helps me to clearity, if you read this post and are a believer.

August 19th – 21st – 1 refusal, 1 maybe ,3 new application sent.

Yesterday, 18th, I were suposed to get a phonecall and when I didn’t I called the kindergarten I had an interveiew with, the 8th. They needed more time to check with referanses and will be in touch Monday or Tuesday coming week.

And then I got a confurming reject on mail from one of the schools that had deadline Monday, 14th, which I called the 17th.

But I get motivated to apply to a ned posision when I am rejected, so I wrote a new application and sent it to yet an other school 😊😉.

And this weekend, which has started in the best way for me, I am going to write 3 applications. One to the English school, one to an other kindergarten and one to aftet-school-program posision 😉. I am to stubburn to give up as long as it is job out there I can apply to.

If you who read this post are Christian, please pray 🙏 that the Lord will open the right Door for the right job soon cause I have found the perfect apartment to rent in Stavanger. It has a terrasse with a parkinglot, is the perfect size for me and Silver-boy 🐈. Walk distance to bus and train hub, lots of walking paths nearby the sea side 😍😍. Medium size, not to small not to big apartment, like the one I rent now.

August 21st, today, have I so far sent 2 applications – Yay. And to clear my brain I went out for a short walk with Silver-boy whos has been nagging since 10am today ^^haha^^. And about the posission in the kindergarten I had an interview with the 8th, I am skepical I get cause they haven’t called me yet and it’s 3pm…

Since I moved back to Rogaland I’ve been longing for to live in Stavanger city, cause it is the city I love. I’ve never loved a city like Stavanger. Never been a big city person. But Stavanger reminds me of smaller cities in Sweden like Kalmar, Växsjö and

In between I sew 🤩🤩, trying to finish my linen pants 😆😆 figured I need a zip. And then the question was, how will I do that when I already sewing the front 🤔🤔🤔 but I found a pattern so now I at least now how to do it 🙂🙂

Interview week 😊, August 23.

So I had one interview this Tuesday the 8th, after school program (SFO). It didn’t feel like an interveiew at all, more like they had to many to meet. And I also got a negative vibe in the spiritul world. And I am not so keen on this job, mostly cause it’s only 50%.

Late yesterday (9th) I read my email and there it was a new request for an interveiew. I just called them now (09.30am, the 10th) about the time and they will call me back.

Interveiw Friday 08:30, August 11th, kindergarten. Not what I really want but I can work there if I don’t get anything else.

I will also call the rest of the schools I’ve applied to, to hear where they are in the process of applications today (10th).

This job journey is for sure very different from the last years! Yet I am trusting the Lord to open up the right Door of job. Cause the Lord have giving me Peace.

Friends and Family praying.

The peace the Lord have giving me, where most people would freak out cause they yet don’t have a job when the school starts in a week. I just trust Him who will and can provide.

August 10th, afternoon I recieved a txt msg that the posission (Tuesday interview) got filled. Oh what a relief!! Cause I really didn’t wanted it.

On the train Friday August 11th.

A chill walk to the train in the morning sun with the Lord, on the train trying to wake up… listening to a podcast. Soon walk to the bus towards the interview.

August 6th, walk – listen to preaching- cleaning my brain.

I just need to clear my brain with you. The preaching is about how God is repeating himself to get us to respond. Really interesting from Elevation Church with Steven Furtick.

Pictures a long my walk…

A lovely walk path around a small country side lake in Norway.

How the water helps me become calmer.
How much I smile seeing those cute 🐑🐑🐑.

How I love this view, half way around this lake. Time to blog. Share “my nature” with you.

Thank you Lord for peace for whatever comes in the way in my life. Thank you Lord for your love and protection for my life. Thank you Lord for letting me see and understand warning signs. Thank you Lord for life no matter what it looks like. Thank you Lord for you repeating yourself for me to respond. Thank you Lord for whatever job you can see me doing and where you can use me and my knowledge.

I trust you Lord cause I know you will provide what I need and no more.

Thank you Lord for protection. Thank you Lord for you surroding me with your love. Thank you Lord for resturaction. Thank you Lord for that you repeat yourself. Again and again. ✝️.

Online dating (annoying or not) part 10.

An interesting situation has appered, I think. The guy I have been chatting with for five weeks, and have talked about here before. Is Christian, but I believe my faith is stronger then his. When it comes to not panic and trust the Lord when he struggling doing things his way. I have been praying for him and the situation he is in right now.

I can’t help him but I can pray.

And “the feeling” from his respons are he is trying a bit to much of his ovn and not wait on the Lord to actually provide what he needs 😥. I understand he is panicing.

My personal experence in similar situations are, always trusting the Lord cause he can and will provide what I can’t fix in my ovn way.

August 2nd to August 6th.

Aslan has moved out…

…July 27th. Me and the earlier owner of Aslan stayed in contact all the way after I took him in, in April and today I got a txt msg from her, where she told me they lost two cat’s during the spring and the one left become so lonely. Same age as Aslan. And they had been talking (cause I told her earlier this week I have to give him away becuase my asthma haven become worse over the last two months) about trying with Aslan with the one they have home.

So around 6:45pm today (27th of July) they came and Aslan recognized them so he went home with them <3.

I think this will be the best sulution for us all.

Silver will settle down and hopefully become a bit more cozy again and I will be able to breath better – that my asthma will improve over time.

We are both getting better. I have vacuuming the house and cleaning it and washed – laundry – almost every blanket Aslan used to get rid of jis fur and be able to breath better.

Silver 💙🐈💙 has started to sleep nxt to me in my bed during the night 😊😊 .

Today, August 2nd, Silver is totally done with medication 😊😊. He has done it so well!! I am sp impressed of him. My old cat-boy 💙🐈💙.

Online dating (annoying or not) part 9.

I have now been talking to this man for approxy 4 weeks. We went from talking on the dating app to Snap to WhatsApp. It’s been a journey of it’s own! We don’t have any issue to talk about anything and everything. We have figured out that we have a lot in comman yet many things where we are the opposite which I think is good.

We both want to get to know the other on a friend level and build the relationship from that place. We share values and we are both Christians – which is the part I never though I actually would find a Christian man – but here he is.

My question to myself is – will it be as good when we meet as it is now when we are talking or will it not be anything at all or could it be even better? Am I doubting this concept? Well for sure I can feel I am doubting.

I don’t have good experience of online dating so far in my life, and i started to do oline dating all ready 15-20 years ago(!)

My prayers are; pls let it be good chemistry between us when we meet so all thing we have been talking about won’t be for nothing! Pls let it be better then when we talking. And pls let us be able to continue on this friendship, let it grow into love and bigger.

The Journey of Oline dating, isn’t as streight forward as people migth think… It’s many bumps and other obstacles on the road, many questions, doubts and more especially if you don’t live or work on the same continent or in the same land!!

To have focus on the good feeling, the feeling of chemisrty is important and pray together and for each other if you share that. If you don’t share it, pray for him/her. In prayers the Lord can sow and harvest things you can’t.

To be adults and be able to be open of everything is important for me. So I asked questions very early in our conversation, things that are important for me. And he has done that too. 🙂

Offcourse we have different thoughts about things, but I think one of the most important thing when you trying to get to know a man/woman through online dating is to be flexible and open to change yourself if it something he/she like to so and you never tryed it before or never done it, like in my case. He loves snorkling – something I never done. But just because I never done it doesn’t mean I will never do it – so if I am open minded here I might be able to have a good experience one day with him for what he likes 🙂 .

We talk a lot about what each of us want’s in the future partner, qualities and personal characteristics, hobbies, future place to live have we discussed – mainly cause we have a ocean between us (!) Even when he is at work, cause he is an engineer and work different place.

We have our own journey and backpacker we carry with us, all of ous who are dating. Where are our focus in all this? And how do we cope with it all? Well it’s up to each of us to find a pattern that fits us and share it with the one we date. If you are lucky to meet IRL or like me being online for weeks before the first meeting, yet I have to find a good pattern and spend time with him when it fit’s his schedule. And support each other even more important when it’s a distance between us/you two!

To dream by yourself and later with your partner, I guess that’s what we all are doing. Dreaming of a partner when we are single is one thing and an other thing when you meet someone you like not just for how he/she looks like but for whom he/she is. No matter where you are in life right now you are dreaming for something i life, I do. So we are all “the same”. We all have vissions about life and what we want to do, travel, for work etc.

This picture of the hot air balloon, is my dream cause I love heights – yes I do! If I had the money I would love to get married in a hot air balloon ride for sure.

I choose this picture of the hot air balloon for an other reason too, not just for dreams or cause I have it on my blog. No. it’s something about this picture I like and I think it’s the space around it, the freedom, the clouds, the simplicity of where it is and going. A bit like me and maybe you. We have a freedom, a simplicity if we want it from the Lord. We just need to see it 🙂 . Sometimes we are “to focused” on here and now that we forget about the plan that isn’t ours but the Lord. He can see us everywhere and places we have issues to see infront of us because we don’t allow us that picture.

But back to the “core” of this post….

I believe I met this man in the right time for me, maybe especially cause most other things in my life is so uncertan (work and if I am going to stay where I live right now). I hadn’t given up on “finding” someone. No, I had good conversations with the Lord on this. And the Lord gave me more and more patience on this area. The funny thing is that thirteen years ago when I moved to this region the first time I got a line from the Lord saying “next time you live here, you will meet a man a future hubby”. The Lord never said when or how long I had to live here before meeting this hubby ^^haha^^. But the point is, the Lord had a plan and on the way he gave me more and more patience to where I am and waiting on my future husband 😉 .

I just have to believe and trust the Lord.

Silver boy (cat) suddenly not being well 😢.

We have had a rough weekend 😢😢 that continue until Tuesday…

Friday July 21st; I’ve been on the phone to different veterinary clinics during the last 12 hours to get advice. And if he get werse I have to take him to a veterinary clinic. During the night or Saturday morning.

The night towads Saturday 22nd of July; I have checked him every 2nd hour this night, so now I feel like someone drove over me with a big machine 🤪😔😴😴😴.

I will try to sleep a bit.

I am laying so I can watch him from my bed. He slept in his favorite spot in the bathroom, on the top of the water tank is like a shelf and there he has his “tower bed”.

Saturday 22nd, at 1.30pm I went to the farmacia to buy pipette syringes so I could force him some water, which the veterinary told I should try. I were also looking for litter byt didn’t find any 😔.

You know the feeling (if you have a cat at home) when you really need litter and you haven’t slept as you should, you go on autopilot…

So I phoned a local grocery store and asked them if they had litter, they had plenty they said. 🤩🤩. So even if I just wanted to sleep I headed out at 4pm. Catch a bus at approxy 4.22pm. Went to this specific grocery store I’d phoned and bought 2 bags (one bag 5 liter = 1,32 gallons or 169.07 fl oz US or 175.975 fl oz UK) of 5 liter in each.

And Saturday showed us some blue sky and sunshine the first in more then a week!

So it felt so wrong to wear wool and a wind jacket. But should I do? Feeling almost sick becauce I lack sleep 🤪🤪.

The good signs from Silver started to show this afternoon 😊😊. The first sign, he met me when I got home 🤩 The second good sign, he wanted some snacks 💙💙. But that was it for some hours.

But I had to continue force him water…

We went to bed aroun 01am and he came to sleep in my bed, which he hasn’t since May this year becauce of Aslan. Aslan woke me up around 04.30am was hungry & playful. And Silver sat up and looking on me but I didn’t get it. But after I put my head on the pillow again I realized it! Silver was hungry 😊😊😍😍. So I gave gim soaked dry food so he could both drink and eat. Becauce I thought about that – during Saturday evening, it might be his teeths, that he has pain in them?!?.

Sunday 23rd was better. He showed good signs all day. He ate better, drank better and started to sleep more normal times and used the litterbox. ❤ Silver <3.

Monday 24th has been a bumpy ride for both me and Silver 😦 . He has been eaten okay, taken malt with vitamines but not drinking so well 😦 He has been awake aproxy every 4th hour as normal <3. He is still fighting <3.

But I have to say, and I have talked to him about it cause he has been with me for 7 long good years, that if he is to sick and will suffer before he gets better I rather “put him down”. I don’t want him to suffer. I can’t see him in pain. It hurts me too. I will miss him so much if I have to, but it is for him I’ll do it. Health first! It will be so empthy without him ❤ . Even if I’ll have Aslan a bit longer then I have to give Aslan away too or put him down too…I have been reacting on Aslans fur in the way I have issues to breath. Here it is again. Health first.

I phoned a vet to get an appointment for Silver (today) Monday 24th, non had an appointment before earliest Tuesday 25th 2pm. I am praying every awake moment that Silver will fight as much as he can. He has been my “boy” for 7 years… I love him so much.

Tuesday 25th, we had an appointment 2pm, got there by friends 1.55pm. The vet checked Silver and he showed pain in the stomache. So they gave Silver some sedative medicine that made him tired and nauseous, so he threw up 3 times (poor thing).

The sedative medicine has started to kick in.

They took an MR. Luckly it didn’t show any bad. Then they checked the temperatur (normal temperatur at cat’s is between 38-39°C) Silver had 39,6°C 😢😢

Here we are outside the clinic.

I were worried all the time for him, becauce he is my “boy”. I have had him since he was 1,5 y.o. I would be destroyed if I lost him now. Thank you Lord for let me have a bit longer. I have prayed so many prayers for my Silver those last five day’s 🙏 he has been fighting.

He will be on antibiotics for 7 day’s from today 💙🐈💙.

Here he is laying resting after he ate some dry cat food 4:39pm.

We were home around 3.30pm ish and say, Aslan was happy! Silver will be “a bit groggy” after the sedative medicine most all day today 😢😢 but he is alive, living, breathing 💙🐈💙.

A mix of the latest pattern I’ve done, July23.

I have more energy after approxy 6pm mostly and therefor I’ll start with my projects later in a Day. For the last day’s I’ve started on “finding the right pattern”. You who sew probobly understand what I mean. For the rest of you, when you buy an old pattern you get a sheet of all the different parts in one sheet and then the challenge is to find all the parts. You’ll see in the end of this blog what I mean.

The first pattern here is; Linen pants in sand color.

Linen patns, my leg lenght (91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch).

I measuredd my waist, cut a 10cm wide waist, fold it and sewed it and then I thought how cool it would be to sew a more fancy fabric on the inside. Both for fun and for comfty.

Fancy fabric on the inside of the waist.

I thought the same thing for the pockets.

The same fancy fabric on the inside of the pockets.

So I will sew pants in linen in my lenght 🤩. My legs are tall, cause I am 6″2’1 or 189cm. (My torso is quite tall to for my hight, which will be interesting when I start to sew more fitable dresses ^^haha^^.) My innerseam on pants are 91cm or 35 ⁵³/₆₄ inch = tall woman ;-). I got a par of linen pants years ago but they ar ea bit wide in the waist… and this summer I got linen fabric from a girlfriend and yes there we are. 🙂

The 2nd pattern & the 2nd dress here is: “fancy dress” the white curtain.

To find the right pattern isn’t easy…
But I did it 😍 Do you see the lines I filled in? That’s the pattern.

Online dating, part 8. Different in a good way – I hope.

I haven’t written about this for a while mostly becauce I haven’t been on any dates lately. Still haven’t. But I am talking to a very interesting man those day’s 😊.

We both wanted to meet, but circumstances did we were not able to before he had to catch a ✈ to London and then an other ✈ to the Black Sea area for work.

So now we’ve been talking for approxy a week, I think he gets more and more interesting. Unusual experience for me. Not comman, but we have also learn we have more and more in comman 😊.

He is different then the others I’ve talked to in many ways!! Good ways.

We will be talking online until he is back from work in mid-August or maybe later 🤪🙂. 🤞 this just will be better the more we get to know each other.

I have been chatting with several man the two last months, and it’s “always” one part where they just have to talk about sex. And if you ask for a date and saying you don’t want to have sex on the first date they block you 😆😆. I haven’t even said why. I don’t think it’s worth talking with a man when he react that way.

Which is why this man I’m now talking to. The sex talk hasn’t been up yet, which I like. So,yes, he is different in a good way.

Exploring my county, July 19th.

Left home 09:40am, bus 09:52am towards Sandnes bus & train hub. To catch a new bus at 10:13am.

Today I’ve been exploring 😊, walked in residential areas I never been b4. I’ve taken busses I just seen in Sandnes or Stavanger bushub. Seen where, e.g. Forus Arena is located (where most major concerts for Stavanger and nearby municipalities take place). And I haven’t been stressed just smiling.

Sola municipality, 10.30am.

The rain or wind wasn’t a bad thing. If I weren’t on a bus I found shelter 😉

On a bus between Sola and Randaberg.

I did all this both becauce I have been wanting this since I moved back but also becauce I found cheap books online (via a website here in Norway where you can buy used things, a common website for the whole of Norway) for my upcoming studies which start in mid-August.

Randaberg square, not much here. 12.30 to 13pm.

When I got off the bus I knew I had to eat b4 I headed home-over.

PizzaBakeren.

PizzaBakeren (the pizza chain that started here in Rogaland) is my favorite and today it was a pizza with a thin crust.

I catched an other bus back in to Stavanger train station (13:05pm) waited maybe 20 min at the train station (13:20ish pm) and sat on the train home to Ganddal. On the train it was raining but my walk home were not 😊.

So I’ve got to see and explore and buy non-fiction / subject literature during 4.5 hours 😊😊😊 .

Learning by misstakes, part 2.

So I went to my candycstore – selfmade – and bought what I needed and asked about the pattern. How to understand it and how it actually is gonna look, how to cut it right and then what kind of fabric I need under.

A lady helped me with all my questions 😊😊

And when I got home I started to cut new pieces and for one piece I had sew two together a seam you only notice when you know it’s there 😊

And I’ve overlocked all the pieces tonight.

Tomorrow comes the big challenge to sew all pieces together 🤪 a challenge I am both looking forward to and are totally scarred for.

But here are tonight’s picture after the folding the fabric right, cutting of new pieces, overlocking.

Folding the fabric right.
The edges fit each other 😊
Finished overlocking.

Happiness.

Learning by misstake… sewing.

It went well at the start 🙂 and it looks okay with the first 2 pieces.

But then…

🤪🤪🤪 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What happend?

Well I have to find the pattern to what went wrong! But not tonight! And I also need coffee and something to eat.

I’ll try again tmrw.

From cat on trial to perment staying – Aslan.

So we had Aslan (Gardfiled) on trial for 3 day’s in April. After those 3 day’s he stayed. Silver and Aslan (becuase he is orange and walks like a lion) become friends. they have there moments where Aslan is trying to show Silver he wants to be in charge but Silver answers with a small fight and winning by Aslan laying down on the floor “I give up for now”.

Time flies by and Aslan has now been with us for almost 4 months (!) He has becoming an indoor cat and accepting it, he were more of an outdoor cat before we got him. He will be able to learn to walk in leach just like Silver does, but his first issue was to let me put a “neckless” on him that he wouldn’t take off as fast as it got on ^^haha^^. He has been learning a lot this time here and he is young (only 3 years old) so he will be able to learn even more.

The nxt thing for him was to learn is to not eat up all the food, cause Silver also need food! He or both get less food now, I do have one bowl with dry food out all day but more important is it’s always water.

They are friends most the time but in the between they fight, Aslan still trying to set Silver to not be the oldest, the boss etc. But Aslan is the younger will always be more playful, have more energy, talk more because it’s his personality. Silver trying his best to adapt too, he was the only cat for 4 years, it’s not easy for him neither.

We all do our best to adapt ❤ the life we have. I couldn’t leave Aslan to not be able to live a life with us therefor I let him stay. He was probobly a Corona-Cat, left to himself to survive. He has his issues, but overall he is a very cozy cat. Loves to sleep in my bed, next to my back. He wakes me up in the morning, if he can decide 05am… But yet he has managed to go to bed my time approxy 11pm, and that I do pull down the blinds for the night (first of all for Silver so he wouldn’t start to play around 03am and wake me up) but also now with 2 cat’s.

A lot to learn but he is young our Aslan.

From curtain length to a simple dress.

Here it comes 🤩🤩🤩🤩 the Blue curtain length. Today’s 3rd project and I am so happy I did it 🤩🤩🤩.

I did my style. A bit wider in the neck and a fold-over-point a bit lower then my waist, just because it looked better when I tryed it on. Next picture is from the orginal pattern.

July 9th

Today’s first project the bucket outside.

The transformation….

I managed to spend some time out in the shadow and paint in happy colors so this bucket matching the flower pots 🤩🤩.

July 8th 23

I woke up around 9.30am saw the Sunlight coming in through my window and just wanted to make coffee and sit outside, just like mom always did. So I did 😍.

Realizing how convenient it was to have the app for my blog on my phone, and how little I actually haven’t written since I took away from my phone… So I had to down load it again.

During my cup of coffee I took care of my flowers outside on the stairs – “my garden” – as I don’t even have a patch of garden…

Cleaning b4 fixing how the flowers should stand 😊.
My seeds that I sowed in April has starting to grow 🤩 and soon I will have sunflowers.

Yesterday I bought 4 different curtains lenths at a 2ndhand store, washed an off-white one together with a linen fabric. Today I drew a pattern for a dress I’ve wanted to try sewing for few years but didn’t have the courage. Now I’ll use the curtain length to sew different types of dresses.

Dress pattern.

Next step, after resting my back a bit in the couch, will be to add the pattern to the fabric 😊.

Short update about life July23

This is a short update about life. Lot’s have happend yet no job. But I trust the Lord for the right job and will not stress about it. I have made up my mind to relax, look for job every second day and the other day’s I’ll have summer Holiday. I will explore my county, my local area, Islands in Rogaland (county) or just sit home and sew. Learn new patterns, new types to sew.

Butterflies stands for changes. And I believe a good change will come, that the Lord are providing me a new good change. And I can for sure say He is works with my patience in this specific area!

Christian music – what I wish I would listen to it more often!! How much strength it is there! In my house the radio stands on for my cat’s, but this Summer I have to remind myself to listen to Christian music more!!

Tomorrow (8th of July) I am planing to go for a day trip to one Island called Kvitsøy, cause the weather should be nice and to windy for an island. Cross fingers here. And if I have more energy I’ll sew if not I’ll be sketching and paint clothes – something I figured out helps my brain – I literally enjoying it.

But that’s tomorrow.
