Sewing skirt(s) in December 2024 & January 2025 with redesign in 2012 😉.

Last minute skirt which I made in 5 hours 😊😆🤪. I didn’t have a Christmas skirt so at 11pm the 17th of December-24, got I an idea in my head 😆😆. “If I cut a pair of jeans so I can redesign my red wool sweater into a Christmas skirt!” Which I did. I cut the jeans just before I went to bed. 

The 18th of December after work I used five hours on sewing the skirt just so I would be able to wear it the 19th at work 😆😆. It got a bit to short to my long legs 😆😆. But I wear it.

The sweater was a bit to see-through so I added thick wowen cotton fabric under.
Just a bit too short to my length 😆

After love used it I made it longer with the neck part of the sweater 😉.

Here is it in full length on little Christmas eve the 23rd 😉. I travelled in it and that was perfect! It hold me warm 😊.

January 2025, more sewing 😊.

While I am finishing the blue cocktail dress which takes a bit longer time than I thought… Have I upcycling another skirt 😉.

In 2012, I bought my sewing machine and started to sew.

This was once a sweater…

In 2012 the sweater became a skirt.
I just cutter off the neck part on the sweater and put elastic band in the waist.

I was never really satisfied with how it sat on me but it was one of my first upcycling- skirts. I have now upcycling it one more time 😊😊.

The inspiration colour to the second upcycling, black and orange.

Since the first upcycled jeans skirt with a sweater or just random fabric, have I wanted a orange skirt. Now I finally have it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.

Once I got a pair of jeans send to me from a person I actually never met. I jeans was with 38″ (inches) and didn’t fit the other person.  Those jeans has been hanging in my wardrobe for more than a year… So now it’s time to redesign them!
I started with the decorations Friday 17th.
Purple is the contrast colour to Orange.
I tried with other things first, picked it up and now I go for Black in the front.

I’ll continue sewing on my orange skirt this weekend (17th – 19th of January) so I can use it this spring 😊.

December 22nd and traveling north for Christmas, oh no it got cancelled 🤬 but I will get there eventually. Christmas Holiday part one.

That was the plan at least. I got nervous already at 2pm when I heard flights were cancelled at Heathrow, London UK and hoped it wouldn’t be the same here. I arrived to the airport in good time (8pm) and got my bagage checked in and past the safety control without a problem. Walking towards the gate, (8:30pm ish) I overheard other passengers also going to Trondheim, saying ” we have to find an other flight ” and I realised the flight was cancelled.

I went to pick up my suitcase and txted friends. I called one friend because my adhd brain needed to calm down. I realised quickly that it wouldn’t help to go home and try to sleep and call a taxi to be back at the airport around 7am. So I’m still at the airport. 

Bought night snacks/ food and a espresso.

[Boring info, I ate and drank my coffee] Because the flight was cancelled by the airline they also got meca new ticket and a new time for departure.

New boarding time is 08:35am the 23rd, towards Oslo [one of few airports I hate]. Hopefully it will go well for my adhd [that’s why I hate big airports]. I am on my way up north, towards my brother and sister in law at #haltdalen south of Trondheim but north of Røros.

Walked to the arriving board to check if my new flight had got there with information. Walked past a good couch where I’m laying right now (23:40/11:40pm) I have set the alarm for “working alarm” at 06:30am and hoping I’ll manage to rest maybe sleep some. But the lights in the ceiling are quite bright… but I am tired!

11:40pm Sola airport, 22nd of December 24.

I woke up 04:30am from passangers walking past where I tried to sleep. Manage to rest 30 min more b4 I really needed the wc. I have maybe ‘slept’ 4 hours at the airport,

…already checked in my suitcase and got my double espresso. 06:30am and soon breakfast….

I’ll boarding in an hour (08:05am).


My pray now is to I stay awake when needed and can relax or eat at Gardermoen/ osl airport  and that I don’t get migraine.

2023 – is it possible to have such bad luck in a year?!

What a year!

Injury plus sickleave in January and February.

Psycholigical sad health for months and wierd feelings towards work and the staff there ( Bore school 22-23).

Some happiness in the middle of everything. April23. And I got few new friends through the job at Bore.

A good summer 🙂 . Some walks nearby Ganddal/Sandnes. Some day’s inside but Happy.

June was okay and Aslan wanted to stay but Silver wanted to be alone….and I got allergic to Aslan 😦 .

July23 – Summer and exploring Rogaland by bus. 🙂

August was a mix of lots of deny on job’s but I stayed positive and like the flower here bright full of colors and reaching to the sun, I stayed on my feets and

filled my life with more colors.

…but sad September….

October become good 🙂 with the move back to Stavanger, more jobs and more good routines. Good athmospher at work, like I really don’t want to be sick’n’home good! And walking distance!!

Walking in Faith-month! Concussion-month…. = November.

December. Snowy Winter weeks and then rain (which is the normal), a cold but also a lot of good work 🙂

I think I have had more then enough bad luck in one year! So I’ll do my very best to stay on my both feets all the way in 2024!!

Buy I have also been blessed in different ways during the Year which I am thankful for.

I spent Christmas Eve alone with my cat, but have enjoyed it! I bought two gifts to myself this year thanks to the blessing in beginning of December 🤩. One of the xmas gifts was a newer smartphone and the other was a memory foam seat pillow for my sore and often sad back. And how happy I am for it! It helps my back a lot!! I even think I might buy an extra.

With the new pillow I have today, both tryed to sew for more then 30min (and it worked) I was sewing for two hours! 😍😍. And I have almost finished my sewing projects from 2020.

I only need to sew buttons and one seam.

I am looking forward to 2024. I really do. I have plans and I’ll do my very best to keep them come true. I am curious on what the Lord has for me in 2024! I am in a good place and I am planning to stay here as long as the Lord can use me.

Have a blessed 2024 all of you who following my blog. And keep sharing the posts you like or the posts that somehow have helped you forward.

I need and want to work, but are home with fever.

This week started good I thought… but in the afternoon Monday (11th) I got fever… I had to go to the farmacy after work – medication, which sadly led to more fever.

Here I am home today Tuesday (12th) and will be tmrw too. I’ve watched Chicago P.D. and I am tired of that now. I am also tired but can’t fall a sleep 🤐🤬. Hungry but no extra energy 😐😔. Think I’ll be home at least tmrw and Thursday.

I got cold on my feets this last Friday and that was sadly it 🤬 . I can only pray 🙏 this fever dont stay’s in my body for 14 day’s as it has been b4. I need and want to work.

12th of December 23.

And got a blessing the day b4, and went down town and bought Winter shoes on Saturday. They are good 😊 but that didn’t help much… Annoying situation!

Project December 22.

I finally found the old doors I have dreamed about for years, this December.

Hoe the old doors look like when I bought them.
Sanded, first layer of colour on one side.
Golden door with one layer of black.
Table legs, 2nd hand, perfect.
2 of the legs screwed into the door, temporary solution with reused plastic bags from coffee as a temporary cover until I bought the plexiglas I need to protect the paint.

I can now finally sew. 😍😍🧵📍✂️

Updating the layout for 2022.

If you visiting my blog today – 28th of December – you’ll see that the post’s getting in under menu’s, which is how I want it. Sadly I haven’t figured it out how to do it while I am posting it, therfor I’ll do after a while which happend today.

Hope you understand and find what you are looking for.

Christmas Day -22.

Remember to enjoy this day no matter if you are with friends, family or alone at home or away! It’s a day for us all no matter where we are in life! Jesus was born for you.

I am home alone, almost, my cat is with with me…

Listening to the sound from the TV service..

I am watching the early morning Christmas Day service, which in Sweden is called ‘julotta’ and in Norway called ‘julemesse’. This was something I gladly did every year as an aduldt with my mom, and now 2 years after ahe died I do it with thoughts of her ❤Mom❤.

With one of my favorite songs during Christmas “Holly night” 💜. I need to hear it at least once on Christmas Day.

Christmas is often said “to spend time with family & friends” probably becauce it’s a long tradition and what most people are used to do. But my question is; why can’t you or me be alone in this time and celebert Christmas? I like being alone at home and just be, doing nothing or being creative. No stress, no must’s, just me 😊. I don’t say I don’t like being with friends during Christmas. I like the mix of both. Yet, I think it’s interesting how most people thinks ” you must/should not be alone during Christmas “. Why?

I am curious about what you think, please write your thoghts if you like this post.

I have to say I have been like this since I were a child, so those thought are not new. I don’t say I don’t miss having “my own family and spend time with them” even during Christmas or any other Holiday. I guess I am saying I like my Quality time to do what I like 😉. Anyway, I am never alone cauce the Lord is always with me no matter where I am or what I do 😊✝️.

Maybe you work this weekend, then you are with co-workers, not alone all the time yet you will have time to be alone and / or a chose to be with your loved once. Maybe you don’t have a family and spend most of your days alone and need to spend time with friends this weekend, then do! As long as you enjoy it ❤. We all have different life and we all have different needs in life and it’s okay 😉.

So back to the first line of this post remember to enjoy this time of Christmas alone or with friends or family. Do it your way and Enjoy it.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas eve, 24th of December 22.

A resume of today to you all.

I woke up with headache 🤪 07:30am, but that is now almost over 10am. I’ve just been dribking my coffee and watching “the Christmas story for kids” on the television, which they send from 1st of December to the 24th every year. A new story every year, it’s more like a drama play. And often some kind of action in the story.

I am going to fulfill the Christmas decoration of the Christmas tree 🎄 with lights and go for a walk with Silver before I heading out.

🎄💝☃️10am 😍💝🎄
Dinner with a co-worker and her family. 7pm.
Decoration at dinner.
Merry Christmas.
Christmas tree, as it should be. 🤩.

And at home I just had to watch Home alone the original.

14th, 15th, 17th & 18th of December-22

Words from the Lord.

❄❄❄😍😍😍, December 16th.

Maybe you say “yes what about it” or “wow”. Whatever you think. It’s rare with snow here so I am like a child today. Happiness. Snow 😍😍😍. I can only enjoy it even if the bus was 20 min late just becauce of the snow 😆😆.

Happiness.

Winterland 22.

❄❄❄❄2022, Ganddal, Bore etc.

It started to snow Tuesday 6th to Wednesday 7th night here in Sandnes municipality and neighboring municipalities. Which it hasn’t in years and is so Unusual that when it happends you just have to enjoy it.

Kleppekrossen walk between “my” busses.

I managed to slide right outside my work, and landed on all four which means pain for me in my sad knee and sad wrist. Which led to one cruch to work Thursday and Friday… But hey, one or two cruches for me doesn’t mean I can’t work. I am to used to use them when I work that it’s just everyone elses question I have to answer.

Thursday morning.
Icy schoolyard vs snowy road, Friday 9th, waiting on the bus to get home. 🌡-3°C but it felt like -10°.
Saturday 10th.
The first walk in the snow this December for Silver, he showed clearly it was cold and scarry so he wasn’t out more then max 5 minutes. My brave indoor cat 😍🐈😍.

The snow is still here, Monday 12th, and it has even come more snow this weekend 😍😍 and today. If 🤞 we are lucky. We’ll have snow for Christmas 😍😍🤞🤞🤞 and not just the cold temperature.

I enjoy every moment of this winter. And counting down (in my head) to the 21st when I go on Christmas holiday 🤩 .

12th of December, -22.

Words from the Lord.

Today I have been thinking of the word grace. How we use it and how we use it. Mostly “we can recieve grace from the Lord “, but how can we use it in our daily life as christians? Well, I think that by being thankful for what the Lord is doing in us every day we recieve grace and by grace we can reach our co-workers in a higher level then they understand. So, what is my piont? Well, I say pray for your co-workers every day and the Lord can do miracles.
