Easter is here again. What’s different? Not much. Still Corona, same weather today as it was the same date last year. ☁️⛅ windy7m/s, 🌡+11°C .
1pm, april 2nd.
2pm, april 2nd, 2021… more clouds.
I’ve just been out for a very short walk with Silver 🐈 who didn’t like the wind either.
It’s Good Friday today and I guess most Christian go to Church normally and in this Corona pandemic you maybe go for a walk with the preaching in your ears or if you live where you can get together in a home do that. 🙂😉.
Spring sign outside my home.
This Wednesday me and a girl friend went on a day trip to a place called Horten, it’s approxy 1,5 hour drive South from Høvik, Bærum. Coast town. Pretty small-town in Norway!
Horten, March 31st.
We were not lucky with the weather. It started to rain on out way in to the town but it didn’t matter us. We just wanted to do something 😉 . So we did.
Yesterday April 1st, I had a day in. Started on my mom’s Summer dress. Redesign. Mom was as highest 5″10 and I am 6″2, so you migth understand that the clothes I got after my mom they become too short or wrong proportions on me… 😆😆.
From uncut to the style I want and fits my long legs and shape.
How would you say you did Easter before the Corona pandemic?
I have to say that I don’t have had to change much. I am still singel, with friends who are married and don’t have the same time to spend with me. Before and in the pandemic. Sad yes. Biologic family still most of them in Sweden, Norwegian family still in Norway, but as I wrote, most of them with less time. Why? Well that’s life.
I live my life quite the same as before the Corona pandemic. And it’s fine!😉
Being creative when I have the body & energy 😊.
I have to say life is good even in this pandemic!! 😊😊😊 I have what I need. I am blessed with much.
I wish you all have and will have A Great Easter wherever you are in the World.
But now it is almost Easter I will have a perfect time for a blog with updates because I will try to have a Non Media Easter as much as possible.
I just have been in my packing mode... and still am.
This is how I feel.
So, what have I’ve done since last blog… well that is a good question! I have been sewing a lot for customers, for myself and I’ve been packing more then less every day and I have been going to the gym twice a week.
Re-sewed tiny baggypants to really baggypants.
what I’ve sewed in February.
Re-sewed 2ndhand cloths.
to the left, “when you only need one pocket” & a mini toilette bag.
In January I started this «non media fasting» because I got challenge to do that. February was not a month where I was «away» from media as in a week or not even seven days in a row. But I was not checking Facebook or Instagram every day which is in the right direction I want. I don’t have the need to post new things and I don’t have a need to check what’s happening on Facebook every day, which is the most often places I visit. And to realize that I don’t have a «need» is so relaxing! But I will try my best to not be on media this Easter, which I wrote in the beginning of this blog-post.
relaxing cup of tea.
Ten years back I was a very social person. I just had to be social with friends, later-on I was «hooked» on Facebook which isn’t good either. Now I just enjoy to be home take it easy, sew when I feel for it or read a good book. I don’t «hang» with friends more often then twice a month and those times are most likely a movie night during the dark part of the year or a rainy summer-day. I meet friends from Church every week except when it’s Easter or and other Holiday because I have a House Church I’ll join. (House Church is a smaller group of people that meets from Church once a week in someone’s home, we share the last week with each other, praying for each other and sometimes we also sing.)
March came and is nearly gone… and I can’t really say what I have done more then I’ve got in to a good rhythm with going to the gym… I was a part of a Christian Conference for Woman that is called Jesus Woman (Jesus Kvinner Nordisk 2016) in Oslo, Norway
and then few days later my back «crashed» because I was overdoing what my back could handle a pertinently… But I am doing fine now and trying to walk a bit more now when the snow and ice is gone.
It is for real Springtime outside. I love it even if I have some problems with the pollen.. And the rest of this month, I’ll actually pack the rest of the boxes and all that’s left to pack because I’m moving next weekend. I’m not moving far, but I upgrade from the basement apartment (on 25sqm) where I live now to the loft apartment and 15sqm bigger. 🙂 where I will be able to have a room just for my creativity! 🙂 and I will also go to Sweden and get a cat from my bonus baby-sister. And I haven’t had a cat in 19 years (!) but it will be nice to come home to something I’ll get feedback from when I say something.
