Colorexperimenting without chemicals at home.

How often do you  think “can I color at home without chemicals?” Like old day’s. Or how do I do it?

I’ve been on Google searching for this. I found out that one way to figure it out is to actually try by your self. Just remember to ad 1 spoon of salt when you boil it! I boiled each color for minimum 20 minutes.

I wanted to find out if I could coloring at home without chemicals mostly because I know the chemicals isn’t good for me, the fabric or the environment.

I chosed to try red onion 

I can’t say it colored much but it was white before.

Saffron ..

Green tea…

Curry …

Coffee-beans and filter coffee ..

Remember to ad 1 spoon of salt when you wash it afterwards and together with similar colors in the machine.

Have fun!

Blazer, pretty look and high heels.

New season. New job. New clothing. New colleges.   I have started my new trainee-job at Radisson Nydalen in north Oslo. So far have I had “one week” it was actually only two half day’s with information. This last week was the proper week with learning some of my tasks for the rest of my time here. Except for the part that this week is the first week I needed new clothing. For me that meant a new wardrobe well at least one part of only office clothes. I can wear dark blue or black Jeans or nice pants, the blazer shall also be blue or black and I need high heels when I walk in and out from back-office. If you’d asked me ten years ago that wasn’t me. Luckily both I and my work has changed.

I enjoy this work so far. It’s not just a job for me. It is in the environment I like. I hope this can lead to a proper job.

Since I started the course in office and administration two years ago, my dream was to work in Radisson Hotel. Which apartment I did not know and which hotel did not matter either back than. Now, after a year in the reception I know that is not me or where I can do my best. It was okay for what it was but to use my knowledge and learn even more in an office is where I get satisfied.

This feels right.

Re-Sewing. Learning too sew in clothes & tighten. Fun. Good Results.

 Long time since I wrote here.. But let me tell you what I have done the last month. I had those two skirts, I got them as kind of a gift few years back, they never fitted me, and I did not know how to do anything because of no knowledge about or in this area.. But I thought, if I rip up the seem, see how its done I guess I can do it. So that’s what I’ve done and I’ve been learning so many things on my own way /  journey. 🙂 Those pictures is what I managed to do. The black is re-sewed and the red is needled up.

 This skirt on the left side did I last year as soon as I could sew after my knee operation,Image this year have I fixed what I didn’t like with my friend Janome. 🙂Image

 I got a question from my dad if I could sew a skirt to my mama. In that phone call I said, no I can’t. So one of the reasons I’ll try everything in clothes right now is to be able to sew i skirt to mam. I am going to visit them this summer and I am thinking I should do it there. Take some extra day off just to be with mama and help her to find what’s fits her. In the mean time I just have to learn More. 🙂

Image Here is one of many “Zip Project” this is one of my favorite sweater. So if you have a sweater you like who doesn’t have a Zip, I can help you. 😉 Get a Cooler Sweater !Or if you have pants that you wanna do something else off let me know I we find out what will be best.

On the pic under, you found my pants that, was even from the beginning, short legs on, on me who are 6″ish. I thought I had given them away but found them in the storage and now I’ve got nice summer shorts to my sandals.

Last year was the year and the start with my own sewing machine. A lot to learn. But eager as I am I through my self on it. I have explored a lot of things I didn’t had a clue of and I still learning many things on my machine. Its like life learning just began. Interesting and a lot of Fun most the time !! I could give you more pics, but I’ll save some of them to the next blog post. As I said before, I am still a beginner in this. And write the best blog will probably never be me. I just wanna shear want I am learning and tell you that if you can’t sew and need some help I would love to help you !!
