Advents calender, 5th December
It’s the 5th 😊 and today’s verse comes from Proverbs 2:8-9
To understand how our heavenly Father watching over us, how He helps us to be righteousness in our life. He helps us to find justice in all our paths.
God loves us so much.
He wants the best for us but we also need to understand how or when He is talking to is and corrects us. 💜

Doing a good cause for your city.
Crochet or knit hats and scarves. The church’s input in Norway – Kirkens bymisjon – is in the process of the annual “doing a good cause for your city”. It means that if you can knit or crochet you can help those who are poor to have a better Autumn and Winter.
I have since last Sunday crocheting Winter hat’s in different sizes from rest yarn that is just laying at home.
This is the one I started on last Sunday during the Church service;
(Adult size)
It is relaxing and it goes so fast to crochet them. 😉 Those two I made during the week after work – internship – in-front of the television.
(Kids size)
(Adult size)
This one I just started on… (big adult size);
Soon it’s time to buy some yarn othervice I will not be able to crochet at all…. But this is one of the creative things I will be doing this Autumn.
Join in to to do some good cause’s for your city! 😉
Rehabilitering at home – healing good.
So it has been two weeks since I fainted or got “overheated”. I have not been using the computer more than less at all. I can not say I have not been on Facebook or Instagram because I have (on the smartphone) but I have not been online for more than maximum 8-10 minutes. 😊 Today is the first day “back in the computer world” which basic means I am looking for jobs or doing research off a school I would like to have work-experience at.
Last Wednesday I got rid of the stitches and everything is healing good. 😊
I am still sore in my face but I am less red on my cheek and even that is healing. Here (below) I had to cool-down my head 😂 over-heated indoor 😣 just using an ice-block works perfect. 😊
Indoor I do not need the patch but …
… outdoor and in the night I still need it 😟 to cover it against dust and sun.
I have slowly been able to sew again
and trying to finish up easy projects. Like the silk top (below) which I bougth the fabric in mid July and this weekend just finished. 😊😊 Here I have been sewing by hand, mostly because the sewing-machine did not like the fabric 😐 but it was very relaxing and like rehab to do . 😊
This and last week I am back in the course, not a problem at all. Last week was not long day’s which helped a lot! The weather went back to normal. Which is between +20° to +28°C. Fits me much better.
I am walking past so many beautiful flowers on my way to the course, which I just wanted to end this blog with.
I have to say, life is to short to complain on, so I am thinking positive and what I have been through I take with me as an other type of experience.

An other year has past part one.
This morning started with coffee spots on my hoodie ☹ they were there from before but I had forgot about them 😂😂😂 anyway… So instead of trying to find an other hoodie I was creative with colours covering the coffee.
Why you migth think, well I just wanted to use my white hoodie with black lips on the front on my Birthday today. I wanted something I haven’t used in a long time. 😉
Lets see if my colleague know which day it is today….they did and they wanted to celebrate me with lunch out.
After work I met up with my friend Bobbi Jo and went to the Swedish MAX Burger place.
Even if I was filled since lunch I ate a burger meal 😆 We headed of to Nails art and got my very first manicure 😲😊😍
I’m finally on my way home 💞 after 12 hours! I am thankful for my body isn’t tired yet.
The final last thing that made my day was the phone greeting from my family in Sweden 💞💞💞
The celebration will continue tomorrow…

Colours in life.2.
My inspiration to colours in life comes mostly from some interior magazines.
This is my second book of inspiration, or scrap-book as most people would say, where I do my version of “the pins” you find online. I have to keep my inspiration or ideas when I find something I like. Most people who buy a interior magazines maybe keep it a month, I keep it for years. I go back and find something “new” I have not seen or maybe I did not like it when this magazine was new in my home..
Here is few pictures from my 2nd scrap-book… it’s a good mix of Christmas to how to organize flowers with candle ligths 😉…
Some ideas from my first scrap-book..
This is like a candy store for me.
This gives me lots of positive energy and it’s relaxing for me, it’s like to “go in to a hobby room” even if I just do this in my couch or sewing-corner. 😆😆😆

Colours in Life.
Sorry (to everyone who following my blog) I have not written in a while! I’ve been travel and time has fled to fast since last blog! It’s been a bit crazy with a new work-experience place…
Any way,
I don’t know how you see me, more then maybe a very creative person, but I love colours. Strong colours. And I need colours in my life. My home for example has colours and it’s not the ordinary home like everyone else. Yes, it’s my chaos with colours. 🙂 It makes me HaPpy. I have had a dream of a red kitchen since I was a teenager, I don’t think this kitchen I have in mind will be totally red in the future as I dreamt of but that’s okay. As long as I have one spot in red I will be happy.
You know how much I love the Autumn, which is a season of lots of colours therefor the featured picture of a leaf. Which leads med to the pictures I’m gonna post here, some may be pictures I’ve shared before.
Creative infront of the television
Reparing knitted socks infront of whats on Eurosport ☺
This is me when I relax infront of the TV with a good game of Ice-Hockey or some down hill – Alpin sport 😊
I manage to fix many socks if it’s a lot of good sports ob the television like Saturdays most are.
Something my dear Mom learn me a long time ago. ❤
And here is the result of one sock 😉
So it’s not just sewing that is relaxing! But that too…
Here is my “table” which actully is my floor. It is easier to work on the floor even if my cat boy Silver likes to come and sit on the fabric…
Here I am needling up wher to sew. Following the stripes so the jeansfabric don’t make “bobles” under.
It’s gonna be a bag for a blow-up-bed so you easy can carrie it with you.
Work in process…
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!

This lovely Summer-time….
I been thinking about what I’ve done for the last few month since I moved in here…It’s actually been quite much.
Since I moved in here I’ve met new people from an ecumenical Christians group, the 3rd of June I took my first swim in the Fjord, it was at least +20 C in the water. Lovely! (but I have not done it since…)
(The trip went the 18th of June with two male friends from my Church, I’ve been writing of this before so I skip it.) This week was also a creative week at home. I made some hanging baskets for my flowers, fixed some pants and made a home-made pizza.
The 11th of June had the ecumenical group a new gathering with this group. An evening in the team of “prophetic gives”. Very interesting!
The Monday after I had dinner with my friend (who been to Bible-school) and catch up time for the last year and shared with her a bit from the Saturday evening. Lovely time!
And how much that have been happening during this year in both her and my life! Good stuff!!
I went back to the same area the day after but to visit my friend with the twine’s. Great time to spend with them!!
A bit more then a moth ago now, got I a summer-haircut, a bit to short for my taste but hey my hair grows like grass. So now one and a half month later I have the length I like. 🙂
Two days after the Sweden-trip a friend of mine came to visit me in this apartment. We had some good few hours just chatting and catching up what’s going on in each others life’s. It was nice!
I’ve been cooking both soup and dinner that now is in the freezer, I love it when I have the energy to do that and fill up my freezer.
I would love to have a bigger freezer but hey, I can’t have everything at once.
In the boxes (from Sweden) I have found so many things that I both didn’t know I was missing until I found them and off-course things I do have been missing. One of those thing was the mop-set to clean my apartment with the green soap.
I love that scent!
I found the cross-stitching box so I started to make something to a friend (I can’t write what because she hasn’t got it get).
In the end of June I had a friend (who lives in Seattle) staying in my home. Nice, cool and fun. She stayed four days. Lovely time to have! I have to get a job so I can go and stay in her home!
About two weeks ago I realized I needed and wanted new shoes, some kind of boots that I could use during Spring-Summer-Autumn. A shoe I actually been looking for, for some time. So I went into a store just looking around to see if I could find something I liked. And I didn’t want something “normal” like brown or black. No I wanted something more colorful (because that’s me). But what did I buy? Brown boots. Haha moment! But I realized brown is good. They match my two brown purses I have perfectly.
I’ve been creative with fabric colors, screen print and shoe-pattern. I have not been sewing as much I’d hope for but hey I’ll do it later.
I made pie of cherries from the garden and forest berries from the freezer yesterday. Yummy!
I’ve been to the island Bygdøy here in Oslo with a friend, to chill, talk and walk, I’ve been social with other friends on a movie (which I normally do twice a year).
I enjoy life!
So far has this summer showed us a mix of weather like thunder-storms, sun and rain still with summer-temperature between +13 C to +24 degrees C. Which I think is totally fine.
I’ve been reading books on the nights – just the thing I love to do during the summer!!! I gives me Summer-feeling maximum. A happy feeling.
I want to have a Holiday-feeling which I haven’t had since my last job…which is more then five years ago.. So maybe I’ll get some-kind of Holiday this Summer.

Dreams – goals – visions – good night-dreams…
The word “dreams” means different things for each of us. For you it can be a goal to do something, a daydream, vision or a good night-dream. It says that “to dream” is good for the brain and if you are a creative person you mostly dream more.
I dream a lot during the night. Mostly its unrealistic. Doesn’t make sense. But I still do it. I guess my brain has a lot to work with maybe because I am quite creative and have lots of ideas rolling around.
Some of my dreams are true. Like the one I had in the winter off 2005. I was living in Småland on the east coast south of Stockholm, Sweden. There and then it was just one of this unrealistic dreams. I dreamed I was sitting in a garden, didn’t know where I were. It was at the terrasse on the backside of a white stone house. And it was lots of fruit trees there and cozy. I was living there. And to dream this, when it was winter where I were and that I got all the details was in my head “one of those weird dreams”.
Two and a half years later or more was I sitting in that garden. I was living there, as in the dream. Weird! One of the days in May I think it was. I went out on the terrasse and got this “weird feeling” of “I have been here before”. It was there and then I realized this was the dream I had in Småland in 2005.
Most of my dreams are unrealistic but I remember they all when I wake up, and with every little detail, conversation, colors, area, how things are build or the team. I could write it all down but I have never done it because I remember it. Its like my brain has its own life..and just need to work all the creative ideas through hard. Every little idea becomes so big during the night.
But I also have dreams about what I wanna do later in life. I dream about to be able to buy a small house in the forest of Värmland, Västergötland or Halland, in Sweden. To have my own place where I can escape or just go and be alone, to create, to get inspiration and to invite friends for holidays. Or the dream of an old farm-Barn which I would like to change into a workshop for my business. I’m not a big “day dreamer” in the sense of what we as kids most did.
And I have dreams that has become goals in life. Like the thing to get a job and be able to travel more. To see the world.
As most of the friends I have, they like to travel. I want that too! I have started to dream of places I didn’t think about ten fifteen years ago that I wanna see, like New York, Chicago, Boston, San Fransisco, Seattle, Canada and Alaska. Maybe parts of Asia like Thailand or the Philippines – countries that in my head are “to hot” for me just because I don’t really like to much sun. But who says I have to go there when its the warmest period for the season? When I actually can travel when it fits me.
I wanna start travel now before its to late in life. I want to travel for the wish my mom had all my life and she in the end never did because of other things in her life stopped her. I want to see and explore Europe instead of my mom. My mom said many times “When I retired I’m gonna see Europe”. One of her biggest wishes where to see Praha and Berlin. She never got to see those places because of my dad got more then one stroke and she needed to be home with him.
I wanna do this for her and I will keep dreaming of new places.
