A so-called ad

I've actually got an important issue to post about: the rescue of a so-called "old forest" here in Sweden. It will be demolished mid march unless a lot of people click on the ad on the rescue site - it works just the same way as the breast cancer site, you just click it once a day, and the sponsors pay for every click made.

Please help me! Go to Ett klick för skogen and click on the bubble that says (in swedish) "Ett klick för skogen klicka GRATIS" (you know gratis = free, right? ;) ) as often as you can!

I'm so busy studying for my next exam on saturday, but I think I understand and remember most of all the stuff things are called in latin... I remember asking Angela what you call the "knuckles" in the spine, and now I have been taught that they are actually called vertebrae in latin as well... You guys have it easy!

I've actually gotten a lot of crafty stuff done this Christmas holiday, but I discovered yesterday that some of it (i.e. two small xs pictures) got packed away with the rest of the christmas stuff...
I've worked on Barbie clothes as well - H NEEDS a winter coat/bathrobe for her Barbie, she doesn't know how to LIVE without it ;) But the snap on button didn't cooperate, so I ended up with a huge hole in one of the pieces - nothing to do but rip that piece out, trace a new one and hope for a better reinforcement when it's time to punch in the button again... (The "male" part of the button sits perfectly on the other side, and I ain't doing all of it all over!) Handstitching is actually faster and better, I think, when making teeny weeny Barbie tops and knickers... "-Can't have them running around in dresses without knickers, mommy! Their teensy bits get cold!"

Oh and btw I thought I might explain my goal #9 with the snuggling: Usually in the evenings, when Hannah's gone to bed (and since sometime before christmas, she's slept in hubby's bed) I'm stuck in the study with my books and hubby's in the living room with the tv and laptop, so we don't see eachother much, let alone snuggle. But yesterday H actually went to her OWN bed, so we got to kiss eachother goodnight IN BED NEXT TO EACHOTHER!!! I'm totally amazed... And we actually got to sleep next to each other all night as well, I was half expecting H to come into bed with us sometime during the night, but nope! This year's goals are off to a flying start :D

Lots of love, this snowy windy day

New year, new goals

I had to think long and hard to remember my stitching goals for 2008 - one of them being that I should finish my daughters christmas stocking, which just didn't happen. I hate the darn thing, the floss is horrible and thin, but I have stitched more than half of it, so if I just keep at it an hour a month (or so) I should be done before she moves out, right? It could be for the grandkids if nothing else...

New goals for 2009, then:
1. Do NOT buy more stash (other than what is necessary to finish projects)
2. Start one L&L santa
3. TRY to get on with stitching sis' christmas table cloth
4. Only do projects that make me happy, no matter what anyone else (hubby) says
5. Try at least one new finishing method

6. Do better at the housekeeping thing
7. Always read my school stuff BEFORE going to lectures - it really helps with the understanding!
8. Remember to take out the garbage and water the plants (or else the plants end up as garbage that has to be taken out...)
9. Snuggle more (also depends on hubby, of course)
10. Use my sewing machine more and post pics on the blog!

11. Keep up my healthy eating habits, so I continue to lose weight: only 5 more kilos to go! (Yay me!)


Don't hold me to any of it, I did call it GOALS didn't I?
