My newest project, inspired by the new Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton, it also happens to be one of my favourite books =)
I’m in a very 50’s mood at the moment & thought it would be fun to make Alice inspired costumes with a 50’s look to them. I’ve talked two friends into playing with me & we will hopefully do a photoshoot with the costumes when they are done =D.

More music, this is another one of my favourite songs at the moment, I usually sing along to it, very badly =D
I started a new job last week, so again I’m adjusting to a change, but hopefully next week everything will be good again & I will have some new projects to show =)
This is a custom dress I’m going to be making for my brother’s girlfriend, it’s her birthday present from us =)
It will be in a lovely dark blue, a satin wrap skirt & draped chiffon corset, I can’t wait to get started on it =D
Soon I will have some updates with what I’m working on at the moment, in the meantime some music. I’m the kind of person that must have music playing all the time, I don’t like silence.

Thinking back on 2009, it didn’t turn out quite the way I hoped. I was hoping to do more with my business, but somehow I never really got the energy or inspiration. Not to say it was a bad year, there were lots of good things that happened.
We’ve moved back to the south of Sweden, which I’ve been wanting to do for many years.
We bought our house & I do love it, we still have a few things to finish on it.
We are closer to family & old friends & some of the new friends moved down here too =)
Other good things that happened – with my new job I found some great new friends, Hi Erica *waves*.
I do miss my old friends too & wish she would move down here too, so we can be silly together again, Hi Clara *waves*, other friends have moved up north, Hi T, L, W & V *Multiple waves*.
I have some things planned for this year, but I might need some help. If it’s really quiet here for too long, please tell me, give me a nudge or a good kick in the a*** =D
Things have been crazy lately, lots to do at work, it’s christmas time, I’ve been sick & last week it snowed & snowed & snowed.
The house was snowed in yesterday, fun!!!!!
Finishing my projects hasn’t been high on my list of things to do, I have a few days off before new years so I’m going to try my hardest to get some things finished then.
Thank you for the comments on my jewellery, your comments always brighten my day =)
Some photos of jewellery I made sometime last year, don’t think I’ve posted them before. Still working on finishing my projects, I’m going to try to have them done before Xmas.
Grey wool & patterned stretch lining. What do you think it is that I’m making?, all I can say is it would have been useful to have it finished now =)
