I have a new hair color!

Here you see it!

Well, I've had it since Thursday really...(that's why that picture was in black and white).

I changed it back to the pink!


I figured it would give me some luck now when I'm starting my own business and all...and also the kids had a saying in the matter as well. Pink won over yellow and blue when they voted. And I gotta please my family :)

Personally I love the pink too, but I think I looked cooler, more ghostly, with the blue'ish. And the yellow was incredible cute on me. But now I have a year of pink ahead of me.

I mostly change color once a year, remember?

Tomorrow I'll think out what to make of it...I'm thinking....

Saying bye-bye

These are the last shots of me..
...wearing green hair.
This morning I changed it. I didn't have green because I thought it was cute - it was more of a "fun" statement. I've laughed every single day when The Joker/Krusty the clown smiled back at me in the mirror. But now I'm cute <3



















Now we have all overdosed this green color so we won't miss it for at least a year....

Today's look


Since it was today I signed on the dotted line I really felt the need to wear bats for luck.
The lovely bat stockings was a gift from my pretty sister. Just perfect for me!
Dress is an old H&M dress with a totally uncomfortable blouse from the same shop.

The deal is signed, sealed and delivered. Therefore a change will come..

BatBrat Limited, seconds left...


Just signed on the dotted line to pay the 50 000 SEK to pay for my "aktiebolag"/limited company.
One more turn to the lawyers and it's done!

My window view


Beauty is meant to share, so my beautiful window view will be shared!
Sweden is slowly turning into summer and the trees are getting green.

I pretend you are all here with me to share the moment. How lovely <3

Crafting: Blue chair



I just finished the stuffed seating.

Man, that's some hard work I just did! My arms are like over cooked Italian spaghetti right now after all that pulling and hammering.

IF there is a real tapestry maker out there - yes, I know I should have used more nails to make the surface smoother, but I figured I won't need this piece to last a human life length, I'm happy if it lasts 3 years.

Now I will join my family and a few other family's for some sausage grilling! My arms needs a rest anyway..

Crafting: Blue chair



Finally the work continues with TeeBee's blue chair.

I almost puked when I removed the old fabric and filling. Gahh, so much disgust.

Being a bit short on foam and ordinary filling I simply cut up a cheap bed blanket and added a shamefully cheap pillow from IKEA to make the seat a bit more cosy.

Now time for the base fabric before I add the blue one.

Back to Sunday Goth activities:
What a Goth might be up to on a Sunday?

This Sunday was a sunny, lovely day so we had lunch at the famous local ice cream place, The Glacier, (you always gets 3 big spoons of each flavor, so 3 flavors means 9 big spoons!) and each kid had 3 flavors! I had a 3 flavor as well - and added a soft ice cream on top. It was HUGE!
I had Rum raisins, Cinnamon&apple and Chocolate fudge as vanilla soft ice with sprinkles.
Mmmm...

Looking forward to see what color it is tomorrow :)

Clumsy Adora!



Me and TeeBee watched Lilo and Stitch.

It was time for our afternoon break so I jumped up from the sofa to go and prepare it.

I stumbled on my long goth legs on a wire and fell like a timber.

I scraped my ribs on the corner of our coffee table, my left arm got twisted to my back. I thought it would snap!

Luckily it didn't but my ribs are gonna look nice tomorrow I guess...

It only hurts when I laugh ;)

I'm changfung



How I just love when my phone makes up her own words!

"Changing" is the correct word.

Today I created a real business account and tomorrow I'll have an important meeting at 11:00 am to seal my destiny. If all goes well I will change.....   :)

New tattoo!

(my posts have recently been disappearing, so this is from the 30th of March)

I've just done a new tattoo!
I had all the kids with me for support and they hold my hand and constantly asked me "-Mummy, does it hurt?"
They we're so sweet to me! ..or they just really wanted to make sure I was in pain...

As a reward we all went and looked at the dead easter rabbit me and TeeBee found yesterday and then they got lollypops (me as well).
Poor little rabbit... It's not just because I'm goth I like to show my kids stuff like this -  it's also a unique way to see how nature cleans up dead animals.
The sweetest thing is we all got our lollipops for free today!

We "bought" them at the gift/home decor shop "Enkla" in Karlskrona. And the manager gave us the lollipops for free since he thought the girls looked so cute in their easter outfits they had on today.

What a lovely thing to do! We all got super happy - and the lollipop even tasted better than usual :)

I hope someone makes your Friday extra special as well!

Buns, buns and buns



Ahh, the smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns fills my flat.

Most of them ended up in the freezer since it's for Fairlight's (final) birthday party on Saturday. A few ended up in my kids stomach :)

Doh!


I had my dough on yeast for too long...
Nice, my bed is covered in it...

Wihooo!  It's Friday!

Sweden sucks a bit right now - it rains, rains and rains....

If someone in Spain, Italy or elsewhere where it's hot happens to own a private jet and wanna save me from drowning I would really appreciate it *I'll make you cupcakes*

I so hate when it rains because it smells like worms and snails outside and that almost makes me puke.

And I'm cold and it looks boring.

I am not one of those Goths who enjoy this gloomy weather.

I'll run down and check out a 50% sale on shabby chic furniture right now. Let's see if I'll bring something back... perhaps that will cheer my moody, moping, sour, bit angry mood up.

Don't know why I'm complaining really - I have a lovely Goth thing going on right now. I should be proud of myself not being so cheery and stupidly happy.

You know the feeling when you just love your face - I had that today!I felt so Adora BatBrat <3
I'm quite happy about how I turned out today <3
The cute girls at daycare said I had my prettiest moment ever today. I even heard the word "princess".
They were most intrigued by my one green eye. How is that possible?! they said.

My own kids are never impressed.. -Mhm, so you have your lens on today *gasp*. What's for dinner?
Kind off like that.

*Love the earings, neck corset and Bat brooch? Neck corset: $25.00. Check PinkAbsinthe out! 
*Love the Bat necklace? £8.00. Check SyntheticDoll out!

Using alcoholics to teach the kids math


I like to imply math for the kids using our environment.
Yesterday we went by the place where our local drunks hangs out.

I asked: How many alcoholics are on every bench?
They answered unanimously: 1 on the first bench, then 3 on the next one, and one on the last.
Good, I said (since I've heard you should always give credits to kids).

How many alcoholics are there in total, and on how many benches?
- 5 alcoholics on 3 benches, they said.
Mummy Adora BatBrat could not be prouder of her little geniuses.

You should totally try this at home! I just couldn't stop laughing when I told my loved husband.
He thought it was cruel. Obviously he's got no sense of humor!

Crafting: sugar art


I used a chocolate mold for doing this sugar swan this Easter.
It turned out beautiful!
But old habits dies slow and I happened to break the neck while I tried to bite it....it was such a long and inviting neck!
Had to "glue" it back (with sugar icing).

I think I will let the kids feast on it on Fairlight's birthday party for her classmates next week.
Their parents will be SO thankful for that kind gesture.
Shit, I still got that evil streak in me! Thank Goth for that!
I was a bit worried I've become nice.

Now I will paint the final coat on TeeBee's chair so I can put on the fabric until my darlings birthday (my pretty husband turnes 23 - or was it 43(?) the 21'st) on Saturday so the place doesn't look like a complete mess with half-done projects in every corner...like it most often does..
That will probably be on top of his wishlist when it comes to me...
