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.

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...

There must be chaos before order

...and this is halfway through the tiding up...
But I did make a necklace!

Adora BatBrat: The hoarder

First thought: gotta have!
Second though: my husband is gonna hate me.
Third thought: gotta have!

Up on my throne I can see almost everything. Just now I saw workers throwing things from a shop that's redecorating.
I saw something that "might come in handy" and quickly told Fairlight to put on her shoes and run down with me.
I kindly asked the men if I could grab a few things and they totally said okay! (Always ask for permission if it's a rented container!)

As soon as I saw this I just knew it would make a fabulous scene in the kids room, and where I could sneak in and act a total Goth rock star singing electro Goth when the little ones gone to the dreamland at night. Whohoo!

My husband can't say shit about it because he is on a business trip and won't be back until tomorrow and that makes me the only ruler of the flat!
And by then the kids will just LOVE the scene their cool Goth mum gave them. Mohahahaaaa!
Score: 1p to the evil hoarding team!

Crafting: TeeBee's new chair

I have Fairlight home sick so I can only do things that doesn't need my brain to be connected.
Painting is perfect for that.

I love, love, love the color I choose for TeeBee 's chair!
I have found a fabric in the same color so the chair will be all in the same color.
It was a bitch finding a fabric in the right color so eventually I had to go for a pillow case. Brought it with me and my "paint and wallpaper guy" mixed me the right color.

Now I'm on to paint some final white coat on a few charity shop findings.

What a nice day - cuddling Fairlight and paint!

Killing easter

I started to remove the Easter stuff today since Easter is dead already.
Feathers, eggs, chickens, hares and crazy colors all over the place (well, this was the "grownup" tree) is now safe behind a led door so it can't hurt me the same way kryptonite hurts Superman.

I went up early and made vanilla, raspberry, lemon and cinnamon cupcakes (4 batches) for Synthia for the school picnic she had today.
Poor Fairlight caught a fever and TeeBee had his day home today, so I had 2 pretty kids to hug all day long!

Us 3 made a picnic by ourselves at home - on the living room floor. The cupcakes tasted delicious while sitting on the blanket.

The make up I had on yesterday for Fairlight's party:



I love my bats <3

TeeBee and the robot

Darling TeeBee was invited to a birthday party to a boy from daycare later today. We made the gift look like a robot. So sweet!

What was in it?

The same skull tee-shirt TeeBee is wearing :)

Now they can be shirt-twins...

Fairlight's 7'th birthday party number 3

Dollhouse kitchen

Semlor: mini!

Fairlight's 3:d 7 year birthday party today.
My dad and my bonus mum came for a coffee <3

I made miniature "semlor "(and more).
They are just too cute to look at!

I made them out of cupcake dough, recipe can be found somewhere in my blog (although they should be made out of wheat dough), and added the cardamom to copy the taste of the wheat bun.

Then I cut off the lid, spread "mandelmassa"/almond paste (?) on the bottom, added whipped cream, put on the lid and topped it off with a dash of granulated sugar on top.
Ta-daa!

Todays (panic) make up

You know these days when your husband fails to press the snooze button and shut the alarm off instead...?

These days happened to be THIS day.

2 minutes daycream and foundation.  3 minutes make up. 2 minutes hair, and out the door.

I have done better(and Goth make up in less time), but this is okay.

But there is one reason I don't really mind going out like this; with almost no make up on:

My husband says I look like Kate Blanchett (not sure about the name, but she played Queen Elizabeth)  when I'm without make up - and that makes me so proud! She looks so cool and strong!

I don't look like her according to me, but I welcome the compliment.

Ups, missed the pic!

Youth treatment

[image_0]

I'm off to my yearly facial.

Backside: make up will be ruined so I have it to a minimum. Gotta go for the big shades today.

And also I'm forbidden to wear make up for several hours!

And we are going to the water park later - oh, noooo! crap!
