Happy Valentine's Day

I wish you all a day filled with love.
Remember that you are the number 1 love of your life!

I send you a warm and a cosy hug. Lots of love to beautiful you <3

Wednesday look: Heart week

At school we had a black theme today, man, that was difficult!
I'm Goth...

But I think I scored big when I found my homemade top with the black girl print :) it is just so f*cking awesome (how I admire myself sometimes).

Tomorrow (well, now..) is Valentine's Day so can you please, on my order, admire and love yourself the most? You are the best you you can be <3 You love you and I love me.
Superbig huggies and sweet words from me to gorgeous you.

Tuesday look: Heart week

I went all in with the hearts - hoodie,  skirt and stockings.
Haha, I felt a bit strange wearing my hoodie to school, to me that felt bit like dressing down. It's cute, but not so UCG ;)

Continued on our "Project Runway" task at school. It's getting there....

Monday goth look at school

Monday -Schmonday ...
Here is how I dressed today; practical since I've been trying out my new design at school.
And since it's Valentine's on Thursday I'm aiming for hearts the entire  week.

Crafting: fake metal labels

In our bedroom we have bought several benches and put on top of eachother (Savannah from JYSK store).
I like the fact it looks a bit like an old pharmacy or buyers bench (?)/"köpmanna bänk".

I've had yellow post-it labels on it to know what's in the drawers.
Now I got fed up with those notes constantly falling off as being ugly,and as I don't wanna spend a fortune or lots of work hammering and stuff so I just googled metal labels and printed on a photo paper and then used some rub-on letters to label the drawers.

Although it's not as cool as real metal label holders it still beats the hell out of yellow post-it notes...

Easy, cheap and fast!

OFFER: BatBrat official webshop - Adorable Heart blouse

I'm having a Valentines Day offer on the Adorable Heart blouse at BatBrat.com.
...and now I must go to bed.

 

BatBrat official webshop - Adorable Heart blouse: Designed by Adora BatBrat

Adora loves TeeBee

Our darling son came to me and said "-Mum, take a picture of us when I'm kissing you."
So naturally I did....many, many times, claiming it was out of focus, blurry or wrong in any other way just to get a few more kisses <3

Another test

Works?  ;(

Adora BatBrat on the radio

I did a radio interview that was aired last week.

Me in the studio before recording.

Maily he wanted to ask me about the fact I might look a "bit" un-normal but on the inside I'm such an ordinary person and mum. Apparently other people finds that fascinating!

The whole thing is in Swedish *sorry* but perhaps it's fun to hear me speak my native language :)
Like the Swedish chef from the Muppet Show:


I think it's swell us goths have learned to fabricate this "official" version of us making everyone think we are just like anybody else instead of these cold hearted and chronical evil people who loves the sight of blood and only laughs when other people gets hurt ;)

My phone hates my blog

It's been quite silent here for some time now...
I wish it was because I'm busy hiding the bodies from my Christmas feast, but it's only because my phone hates me!

I have made several attempts to make posts and pictures for the blog (mostly in bed, tired as hell) and four days later I realise the things never gets posted at all. It's just - lost....

I've started school and I take every chance to stay late working so I have hardly had any time at the computer and relied on my phone to do as I told.
Now you know!

Until the problem is fixed I must drag my lazy, but cute, ass to the computer as it never fails.

I'm starting school today

Back to school!

I'm very excited!
I'll be study pattern making in the Textile class. The class started summer 2012, but they were kind enough to let me join in on their second semester on a "special deal" (perhaps I used my vampire skills and hypnotized the headmaster?).

And I'm very sorry about not posting for long...but I did, but the stupid phone didn't publish, so 20 or so inlays just magically disappeared *angry*

Happy New Year to all the pretty Goths!

I made a nice entry for the year 2013 with some fire crackers!

2013 - this must be a year of bad luck...or as a goth person would say; bad luck for you - normals. Best luck for goths.

2013 is the Goth Year! 
Let's all make everyone know it!

I'll drop some of my favorite pictures of me :)
And some wishes I have for 2013.

This I love, because this is how I see myself most of the time - totally happy.

I've decided I'm gonna have loads of moments like this 2013.

Kissing! 

I wanna kiss more! I like it!

Be a better sister to my sister.
To call and hang out with her more. When we finally have time to hook up we always end up
with crazy ideas of world domination, UCG jokes and just being pretty together. It's a hoot ;)

After our photo shoot for the catalogue of goth fashion store X-tra-x.

I'm gonna be more exclusive and put some effort to my pretty being.
Hell, I'm worth it! I'll make my 40'th year the best make up year ever!
(I'm skeptical, but I will challenge myself)

As all parents I will aim to be an even better mom this year. I think I did good

2012, but one can always improve! I'll paint more with Fairlight, play more 

board games with Synthia and build more Star Wars Lego with TeeBee.
Of course I'll still be baking and crafting with them.
And I can't say I'd cuddle them more, because we already cuddle so much!

To celebrate my wonderful grandpa Harry on yet another birthday is

something I hope for. He is getting old, and it scares me... He is 90 now 

and will turn 91 on Fairlight's birthday the 11th of April. He's been a BIG 

influence of my life. I got my second name "Harriet" to honour him.

Naturally I will be as disturbed as usually, but hopefully less unconcentrated.

But to be as wierd and have as fun as usual must be prio one!
I like the wacko me, most of all since I never know what I'm gonna do next.
I live in a constant surprise of my own life! Hahaha

...and to hang out more with friends, perhaps go clubbing sometime, and okay, okay - make a video every once in a while...

To all pretty Goths and pretty alternatives

(outside or inside) I wish you an AWESOME

 2013 - The year of the Goth!!!

Today's Goth make up

Was in my old hometown Kalmar and did some shopping today.

My dad, my extra mum and my cute sister and my whole family went for an afternoon break.
Me and my husband always buys different desserts, then we split them between us so we get 2 each.

After we made town, I did some serious shopping at IKEA (not that bad...)

Close up made late at night, before removal, so it's not that perfect..

A Goths mom's baby bats

The kids are all right!
(not to be yelled at: they have just gotten out of the car and is on their way inside -therefore the not so warm outfits. Okay?)

They are so stylish - and I can't take credit since they pick their own outfits.

Today's Goth make up

Since I have a special kind of life, I also celebrate Christmas in a special kind of way; 3 times.

Today it was time for Christmas at my dad and extra mom's house.
Me and my baby BatBrat's shares a cheers with you :)

I got a nice pile of gifts. Wihoo, I'd been nice this year too!

I was eager to rip them up just like I would a fresh torso.

Ahh, how I love those fangs of mine!
Yes, total randomness, but I just do!

As you can see I was very pleased with my gifts.
I got some super products for my hair, stockings with crosses, M.A.C. primer amongst others from my pretty sister (who refused to be seen on a picture together with me even though she looked so perfect it almost hurted my eyes), and a big chunk of money *;)* from my dad and extra mom (straight to the tattoo piggy bank) and lots of other great things. Thank you!!

Me and the kids

Saying cheerio mates!

I have Christmas once again!

At my dad's house celebrating Christmas once again.
Got some lovely gifts from the parents and my pretty sister (who didn't want to be on the picture even though she is so pretty you almost wanna poke your eyes out).

Merry Christmas!

Me and Christmas gifts

I went seriously casual today.
Mainly because of lack of time. But still - I managed to get some make up on after all...

Made some pickled herring with sherry and tomato to bring to the Christmas lunch (Swedes celebrate Christmas the 24th of December, and usually eating all the Christmas food about lunch).

Then I went out for some more shopping and the rest of the evening was filled with me, a huge stack of gifts, wrapping paper, ribbons and labels and Scotch tape.
It was fun!


Tomorrow: making the kids clean and proper for Xmas, some more shopping, bit wrapping, hopefully baking and then playing board games with the kids as I relax.
I'll start by sleeping. It's almost 03:00 here now so it is about time...but I had so much fun....!
