I'm still alive!

So sorry, but I have been lost in the world if baking all week.

Apparently I'm celebrating my 40'th birthday on Saturday (well, the one for my friends) .
No need to panic - I'm not 40 until the 5'th of December at 08:26 in the morning. Still part if the 30 age...
But since Christmas soon is upon us I decided in having the party now, and one in January for all the relatives. I will probably celebrate on the actual day as well!

At a weak moment I decided on having a French theme party. What the hell I was thinking about I don't know, but I have been making Petit Fours all week long.
At the picture I'm showing a few of the cake toppers I just made.

Yesterday's look

Synthia took this gorgeous picture of me yesterday at my husband's parents house celebrating Fathers Day.

Celebrating Fathers day

I'm at my husband's mum and dad to celebrate Father's Day.
I'm looking forward to the dinner - it's Swedish "kroppkakor"! WIHIIIOOO!

Crafting - Necklaces

Yesterday I made myself 3 new necklaces!
I looooove them.
Favourite is of course the Adora choker.

Friday goth look

I had such a headache all day and felt crap. Yes, indeed - crap!
My mind probably do not function like others because instead of trying to hide and melt in some ugly ass clothes and no make up I try the opposite - dressing up and try to look fabulous.

See - looking good makes feeling good. It works!
Or I'm just so stupid I believe anything I tell myself :)

Gingerbread witch

I promised the baby-BatBrats we'd make gingerbread dough and drink "glögg"/mulled wine (non alcoholic) today.
The recipe are supposed to rest for at least a week in the refrigerator to set the flavors so it's about time!
I use the recipe from Johan Sörberg "Riddarbageriets söta".

Perhaps there will be nothing left to make cookies from since we'll eat lots during.
Warning: if you are going to eat LOTS of dough take off a piece before you add the bicarbonate.
Tummy pain!

Today's look

Basic Goth wear by Adora BatBrat by adorabatbrat featuring sequin pants

This is what I consider "basic" goth wear. Nothing special, but still okay.

I had 2 meetings at school yesterday with Fairlight's and TeeBee's teachers wearing this.

(Can someone please help me here - is that correct, or should it be TeeBees' instead of TeeBee's or just plain TeeBees?).

I did feel a bit dressed down from the usual me though.

NO, NO, nothing like that! 

They didn't bite their little friends or anything, it was just the ordinary development chat with the teachers. Fairlight improved (she didn't talk as much and actually raised her hand before talking ;) ). The other things she had under control. Made mum proudest - she is so positive, her teacher said :)

TeeBee...well, what can we say about him...

Also very positive, his teacher said, but ants in the pants, talks as much as I do and just wanna have fun all the time.

Makes his homework witout any effort and scored the highest of all kids in the class (waaaay higher) with 61 points out of 62! A brainiac! Just like me ;)

Halloween 2012 - Part II

Saturday I was shipped away to an area far out in the spinach.
I was told to wear a Halloween outfit.

You might think a cool goth girl like me should stay cool about it, but I HATE being scared!!!
As we drove up to the house I saw a big witch mixing something deadly in her black kettle, a gigant black spider (1½ meters across) hanging from a big web, Death standing on the porch with red eyes staring at me, scary pumpkins everywhere and a thick fog covering the stairs up to the house..

I did as any girl in a horror movie would do put in a similar scene - I went out of the car and walked towards the house of course.

Ahhhgh, scared!!!

But unlike those stupid bimbos, who obviously is not as clever as us goth girls, I said out loud: "-This is so spooky, please don't scare me!"
If this indeed was a movie, would that have helped?
Of course not!
And it didn't in real life either.

Door opened. Hello and welcome, hugs and lots of people in crazy outfits. Husband went in, I came in after.
-BOOOOOOO!
followed by my -AAAAAIHHHH!!!

They got me.

 

Adora BatBrat video - Wednesday 1

Every other Wednesday I go for a tea date with this pretty girl called Cajsa von Dellqvist.

Halloween 2012, part II

Halloween party with friends tonight.
They had everything so cool done at home as the yard. I was so impressed by their decorations and the time spent to make everything so perfect. Thanks M & L for a scary and lovely evening.

Wound made the evening before: nylon stocking, school glue, tissue paper, make up, acrylic paint and stitches.


Doctor and nurse will help you........DIE!

Crafting - Halloween wounds

Skin colored tights, school glue, tissue paper, rouge and acrylic paint made this sassy wound.
Sewing a few stitches made it even better.
I will make it perfect as I get dressed for the Halloween party tomorrow.

This is fun!

Adora in family photo

My dad and my extra mum came and celebrated TeeBee today since they can't join us on Saturday.
We had a lovely dinner and dessert.

TeeBee got a big Ninjago, Transformers and Star Wars Lego.
All things that makes a 6 year old boy super happy!

Crafting - lace shirt with petrol fur for kids

From the lovely pile of fabric I bought I made a shirt yesterday, just in case any of the kids wanted to wear it at last night Halloween disco for kids.

Fairlight went bananas as she saw it and put it on at once!
She's got it on for school today as well!
Mummy feel so proud she actually liked it :)
It was such fun making it.
Best Goth mummy award getting closer...

Crafting: sewing shirt for the girls

I bought these fabrics thinking it would make a cool shirt for Synthia and Fairlight.
Took me 2 hours but now it's done! Hope they like it!

Crafting: skeleton print on pants

My prince TeeBee is turning 6 on Saturday so I'm making him a pair if cool pants.

What kind of parent let's her kid wear white to school is the obvious question(?), and yes, it gets SO dirty but for the first half of the day it looks fab.
I want fab kids!
My kids rule school because they are cool!
I'm totally aiming for the best parent award this year too ;)

Shopping: fabric

When I was in Stockholm some week ago I bought some new fabrics.
Although I'm a dedicated black Goth I have an embarrassing flair for soft colors. Let's see what I'll make of it.

Halloween make up and Adora pregnant pictures

2006 we were invited to a small Halloween cake party.
Since I have always painted something on my belly a couple of days before I think it's time for delivery this came in handy.
The BIG belly made a perfect pumpkin :)

Little prince TeeBee inside was born 3'd of November 2006, 2 days after the picture was made.
I had gained 22 kilos on this picture!! Whoa! Some scary Halloween!

It's not easy painting on your belly without a mirror and the belly so huge you can't see beneath the "waist".
This is what I painted on my belly before Synthia was born:

Princess Synthia inside, 2 days before delivery as well. I only gaind 13 kilos since she came 2 months too early weighing only 1,8 kilos. She was born with a catastrophic caesarean section 2 days after this picture was made, on the 9'th of August 2003.

And before Fairlight:

Princess no 2; Fairlight got a pink kitten. She was born 7 days after the picture was made. The 11'th of April 2005. I gained 20 kilos with her.

It's truely a wonder I got back to my skinny self watching these pictures - but I did!

And you know I did it using the Montignac Method only (and after the breast feeding was done with).

Halloween crafting - Bloody Nightgown

Since I'm goth I wear stuff like this whenever, but this technique can of course also be used for Halloween stuff. You know, the day when everyone want's to be goth ;)

WARM BODIES Zombie Tutorial

This guy is totally hot as a zombie! He might even get the honour of escorting me home some cold night. Although I do prefer vampires...
