Crafting in the house

At Christmas every year I force my kids to do some crafts. The thing with making crafts with kids is you want them to make things you actually want to show. I think I did good this year. They made some fantastic things, and I love having them shown in our home.

Here's their wonderful angel candle holders

• Buy cheap candle holders at IKEA
• Paint them with glue
• Put on a sweet angel bookmark
• Quickly roll it in sugar (here you can blow-dry to faster get to the next step)
• Paint the upper edge with glue and dip it in silver/gold glitter
• Put in a tea light and light it - enjoy <3

I also had them make some cute mittens to hang in the tree.

• Cut a nicely patterned felt into two mittens
• Sew them together with easy stitches
• Glue on a crochet lace
• Thread a red ribbon through it and tie
• Hang it in you tree/nose/whatever

I think they are just supercute <3 My kids got lots of compliments from the proud mum. Aww, they did good. Now they are craft-free until Valentine's Day ;)

Blog at place 29 of 5161

Yesterday I added my blog to something called Bloggar/Topplista (=Blog Toplist, Sweden). And amongst 5161 blogs I entered immediately at place 29. Wow! That was unexpected...but cool :)
Wohoo, for goths!

New Year's Eve 1999-2000

I just stumbled across some pictures from New Year's Eve 1999-2000. It was a BIG party with all my husbands relatives, (we were about 50-70 ppl) we celebrated at a wardroom on a military island that we had all to ourselves. We had to go there by boat. It was very special. I made me and my husband matching 18'th century'ish dresses :)

Oh, wow! On the pictures you can see my best feature. It might seem a bit odd, but my best feature (according to me) is my forehead. I just love the way my forehead is curved.

I love having my bangs, but it disturbs me that it hides my best feature....

Now when I say it out loud it sounds ridiculous! *hahaha, I'm such a geek*

Eating Bambi's mum's heart

It was me who shot Bambi's mum! Here I am at the Christmas dinner eating a deer's heart - for real! I've never tried it before, but I liked the feeling of eating it... (it was interesting and icky at the same time)

I wrote "God Jul" on my nails, that's swedish for Merry Christmas :)

I think Santa will give me one package less because I lied to A. Shit! I really needed that space diaper!

I have beautiful hair!

I just bleached and re-colored my hair :)

I'm going to change my haircolor before the summer, but for me and my sisters German "tour" I will keep it light purple and silver a while longer.

Tonight I've been invited to a restaurant by my husbands boss to have Christmas dinner with all his co-workers. It will be fun! But I'm mostly looking foward to the food :)
I will leave my Montignac method at home tonight, that's for sure!

I haven't finished my make up yet (as you might see although I'm hiding my face). Not quite sure how to do it tonight.. I usually like to look a bit more Christmassy when I go to theese events - but I also like to wear my tiaras and lots of bling...and I wonder if I should look more goth, or be "nice" and wear a bit less make up. I have to think it over...

How to make Christmas a bit more goth

See those wonderful gingerbread-skelletons I found on the web!

I'm more of a traditionalist myself, but these will now be part of my tradition :) TeeBee will LOVE to eat skelletons. A fantastic idea indeed!

Interviewed in Mookychick by Sky Gazzard

Here's an interview I did for Mookychick. I pasted it, or you can just read it here to also see the pictures.
Interview by Sky Gazzard

Adora Bat Brat is a synthare (swedish electrogoth) princess. This clever goth queen is famous for her YouTube make-up tutorials, DIY gothic fashion and SO much more. We caught her between baking for a virtual chat.

Adora Bat Brat is a synthare (swedish electrogoth) princess. Famous for her make-up tutorials on youtube showcasing her unique look with over 4 million total hits. Model, make-up artist and mother this enterprising goth is branching out into designing her own clothes and singing in an electro band.

How did you get into modelling?
At the age of 20 I studied art and was a croquis (nude) model for other artists on weekend-classes. About a year later I met a reputable fashion/commercial photographer, Paul Quant, who liked my looks and we collaborated (still do) on many occasions for published as well as exhibition pictures. He recommended me to other photographers as well. This was in the beginning of the 90's so there were no digital cameras and we worked in a very different way than you do nowadays. He taught me everything that a model needs to think about.

Who are your style inspirations?
I was a teenager in the 80's, so my biggest inspirations were Boy George, Cindy Lauper and the girls of The Anadin Brothers. Everything in the 80's was fantastic in my town. The local punk girls all looked like a mix between Nina Hagen and Morticia Addams, but with extreme make-up skills, things I copied when I was 12 - and still do! I'm also an extreme fan of old movies in the glam era with Marilyn Monroe and Shelley Winters. Marlene Dietrich was the reason I removed my eyebrows in 1992.
I have no "new" style inspirations, I tend to look backwards in style. I'm a member of an 18'th century society so that era is a also a huge inspiraton.

With a blog and fan page as well as your website and other profiles, what makes you want to share so much of your life on the internet?
Haha, I think the world has not caught up with us swedes when it comes to that!
You might say I started the Adora Bat Brat - goth and Facebook on demand. I got so many questions on youtube and myspace that I couldn't cope with answering them all and I didn't want to disappoint anyone. The easiest way was to create a forum (website) where people could find information about me themselves, and a blog for those who wanted to know more about my persona. My two Facebooks (one personal, one fan page) and the blog is where I can interact with people and I read everything I get even if I could never answer everything, since I get well over a 100 personal mails every day (not counting comments). The main reason I want to share must be that it's a fantastic way to get in contact with so many interesting people. And I don't share that much... I'm too wierd to put everything in my blog! People would surely call the men with the white coats then...

What is it like having so many fans?
The best way to describe it is like "being wrapped in a pink, fluffy, warm blanket", or the goth way to say it: "being wrapped into a black gigantic bat's wings". I don't think about it that much, but I aim to make people feel more positive about themselves. I'd love it if all people can feel as good as I do on the inside. Spread the love xxx

What are your views on feminism? Would you consider yourself a feminist?
That is always a difficult question. Feminism means so many things for different people, but surely we should all be equal when it comes to salary, politics and social rights. It doesn't matter sex, looks or other. I think goths are more discriminated then women in general anyway, so I might just be a gothist. I don't have to call myself a feminist to think equal rights should be observed.

Do you feel judged as a mother for the way you look?
I actually feel a bit less judged by others since I had the kids. Before "normal" people had trouble figuring me out, but by having children they could relate to me on another level - as a mother. I get stopped often by women in the age 40-90 who tell me that when they were younger they were original like me, and that they love my looks. Very sweet. The word on the town is that I have Karlskrona's most beautiful children - people tell me that all the time. Being judged that way is just nice.

Is there a difference between the Swedish and UK alternative scene?
By the little I've seen I'd have to say yes. Sweden is a small country, and the alternative scene even smaller.. The things that strike me most is that we have very different styles in electro music (that is my music of choice), we seem to put more effort to our make up and hair (and by this I do not mean myself, I always have boring hair) and people seem more open and happy in general.
Or it can be I've just been to the wrong clubs in London, or that the people are a bit too shy. Swedes are chatterboxes and we love when people come over for a conversation.

Do you think you would be as popular without your sunny character?
Aww, so sweet of you! You really think I'm sunny?! Now I'll be happy all week!
Well, no, I don't think so. Every morning I wake up happy and apparently it shines through. I'd like everyone to feel as happy as I do.

What are the plans for the band? Is it a serious project or just for fun?
Asperger Synthdrome is very much a serious fun project :) We have been offered a studio for free to record our songs and we have people wanting to produce our first video. The plan is to get all of that started in January. Unfortunately my beautiful sister is as busy as I am, but we'll make this work. One record company already made an offer after seeing our live-video on youtube, but we want to be a bit more ready. The dream would be to play at the M'era Luna festival in Germany of course.

You make and customise most of your clothes and accessories. Are you anti-consumerist or just trying to keep your look unique?
I've been making and customising clothes since my grandmother put a needle in my hand *haha, that sounded funny*. I've always known I was different, and for different girls there were no different clothes when I grew up, so I had to do the best I could. I think it's a nice hobby. I love to work with my hands, that's when my brain makes somersaults.

You model, design clothing and sing... Any more plans for world domination?
Strangely I have to say yes. I've been working on writing two books for many years. One children's book and one book about the scary me. I'm looking forward to doing the illustrations for the kids' book. It's a very sad story. When I tell people the plot they always tear up. It's a dream having it published.

Are there any words of wisdom you'd like to pass on to people reading this?
Oh wow... there are so many things. For me it's always been to choose the happy side of the matter, to love yourself the most and be your own best friend. Don't do to yourself what you wouldn't do to your best friend. Always assume everyone you meet has a story sadder than yours, that will make you sympathetic, and try to meet anger with a smile. Don't lower yourself to their level.

Where can we buy your stuff?
Apparently designing clothes takes a long time. Just yesterday I got the pre-designs sent to me on the Victorian Collar as well as The Adorable Heart blouse. The Collar looked fantastic, but the blouse was a disaster! I have to try to make the pattern myself this time, since the patternmaker didn't quite understand how I wanted it to look. A real setback since we are planning to have them up for sales by Valentines Day on Batbrat.com. (we were about to get started in September 2010, so it's a "bit" delayed).

Is there anything I should have asked but haven't?
There is still lots left of me to know ;) Perhaps 'How do I stay so thin?' The answer: I eat according to the Montignac method where I can eat lots without gaining weight. It's mostly fat and fibres. I had to change my diet because of gastric catarrh. I write a bit about it in my blog.
But I think that's it! Lots of love xxx

Keep up with Adora on the Adora BaBrat Blog and check out the Adora BatBrat website (with links to her facebook and youtube channel). Oh,yes - do!

Recepie to the BEST saffron buns

I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Sweden at the 13'th of December when we celebrate Lucia it's a must to eat Lussekatter/saffron buns. "Mine" usually makes big ohh's and ahhh's. But all I do really is to follow the recipe of Johan Sörberg at the famous Riddarbageriet. The recipe is to be found in his sold out book "Riddarbageriets söta". I'm gonna share it with all of you that doesn't own this book.

This picture was taken after I got photographed as a Lucia
for the frontpage on our morningpaper -96 or something.
One of the few moments when I played normal for a day.

These takes forever to bake - but the taste is so worth it!

I use the gram measurements - you better too, or I come back and haunt you with a stick!

Saffron buns from Riddarbageriets söta by Johan Sörberg

(a bit corrected by me)

700 g wheat flour (12 dl)

300 g milk (3 dl)

196 g caster sugar (2,5 dl)

150 g real butter

50 g yeast

1 egg

14 g salt (2 teaspoons)

0,5 g saffron

1 lump of sugar

raisins

Melt butter in a bowl and add the milk. Make lukewarm (37 degrees C). Add the yeast and stir until it's melted.

Use a pounder to grind the saffron together with the lump of sugar. This will bring out the flavour even more. Pour into the bowl and stir. Now add ALL of the other ingredients. Put on medium speed in the dough mixer for 10 minutes (or use the electric handmixer with dough hooks).

Put a towel over it and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cut the dough into bits of 60 grams (about 24 pieces). Make to a bun by folding  the corners to the middle, put that side down (called runddriv in swedish). When you have done the last one it's time to roll the first one to a 10 centimeters roll and put under plastic one by one - do not use flour. When the last one is put under the plastic you can start to roll Lussekatter/Saffron buns from the first one. Roll them to about 30 centimeters, and make them squiggly like a Lussekatt should be. Put in a raisin at each end.

Let yeast until double the size. It takes at least 90 minutes. You can't go by time here, only by size.

Bake off in 230 degrees Celsius for about 3-5 minutes. They should look like this:

According to this recipe you don't  brush them with egg until after they have been baked.
* 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of cold water and ½ a teaspoon of salt is the blend you brush them with.
Let cool on a grid under a towel, then pack them in plastic bags. The ones you won't eat for 24 hours you should freeze, since the saffron makes the buns dry eventually.

I always recommend to pre-heat them in the oven before eating them (frozen or not). 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes will make perfect buns to serve. I never eat any bun without doing this - but I am a professional bun eater.

Not many people have the patience to make these buns by this recipe - but IF you do, you will never use another recipe for saffron buns again. This is the one and only. Thank's Johan!

The Addams Family

The next day I was in for another rinse of my sinuses. I brought the kids with me since I thought they would get a kick out of it! I'm like all "-Check it out, now the doctor is connecting this tube to the tube sticking out of my nose. Whoa - look at all that snot that's coming out of mummys nose..." They had an exciting day.

Perhaps now I can understand why my uncle calls us the Addams Family!
"-What did you do with your family this weekend, Synthia?"
"-I watched the doctor flushing out snot from my mummys sinuses. It was rad!"

Taking the self harm to a new level

Okay cutters, I now play in a league of my own with self infliktion.
As many goths I just looooove getting dark, bitter, and then cut myself for being so boring (this is NOT true - I don't cut myself - noone should). Cutting yourself is more like a hobby instead of being crafty and do something creative with your life.
So when I felt I was close to getting a sinusitis I made damn sure so misbehave and make that a bad ass sinusitis; pain in my whole face, the teeth hurted, my temple was in cramp and the headache was nearly unbearable. Then it was time to call the doctor for some serious pain.

He sprayed my nose with something with the resemblance to solvent in taste. I started to get eructations. Then he shoved 5 cotton swabs in each nostril, 10 centimeters in (ouch!). Where's the camera when you need one?

By this time I shut my eyes. Something was put in to keep my nostrils wide open, a tube was inserted and then there was a bang. The same to the other nostril. I asked why there was bang, bang in my nose? And here's the über cool part - I got pierced inside my skull!!! Try to out-cool that! He pierced a hole to my sinus on both sides to enable a tube to get in.

He then rinsed my sinuses with 5 deciliters of water on each side. It was awful! I almost puked. I could feel the water swishing behind my eyes *help*

There came out so much mucus the doctor almost cheered with proudness! Once again - where's the camera?

Then - he torn out the left one. The right tube is still attached to my sinus skeleton for another rinse tomorrow. When the anesthesia went away the pain was horrible and I had blood running from both my nostrils. Looked very goth-cool I might add. You can still see the cut off tube in my nostril on the picture.

So, instead of making puny cuts on your forearms to make people feel sorry for you, try to pierce your sinuses instead, for some real pain! I feel so hard-core now!

Back to the doctors office...

All those pills....and nothing...

I've been eating 6 BIIIIIG pills every day since Monday to recover from pneumonia and sinusitis and yet I feel no better. I breath like an old woman (hell - I AM an old woman!) and have a running snout like an

 old geezer. Tha pain, oh, the pain!!! See, I even complain like an old person!

This "Old-ora" must go away so the bubbly and breathtaking (opposite to the now breath-less*haha*) Adora can enter again. Where's the fun, where's the joy?
Yeah - I know - in Healthy town, not in Mucus-ville ;(
13:30 I'll have another date with Doctor Bart.

Baked!

Inbetween the rest I so desperately need to get well from my pneumonia I managed to bake some saffron buns (and yes - I was very careful with the hygiene) for the Lucia parade-coffee on Friday. I'm gonna make some more tomorrow.

Before

After

And yes, I know, I AM the gothic Martha Stewart ;) Oink oink

I'm having double pneumonia!!!!

OMG!

I've been caughing my insides out for 3 weeks, and my relatives started to get worried about me.

So at my birthday bash this weekend they forced me to PROMISE to go to the doctor Monday. Okay, okay, I said.

So, Monday I had to get out in a very snowy Sweden to the exhausting walk to my doctor.

I got a doctor Bart. I just can't stop laughing at that. There are nearly no Bart's in Sweden, but now he was my doctor! The theme from Simpsons was playing in my head on the way over...

He checked me over and then I got a bloodtest. The value should be 5, and never higher then 8. I had 54. He told me I clearly had a bakterial infection and double pneumonia and sinusitis. WHAT?!

So - here I have been rumbling about in 38.9 degrees Celsius fever, feeling light-headed because I can't breath normally because my lungs stings and caughing my insides out while trying to tell myself I'm just having a cold?!

Bless my father in law for sending me to the doctors office!

I should have known something was wrong when I slept in 30 minutes extra instead of putting on my make up 2 times last week. I can't hardly admit it to myself. I don't think that's happened since I was 12. I'm so ashamed....

I'm officially 38 years!

At 08.26 this morning I turned 38! That's the same age my mum was when I met my husband (I was 16 then). And I thought she was so aged! I still feel 16 at heart :)

Yesterday I had my relatives over for cookies. I had 38.8 degrees Celsius fever and they all were worried about me getting wornout. So I had to lie and say it was no problem at all, and that I had already baked all the cookies.
But no, I made the chocolate cupcakes the evening before, and the vanilla horns, white chocolate angel kugeln, oakmeal cookies with chocolate and the pastry I did on that morning *sorry for lying*
I usually make 7 different cookies, but I just had to cut down.

And today on my real birthday I woke up with a sinusitis on my right side (oh, the pain! The teeth, the entire cheek and my temple hurts like crazy), massive headache and 38.8 degrees Celcius in fever. My relatives are certain I have pneumonia (I think not!) and is forcing me to visit a doctor tomorrow..
Not such a glamorous birthday, right...
Right now I'm wishing for: being half asleep in the couch with my kids hugging me every now and then and to eat the amazing salmon fillet and gorgonzola baked broccoli my husband will make me for dinner <3
I made some homemade vanilla sauce yesterday, so I'm guessing I'll bake an appelpie for the evening as well. Screw fever!

My couch view right now

This is the view from my sofa right now. Perhaps it's difficult to see, but there's a gunpowder magazine build in granit seen in the right corner of the window. It was made 1734. And now there is snow and ice around it as supposed to a beautiful sea. I just love my window view.

Items in a Goth's wardrobe

Todays "must have's" is a bowler hat.

Charlie Chaplin and his pretty women in the movies (they had some sweet make up and hair back then) made me want one, and then of course the movie Clockwork Orange made everyone else crave for one.

I did search long and hard for one in my apple-head size. The only ones I could find was for hydrocephalus heads ;) (no offence if you have hydrocephalus).

Last summer I went to London with some pretty boy and can you believe - somewhere deep in the Stables Market in Camden Town a lady sold lots of knickknack like indian dream catchers and other very strange items. And amongst all this shit I saw a shape I longed for - the perfect bowler hat! Not that kind of crappy new made hats with doubtful quality, but a real hard one, like from the old era. It was a Holy Grail moment for me. I felt dizzy and everything else just stopped moving...

Of course she had a real overprice to it, like £35 or more. In Sweden theese hats can be found cheap, like £9 - but only in super sizes. I tried it on - and it was a perfect match, like when Darth Vader got his helmet on. I think I even started to breath like him ;)

I told her £10. She of course refused. So I said thank's and bye.

In the 2 seconds I took for me to leave her little "store" she said - "Okay, fine, you can have it for £10."

I'm guessing she had this hat since the beginning of the century and it never fitted anyones head. She must have know the chance of another apple-headed person to come her way would be another century...

But I only wear it on bad hair days. Good hair should never be hidden under a hat!

Todays sweet comment

I just found this sweet comment under one of my youtube-videos:

"It's so not fair that one person can be so pretty. Share some with everyone else ya bitch! :P"

This was just too adorable <3 Thank's

Miranda X styling

Here is the artist Miranda X that I helped with the make up and styling for her first music video this weekend. She is only 16 and already so fantastic.

Here she is when I just did her make up, and bit of the hair.

This is a picture of her from before the styling

Here in the wonderful castle, Bäckaskog castle

This is during the shot. Everything but the bra is my clothes.

Then another look

Why trains leave so early..?

I'm getting up at 03.45 tomorrow morning to get on a train at 05.38 to Kristianstad.
I will do make up/hair and wardrobe on a music video for a 16 year old girl called Miranda X.
She's got a killer voice (but they have trashed the voice on the song Hollywood with some robot stuff), and already she's got a song playing on the radio. It's not my kind of music, but at least it's more of an electronica sound.
Her "natural" voice is fantastic and I'm not a big fan of those digital/robot things they put over it. I think it reduces her. But - according to producers, this is what people want. And I don't know their type of music so they are probably right. But personally I love her natural voice much better.

I haven't been given a straight story line so it's a bit difficult, but I think I have it covered :)
I will pack lots of fake hair, clothes, shoes and make up soon.
Worst is I'm a bit sick and should probably spend 3 days in bed instead...

Here's another video I helped out with:

Pictures of a goth mum

These old pictures are a bit too cute to just be for my eyes.
I'm so proud of being a goth mum :)

Here I am in our old flat with Synthia

 Here with Fairlight in our black plastic sledge

and here being stripy with baby TeeBee

I smell - HELP me!

My 3 favourite perfumes have over time been the same 3...

• Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana (when to impress boys)
• Tribù by Benetton (when to impress girls)
• Woman by Hugo Boss (on every other occation)
• As deo spray I love Cat Deluxe by Naomi Cambell

Since my last pregancy I devloped a swelling in my nose that didn't go away as it's supposed to do after a while. This causes me to not being able to sence different smells so good. I did an operation to fix it, but it didn't succeed.. And NO - I didn't do a nose job as in plastic surgery! Oh, you are so going to compare old and new pictures of me now! I'm very sad I can't smell (and taste) the same like I used to do, I had a real gourmé nose. But I'm thinking of re-doing the surgery.

This also makes me not to dare to buy a new perfume!! I only play the safe cards I had since before the pregnancy since I can't trust my nose theese days. I have no idea on what perfumes smells modern and what smells like an old lady.

I'm thinking perhaps I'd give the Cat Deluxe perfume a go?
Any other tips now when you know what smells I like?

Kittens

We also met a few of Porsches babies when we visited I-L. Here is boy Pirri Pirri and girl Chayenne (?).

My pretty boys

They are so handsome together, Porsche and Prince Vinyl <3

Porsche doesn't quite understand he's the size of a small calf and think he is like a kitten in size, so poor Princen is being totally squished by him. But they are so sweet together.

Picture of my Porsche

Here's the first shot of me and Porsche.
I'm so sorry to have tricked you, but Porsche is a wonderful, seal masked siamese. He and Signhild was actually friends when Porsche was a kitten. And I met him when he was 1 year, that was when we got Signhild from the same breeder. "I-L" got so sad when I called her and said Signhild was about to be put to sleep that she offered me another cat for free - that's how Porsche ended up at my flat.
He befriended Prince Vinyl in 24 hours and they are already kissing eachother like crazy - so sweet!
He's a real darling..

Here's Signhild with Porsche as a kitten.

My Porsche is home!

I brought my Porsche home today :) It was a long and tiredsome ride I'd tell you. But what don't you do for a free Porsche - and it's the nicest Porsche I've ever seen!
I'm in LOVE <3

Homework done

I completed my homework! Nails with painted crosses. I even made a hill for the cross on the middle finger :)
(and yes, the heart is a tattoo)

Heart blouse in white

Just made a look-at copy of the Adorable Heart blouse for the seamstresses to look at to understand how I'm thinking. It will of course be in black later. Here's a sneak-peak

The sewing is NO good, that's why I have professionals doing it ;) This is more of a sketch...

Nice hobby!

A girl found this gif. someone made of me on the web.

This is what some people do on their spare time...

I love all peoples hobbies that involves me and being creative :)
This is fun!

Now I can eat humans!

Like most goths I've always fantasized about eating human flesh ;)
And now perhaps I can! Well, this is a step on the way at least.
I must learn this skill!
Imagine being on the train and pull out a foot, carve it in half, add some brie and nice ham to it and start to eat. People would faint all over the place. I'd really like that! (and if they are fainted I can eat them *hahaha*)
(you know I'm joking right? Or am I.....)

Spider hairclip

I'm no super fan of spiders - living ones, but my goth mind is intrigued by them so when ever I can find cool spiders to use as decorations on me I buy them. So far I only have super-glitter spiders.
I really suck at being a cool been-there-done-that kind of goth, I'm just too perky and get easily distracted by shiny things... This makes me feel embarassed, but I try to act like I'm cool anyway, and hopefully noone will see through my un-coolness. I just can't shake that glitz mind of mine. I'm like a raven! Collecting shiny objects..

But today I stumbled over this fantastic hairclip! It appeals to me big time. It's from Beserk clothing, Australia, for $8.90AUD. It's 2 1/2" by 2" in size. Much classier than those plastic ones I put in my hair..
This will make it to my Christmas list this year, Santa. Okay?

They have a Facebook to: http://www.facebook.com/beserkclothing?v=wall

I'm letting my brain work

Yesterday I got the pattern for the Adorable Heart blouse delivered by D. It looks smashing - but so difficult! Normally I wouldn't mind, since I'm not doing the sewing - but now my seamstresses want's a copy of the blouse made with the real pattern so I have to make one! Help!
Also I will make a description of how's it made. I have 3 hours to do it...
Cut, cut, sew, sew, untack, untack, sew, sew....

This is made after the old pattern

2 days -12 409 viewers!

I'm totally chocked, but 12 409 lovely people have already watched my new video on youtube.com - in only 2 days! And the cute thing is that almost everyone have shared their stories about their pets lost. I really get comfort in their stories. I read them all! There are lots of sweet people out there <3

Nail me

Looking down on my AWFUL, AWFUL haggardly purple nailpolish I tell myself I need to shape up!
Before the kids I re-painted my nails every third day, always looking good. But now? Oh, holy mother, I'm embarassed! I paint them at the most once a week. And I do have the 45 second-to-dry polish..so I can't put the blame on the time.
"-No, sorry, my day is over now. 45 seconds is something I don't have."

But this week Bàrbara Valls Garcia send me a tip on this cool device. I feel like I've lived under a rock for not knowing - I guess everyone is doing this but me!(?)

Now I must go out and find me this fantastic device so I can have the coolest bad-ass nails there is!
And to think I have just hand painted my hearts and crosses before. Mo-ha ha ha, the world is at my feet now! I will be a God as soon as I can get my hands on that thing ;)
Here's some inspiration:

and to get a good laugh. I adore theese little monsters - so inventive!

Can we all make a deal - and paint nice crosses until Friday? That will kick my ass out of the waggon!

Getting my Porsche on Saturday

This is just crazy, but I've been offered a Porsche. I will get it at Saturday if the weather is fine - it's a long drive. I can't wait to hear it's motor purrrrr.
Whiioooo :)
