Victorian collar prototype

Today I got the first Victorian collar, signed BatBrat. I feel so proud!

But, sure, some trouble ahead once more. It's made in the wrong material. The seamstresses have used the dupion taffeta from the Adorable Heart blouse instead of the thicker bridal satin...

Just to send back, and redo.

What you think? About when I'm 97 the BatBrat collection will finally be out for sales...

My Music Mondays: Desireless

This was the second girl I fell in love with as a teen.
In the early 80's there was almost impossible to get hold of her outfit, now you can get it in like 3 days... WHY, oh why, was not Internet invented when I was a teen?!
The hairstyle is to die for! Enjoy both ears and eyes: Voyage Voyage by Desireless. Official page HERE.

I have made out with numerous boys that looked like this, but with colored black hair <3

My husband was one!

As the rest of the songs I've presented on Music Monday's this is a classic for Swedish synthare/electro goths.

Todays make up

Apparently I'm down.

Could it be because it's Monday?

Never me! I'm like a rocket in the pants of a dog scared of bit of kaboom!

Happy mode: ON!

My Monday view

This is so corny, but I just can't resist!

I want you all to share this morning moment with me, it's so calming.

Dollhouse

To make a toilet out of a candy box...

I will try to make a toilet and a wash basin out of parts from Marabou Paradis chocolate box.

Mo-hahaha, it's so evil.

Lights out for Christmas

Light out för this years Christmas tree. I just turned it off for the last time before undressing it.

2012 years ago Jesus have had his fun; was born, got some gifts and will now continue his life as a baby by sucking his mum's breast dry for a while before he starts with all his "miracles " that we  can all read about in his blog, by that era a book he named the Bible.

How this is celebrated in the modern world is by letting all the woman's in the world spend a full days time by carefully pack down ALL the Christmas decorations that's been up to celebrate the little rascal. Wohoo, thanks Jesus for giving us this fab gift.

Couldn't have thought out some nice "Thank you poor woman who just gave birth to me-gift-day"? I'd like it if some days after Christmas we celebrated all the womens.

We can call the day "Wommas", "Mariemas" or "Missmas" and it could be about giving women an easy day. The gift of a favour rather than a physical gift.

So,  now we can celebrate Missmas the 3'd Sunday after Christmas.

Happy Missmas all girls in the world!

Today is the first Missmas ever, let's celebrate in style!

Montignac Method: Dinner tips

Here you can see how easy it is to change to the Montignac way of eating!

I make my own hamburgers (minced meat, an egg, salt, pepper and a lot of other spices I don't know the English name for - no pre-blends!).

The kids eat it with burger bread, cheese and French fries, tomato and stuff.

We exchanged the bread, cheese and Ff with grilled mushrooms, paprika, ruccola, tomato, onion. In Montignac you can eat as much as you want to. Since you eat "right" you will still loose weight.

But don't forget - 1/2-1 apple/pear/orange or likewise 20 minutes before every meal to avoid that sugar craving after.

Loose weight, not the fun of eating! And not the sense....  By that I mean - to just stop eating kills your brain, inner organs and your looks. I promise I eat like this (and do not throw up afterwards) , and you can all see how I look. Slender. Wanna be skinny? Do it my way - by eating! Love <3

Today's make up

Stupid phone didn't put up this picture of my Friday make up, close.
It was very pretty I rhink <3

Friday the 13'th

I might perhaps look a bit dressed down today, on this Friday the 13'th, but I'm wearing a Kraftwerk T-shirt, and you can never look bad wearing Kraftwerk!

Jewels

There was a 75% off sale on Guldfynd yesterday,  so I bought the kids some nice silver earings and a few bracelets that I just redone to fit their tiny wrists. They will be so happy when they see them!

I'll think I'll go back to buy some more today. I love a good bargain!

The left over pearls might become a sweet nosechain. Sweden is getting cold, and to wear a metal nosechain is not that much fun then...

Blood

Yesterday I cracked my skull open. Ouch! Bang! Darn, that new toilet cabinet!

"-Mum! Blood!"

It felt so nice and warm.

If I wasn't in such a hurry to leave the kids at school I would have let it running just to see how it would turned out. It looked so cool!

Dollhouse

A few more pictures of the dollhouse toilet.


Today I've done no working on the house, but I did start to make a "money robot" with TeeBee.
It was his short day at daycare today.
And while I was at the dentists he had to stay at his dad's work, and he was so sweet and good behaved that one of my husband's coworkers gave him a "tip"! For that tip he wanted to buy himself a special yoghurt, and then he got some coins back and didn't wanna put them in his piggy bank so I suggested we should build a money robot. So we did!
It's not completely done, but it can eat money and the money ends up in his tummy just like TeeBee wanted. We have only the legs and the eyes left for tomorrow.
I'll take a picture of it in the morning, it turned out very well! it's made out of an After Eight box, a fluidliner box, paper and steel wire and some decorations.
It's so fun having kids and do this sort of things :)

Gothic item: Octupus lamp

In my mind I live in a wonderful, scary castle filled with amazing designed goth items (instead of this white, white and white apartment mostly designed to carry as much stuff in the smallest area possible).

GetBentMetal on Etsy.com. Price: $1,500.00 CAD Buy it HERE.

In my "mind home" this lamp will have a certain place.
Sure, a "bit" costly, but to my fortune, my mind home also carries a huge "mind account".
I love this idea! I'm not a huge octupus fan in general, but this I just can't resist!
It got all of it's 8 arms wrapped around me!

Today's make up

I did a root filling before Christmas. Last night I went nuts (well, HAD nuts to be correct - can't become something you already are ).
Filling fell out. Must see the dentist today.

One thing dentists do really well is smudging your make up. So on "dentist days" I'm not that particular with my make up.
Still, like to wear much but I focus on waterproof and non smudging make up.

This is today's dental make up. Lipstick are less clever to use (been making out, have we?) so I just put some on my finger and colorize carefully, or use the kids permanent lipstick.
I'll have to do an "after" shoot to show you.
Haha, I often ask them to put paper on my head as well to not be sprayed with water. I think they think I'm a bit on the crazy side...and I know they are right.

Dollhouse

This is how the two beds turned out:

I made a small mattress for them today as well. How I wish I could shrink and try one out. But they aren't comfy I suppose. I'm used to a soft, poofy princess mattress myself.

And the toilet is slowly getting there... Today the kids wanted me to make a small round pool for the outside as well...
"-Hi, kids, I'm your mom, and my life is only about pleasing you."

Nah, the truth is I love making things like this with, and for, them. When they are not home I play myself :)
Computer games? Never! Playing with dollhouses and making fun games about pee, with the kids - that's my kind of fun! I'll tell you about that pee game some other time!

Dollhouse

Fairlight 's pink bed is now glued and ready for using.

It will get the legs painted and then we will make some pillow and stuff.

But it's ready for a play test.

This is how the original print looked like, the blue one I altered in Photoshop.

Dollhouse

Next bed in process. I think they look divine! I'm just a happy amateur but I'm still impressed that I could make such a cute bed just out of paper :)

Perhaps I regret it in one hour when the kids smash it...

Dollhouse

This thing, dollhouse decorating, would very much be the best thing ever!

I have seen some real pro people out there that makes a dollhouse so real, it's fantastic!

I'm still but an amateur but I enjoy myself and the kids are so happy with the progress. After all, it's to be played with, not stand and collect dust.

I just made Synthias blue bed and will now make Fairlight's pink bed.

I just took a picture of the web, transformed it a bit in Photoshop, printed and glued on both sides of an old ice cream carton for stability and put together. For legs I used the stick from the ice cream, painted white and glued them on with my glue gun.

Ta daa!  One bed made!

It's getting tested right now for playing, and so far, so good.

Today's make up

I'm guessing this is getting a bit boring since I always look more or less the same, but I will continue to show my daily make up every once in a while anyway!

Close up.

Fairlight's usual blood test

Approximately every 3-6 weeks Fairlight have a blood test to make sure her disease JDM, Juvenile Dermatomyotis, is under control.



Today it became a sweet blood bath :) She was a trooper as usual and smiled through the while thing.

Now we are waiting for her to get her weekly Metotrexat (a cellular poison. Not sure how to explain it.)
