Plague ahoy!

Just to rub it in, this virus that has been lingering in the kiddo, has now brought new experiences with kiddos first ever ear infection. Horrible times were had, lots of painkillers and tears. Kiddo is gutted as she has missed out on quite a few piano lessons now for being off school, and it's not helping that the asshat of the house says that she needs to go to her lesson or then someone else deserves her place. WTF? I had to really hold myself down for not smacking him with something. I'm sure if getting sick would be a choice, noone would do it. Dear lord, the stupid.

Well in between the sleeplessness, downing all the coffee and administrating painkillers, I managed to paint a bureau lid with blackboard paint, so now she can be messy on furniture with a permission.

 A pile of cards I made a while back

 Feresi, a Karelian dress, traditional style

 Cheapskate gardening....

 Cheapskate crafts, all the leftover scrap fabric into a little basket

 Bureau with blackboard/magnetic paint

Shitty strawberry nails, bored morning...

Cheapskate gardening is my favourite hobby! I have fuck all money to spend, so scraping something nice together from poundshop shit and other recycled tat is much more interesting to do than walking into a garden centre and throwing a fuckton of money at some posh plants that probably dislike the shitty climate anyway. Got the logs from my neighbour, used some old shed paint I had, and crocheted some little bum covers from old clothes.....

Right, get my shit together and ready for bed, I'm knackered and have to prepare myself for the possibility of yet another night of meds dispensing......

More shit I've made

Been a bit quiet again, but hey ho.. In 3 weeks time I'll be packing  my bags and going for a little holiday back in Finland, to live live like normal folk for a while...Me and the sprog are looking forward to this.
I've been pimping up my luggage, as it's quite plain looking, which means that spotting it can be a bit irritating in the baggage arrivals...Also been takin pics of more crap I've made during the last few years.... So rest of the post is more or less pics of  DIY junk.
Here we go...

Little one got some new curtains, just turned the edges neatly and quick passionate moments with my sewing machine, and done....

 Then I had some moments with my overlocker, and made this flappy hippy tunic, no patterns though..

 Ordered this lovely fleece from America, and it turned into a folklore inspired vest. All the ribbons are vintage bits that I have stashed....

Pencil skirt I made a few years back, it has a little frill in the bottom with a bow, just to give a little oomph to my already OOOOMPH arse... No patterns with this one.

Had more of this fabric, so tried a 50's inspired pattern on it, came out ok...

 A fluffy coat I made years ago. Heart shaped pocket and ties in front.

 Something I wove in school. It was not fun...........

 World Book Day required a book related outfit, so made this Little My outfit for sprog to wear.

 First go in sweetie sewing....Not great, but sproglet was happy to get a little pouch..

 Pimping up the suitcase a bit.....

And because my life is boring and we do nothing else, that's about it....
Ta-ra....

Card readings...

There is this lady, who does absolutely fantastic readings...I have gotten some hope and strenght from her readings before, so go check her lovely cute nalgas out in her blog here and if you want some spot on readings, that you can get there.
Otherwise it's been relatively quiet, nothing to blog about, yet.
Soon it's new episodes of Sons Of Anarchy, which I'm looking forward to, and also hoping that Futurama gets picked up by somebody, as it's too good show to cancel....
Mainly I've had a bout of  icantbearsed-ititis. Also the opening of the goddamn lurgy season was last week too, when the lil' un managed to get stuffy and then top it off with a nice heavy nosebleed. Urgh.
Poopsicles I say.
