This fall have been a nightmere for me and my famely first my aunt died and then my parrents had a break in at ther house. Now I am starting to feal better.
I can not think of someting to writh abaut. Maby some outer time.

I wonder how famelystories can fade away in just tree generations. I have watched the tv show "Allt för sverige" it is fun to see how they reakt on things I take fore granted. If I could aford it I would go to USA and meet with my relatives ther.

Funderingar

Hur många klänningar med historiskt snitt behöver man?
JAg har minst 5 st medeltidsklänningar 2st i empirstil 3st kjolar i 1700-tals stuk. samt att jag har det mesta materialet för att sy en klänning alá 1865. Nu kom funderinar på om det är dags för ytterligare en empirklänning då jag ska på en julfest i december. Men de klännignar jag har räcker gott och väl. Men det är så kul att sy och att skapa nya plagg.

Weekend in London.

 This weekend I were in London and it was very intense. We had just tree days to see the things we wanted to see.Unfortunate I had heel spurs but I did not know that before I left home. But after a long walk I could not walk on the foot and in the morning after it was worse. I limped in to the bathroom. It became better with a insole. The best memories of the trip is the musical the phantom of the opera with Peter Jöback and the finale of Piccadilly circus circus ant the feeling of being drowned in feathers (1,5 ton). I felt as happy as in the first snow with big snowflakes that slowly falls towards the ground. It was magical. 


In Camden there are many buildings with artwork on the front. It was very different from the rest of London. I bout a new jacket and a corset.

She had a studio in Stockholm åt the bigining of the last century. I guess it is a size 10 and I mayby can wear it if i have a corset under it. I am a size 12. But it is a nice dress.
Then i found a big and heavy pillow. I have been searching for a pillow like that. It was a great search.

Sometimes when you think of a project and you say maybe I finish on that day. People around you shake their head an say no you have not the time fore it. But somehow you find the time and prove them all wrong. That was exactly what I did last week. I started to think that I needed a new dress for the regency picnics I have gone to under the summer. And I bout the fabric on Tuesday and started sew on Friday. On Saturday I had a break and went on a swim with Butterfly-girl and her children. On Sunday morning the dress was finish. how I did it I don't know. But It has some faults so I have to do some things over again.

Hello

I have a quiet evening with my cats and trying to studying english. I have read a bit from Bridget Jones diary and now I am trying to answer questions ön the text. It feels like the text is not something that stick on my brain.
But I can try to use this blog to train on writing.
