Time for Cuddles

Milky has never been a lap cat. And today he just decided to walk into my lap and take a nap. Melted my heart, even if it made me miss an hour of my laundry time and my legs are now in big pain. I love this monster!

A Day With Mom

Yesterday I had a lovely day with my mom. We went in to all the cute stores and boutiques that are here in town. We had lunch at lovely café that I have wanted to visit since I moved here, they had a really tasty soup. After the fall of darkness we went out to Liseberg, the amusement park. There's beautiful Christmas lights all over the park and they also had different types of Christmas fairs. We also saw a beautiful ice skating show before having vegetarian Christmas buffet. It was a great day, even if I from time to time was a bit cold.

 

Kristina från Duvemåla

This weekend my mom is visiting Gothenburg. My oldest brother and his wife were supposed to come as well, but my brother is sadly ill so they both stayed at home. Truth be told I'm glad that they stayed at home. Mom and I kicked of the weekend by goign to GöteborgsOperan and watched a musical called "Kristina från Duvemåla", based on the Emigrants novels by Vilhelm Moberg. I have never seen it before, but I grew up with two songs from this musical. Guldet Blev till Sand and Du Måste Finnas, both really great songs. Fell in love with a new one during the performance, Aldrig.

The musical was great, though I wanted to slap the kids sitting behind me. They talked so much! There should be rules against bringing children to these kind of events.

Enjoy the music! Aldrig performed by Åsa Bergh, from the original ensemble.

Zoink!

I don't know if I even told this blog that I'm doing an internship at Zoink! But yeah, that's what I'm doing these days and I love it. The people there are great, the game that we are working on is great and I get to do a lot of cool stuff. One of the cool things that I can show of is this short animation, my first run cycle.

check out Zoink at Vine for more crazy videos!

Making a Princess

After a lot of thinking I decided to turn myself into Princess Leia Organa for my friends Halloweenparty/Birthdayparty. And I did of course make my costume all by myself, not only the dress but also her gun. It was really fun to be sewing again, though it would have been a lot easier and the result would have been better if I had used the right kind of fabric. But I'm poor so I had to make do with what I could afford. I followed this very handy tutorial and it was great since the measurement suited me perfectly.

  

The dress took a day to make, it was really easy. 

Making the gun was a very interesting process. I spent hours in the hardware store without finding the right material. But I was able to find everything I needed in my magical wardrobe, the one filled with all kinds of stuff.

  

The pipe is made from glitter-glue pen, the colorful parts are clay and then there is some wire in there as well. A little bit of everything!

And here is the final result! Photographer is my dear friend Josefine Oldeman, who also fixed my hair.

  

Final Inktober

I know, October is over and so is also this years Inktober. But I finally manage to finish my last picture for this challenge. I wasn't able to draw everyday, but I did my best and I'm now looking forward to go back the normal pencil.

And so it Begins...

I'm wrapping the first Christmas gift for this year. Selma is delighted, since she loves playing with the wrapping strings. She is really adorable. I would love to wrap the second gift as well, since I just finished it. But I don't have any clear tape, so wrapping is a bit hard I guess. I will probably start making Christmas cards soon as well.
