Nordic Loop Giveaway

Publicerad 2016-03-21 23:55:12 i This day...

I'm so excited!!!
Today at 19.00 I started a wonderful giveaway loop with 10 other lovely ladies (everyone from different places of northern Europe) on Instagram.

I feel very grateful to my new, sweet friends. But definitely, I owe biggest thank to sweet Elou. (You should totally check out her Etsy shop ElouEarth so beautiful jewelry, and right now SALE!!!) ^_^

Strongly believe that she will never understand how thankful I'm that she asked me to join in the loop. Love to you my friend. 

The prize you would have the chance to win from me, is this wonderful bolero.
It's knitted, in a one size model, with pearl details.
So don't forget to check out Meno on Instagram, @ainazmeno.
Love to you all!

In my jungle

Publicerad 2015-10-07 08:13:00 i This day...

I am always in my jungle of yarn, working on all my projects. (Right now: 4 work in progress, and maybe 1* amount of dormant!)

I think I need to get some structure in this... or, just fix that later.

My biggest project in this moment (and also for all my years as a craftsman) is a crochet bedspread.
I have seen them before and always thought "DAMN! Too big, too much... not in my lifetime!"
But then, of course, it came a request from a friend. And in that time it was very low on inspiration for me, so I really needed that push!
SO NOW! After a lot of work, and some trouble to find the yarn, I'm done with the lengths I needed to do.
Hopefully there are not to much left. ^_^

A change of feeling

Publicerad 2015-07-06 16:14:01 i This day...

My most recent project on my sewing machine is to shorten up a dress for a friend.
She thought the dress was too long for her, more suitable for older women. And I can sometimes have the same thoughts or feelings when I'm looking on some clothes in stores. I can find dresses that are super sweet but have a length that would make me feel very naked.
That is what I like of making clothes to friends and family. That I can help them to get that little extra touch that would make everything a little more fun. And so that the clothes are suiting them better than they are suiting the clothes. ^_^

Coloring by tea

Publicerad 2015-06-25 12:38:37 i Meno collection

This was the first time I tried to coloring at home with natural materials. Before have I tried to coloring with color you have to wash in the washing machine with the fabric. (Usually with unsatisfying results for me.) But this was more fun and I must say the results is so crazy good!
Who thought that it could end up this great with only a little tea. I should have done this a long time ago.

I just used 15 tea bags, that was coloring the boiled water. Letting the water cool down, and then let the sweater be in the water for about 20 min. (Without the bags in the water!)

 

Now the summer is here!!

Can you feel the warm wind, hear the birds sing...
because I can't. Haha ^_^
Here in Sweden (at least in Stockholm area) it's so windy that you are freezing your buttocks off you if you have some nice summer clothes on you. And it haven't even been warm enough for me to dare to try swimming in the sea.
And (I'm just saying) I'm no chicken.
That is how it some times is, but it do not stop me from keeping on dreaming and planning for my own summer wardrobe.

 

 

Merry Xmas

Now is the last pictures from Sandyshoot up on the blog and Meno Facebook page.
Hope you all like them as much as I did... because I loved them!
Tomorrow it's Christmas eve and I will release my big finale from Sandshoot.

I want to tank everyone who helped me make this.

Happy holiday ^_^

 

Perfect timing with BERLIN

Publicerad 2014-11-26 22:12:47 i This day...

That weekend in Berlin was like the dot over the i for me, (sorry for the really bad, direct translation from Swedish) but that weekend was the best little dose of German that I needed.
I was walking around with a silly smile all the time, because I was so happy hearing German! (In Berlin, what a shock! ) And I had some great time with Photo, and some partying, movie and just nice relaxing.
Did not shop anything anyway. Maybe stupid... could always need new shoes. Well, next time then!

 

I came back 23:00 on the Monday evening, and was working from Tuesday till today. ^_^ That’s why I'm telling this so late.

Some cool lamps Photo took photos of.
Me, as the big bad wolf, haha! For an animal party that no one, except me, was dressed up to. But I think I remember seeing a bee! ^_^
My one and only souvenir from this trip! (Except my memories.)
 

Berlin for second time

Publicerad 2014-11-19 15:57:24 i This day...

I'M GOING TO BERLIN!!!!
Today after work I'm going straight to the airport, for a long weekend in Berlin.
(I love that I now have friends all over the world that I can come up with lame excuses to visit.)
Last time I was in Berlin was just for two days. A last minute trip from Vienna with my friend Photo, (haha, that's going to be his name from now on) just because we wanted to go on one heck of a house party!
Hopefully I will not sleep away a hole day, like I did last time.

 
Pictures from last time in Berlin, summer 2014!
 

Time flies

Publicerad 2014-10-29 23:38:55 i This day...

The days fly by and I don't know what to do about it.
I'm laughing at my self and my laziness.
Or maybe the word “lazy” is the wrong word. It can be... in so many different ways. In my way of saying that I'm lazy right now is translated to that I rather spend my time watching Doctor Who and work on a knitting than doing anything else. (On my free time of course. I still go to work!) But then it's always people seeing the things you aren't doing. And how kindly they are telling you about it.
I love the nagging that is coming from my friends and family. It means they care.

Continue shine

Lying in my bed with some small symptom of the common flu.
That's my life today. Sleeping, drinking liters of tea and watching a tv serie.
But that's ok, because I'm free from work for two days now.
Yes, my work!
I was a little nervous for how long it would take me to get on my own two feet when I moved back to Sweden. And thanks to my best friend help, it only took two weeks. ^_^
So I'm happy. I'm earning my own money again, starting to building up my contacts and planning my future.

 
P.S. Sorry for no updates, have to work on that.

 

 

Forgotten projects

Publicerad 2014-08-11 17:47:31 i This day...

Being home is good, the only bad part right now is that I had to clean out two big wardrobes that have been full with bags and boxes of my things. So far I think I been to the recycling center with maybe 40% of everything.
The silver lining of this is that I have been finding old projects.
Some knitting projects that would be really fun to finish now and a dress that need to get the last touch.
My dog, Riddick, don't like it when I'm bothering him. (^_^)
Hopefully it will come up some nice pictures of them in a few days.

Last days in Wien!

Publicerad 2014-07-29 23:30:55 i This day...

I'm now in the end of my time here in Wien.
Tonight is the next last night here, and it is celebrated by me and my friends.
Making a wonderful memory for me, and some nice hangovers. ^_^
 

Day of photos

Publicerad 2014-07-29 00:12:00 i This day...

This day have been so much fun!
 
My friend (is a hobby photographer, but a dame good one!) finally got his hands on a good camera and we had a photo shoot. 4 hours were we running around in beautiful Schönbrunn, taking a lot of professional pictures. But not the street style photos I was mentioning before, no no, we did a more romantic, classy one.
