REVAMPED!

I just finished revamping a dress into a skirt.
I found this summery girls dress (it's for a 6 year old)
at the car boot sale last Sunday for 20 pence and I knew
right away that I could revamp it into a skirt since I'm
quite petite.
It took me about 1 hour and I'm relatively pleased with
the result.
This skirt will look perfect with the red gingham top I'm
working on at the moment.

Talking about sewing, I got my dressmaking certificate
yesterday. I thought about attending another course in
the fall but it's not worth it since I don't get much help
and guidance from the teacher so my plan is to put an ad
out in the paper or on the net that I would like private
tutoring once a week from a retired lady who have all the
time in the world and who wouldn't mind some cash for
the trouble.

Sorry about the awfully dull pictures, there's more cute
details, like frills, than my crappy camera will tell...

Close up on the pattern.

SUNDAY'S FINDS

Sorry for the delay.
We have crazy Swedes over at the moment.
Today we're going for a picnic in Benington.

Did a silly amount of finds on Sunday, this is
just a few things, my favorite finds.
And like last time I converted the prices into
Swedish and American currency, it's more fun
that way...


Nautical glass bulbs, £1. (12 Kr, $1,45)


Brooch, £1. (12 Kr, $1,45)


Letter press, 50 pence. (6 Kr, $0,70)


Bag, 75 pence. (9 Kr, $1)


Necklace, £1. (12 Kr, $1,45)


Fabric, 20 pence. (2,50 Kr, $0,30)


4 Curtain lengths, £5. (60 Kr, $7)

BLAH!

Went to the hospital today.
Got the result from the MRI scan and it was normal.
The doctor didn't think I have Labyrinthitis, as they've
been telling me for 6 months now, but he said that he think
that I might have Vertebrobasilar Migraine.
He's not 100% sure so he will refer me to a neurologist.
I'm fed up with all this crap to be honest.

Got tons of cool finds on the car boot sale yesterday, I will
post pictures tomorrow if I'm up for it and have time.

YES, I'M A HUGE FAN

Am I a very bad person because I think this clip is
awfully hilarious?

IT'S PRACTICALLY SUMMER!

It's 26 degrees Celsius here!
We're sitting on the patio, sunbathing and sipping on drinks.
I even took my first proper ride on my new bicycle earlier.

FEELING GREAT!

So this is post number 300 already!
Feeling great today, had a good morning so far, with my
condition I'm happy for everything I can accomplish.
I managed a 40 minute power walk around the lake with
both hand weights and ankle weights and then I had a
very yummy fruit salad containing apple, banana, peach
and lots of fresh raspberries that I enjoyed in the sun.
I'm having a break to let the food digest a bit before I
do my daily leg presses.

Here's two songs that keeps me going!
