Finished?

I while back I found this picture exercise but I never been good at sticking to the rules so I didn’t… but it doesn’t matter as long as it works and it did. I used this picture by Edward Gorey for inspiration and I finished my first short story ever! (unless you count the stuff you were forced to write in school and I don’t) I’m not truly finished though, I need to have it on ice for awhile and go through it and then I will be but still, this is progress for me. It’s been on ice for a month now so I think I’ll look it over soon. I’ve printed it out since I prefer to go through things on paper and doodle on it. So this could be it, I might have finished something.

This is what I want for the slope

But it’s just so much weeds there, it will take me weeks to get rid of them, and then there’s just clay and rocks so I have to do something about that as well. The easy thing would be to plant roses there but I like this combo so much, it looks so nice! But also, I fear that people passing by on the road will pick flowers and simply mess it up, so things with thorns would be a good thing.
The picture is from “Allt om trädgård” by photographer S O Mathews. Sorry, I don’t make it justice, my scanner sucks.

In the picture, Dahlia “Porcelain” and tall verbena (verbena bonariensis). I think I would throw in some kind of grass and some Mexican aster as well.

Spam mail

Some spam mails are sort of funny, I got this one today:
"Have much sex yours and her sex. Woman, enjoy time with them a longer last you. (website here) that these investments You want to learn about and organized decision on the (and impress cocktail party guests) of free play time,"

Someone also sent me this poem, to me and 38 others which made me feel really special:

What i love about you
I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, I Love You,
And the way youre always there.
I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,And glad that you are mine.

When i Googled it, it looks as if a Crystal Jansen is the author of the poem.

I like it!

I found this cute site called Garden Shed Hall of Fame, I want a shed or similar in my garden as well. A shed, a greenhouse, something. A place to plant seeds, store plants for the winter, have tea, write and just have a cozy moment all by yourself. No phone, no annoying people, warm slippers… And an old heater for warmth, one which you can make tea with/on. I want this!!

Big Fish

Saw "Big Fish" yesterday. Not my favorite Burton but... favorite scen was Jessica Lang and Albert Finney in the bathtub, "I don't think I'll ever dry out"

Not sure how I ended up here...

But somehow I did end up at this site and it was a good thing because just look at these pictures, BOOKS!! They are so pretty! Which makes me think of my friend Amanda who doesn’t think that paperbacks are “real” books or that you can have them in you bookcase? Why can’t you have paperbacks in your bookcase? She has never given me an actual reason; she just frowns and says something like, “I don’t know, I don’t like them…”Then we have Heidi who thought that paperbacks are a cut version of the real book and that’s why they are cheaper than hardcover’s, how cute is that =P She was also very angry at “Sex and the city” by Candace Bushnell.
“Yuck, I hate that!”
“Why?” I asked, even though she hates most books, I honestly don’t think she owns a book. The only book I do know that she has (maybe not anymore) is my copy of Harry Potter which her guinea pig ate the cover of.
“I hate when they make books of movies and series.”
“What if I told you they made the series based on the book?”
“I hate it anyway.” She said after a few moments of silence. Anyway, back to the topic…. So the pictures are from a book called “Libraries” by Candida Höfer. I post my two favorite pictures

Topshop

These jackets won’t keep you warm during the winter but they are nice. I defiantly need to get my ass into town and do some shopping, or at least just have a look and try things (that I can’t afford) on. Both jackets from Topshop

I try these shoes on every time I see them

I want them to be blacker, I want them to be cheaper, maybe they are on sale somewhere? I have to get some shoes, it’s snowing outside. It's from Merrell

I wish it was red

But it’s cute anyway, but if it was red it would be even cuter and you could pretend to be little red riding hood. It's by Crispin & Basilio and I found it at Aer Luxe

Just because she's so darn cute

Seriously, how cute! If I put this on I’d look like an idiot but she looks great!

I’ve realized that I need a bag…

Maybe Beatles bag? (Sorry for the crappy pictures) I like the Beatles, all the Beatles bag from The Fest where they have more Beatles stuff.

I also found this site where I found this bag, fatigue or vintage brown?

Pleaser

I can’t walk in heels but soon I have to at least try because there are so many cute shoes out there. These are from Pleaser

What the hell!?

So I was out on the net looking around and I went by Room Service to see if there was anything new and I was chocked when I saw this picture of the cat, poor little kitty! By the looks of it the cat will kill the owner before Christmas. Who buys wigs for their cat anyway? Sick!
The picture is from Kitty Wigs

Modern Swedish Ruins

Picture by Rutger

I like old worn-out houses so I really liked this site I found by accident. Makes me want to go out and look for some abandon places, I know there were one or two places like that growing up but I don’t think they are many left around here anymore.

Topshop

I was at Topshop the other day and I found such cute slippers, I didn’t buy them because I had promised myself not to buy anything since I spent way too much money the day before, but they were very cute.

Books

Why I want Max Brooks “Zombie survival guide” when there’s no zombies around I don’t know, I really don’t but something tells me this is a good investment. Same thing with “The Monster Hunter’s Handbook” by Ibrahim Amin but I would like to have that one too.

I can’t get this out of my head…

Star Wars stuff

Thanks to Wonderland I found this cute Chewie backpack. Who doesn’t want a wookie on their back? And thanks to John Gushue…Dot dot dot I found this Han Solo shirt, it says it all. Both the backpack and the shirt can be found at ThinkGeek

This could be the best music video ever

I like most of their videos but this is one of the best, if anyone hasn’t seen it, do it! Beastie Boys “Sabotage” This is the longer version from Beastie Boys Video Anthology, interviewer is apparently none other than Sophia Coppola.

Kmye Chan

Not sure how I found the site Blogickal but through that I found Kmye Chan, French girl who makes wonderful art and for some reason doesn’t like cats. Anyway… I can defiantly picture her stuff on my wall and her stuff is available on her deviantART shop

Friday...?!

I honestly thought it was Thursday today but guess not. Have no idea how that happened? What happened with Thursday? Or maybe it was Wednesday or some other day I managed to lose, anyway, Friday came as a surprise… Tea time for sure.

Managed to get this picture of a poppy in the garden when I got back from the walk, kind of like it, looks pretty good, if I may say so myself.

Old

I wonder how long it will be before I get sick of the tartan one...

Instead of a walk-in

There is no way I can get a walk in so what can I do? I saw this picture in an IKEA catalogue and I thought, I’ll just live in my closet instead! We all want to have our own little store don’t we so why not make one? My room will probably be closet/library though. Only problem is finding cute hangers...

I love this “cardigan”

This looks so freaking cozy and cuddly. I would knit this myself if I had a clue on how to do that. It’s from Laredoute

We sell houses we want to live in ourselves... are their motto
