I haven't done nothing this last year. I've infact done a lot.
And here are some of the things:
The Wedding dress is sketched by me, but not really sewed by me. There where a seamstress hired for that task!

My little girl was the flower girl on the same wedding. So I made her dress as well. It is really so much fun doing these things :)

Joy for the eye

I just love to look at Alexander Mcqueens clothes.
I love them all.

LOVE ART bags

It's really fun and lovely to paint these bags. Three more made the other day. Well, the middle one was actually made by my daughter :)

It's really wasy and fun, and the bags just get so much more personally, do it!

Cross stictch embroydery

It wasn't the easiest but not the hardest eatiher.
Doesn't look the best but I'm for sure hooked and need to do this on more clothes. The problem with this one was that I started six months ago, and the pattern I had was not very clear, and as it was such a long time ago that I started, I dodn't really remeber to well how it should look like.

But I manage to finnish, and now I'll need to find more clothes to pimp up like this!

My sheperdess and her two sheeps

Pretty flat hair, I think it was supposed to be a hat there, but the black and white pattern I had, was very hard to read...

A year has passed

And I guess I should have some kind of explination, or giving a big charade about it.
I can just say that the last year has been a mind and eyes opening year. It did make me understand things about me, and my surronding.
I got to understand that I'm not as good in some things that I thought, and there is a long way to become or get where I want to be.
It took me long time, but over the months, an determination has awoken and a real idea and plan is worked on. And that feels exsiting now. I know where I need to head, and I will do the best I can to do it.


I'm not where I want to be, I've got so much more to learn and figure out. But I'm on a real way and I just need to continue with my plan.

And here I'm gonna show that I'm someone. 

Creativity

I’m looking backwards, looking the the memories and moments that has happened. I’m looking back to see who I was when I came here, and who I’m now, when I’m leaving. 
I’m not raelly the same person in some ways. Prague has really given me all she could give to me, and it’s tome to find out what another place can give me. 
But yes she has given me a lot. 
It’s been in recent years, after coming here that I’ve been really exploring the creative vein inside me. 
Inspiried by the place and the people I’ve met. 

I just finnised painting three bags, and even more ideas came to my mind. I’m looking forwards to move to a new flat, and see how I can decorate it. Im excited my the pattern, to a pair of shorts I’m planing of making. As long as it has to do with being creative. Or being an artist, or being in somewhat cultural. 
I went into a fabric store the other day and my heart started to raise. All the fantastic things that exists and all the wonderful clothes I could do with it. 
AN ugly rag thirst, I’m looking at and wonder what I could do to change it, to be wearable again. Everything doesn’t turn out nice, or good. But more and more things does. 

I’m getting more and more precis with my skills, with my ideas and my executions. Less and less sloppy, and more and more accurate. 
It’s fantastic that I’ve explored this inside me, and I know that this must be my life. I get that it might not be the only thing I do, maybe a side job as well. But this is my life. In this lies my passion and I’m gonna read more, sew more, sketch more and practise more. 

I’ve been so unsure of my own possibility. Scared that I’m not good at this, that I’m just a pretender. That how come would I know anything about being an artist. 

But no! 

No more being scared, no more feeling put down. No I’m not in near an expert in what I do. But I’m good and I got an eye for it. And the progress that I’ve done the last 4 years, when I started to explore this side in me is incredible, without even really work for it. 
Imagine what I can do if I really work for it! 

And I WILL!
