I\u2019ve taken a break from the remodelling of the house to write an entry in my at the moment overlooked blog. I\u2019m sitting here covered in dust trying not to dirty up the computer while I\u2019m writing. We just finished putting up the new walls and are at the moment sanding them even before painting, so everything in my house is covered with this white fine dust that seems to get around everywhere. Well it is just a matter of time before we\u2019ll get to start painting, and that is after all the fun part of remodelling. Speaking of time, which I seem to have too little of these days. It seems like forever since I was living in London, even if it is less than two months ago. One of the last things I did before moving was to hold a competition in this blog, and the first thing I did when I came back to Norway was to draw and announce the winner. The competition was to guess what I was knitting at the time<\/a>, and Discoknits<\/a> was the winner. Now I promised a wonderful surprise to the winner, and even if Discoknits is still waiting for her prize, I haven\u2019t forgotten and she won\u2019t have to wait in vain for much longer. You see, I had a plan to find my old jewellery tools and stash as soon as I came back to Norway. I was inspired and had wanted to make some earrings and stitch markers, and I was really looking forward to do it since it is at least two years since last time I was working with beads and wire. Time flies when you are having fun, and while redecorating the house there\u2019s been neither room nor time to sit down and be creative. The other day, Kay had to go to a meeting in the evening, and I decided to finally get around to my plan so I cleared up some space between all the tools, boards and nails, sat down in the middle of the dust, and went for it. This is the result: eight glam markers (which any project would be so proud to wear). These are \u201dthe cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me\u201d of stitch markers, made in handmade glass beads and silver wire. A pair of the blue ones, and the golden scarabs goes in the mail to Discoknits. The other pair of blue, and the pink ones will make my own projects shine, as well as the earrings which will make me shine. That\u2019s it, next time I will show you pictures of my new walls.<\/p>\n

Jeg har tatt pause fra oppussinga av leiligheten for \u00e5 skrive et innlegg i min for tiden mye oversette blogg. Her sitter jeg dekket av pussest\u00f8v og pr\u00f8ver \u00e5 ikke f\u00e5 noe p\u00e5 maskina, men faktum er at hele leiligheten er dekt av st\u00f8vet, det kommer til p\u00e5 de mest utrolige steder. Vi har f\u00e5tt satt opp gipsplatene, sparklet dem, og n\u00e5 pusser vi de jevne f\u00f8r maling. Heldigvis er det ikke s\u00e5 lenge til vi skal begynne \u00e5 male, noe som jo er den artigste delen av oppussinga, og bra er det, for n\u00e5 begynner vi \u00e5 g\u00e5 lei. Det f\u00f8les som en evighet siden jeg bodde i London, selv om det bare har g\u00e5tt knappe to m\u00e5neder. En av de siste tingene jeg gjorde f\u00f8r jeg flyttet var \u00e5 holde en konkurranse her inne p\u00e5 bloggen, og den f\u00f8rste tingen jeg gjorde etter flyttinga var \u00e5 annonsere vinneren. Konkurransen gikk ut p\u00e5 \u00e5 gjette hva det var jeg strikket p\u00e5<\/a>, og Discoknits<\/a> ble vinneren. Jeg lovte en fantastisk overraskelse til vinneren, og selv om Discoknits venter fremdeles, skal hun ikke vente forgjeves. Jeg hadde nemlig en plan om \u00e5 finne frem smykkeutstyret mitt n\u00e5r jeg kom hjem til Norge. Det er over to \u00e5r siden jeg sist hadde \u00e5nden over meg, men n\u00e5 f\u00f8lte jeg meg inspirert og ville lage maskemark\u00f8rer og noen \u00f8reringer. Vel tiden flyr mens man har det artig, og midt oppi oppussinga ble det plutselig ikke s\u00e5 lett \u00e5 finne verken tid eller plass til noe smykkelaging. Her om dagen m\u00e5tte min Kj\u00e6re p\u00e5 et m\u00f8te p\u00e5 kveldstid og endelig fikk jeg satt planen min ut i live. Jeg rydda meg plass mellom planker og spiker, satte meg til midt i alt st\u00f8vet og gikk i gang. Her er resultatet: et par \u00f8reringer, og \u00e5tte ordentlige glam maskemark\u00f8rer, hvilket strikket\u00f8y ville ikke bli um\u00e5telig stolt over \u00e5 f\u00e5 lov til \u00e5 g\u00e5 med disse? Dette er eksklusive saker nemlig, alle metallkomponenter er laget av meg og er i s\u00f8lv, perlene er h\u00e5ndlagede (ikke av meg) og i glass. Et par av de bl\u00e5 mark\u00f8rene, og de gyllne skarabeene g\u00e5r i posten til Discoknits. Resten beholder jeg selv, s\u00e5 n\u00e5 kan b\u00e5de jeg og strikket\u00f8yet skinne med nye smykker. Dett var dett…neste gang skal dere f\u00e5 se bilder av de nye veggene mine.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
