sleeps my only friend...and spiderman

 Look who showed up at mono last night! Apparently he speaks and moves too. I need a friend like spiderman today. Today when I feel weak and tired it's good to know that someone strong has got  my back!

I'm not like you. When you have things on your mind it keeps you from sleep. Sleep is my friend at those times. I close my eyes and all my worries disappear. I float away in my dreams and forget about the troubles of this world. When I dance it's the same. I think of nothing else. Nomatter the storm, it calms as I start to move to the music. I dance and dream. It saves me.

I wonder what will save you?

overboard, false friends ignored

Last night was concert night at Mono. Mark Olson played with support from Sailorine. Since Sailorine is one of my best friends and someone I grew up with I had to go see them when they played in Oslo again.

Beautiful lyrics and wonderful harmonies set the atmosphere around the two on stage. Surrounded by Olsons fans (who seemed to take over the place) I overheard many comments about not only the norwegian girl on stage, but also the many strange instruments played.

Sailorine is releasing her 2'nd album on november 1'st and you can order the cd at Platekompaniet.
She is also playing a concert at Palace grill on november 22'nd.

somthing old,something new and blue jeans


Today I had to get op early to drive for 1 hr in traffic and get my tooth fixed. Since that wasn't exactly a perfect start of this lovely tuesday I thought I'd at least wear somthing cute.

Bag from a 2'nd hand shop at grunerløkka

I love the brown pattern of this sweather.

my favourite boots! Leather...I loooove them!

new tunic-dress with puff sleeves, old warm knitted sweather and old leopard scarf.

Torn up jeans tights that I got earlier this summer. The tear over the knee has gotten a bit big, so I'm planning on putting a patch on or something.

The dentist appointment went well, and on the way home I decided to stop by the mall to get a gift for my best friend. Her birthday was last week.

I also got a couple of things for me since I deserve it!

The best brand of french press around. This cup was on sale and I've been wanting to get one for a while. Perfect to make coffe for just me, and since it's steel it keeps the coffee hot for hours.

I'm not gonna say what's inside quite yet.

Some nice knitted gloves for the cold norwegian weather.

here comes the sun-day

fresh roses is a weekend must

Today was a nice sunday with the kids and my sister. We baked fresh rolls for lunch, wached cartoons and my sister cut our hair.





new hair and new top

  Mr E is on his way (well, guess he is there by now) to France on a business trip. He's gonna be gone the whole week, and since that doesn't work well with my job I'm flying the kids to my parents house in kristiansand tomorrow.

I'm looking forwards to a quiet week at home, and to get a lot of work done! I'm hoping to finish most of the costumes this week since I can sow day and night. (Yeah right, I'm gonna sleep sleep sleep:P)

Pineapple studios

I'm going to London!

Not for a while, but we just booked the tickets this week.
We're taking a trip, 4 teachers and an unknown number of students, in febuary. (During the vinter break)
We're taking classes at Pineapple studios (known from the tv-show) and we're going to 2 musicals.

I've been to London twice, but I've never danced there, so it's gonna be a fun experience!

I've barely seen the tv show, sice I really don't wach much tv. Anyone know if the series can be seen online?

kung fu

"Hero" Kung fu panda

Today I made the 1'st out of 6 "china-pants" that I need to sew before the christmas show. ( adding that Maria will sew the other 4 since we need 10)

my sewing machine a "singer"

First of all we went down to "greenland" (yeah, that's the actual name of the place) and got cheap fabric.

one leg done

I cut the fabric at work with a little help (or lot) from Bianca, and just went for it. I've never sewn pants in my whole life so I had no idea how it would turn out.

finished!

Now I'm pretty proud I must say, cuz they turned out quite nice!

Only got 5 to go.....

proud!

the dancing tree

A friend of mine e-mailed me this wonderful dancing tree. I just had to share it!

Wishing I could get my leg that high in an arabesque!
