I have been looking at other blog options for a while now since I started out with zoomin (which started out good and then got worse...). LJ was one option as well as Blogger. Well, I finally decided that Wordpress is the best choice for me.
So - the new and offical weblog can now be viewed at http://stolte.wordpress.com/
This means that this will probably be the last entry on LJ. See you over att Wordpress!
Last night was Juneborgs monthly sewing circle, this time at our home. The previous sewing circles has been small, two - three people usually and I've been thinking about things to do to increase the number of participants. No answers yet.
Last night on the other hand was different. There were 6 of us in various stages of discussing project and sewing, two tag-along spouses and a cute baby. Hurray!
I was working on eyelets on my short-sleeved self-supporting dress and got lots done! Also, we've been discussing making a beginners guide to garb, one male one female, with a few easy models and a how-to guide. Erich and me discussed this extensively last night and plans are definitely in the making! It will be a great thing for new members in Juneborg and maybe others can use it too.

My students have just started struggeling with algebra and equations. Maybe I should give them this one as an example:
heavy snow and wind last Friday + living in the countryside = no phone for 5 days
no phone for 5 days ---> no internet = having to give your professor the lamest exuse ever as to why you can't turn in your paper.
Maybe I should've just told him that the dog at it...
BTW, the phone work again yesterday. Yay!
I finally managed to sit down and do some tabletweaving! Yay me!
I'm currently working on a project comparing colours and designs in different materials. Here's a wool band that's almost finished. Next one will be same design but the colours (yellow and red) switched, the material will be silk. I've already made a wool band with switched colours.
I've had a project on my mind for a while now. Recently I've been starting to read several blogs regularly and since most of them are in english (by non-swedish people) I've been thinking of switching my swedish blog to an english one.
Same concept - different language.
The problem now is that I'm thinking about leaving the zoomin-community where I have my swedish blog and put it somewhere else. LJ and Blogger are two options.
Hmm.. decisions decisions.

I'm keeping this account mostly as a way to keep updated with my friends here on LJ. So don't expect any regular posting. In the meantime - please check out my website Stoltes Sömnad (still only in swedish unfortunately). That's were I keep all my sewing, weaving and other interesting crafts.
Cheers!
