I'm back!

So the time has come to join the Me-Made-May '15 - challenge! I have actually awaited this moment since last year, when I chose not to sign up as I stumbled upon it in late April, and didn't have more than 2 hand-made items in my closet. Therefore, here is my pledge!

 I, Malin of http://cozycraftingdiy.blogspot.se/, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '15. I endeavour to wear atleast 5 handmade of refashioned items each week for the duration of May 2015.

In addition, I'll:

• try to use my current wardrobe in outfits that is well put together,
• wear every me-made or refashioned item atleast once during the period,
• finish up the items in my list from my previous post if I don't finish them before May 1st.

If you haven't heard about this Me-Made-May-challenge, you can read all about it on this blog: http://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.se/2015/03/me-made-may15-sign-up-here.html and she'll tell you all about it! :)

Now to something completely different!

My bf and I went to Ikea yesterday and bought some things that we needed at home, like a sofa-table that's not gigantic, a 4 slot Kallax and a Råskog rollingwagon(translation?) And all sorts of small knick-knack that we "need". And today I bought a small greenhouse for the balcony where I can finally start seeds outdoors! Soon I can eat some veggies I hope!

Also, I have finished one refashion item since last post, the blue/white blouse and I have actually worn it to work already(need to try them clothes out ;D) Next I hope to have sewn one item from scratch, and atleast refashioned 2 items under week 15 from now. I need these deadlines so I actually get to work and don't just let them lay there and "I'll do them later".

One big thing I need to start this easter-weekend is setting grades on the 6th-graders in art, since I'm the one in charge of that now since the spring semester started. My goal is going through all 50-ish works they have turned in for grading. There are still some left who has been sick a lot, and I gave them another week to finish up (we only have one 80 minute class each friday). Oh well, better get started sooner or later!

And tomorrow is my B-day! I'm turning 25, and it feels wierd. I'm halfway to 50! My bf is at his parents house for easter dinner, while I'l stuck at home watching the neighbors cats. And he'll bring me 2 "gifts" his grandmother found at home, essential pieces for weaving on a table-loom. I can finally start weaving! :D Just need to clean them throughout though.
