the selling continues

Today there were two persons here, one buying stuff for 18€ and the other for 35€. I don't know if my prices were low, but I asked for what I felt was reasonable for good stuff. One will come tomorrow to pick up stuff for 12€. One was supposed to come and try on pants, but never showed up. We'll see how that ends.

selling everything

Edit:: All pictures have been removed due to space issues

At least it feels like that. Today I spent over 2 hours photographing and loading stuff to a sales page on facebook. Some of the "better" stuff sold instantly =)
Here comes part of the heap

pimpin' the pram for spring

Our new seat didn't have a footsack, and since the color isn't manufactured anymore, it came down to sewing =) I missed a bit with the pattern, making it a inch or two too long, but it still fits, just not as snugg as it's supposed to.

Whilst at it, I made a matching diaper bag/nursing bag. Not a big one, but big enough for a few diapers, a change of clothes ans some treats.

I accidentally punched out the wrong size of hole on one side, luckily it turned out that I had misplaced the snap buttons so it didn't matter, now there are one on each side, as if it was meant to be like this =)

buzzing Dove Nourishing Oil

I got a package from Buzzador again, I was thrilled! And even more so because there was Dove products, you do remember me buzzing the Dove Intense Express last year ( link here ) and loving it. I've actually used it ever since.

And that is probably why I've had a hard time with the Nourishing Oil concept. My hair isn't as weary any more, and this is not as compatible with my hair obviously. And it makes it kind of hard for me to buzz this product, because I am sure it's great, I just can't say it from experience, because it doesn't make my hair feel great.

If you have a dry, frizzy hair I think this is something you really should try. I have a damaged but otherwise almost "fatty" hair, so the oil isn't really my best friend. I've got a lot of good response from the people who've received samples, and that's great!

For me, unfortunately, this is not the right product. But all I can say is try it! None of Dove's products is a bad buy, and when you find your perfect product, you'll never wanna use another again =)

paying my absense in pictures

Someone who shall remain un-named took a dive at the dresser in the bedroom a few weeks ago, thus sporting a cup sized bump in his forehead in the picture...

When one throws toys, mommy and daddy puts them away. This time pup was faster and directly concluded the car "Go-one" and the turned around to watch the TV. He were a bit annoyed at his parents who laughed themselves to tears behind him...

Having a dinner at "Havtorn", a fairly new local restaurant with a great kids corner in full view from the dinner tables. Biggest problem is getting the kids to leave it to come eat =) Here is pup and his cousin A playing with the train track.

Last Saturday was kids-day at the local mall. We took the pram for two reasons:
1) pup likes driving it
2) when pup does not like anything anymore, he is 35 pounds of kicking, fighting toddler...

There was a jumping castle. Pup was a bit subdued and shyly curious at first...

But soon he was in the middle bouncing as wild as any other kid. There were more pictures, but there all the other kids faces show, so I won't post them.

Pup in the folklore costume his grandparents got him when they went to Grand Canaria last year. The occasion of wearing it being his grandmothers birthday.

 Later that night pup started burning with fever and Sunday was spent cuddled up in someones arms.

Today he was fine again, and obviously had sought out every pacifier (including the ones from the delivery ward that I had saved) and just before I got the camera he had them all in his mouth at the same time. So, he is back to his usual mischief =)

And speaking of folklore... This is our native costume, or, one of many. My county (we have a different structure than UK/US but I try to get it right) have a few variations, and all the 16 county's have their own coloration (some have 2 different color settings) and then there are strict guidelines as to what model of shirt, collar, embroideries, apron, pleading of skirt (if any), socks/stockings, model of vest, ball-tassels, shoulder cloth or not, and the headpiece is to be embroided (mine is, but it doesn't show)

I love our folklore outfits, I find them very beautiful, and love our "self ruling day" (our autonomous society's independence day) because then there will be a parade of flags, and the bearers wearing these clothes.
