3 months travel!

Tomorrow I am leaving for the trip around the world! I'll be away for 3 months and I hope it will be a blast. If you want to follow my trip go to the travel blog here www.tellusexperiores.blogspot.com

Instagram 365

I have decided to try a 365 project. I have really wanted to try it before, but it is a big commitment and hard to do when you have a lot of days where you spend the day in bed with migraines. Therefore I have decided to do it on my phone instead, using the app instagram. These are the photos from week one.

Have a lovely weekend!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! 

2012 is here and today I woke up to a good 10 cm of snow and white threes. I have also had a wonderful Christmas with family, friends and fun, snow and cross country skiing, just like it's supposed to be. 

February 1st and my around the world travel is only a month away and things are great!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and that you get a happy new year!

Cheers Synne

P.S. I will admit that I totally failed to blog in December. I got too caught up in making youtube videos and planning christmas projects and this place got totally forgotten. I will not promise that it will not happen again, but I will try to stop by a bit more often in 2012, deal?

Back with some holiday spirit!

I'm finally done with my exam and I finally have time to do things again! Somehow the whole world went to christmas mood while I was studying and the streets are full of christmas lights and decorations. When I checked the calendar to start complaining that it was way before time, it somehow had managed to turn only days before December, and there was no reason to complain. 

nr 1 | nr 2 | nr 3 | nr 4 | nr 5 | nr 6 | 

So instead I have dived into the Christmas spirit and I entertain myself with figuring out pretty ways to wrap presents and decorate the home. It's only two months left until I go traveling around the world and my time will be filled with work during the day and painting, crafting and photography during the evening. I am truly looking forward to not doing homework when I come home and I think this will be a nice couple of months. I will also have more time to this blog and I plan to update it with various christmas ideas and projects along the way. 

What are you looking forward to do until Christmas?

I have a very serious exam coming up so I will be off the internet for some time. 

I'll be back December 1. st with a lot of gift ideas and holiday inspiration, so until then have a super day!

Do it yourself

Lately I've been really into DIY projects. I find so many great tutorials through pintrest and it really gets my creativity going. My latest project has been to crocket this infinity scarf. I have only ever crochet once before, so this was quite a project for me. I went to a yarn store and got some help with choosing yarn and after a lot of googling to understand the directions, I started. I finished it last night and I am super happy. I had to make some changes to the pattern (mine goes only one time around but it's higher) but all in all I am

really pleased. 

I used yarn of merio and alpacka wool in a warm brown, and even though it was a bit expensive, the scarf is super soft and very warm which was what I was aiming for. I will definitively use it a lot this winter! If you want to make your own, the directions are here. This would make an amazing christmas gift!

Photography on a Sunday afternoon # 3

These are some pictures from earlier this autumn when the sunlight was bright and the fields behind our house golden. The last couple of weeks have been grey and foggy. It's been cold and rainy and time for tee and inside activities. Hopefully we'll see some sunlight soon, but until then I have these memories.
