Korttidsmimring

Klokka er halv elleve om kvelden og det er fortsatt 29 varmegrader i stua mi. Dersom noen har vært i tvil er det nå ordentlig sommer i Oslo. Det er 727 bilder siden jeg lasta inn bilder sist. Siden da har det vært en strålende 17. mai, barnedåp for fetterens fin fine sønn, 15 dager interrail med søstra og innvielse av grill i bakgården. I tillegg noen eksamener og en del større jobbprosjekter som ikke har blitt prioritert fotografert. Det har vært en slitsom og frustrerende vår, men som nå har kuliminert i en sommer som tegner veldig veldig bra. Men hei, siden jeg ligger så langt etter med alle bildene kan vi ikke gå rett på sommeren, her kommer mitt 17. mai innlegg! (Dette med å skrive på norsk er også et forsøk på å øke bloggeintensiteten slik at bloggen kan holde følge med resten av livet mitt)

17. mai ble feira i bunad med lunsj hos fine venner på Frogner, før vi vendte tilbake til riktig side av elva for øl og sushi på Asylet og Samurai. Dagens fineste bilder ble tatt på vei til Tøyen. Ane skulle vise hvor fin bunaden var i når fun snurret rundt, og det var fint. Dette endte i bunads-(og dress)-hoppe-bilder i Tøyengata. En veldig fin 17. mai var det!

I'm trying for a period to write the blog in norwegian with an english translation. The hope is that it'll make me blog more. It have been a very busy and stressful spring whit a lot of work, exams and decission making, but now it's summer, and I think it's going to be a great one. Tonight I loaded my photos over to my computer and it has been 727 pictures since the last time I did that. So in order to make the blog come up to date whit my life I have to start a few weeks back. These are the pictures from 17th of may. It's the national holiday in Norway. Me and Ane celebrated the day wearing our "bunad" (national costume). On our way to dinner with Anja, Dylan and some friends we had a jumping contest in the middle of the street.

Speeding

What does a snail say riding on the back of a turtle?

Rush hour

Okay, so neither Sigrid or I have been too active on the blog front lately. Too much to do, I guess. Spring is always very busy at work, and Sigrid have also accomplished to finish some rather heavy classes besides her job, and is now celebrating her achivements, -touring around in Europe.

Our Etsy shop has also suffered a bit under these stressful times, and sales have been a little slow. A lady on one of the Etsy forms said it well the other day; "to be succsessful on Etsy means you have to treat your shop as a business, not as a hobby".

But yeeey! We've been on the frontpage at least three times since last, and that's always very fun! And there's a LOT of beautiful jewelry in boxes just waiting to be photographed and put out for sale.. so drop in every now and then!

Others than that, (other than gluing) I am currently working with the scenography for our studio. Here's a miniature of the old one. Me and one of my co-workers made this one about two months ago, when it was a LOT quieter at work. It's 1:50. Hehe.

Hurray

Today was the national day of Norway. We celebrated. And had beer.

By Japaneese fanatics..

Just saw this sign and thought it was funny.

Hormones on the wall..

I think it's hillarious that my parents haven't removed some of the wall art in their bedroom, which used to be my room from the age of 11-15. Yup. There was hormones. I have always been drawing a lot, and I remember drawing this one. My mom was having a Tupperware party or something in the livingroom, so it was off limits, and I was spending a few hours in my room. I had seen the Bill and Ted movies and Point Break a few times, so I chose to draw Keanu Reeves on the door. I blame it on my 14 years of age..

Easter finds

I spent a couple of days at my parents house during easter. The attic there is amazing. It's full of treasures (-and crap) from the past. These have been dusted off and are currently living with me

A set of fancy dessert bowls from the 70's. My parents got them as a wedding present.

A large Norwegian designed porcelain mug, not sure when it dates from, but it used to belong to my grandmother. The small one, also Norwegian designed porcelain, just came with the house.

A happy mix of old plates, will do nicely as props for photographing jewlery.. maybe.

This one I did'nt bring home with me, it just looks interesting. It belonged to my older brother, and has been dismantled..

Once again my cubbards are full for sure, and I'm happy!
