What happened?

My life, that’s what happened. I had so many projects to finish before I started university this fall, and now I’m already three, four weeks into my fallsemester. School takes up alot of time, they expect me to have read and also understand about 2600 pages. Ha! No wonder I can’t find the time to [...]

My first finished pair for the SOS 08! Isn’t my holidayview beautiful?
Can’t blog, must go out in the sun

… for my long awaited holiday, I have some stuff I need to blog.

What makes Lime and Violet spescial in my opinion? The fact that [...]

A little update

I am superworkingwoman.

But, before I go on my forced hiatus, I [...]
