It's Been a While...

...since I last updated my blog. Many things have happened and probably I will be telling you more later on. Perhaps one reason for ignoring this blog (and only writing "my dog's blog") has been the name of it. It doesn't feel me anymore. As I thought I might have something I could post about I came up with the idea to change it. But still I didn't want to miss the older posts. So Betty Bottom will follow me in the address of this blog.

And yes, there might be some way to start a whole new blog and move the older posts there but I have no time or interest to examine the Blogger at least at the moment. If someone knows an easy way to do it, I would be pleased to hear about it though.

Before I go on showing you some of the crafts I have completed lately I have to tell you a little something of what is going on with my my life at the moment. I started to study full time once again. I am now officially a student of tax law in Tampere university. I had to go through the entrance examinations in the spring and studying for them took all my time. Added to that I worked almost full time in a pet store from February to the end of August. Nowadays I still work there one or two days a week but otherwise the school is taking all my time and power. And it has only been going on for two weeks... But I'm very very pleased and happy that I finally got Tax Law as my main subject.

So here's a couple of cards I have made this summer. The first one is for a wedding couple and the other is a christening card.

Then there's a rather bad photo of my new dress. There's some lace on the hem and it is made of brown polka dot fabric.

I made the dress with this vintage pattern that I ordered from Pink Sepe some years ago. I had to modify the upper part a bit. Or otherwise I should have found a pair of a bullet bra...

Then there's left one photo of the souvenirs I got from my Mr. from England. He went there with the same group as we both did last year. I would have liked to travel too but my school and my student budget prevented it. When he asked me what I wanted to get I only said crowns. I have fallen for different kind of crown-stuff. And that indeed was what I got.

The crown-shaped chocolates tastes delicious! And I loved all the other things, too. Now I have so many crowns that I must be some kind of a Queen.
