Thursday, November 24th, 2011Sunday is the first in Advent, and it is the half-official “opening-day” of the Christmas-season. This is the day when all the outdoor Christmas-lights are lit in the streets in city-centers. Our local theatre has also made a special marking of the event in our little town for the past at least 20 year. This [...]
The Monster Aunt premiere
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011Today is the premiere of “The Monster Aunt”, a rock-opera written by the music teacher students at HSH. It´s based on a book by Ingelin Røssland. It´s a anti-happy-ending book. Pretty anti-happy throughout, with a young girl spending the summer at her farmer-aunt, while her parents are on holiday trying to figure out weather they [...]
sexy cows!
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011Yes, you read right! Sexy cows. Costumes in the making. We´re having quite a bit of fun with the making of the udders. Using cotton velour with cotton filling, the udders are carefully pieced together, hand-stitched down, and sewn onto the dresses. Oh, yes, some sexy cows in the making here, for sure! The big [...]

image of the day
Sunday, October 9th, 2011A new day, a new pile of pants needing buttons. It´s button-marathon! I´ve been working all day too, and thought for sure I could cross something off my list and get started on some new stuff. I altered and finished a couple of dresses and almost finished a coat. And yet it doesn´t seem so [...]
Any old Saturday… not.
Sunday, October 9th, 2011A very busy day today! Six women and Maja, had a button-sewing-marathon. Most of them parents of the theatre-kids, helping me getting all the buttons in place. If I haven´t counted wrong, there is around 1320 buttons…. now what would I do without these wonderful ladies?! Maja sew all the buttons in a pair of [...]

back in business
Thursday, October 6th, 2011Well back in Haugesund, it´s straight back to business with Amanda and all the costumes. Jet-lagged, but fine, I am working on a big dream of a pink silk taffeta dress. Making the pattern below. My two good helpers, Tanja and Birgitte, who made a whole pile of pants yesterday!
