you're maybe thinking that you've seen this incredible box of magic before? i know i have, <a href="http://jardarmama.blogspot.com/2012/01/peacefully-stitching.html?showComment=1327847773311#c7696091844231200411" target="_blank">right here</a>. i just had no idea that i was the lucky friend to receive it. the leaf pattern is made by - well, leaves, plant dyed. this is a repurposed, reused, thrifted, ecologically sane and skillfully decorated treasure box. i so adore it. thank you, mona!<br />

- i got depressed<br />
- i found a new job and was happy<br />
- i started wearing pretty clothes and jewellery<br />
- but am still ill<br />
- so i quit blogging<br />
- quit making dinners<br />
- quit tidying the house<br />
- quit making school lunches<br />
- quit pretty much everything<br />
- but loving<br />
- and marvelling at the brilliant and sad beauty of this world<br />
<br />
- i got a tattoo<br />
- i possibly, and probably, suffer from CFS/ME<br />
- but i will definately get another tattoo<br />
- i just opened a microscopic shop <a href="http://epla.no/shops/huldremose/">here</a>, even though it was way too premature<br />
- and today i opened up my blog again<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We've had mainly rain here so far this summer, resulting in lots and lots of indoor activity, but finally we had a pocket of sunshine. Just enough to enjoy more of all that green stuff out there - before it started to rain again .... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The kittens are now down to six, as the tinyest of them died the next morning. Our daughter sits in front of their 'cage' most of the time, naming them - and naming them again. Deciding who looks like their mother, who might be their father(s) (and oh yes, we believe 'him' to be in the multiple), who's argumentative, who's submissive and who's just sweet. (All of them, of course). Our son is having his yearly vacation (staying with his best friend just outside town for a week), and hasn't seen them yet. He's thrilled, and I suspect we'll stay clear of the usual argument on when he'll come back home this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Not one, not two, three or even five kittens, but EIGHT!!!<br />
On of them were still born, so now we just hope the mother has enough milk for all of them.<br />
And should I mention <i>new homes</i> for all seven....<br />

This is it. A blank page in a notebook. Because <i>I have</i> <i>no positive thoughts for bad moments</i>. I simply sink into the swamps of negativity. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to reading everybody else's cv's today - go ahead - encourage me. I'll be sitting here, notebook in lap, ready to take notes!<br />
<br />
(P.S. See that little piece of yarn on the floor? It's attached to a ball of yarn, which is attached to a sweater I'm knitting for myself. Well, there's a positive thought. Being creative, in some way.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In Norway, as in many other countries, teenagers go through a coming of age ritual to mark the leaving behind of childhood. In the old days, this was a ritual to mark the entrance of adulthood; a 'passage' from childhood to adulthood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That was before James Dean cemented <i>the teenager</i> into our culture forever; a period of time which seem to expand (in both ends) with each new generation. People don't seem to become grown-ups anymore.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The jewish Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the hindu Upanayanam, the christian Confirmation, the japanese Seijin shiki, even the U.S.' Sweet Sixteen; within different cultural contexts, they all mark the same transition. In Norway, there are two options; the christian and the humanist, which both take place the year the teenager in question turns 15. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our soon-to-be 15 year old son chose the humanist ceremony. Once a week for 6 months he met up with other teenagers and a group leader to discuss all kinds of subjects related to ethics, humanism, human rights, alcohol and drugs, immigration and class, sex/abortion/homosexuality etc. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The whole thing culminated in a solemn ceremony, and a family party. Speeches were required. So I took the opportunity to tell my son how lucky he is to be born here, now, and receiving applaud, gifts, and cake, instead of all the other things he might have had to endure were he born in a different culture or at another time. For instance (and yes, some of them are hard to believe, hence the photos - they were all shot during the speech):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to get undressed and cover himself in ash.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to spend several days and nights in a cave, deprived of food, sleep and water.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to be attached to a pole through hooks penetrating his skin, and he didn't have to drink the blood of the male elders of the family. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to cut his private parts, or otherwise receive the power of manhood through means one would be imprisoned for in our culture.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to get tattoos or get tied down in an anthill.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>He didn't have to kill a lion or sleep naked in the snow.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have lost a lot between the blood drinking and the cake. Comfort is not one of them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>ooops! i'd handed her mark ryden's 'the tree show'. some of the images in there are quite disturbing for little people. but she never mentioned any of that, only The Dress.<br />
alright. i didn't have a pattern or an even remotely similar fabric, but that didn't get me off the hook. she dug into my fabric stash and found one of her old sweatshirts, size 6 (repurpose, you know!) 'so there's no problem, mummy!'<br />
<br />

she decided on another fabric that she liked, and i spent the entire day trying to stitch the two pieces together without loosing it. my conclusion is, that as with knitting, a pattern is required. if no pattern, then at least a plan.<br />
<br />

i managed to make it appear like a dress, all in one piece, at least (or, should i say, so far). and she's happy. and i want a pattern for a real 50's dress.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">may is here, and so is my son's big day; the rite of passage, leaving childhood behind. big family party, quite solemn the whole thing - and this mum is trying to wrap her head around unfamiliar things like damask table cloths, silver cutlery, matching napkins, candlelights and so forth. how much i didn't know! and how much i didn't care! and how much i still don't care! no, it's not true that i don't care, i just don't care for common etiquette. but i'm getting the hang of it now, i feel i'm bonding with my inner, conservative, traditionalist soul, and it's actually fun. we're doing it this way because i discovered my great grandparent's wedding table wear, inscriptions and all. i just HAD to use it, it's beautiful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

a couple of crowns, some magic wands, some more snowflake dolls, one more egg baby. i think i'm done now. the market is on sunday, i won't even get to see it because i'll be on the train for the big city by then. 10 days away from home, and i really do not want to go - my head is filled with ideas for x-mas! i have to make sure i write them down before i go. i love it when my head and body is bursting with creative energy - gotta savour it, some times there's drought.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015463992731021365.post-82251371835583107392010-11-18T04:39:00.000-08:002011-05-30T09:09:18.863-07:00that time of the yearwhen your kids are attending a waldorf school, there's one time of year that gets especially crafty - and busy! i'm talking about the x-mas fair, a long standing waldorf tradition. there's a lot of meetings, planning, and making going on. fifteen years ago, i didn't particularly like the waldorf seasonal dolls and all that goes with it; they were simply too cute. today i'm a born again waldorf toy fan, and i love making them. these days, i'm up to my neck in half finnished projects for the fair. some are getting close to finnished, though:<br />

... it's starting to look like a sweater!<br />
My first big knitting project ever, and my first knitting-from-an-english-pattern project ever. (Ok, I admit it, I've had some help translating it. Takk <a href="http://www.lises.net/blogg/">Lise</a>!)<br />
Luckily, I don't have to knit this in secrecy; I'm knitting it right under his nose. He wouldn't notice if it had his name written across the chest.<br />
It's going so fast, that even if it turns out too small (which I am afraid it will), I will have time to knit a bigger one in time. Yay! Compulsive works. Another bad news story now and I'll have one ready for my son by x-mas too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com12
