Hej mina vänner! Idag har besöksantalet här på Minette & Minou passerat 10 000!!!!
Fantastiskt! För att fira det kommer jag inom kort annonsera en tävling! Priset blir ett pysselpaket med lite av varje. Mer om det inom kort alltså. Idag har jag ägnat mig åt lika delar aktivitet och vila. Har tömt min hall och skruvat ner hyllor med mera för att imorgon måla över sveriges fulaste orangebruna tapet med en dov och vacker grågrön färg. Ska bli så skönt att bli av med den randiga styggelsen och istället få en fräsch enfärgad yta att jobba med. Målade min lilla kökshall i samma gröna nyans för en tid sedan och tycker jättemycket om den. Till den hallen fick jag dessutom klar en bänk/golvhylla igår med ett sista vitt färglager. Ska sy en dyna till den i veckan och få upp lite krokar m.m. Den hallen hade tidigare en kommunalgrå "stänk-tapet" som var lika skön att bli av med som den orangebruna kommer bli. Hoppas lite ny färg och form ska bjuda in nya spännande möjligheter och energier i mitt liv. Det behöver jag.
Nu ska jag visa lite fint som jag hittade på dagens nätsurf.
Hello friends! Today the counter passed 10 000 visitors here on Minette & Minou!!! Amazing! Yay! To celebrate I will announce a little contest in a day or two. The prize will be a package of some various craft supplies. More on that shortly! Today has been a day of both rest and activity. Have emptied out one of my hallways, removing shelves and more, preparing to paint over its´ horrible orange/brown wallpaper tomorrow with a lovely grey/green color. Can´t wait to get rid of that striped abomination. Used the same green paint in my kitchen hallway and love it. That hallway got a new shelf/seating area yesterday. Stood outside in the sunshine painting it white. Will sew a cushion for it this coming week as well as put up some hooks and other things. It had a horrible spotted grey wallpaper before, that I was every bit as happy to be rid of as I will be when it comes to the orange/brown one.
I hope some new colors and shapes will invite some new and exciting opportunities and energies into my life. I need it! Now let´s move on to some pretty things I came across on todays browse:
First some lovely pillows from Finnish shop Syko:
Felted lovelies from Bossy´s Feltworks:
Dragons & Beasties make some supercute dragons from polymer clay! As a Feng Shui advocate I love dragons. They are good luck charms in all forms:
Have the best Sunday night and a great start of a new week. Watch out for the upcoming contest! Hugs, Lina

Tisdag/Tuesday
Tisdag och solen skiner! Härligt! Det var länge sedan sist! Hoppas all snö försvinner nu och att ingen ny kommer. Vilken vinter det har varit. Har just fått en elräkning som gav mig en total chock! Över 18 tusen!!!! är det möjligt? För en månad? Panik! Blir tvungen att låna till den av mina föräldrar. Inte så kul när man ska föreställa vuxen. Är ju ändå tacksam att jag har någon att be om hjälp. Vi är nog många som går på knäna av elkostnaderna denna vinter. Nog elände! Här kommer lite fint att inspireras av.
Tuesday and the sun is shinig! Wow! It´s been a long time! Hope all the snow goes away and that no new flakes will fall. What a winter we´ve had! Just got an electricity bill that totally floored me! Over 18 thousand (kronor, about $3000)!!!
Is that possible? For one month? Panic! Will have to ask my parents for a loan. Not so great when you are supposed to be all grown up. Then again, I´m grateful I have someone to ask for help. I´m sure many of us are buckled over by the electricity bills this winter. Enough with the misery! Here is some inspiration:
Lovely Spring Garden magnets and more from UK based Kitzie G:
Gorgeous embellishments from Australian shop Scrapping Art:
Pretty little wooden birds from Serina´s Custom shop:
Jewellery from Sixty Six Hearts:
Very nice stuff for the dolls in our lives at Sassy Grace Boutique:

Nystart/New Beginnings
Nystart! Bloggen har fått design och blir hädanefter tvåspråkig då en del utländska läsare och följare tillkommit. Jätteskoj! Länge sen sista inlägget, men nu tar jag nya tag med ny inspiration och energi. Vintern har varit och är fortfarande låååång! Snöar idag igen! Trist och väldigt, väldigt uttjatat! Kan det här vädret nu, liksom. För att pigga upp både mig själv och er andra ska jag visa lite blandat som fångat mitt intresse på sista tiden. Det blir en hel del grejer så häng med!
New beginnings! I´ve given the blog a new design and from now on it will be bilingual since several new followers/readers from other countries have found their way here. Wonderful! You are very welcome! It´s been a while since my last posting, but now I´m back on track with newfound inspiration and energy. The winter has been and still is loooooong! It´s snowing again today. So dissapointing. Enough already! Haven´t we had enough of this weather? To cheer myself, and everyone else, up I will share a mixture of stuff that have caught my eye lately. Plenty of stuff, so come along!
Pretty pillowcases from Mirthquake:
A corset for an apple? But of course! From Woolicious:
Supercuties from Maids In A Row:
Huggabunnies from Manic Muffin Totes:
Lovely knitting patterns are available from Handmade Awards:
Gorgeous earrings from Ukraine based Beautyspot:
Clay houses from ARTISANIE Europe:
Fabric bin organizers from Hoganfe:
Have a lovely Friday night!
Hugs, Lina
