Christmas - Hair and outfits
For the 24:th when we celebrate Christmas in Sweden, I wore a selfmade dress.
And loose hair.
My family though that I looked like a queen in my dress. And my oldest nephew was impressed by my dress and wondered where I got it. He was shocked to learn that I made it myself.
The 25th. Some yoga before getting ready to celebrate with the inlaws.
Two French tope braids a flower and a hair bead.
Very colourful!
Hair horns
This is why I made myself horns. I wanted to do hair horns!
Halloween is getting closer and I made myself horns

Medieval fair my dress
I made this dress in 2017. This is what it looked like before I updated it this last week...
This is what it looks like now! I've altered the sleeves, added a ribbon and front lacing. It's as if those things finally made the dress into what it's supposed to look like!

Happy Easter!
In Sweden, easter is when witches are said to fly to Blåkulla. Often with a black cat. (Mine said that they would stay and watch our home this year.) And children of all genders dress up like "påskkärringar". The meaning is pretty much "easter bitches". That's witches in head scarves, skirts/dresses and usually with red cheeks. And then they walk from door to door asking for candy.
In Sweden easter is a lot bigger than Halloween! And we also decorate stuff with feathers and paint eggs.
What Easter traditions do you have in your country?

Trying something...
Trying to get into, how to create historically inspired hairstyles. But without using bobby pins. I refuse to use bobby pins! 🤪
So as an attempt to discover/come up with some techniques (while watching a period drama), I made this with a comb and U-pins.
I'm starting to learn what I can do and will play more with this. This hairstyle was made by pulling back the front pieces and attach them with a comb. Fold up a braid and form a bun around and over the comb. Then I rope braided the lengths of the front pieces and formed two "roses" on each side with U-pins. And tucked the ends under the bun.
Two days of Christmas
Day one.
Day two.
I made a winter skirt
Quite some time ago, I bought a wool mix fabric. I wanted to make a warm skirt.
I wanted it to be comfortable, have pockets, be wide enough to take full steps in and to be able to wear layers of skirts underneath if it's really cold.
Yesterday I finally made it! As usual I didn't use a pattern. But I made sure to measure the size of the pockets so that my phone would fit.
It took me 2,5 hours to make and that includes feeding the cats and ducks.
