The perfect Christmas weather is right outside my door. Snow, cold (but not to cold), glistening christmas decorations and people gift shopping. Some parents are pulling their kids in little plastic sledges while the kids laugh and tell them to go faster.

Easy to say, that I really enjoy being home for Christmas this year. And we finally have snow for Christmas, that stays on the ground. Last time we had this much snow for Christmas, was probably 10 years ago. It always melts away, or only small patches of snow stay on the ground before they melt.

Last night, my sisters, my mom & I, sat up putting a puzzle together while listening to Christmas songs. It couldn't have been more of a perfect Friday night!

It has been an awesome week. And the most effective Saturday ever! I had my last day of school yesterday, that was celebrated with a lunch and The Principal giving out Honoring Awards. And guess what? I GOT ONE! For best Pattern-constructing student. A diploma with the honoring award and a gift certificate at Sweden's version of Barnes&Nobles. I was so happy! Everyone in my class kept congratulating me, and my teachers talked to me for a long while after. I never expected to get an Award, and was really chocked when they called out "Patternconstructor: Jacqueline Usterud". Needless to say - I was ecstatic!

Today I finally booked my flight to Hawaii (and got a haircut, that was seriously needed). I'll leave early morning on January 2nd, and arrive in Honolulu at 8.30pm the same day. YAY!
Good thing I got some serious Christmas gift- and clothing shopping done today, 'cuz I need to start packing... I'm leaving so soon!

Hope you all are well,
Merry Christmas until now.

Peace,
Jacqueline

i found them!

Remember a while back, when I said I wanted to find a pair of stud earrings and a necklace with glasses on? Well. I found them. Oh the joy.

H&M for Men

'
Yes please!

Lo and behold. I know know how to make these:

So I've been trying some constructions and designs this past week and now, after my own tries and a few guiding tips from my 'teacher extraordinare', know how to make these Balmain wonder-shoulder jackets & dresses. And I'm in love. Watch out, I'll be making these for myself in a near future!

Pre-highschool-graduation-party tonight á la BFF Stephanie and her classmates. The theme is "your secret idol", but neither me or Sabine are feeling the theme so we're just gonna go with the party dresscode instead. Sorry Steph..

Party, on a Wednesday :]

I think that my new cropped MC-jacket from H&M will come very well in handy on a night like this.


Peace
