It's the end of June allready. Can you belive it? It no longer gets dark here, just a slight dusk... I love June, with it's lushness and all the wild flowers... the promise of long eveings on the porch, tanned skin, bbq's and easy living...</div>

It's been the coldest June in 49 years here in Norway, or so they say. Loads of people are complaining, but really I am just enjoying any week spent without snow. Ha ha... I dont mind wearing sweaters to keep warm. Its still summer to me.</div>

Life at the cottage rolls on, quietly without much change. I am still not working full time due to this bipolar brain of mine. I am struggeling lately with feeling guilty for taking care of my self. Feeling like I should work full time, even if it kills me, like I'm being lazy, or that I'm not trying hard enough. It doesnt help that my family, my boyfriend or my theraphist are telling me that THIS is what I need right now... Time off... </div>

Still...everytime I feel happy, or just blissfully alive one day, I feel that guilt creeping back in. Not allowing me to enjoy the moment for long. If I feel fine today, doesnt that mean I'm well enough to work? Except I know it doesnt. I know that I am allowed to have moments of happiness and joy, which is, lets face it, the only really good thing about bipolarity. Those bursts of sudden happiness... </div>

Even if I have these little moments of happiness and creativity, it wears me out as well. For days now it feels like a herd of cows just stampeded over me. Every mucsle, every bone, hurts. </div>

Well, lets talk about the good stuff again, like creativity... I've had burst lately... illustrating and selling art. I'm even gonna set up a stand in the beginning of August. Which puts alittle pressure on me to get art done! It clears my head when I draw, so I try to do it as much as I can. </div>

I've been inspired by Norwegian mid centuary designs on tableware. Like the cute yellow calf you see in the photo above. My favorite is Figgjo designs. I have always loved Figgjo. All my pastel green tableware is vintage Figgjo from the late 40's and up to the early 60's. I collect a few different patterns now. And I've adorned my wall with some really cute plates.</div>

I think my cottage is slowely becomming more and more scandinavian vintage. More personal, with bursts of other colors than my beloved green :) I should really borrow my sister's camera again and take some real photos.</div>

I'm struggeling a bit these days, trying to fight through a bipolar dip. I'll get my sunshine back soon. I know it... just trying to stay positive though it all. And learning that putting the breaks on when your body tells you "enough" isnt a bad thing to do. Even if it feels like a personal fight lost.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I wanted to show you some of my instagram photos from the cottage, its the only camera available to me at the moment. </div>

There has been some huge changes to my life since I last posted. Pixie had a colt foal, well he is allready turning a year this May. I gave him to my sister for her birthday last year. We named him Faerydae Elf Lord (First from his mothers name, and Elf Lord from a NCIS pun). He's a rascall and we adore him. So much fun seeing him grow up, and hopefully grow alittle taller than his mum. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also found myself a male companion. We've been together for over a year now and he is pretty great (and anoying, but what male isnt? ha ha). He is also a majour reason I don't have as much time to just goof around online anymore, obvioulsy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're planning a trip to Key West and Miami in September, which I am insanly excited about. I havent been to the states in 13 years or so. I'm trilled to be going back over the pond.</div>

Have you beed eShaktied yet? I first discovered this amazing online shop on pinterest. They have the cutest dresses, AND they customize them just for you. Sizes are custom, and you can add length, shorten them, add sleeves... well anything Your heart desires really...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so obvioulsy I had to try it out, just one problem though: they don't ship overseas! So being in Norway issued a bit of a Challenge, but thanks to my US Family in New Jersey we did still get Our dresses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so worried that it wouldnt fit me, as I had done the measurements and sent them in, but no need to worry! It fit like a glove! I LOVE my dress! It has Pockets! It's navy and green! And ever so comfy!!! I will recomend this shop to anyone! And it has left me thinking; why buy frocks anywhere else? Ever?!??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this dress, but added long sleeves to it for a warmer look.... (click photo to og to eShakti site)</div>

I promised you I would post some more fashion post here at Vinnord. I have recently become a lover of reading plus-sized fashion blogs. So many inspiring girls out there! Truly! And they look fantastic too! My favorites at the moment are <a href="http://www.babbleandbloom.com/" target="_blank">babble + bloom</a> and <a href="http://frocksandfroufrou.com/" target="_blank">frocks & frou frou</a>. Their style is fantastic!<br />
<br />
oh and have you read the <a href="http://www.themilitantbaker.com/" target="_blank">Militiant Baker</a>??? You should... any woman should! She rocks your socks off. My promise!<br />
<br />
So I wanted to show you what I wore for entertaining coffee guests on sunday...<br />

Not really... actually I find myself serioulsy happy these days! I catch myself singing at odd times, and I savour the lighter, longer days. I found crocuses in the garden earlier this week! FINALLY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I mean is... I am addicted to blue! Bluberries! Yum! They are my New Comfort Food. Sweet, tasty, FULL of antioxidants and other good Things... Whenever I crave a sweet (which I still do post-OP) I go for blueberries! </div>

American blueberries, as I call these, or rather large berries that are more white on the inside, has become cheap here in Norway. To my everlasting delight!</div>
<div align="center">
Norwegian Wild blueberries are much smaller, much more intens in colour and very VERY expensive once they are in season.</div>

This weekend was a very important one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the weekend of the grading for pony Stallions. All Norwegian bred Stallions have to og though this to be approved for breeding. This year the O-man's Three year old colt Jahrs Flashjack was attending, and I was scared shitless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because this gorgeous Stallion was born on my watch Three years ago. I had to help it into the world, and I was a drama Queen about it too. From then on I loved him With all my heart. And he is, by far, one of the most stunning Welsh sec. D's I have ever seen. And what if he didnt pass?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did by the way, and I cried happy tears when I realized he was granted approval With flying colours! Yepp I did... I cried!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish Pixie can have a date With him one day...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I just like to show you some Pictures I took really...</div>

Look at him, and tell me he is not gorgeous?!?? It was a foggy day which delighted my photographing self. I love photographing in dimmed light like this.</div>

Lets just get one thing out in the open right away:</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I LOVE my CATS :)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
ask anyone who knows me and they will all answer you this: </div>
<div align="center">
Miss Tee in the cottage is just a few cats away from being that crazy cat lady. </div>
<div align="center">
the O-man allready calls me the crazy cat lady. I would pretty much do anything for my little furries. </div>
<div align="center">
And how could you refuse them anything when they're all such huge personalities and cute as a button to boot! Let me present you to Mr. Hokus! (the Girls were not available for photos at the time being. They were having their beauty sleep)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This here is my youngest, Mr. Hokus. A large white male of 1,5 years. Total heartbreaker of course. And gets away with a lot of serious mischief! He is just absolutely full of energy and it drives me insane at times.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the favorites spots is the kitchen window, it looks out on the porch and the front door where he can watch out for visitors. It is in fact a beloved spot for all my cats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Owning cats, or rather, being owned by cats, is a truly brilliant and loving experience. I have been cat-less for short periods of my life, and will not ever go back there. It is a dismal place to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But like I said, having cute furries around the cottage is not all smiles and sunshine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like for example when Hokus decides at 5 am that it is breakfast time, and starts the procedure of waking me up. Which doesnt work all that well at 5 am let me tell you! What does my resourceful boy do then you might ask?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh let me tell you... he goes to work on my bedroom walls! Shredding the wallpaper... and yep, that does it too. I get up! There are several shredded patches of wallpaper in my bedroom now. Alltough I have managed to make him stop by talking to him sternly, my once beautiful bedroom is just a little less presentable now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKU45zvXDU2O-Iz2Ih6HCKiS5QsaLbs8FSnDlIeY7u-uFZ6-TEibT7732Ox60s37DqutqI_Msn3l_0wJwSKdAGyYO1YiSwcNWCga5BxX2xjLJiVoIeurwCMC2mVTGEjynfFcb8S8sNERU/s1600/EVA_2803.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKU45zvXDU2O-Iz2Ih6HCKiS5QsaLbs8FSnDlIeY7u-uFZ6-TEibT7732Ox60s37DqutqI_Msn3l_0wJwSKdAGyYO1YiSwcNWCga5BxX2xjLJiVoIeurwCMC2mVTGEjynfFcb8S8sNERU/s640/EVA_2803.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there is the case of the Muddy paws! No one, I repeat; no one of my other cats manages to get quite as dirty as this wee boy. He is just a master at the art of muddy paws. And he likes to "Paint" on the sofa, the bed or just about any newly washed floor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh and if you ever come over to the cottage wearing a scrunchie for your hair. Do not put it anywhere. Hokus will find it, and he will assume it is his personal play thing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to worry though, if we can't find it anywhere it is sure to turn up in the water bowl the next morning. One morning I got up I found no less than FIVE of these resting at the bottom of the bowl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other things he likes to do for my entertainment (or to simply test my patience) is climbing on top of the tv (I still have one of those massive tv's from the 90's) where he hangs over the screen watching movies along with me. I am actually concidering getting a flat screen for this reason alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then last night he decided licking the hand soap was a good idea. To the O-mans great entertainment. Newsflash: cats doesnt like soap either, and make funny faces when tasting it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or placing both front paws firmly in the waterbowl, kick off with his hind legs and "drive" it around the floor. Water splashing everywhere...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
most of all he just wants to be where I am. No matter where that is: shower - Cooking - or his favorite: changing the bed covers. He even recognizes my car and comes running when I come home from work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing's for certain, life is never ever dull at the cottage!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Confession: I have still not removed my easter/spring decor... I wasnt able to stay much at the cottage during the celebrations. My well went dry, and cottage life is made rather hard without any water. Thank goodness for the outhouse loo. But it's still rather freezing here in Norway, and the experience was very very cold!</div>

And because was able to borrow my sister's bad ass camera... well I have something to show you at long last!</div>

The balls of moss were made by stuffing real moss into these metal balls I found at a flea maket last Autumn. The smart little bunny man was painted by me when I was little. My grandmother, who passed away suddenly in febuary this year, made and painted porcelain figures. Sometimes we gor Our own figures to paint too.</div>

My Avon Bunny! I found this cutie at a fleamarket as well. Complete in his Box, with the candle still intact. The scent was gone (it was supposed to be a scented candle), but I burned it up and replaced with a tea light. I absolutely love him. So cottage cute it's a bit painful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I truly hope your easter was brilliant! Mine was, despite the lack of water!</div>

Am I satisfied? Uhm... some days I am, some days I am not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still curvy, and somewhat overweight... but the diffrence is still striking. I wish I could loose those few extra pounds... but keeping up the diet regime is getting harder and I need to pull myself together if I want to stay like THIS and not gain the weight again...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I can not see myself as a thin woman, I will always be curvy. And I want to be as well... </div>

That dress was a steal, at a thirft shop. I absolutely love it! Perfect pattern and colours! Just enough cuteness and whimsy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now that weather is finally thawing on us, I can pull out the leather biker jacket I bought last summer... I love that jacket, all the details!</div>

Well I do have things I would like to show, but no camera to use... so I will hopefully get something soon...<br />
<br />
But for now, you guys keep emailing me, several times a day in fact, about one big question...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What colour did I use on my dining room chairs?</b></span><br />
<br />
yes... well I have answered this in post several times over the years, but I realize it is hard to find... so my solution is this: Come this weekend I will pull myself together and rightly try to SCAN swatches of the paint, make a page with my colours for you to print, use as you like.<br />
<br />
Seeing as the code is USELESS internationally...<br />
<br />
So hang in there ;) <br />

Well isnt it christmas in july... no wait... january!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for taking my time with the yule post this year, really! But I desperatly needed a better camera to shoot, and had to borrow my sister's fancy one! :) And what a pleasure to photograph it was! Now it's on my wishlist, and will likely never happen :p But maybe she will lend me it once in a while ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So behold, and feast your eyes on Yule at the Vinnord Cottage 2012...</div>

My hallmark "santas of the world" collection. Small, but very well loved. Norway - because thats where I come from :) Germany because thats half my roots! And England, or UK, because part of my heart always lingers there after I lived in Glasgow! I really want a scottish one, and an american one as well. Preferably midwestern as I used to live a little in Nebraska... but they are hard to come by :( The two first were a gift from my Nebraskan family and might just be my favorite santas!</div>

On Dec. 8th I had a few pony-pals over for a pre-christmas dinner. And lots and lots of wine... I wasn't in my best of health the next day... and thats putting it mildly... still, I felt better than last year... I made turkey with all the servings, and I do belive everyone was stuffed at the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my 2nd pony-party and I do hope to make it a pre-christmas tradition...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite part, of course, was decorating the table. I didnt get any pictures of it on the day. So I recreated the centerpiece to show off... you can't blame me can you? :)</div>

I also want to share something else with you. The Vinnord mudroom has been featured in a new online magazine called; My Horse Life.</div>
<div align="center">
Click the photo to go to the magazine (it's in Norwegian, but lots of eye candy for everyone)</div>
<div align="center">
It's all about how once you're addicted to horses, bits of horse sneak into every little bit of your life. How you dress, how you decorate, and how you speak.</div>
<div align="center">
I should know... </div>

Home with the flu today, crapped out on the sofa with a fever and all... Not exactly great... Hope to be better enough for one last day of work tomorrow before I have several days off before christmas... Which I will spend taking MORE pictures of the cottage, and decorate the TREE!!! Can't wait!</div>

My cottage hsa taken on a more british wildwood look, and most of the beachy theme has gone out the window for fall...

<br />
There have been few thrifting treasures this season, so far anyway... and my big projects are at a standstill due to...oh you guessed it...money! :)<br />
<br />
So all I really have to offer right now is a few inspirational photos, that will inspire my library (yeah one of the majour projects here at the Cottage)<br />
<br />
Enjoy... and see you when I have something else to offer :)<br />

Wow... 3 weeks of vacation really doesnt last as long as you would wish... I spent a week in Wales with great people, and had wonderful weather, and made som fun memories. And then I spent 2 weeks at home, with people I love from Germany, and my family. It was great... and now... it's all over. Back to work and all that! Autumn is closing in on us, and I would be lying if I said I didnt love for it to arrive ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if only I didnt have to go back to work that is :s Serioulsy! I didnt get to do half of what I planned on, and now work will get in the way...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my plans for the autumn is still to get the library AND the guestroom started. I realize the library is a majour job, and will have to be done in stages... but the guestroom isnt such a massive amount of work really. I just need to get my finger out of my butt, and into some paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So hopefully my blog will be more interesting again soon. I hope! I also have a few minor project that needs finnishing before they appear here... Time is what is lacking. Always is... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So untill something exciting happens here at Vinnord... have a great late summer everyone! I will be back, when there is something to show ;)</div>

My "sisters" from Germany are spending their summer here i n Norway, working alittle and just visiting. I have three sisters from Germany, all former exchange students that lived with our family. They've become part of the Feldmann family, proving that love is thicker than blood any day! I miss them terribly when they are not "home" with us, and we're lacking one girl this summer to complete the set. But getting all five of us together is a tricky task as we all grow older, have lives and jobs that eat up our time.</div>

After breakfast we went wor a walk, or rather, a wade into the cottage stream. It runs just across the field, and is usually NOT this deep. But we still decided to go exploring the fairytale woods. It is truly magical in there... We all felt alittle like Indiana Jones :)</div>

I had these old garden chairs.... and I was about to throw them away when I had a brilliant idea of making one of them into a garden swing for my large birch tree!!! I put my handy-man-dad on the case, and a few days later I could swing the summer nights away....</div>

Summer has so far kind of rained away for us here in Norway, but I don't complain too much. I am used to these "english" summers anyway. And I LOVE storms... I love sitting out on the porch when the sky goes dark, the wind picks up and you can see the rain travel across the fields to the drum of thunder rolling!</div>

I am finally starting to feel like my self again, comfortable in my own skin. I was always a chubby girl with boobs and thighs and I always will be...</div>

But when the weight started being very unhealthy and dangerous, as well as being a natural stopper to what I wanted to DO... there was time for majour changes.</div>

After years of struggeling to shed them, and nothing working at all. My doctor finally told me I had only one choice left... surgery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I had surgery done in March (a sleeve gastronomy), and since then life has been pretty much great. I feel great. I work out, I eat right, I can do exactly what I want to do, and not worry about my body not being able to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a though choice to call, but one I will never regret. It's still a long way to go though, and I have to remind myself everyday to be GOOD to my body!</div>
