All text written in Swedish will be italic.

All text skriven på svenska får helt enkelt var kursiv, för enkelhetens skull.

Ok. So now I have been testing writing in english for some time. I’ve been doing this for two reasons. Firstly because I find it as a good way to practice my skills in the language. I really need to conquer a fear I have when it comes to expressing myself in english. I simply haven’t done it because I don’t think I’m good enough. But I have to test my wings, otherwise I woun’t develop.

Second is because I can reach more readers by switching language. Many swedes are really good at reading english so I don’t think I will lose any, or at least to many, swedish readers by switching to English. Also very few people know swedish so now the blog becomes more accessible. But then there are swedes that really prefer to not read english texts as they experience it might be hard to understand, when they’re not good enough in the language.

But I really want my readers opinion. Which language do You rather see me write in?

Alltså. Jag har nu testat att skriva på engelska ett tag. Detta av två anledningar. För det första för att jag vill övertyga mig själv om att jag kan nämnda språk bättre än vad jag själv tror, men också för att jag förstås kan bli bättre. För det andra så skriver jag nu på engelska för att fler ska kunna läsa bloggen. Det blir så oerhört mer spännande att få röra sig i den internationella bloggosfären. MEN. Jag är ändå nyfiken. Vilket språk föredrar ni att läsa min blogg på?

Since Instagram became available on Android I’ve become very fond of the application. I play with it very, perhaps too, often. I really like the format of square pictures. It works so good for the phone. Especially for publishing with a related text attached. I also like that it’s so easy to make good pictures and that the pictures become standardized and easy to handle. Both beautiful and practical. So there will be more Instagram pictures on this blog.

They say that the camera have the ability to catch ones soul. I think it did catch mine at this time.

This weekend I got the opportunity to borrow a Nikon D200. A system camera. The reason for this is that since I started following fashion blogs I’ve become more and more interested in writing my own thoughts on style and fashion. I especially like the french fashion blogger Pandora, the bohemian blogger Bohemian Musings, the photo blogger From me to You, and the very inspirational blog Earth Age. I do follow a lot of other blogs too, but mostly it’s about people having interesting style. Now I want to make my contribution to the blogosphere! For that I feel that I need to learn how to take good photographs. I should begin by saying that I know nothing about photography. The only knowledge I have is what I brought with me from when I studied graphics in high school. So this will be an interesting challenge.

These are my first pictures. So far so good. Of course, had to run them trough both photoshop and instagram before posting them on the blog.

This morning, when I woke up, I saw my cat, Vincent, sitting in the sunlight against the white wall. She was so beautiful that I immediately had to get up and take photographs of her.

Then I played a little with Instagram.

I gave the guy a smile and then decided to look in an another direction the rest of the trip, laughing silently.

BUT:

Some months ago I came up with an idea of a concept for a library conference. I told a friend about my idea and he liked it. We both got very excited and even brought up the question to the student union (they seemed positive). Short afterwards I began to read a new course: Project managing (which was a bit annoying for me personally to read as I already have a degree on that subject. Well well). In this course, however, we were assigned with a task to create a concept for a library project. We could choose whatever we liked. What a delightful opportunity! So me and my study buddies started to build a concept for a library conference. The concept we built where similar to my idea, allthough not the same, but it was a good chance to test my theory. I learned a lot about conference making during that time.

Maybe Bobcatsss 2014 might actually be a good experience for me afterall. If I do choose to participate I might actually come closer to make reality of my idea one day. Just need some more experience.

This morning I found my bobby pin deer crushed. I suspect the cats. Usually, during night, they turn our home upside down. Tipping things over, tearing down books from the shelves, clawing everywhere – even moving furniture. This night they focused on my little amateur engineering project. Luckily enough it’s easy to rebuild.

When studying results in other things than what it is supposed to: A deer I made using bobby pins.

EDIT: Somehow I managed to delete the picture before publishing. Now the picture us added.
