testing out soldering

I walked down to DownTown today, after getting the new clas ohlson catalogue in the mail. There, I bought a soldering iron and the things I needed for soldering. Because I wanted to try out the “making pendants out of microscope slides”-thing. I have made some before, but only with the metal tape. It didn’t turn out very well, but I guess most first tries don’t

And I also tested out a bjork-motif on shrinking plastic. It turned out great, if only I hadn’t messed with it while still hot, hah. But I’ll try again one more time, just maybe not today. Now I know that my newly bought overhead-pens work great on shrinking plastic (the black at least )

And now, for pictures of my (somewhat failed) crafts of today

 

Sunday, walking

Yep, today took a LONG walk. 7,5km, which is about 4,5 miles. I walked for an hour and 45 minutes, and I’m pretty tired now. It was nice though, haven’t walked there in at least a year. But since my legs aren’t that fit, I think I’ll feel it pretty much tomorrow, hah.

Also, yesterday I finally finished my scarf. I had to buy another skein of the thread, and I was just maybe 4 meters short, hah. Renate wanted one for her birthday, because it’s so soft She said it felt almost like her polish rabbit (hermelin) to her neck

So, pictures of the scarf and of where I walked
