Bokrea is a annual happening in Sweden. It’s when all book stores start the big book sale of the year on February 23. I have spent the weekend in fjällen so I couldn’t go until today. But I went to three different book store today, and was tempted to buy about four or five books, […]

The fun of Tutorials
The fun of tutorials. I love tutorials, because they contain information on how to create something – and loads of inspiring images of finished crafts. And online there are quote a few free ones, as you might have noticed. I love that! I love finding good tutorials that are inspiring and that helps me create. […]
Music, fabric and poetry
Do you need a blog subject or theme today, or a new friends? Why not surf over to Tine’s Studio Friday project and check out the new topic of the week and participate along with me and many other bloggers? This Friday the topic makes me think about weddings, because we are asked to post […]
Pointy kitty Sunshine
I’ve made a Pointy Kitty using a free pattern I found online. It’s SO cute, don’t you agree? And as I suspected as soon as I saw this pattern, lots and lots of more cats are being created right now! I can’t wait for Hillary’s softie toy pattern book that will have a few more […]
Where little birds live
Since I bought the bird house / box (mentioned here) I have thought about how to decorate it. I’ve found lots of inspiration, and I know you all like birds to, right? So here is some great bird spotting places:
One million roses
Lots of thrifted roses! I’ve carved a rose stamp in linoleum. I don’t know yet how the stamped image will look, all I know is that I should not use sharp objects. Because my hands looks carved too now… If there had been no bloodshed I would have made a leaf too!
Green Muffins
I’ve added a new categorie to il Bloggo today: Food mode. A good title I thought since I very seldom is in food mode. I mean I love great cooking, visiting restaurants or my eating dad’s food… but to cook? Almost never. I try to avoid it as much as possible, since I never feel […]
Striped sweater goes glove
Recycling felted wool, yes please. From the same felted sweater that I made my mom’s mittens I cut out a new pair of finger gloves for myself. I brought them home with me un-sewed, but now I have hand sewn the parts together. They are a bit funny looking, but they fit me! I love […]
Cold coffee
I am addicted to (cold) coffee. I actually boil the water and add the nescafe, but then I let it follow me around to the sofa, computer, tv and studio corner until it is lagom and then I start to drink it. By the time I finish my flowery mug of coffee (maybe 2 hours […]
A Swedish Must Read Book Series
I’ve opened up the package that was wrapped for me in the store where I bought it (!) and started to use the spiral bound square notebook as my forth art journal! But I thought I needed more treats this week… So I went to the library for the first time in a couple of […]
I know what’s in my heart
I am bad at getting things done in time for birthdays and holidays, things like hand-made gifts and greeting cards that is. I always feel, like the paper and craft person I have become, that I should make something special. Then when I don’t I feel bad about it. But this weekend I sat down […]
Four thing Lists and one dog
I’ve seen this meme everywhere, the four things about me-tag. Surfing by Susan I felt I should do it… and later today I saw that I’ve really been tagged by Tania. So I thought I’d type up a few 4-lists about me. But first a cute dog. Lots of dogs in this blog lately, huh? […]
