This is a sculpture made by Lisa Larsson in 1958, in the ABC-serie of girls. I found it at Tradera. It was very expensive since Lisa Larsson is a famous and sought after artist. I couldn’t afford it, but I grabbed the picture and will admire it here. I just adore this piece, which doesn’t […]

January quilt project
When mom was here in October she helped me cut squares from some of the fabrics that I’ve been collecting. I noticed I had quite some fabrics in brown shades, so I decided to make a TV-quilt in browns. I really like browns, especially in a combination with other colours like pink and orange. Mom […]
Whazzup man?
How fun to post a question to the blog and getting so many answers! Unexpected and very nice. I had so much fun reading your different answers. Thank you, everyone. The overall reaction to our two chairs was in favor of the red, old, worn one. The black chair is called Confino and is a […]
Which would you choose?
Which of these arm chairs would you choose, and why? I want to know. I’ll write the story about the two chairs another day. And what do you think of my new banner and design?

Yesterday I got some beautiful pink fabrics from my friends who were in India over Christmas. I got a lot of pink silky fabric and a beautiful skirt with gold decorations. Amazing! I don’t know if I’ll ever wear it, but right now it is hanging on the wall in my bedroom! So… cool! This […]

Raspberry and pear hats

When I relax great ideas pop into my brain
When I try to go to sleep at night, especially lately, ideas about what I want to do or write pops up in my brain. When I shut my eyes for three minutes I start to think and it sounds like this; Oh, I could write about that! or I want to try to make […]
Computer time
My names day is early each year. Today I got a parcel from mom who has been in Thailand, a belated names day gift. It was filled with Hello Kitty fun; an orange t-shirt, a cell phone cozy in furry fabric and little trinkets. Plus a very cute Hello Kitty watch. I think it is […]
I’m not Finished with Last Year
I’m not finished with last year, the year of the Dog (according to Chinese counting). When a year ends there is lots of thinking that needs to be made. I need to sit down and think about how the year started, what my expectations were and what has been accomplished during the year. Am I […]
Some stuff from 2006 – photos
I wanted to post some photos from December 2006, to kind of finish that year off here in my blog and then be able to take more photos of crafts during this piggy year. A snow globe I thrifted for my friend Anna Ost. It was only half filled with water when I found it, […]
