I have had one of the best weekends in a long time enjoying friends, visiting my favorite coffee shop, dancing all night and then yesterday I sat in the sun for hours and read the last Harry Potter book. Today I woke with a smile and finished reading it in a couple of hours. It […]

Dreaming about dreaming – in a pink bedroom
I keep looking at this magazine spread over and over again: This is the bedroom I want to sleep in. I’m dreaming about dreaming in this bedroom. The wallpaper is just amazing, don’t you think? This is how I want to live! The only one stopping me from having it is – me! Related PostsList […]
Photos taken with my Nikon camera
My beloved Nikon d50 have been to the camera doctor. It’s now back where it belongs, close where I can reach it all the time. It was expensive to fix it after the screen broke (it fell to the floor), but I’m glad to have it back. I’ve missed using it a lot. It’s when […]
Kawaii means cute in Japanese
I’ve finished today’s Daily Art Card and scanned the cards from the last four days into the computer. Before that I was sitting on the stairs outside sewing together a crocheted duckling and listening to podcasts that I’d downloaded to my pink iPod! Life feels good. Now I’m off to upload these kawaii teddy bear […]

Gluing and collecting in my diary
My visual style is spilling into my diary; my writing book. It’s a good thing, and it excites me. It’s like I can’t believe what I see when I look back a couple of weeks. Did I fill this book like that? Where does this rabbit come from? It’s still mainly my handwriting all over […]
On a Crusade to Carv my Own Stamps
For this months crusade Michelle Ward have been kind enough to send me a small package of printing block material to use when I carv a stamp! Isn’t that girl the best? You just can’t find this stuff here in Sweden, and I have wanted to try carving a stamp from soft printing block material […]
Spending time by the Sewing Machine
I’m working on a TV-sofa quilt in pink inspired by a quilt I saw online. It’s a lot of work but fun. While I’ve been spending time with mom in her sewing room we are both creating a lot of different small projects. I cut out fabric last week for a couple of pillows that […]
Swedish Easter Witches
This is the Easter table I prefer, filled with paint, fabric, glue, feathers and other craft supplies. I bought some wooden sculptures in a plastic bag at a thrift shop last year, thinking I would do something fun with them. I’ve been wanting to sit down and paint and dress them for a while now […]
Weaving on paper
Daily Art Card made on March 20th and named “Weave your way there”. I was inspired by Diana’s great tutorial Handwoven Greeting Card for this one. Big thank you to Sis’ D for the inspiration. I ♥ tutorials! I did this card when watching Antikrundan on television, though some cards this month I’ve made while […]
How to make felted Easter Eggs
My cousin was over for another Craft Night this week. We had so much fun when we did the gingerbread houses that she wanted to challenge me for a bit of Easter Crafting. I haven’t laughed this much for a long time! We did Easter Eggs with wet felting and I snapped some blurry photos […]
Poetry in stitches | Knitted cardigan from the boo...
This is a post about a knitted sweater that took me for ever to finish. It is from the book Dikt i maskor (Poetry in stitches) by Solveig Hisdal. I have only knitted one wearable sweater in my life (back in 2004), so finishing this cardigan and putting it on is a big thing for […]
