The book café we always wanted to have
Where and how to have a excellent café experience. It is a relatively new café in my old hometown Umeå, with a hand carved wood sign above the door. It is called Café Pilgatan as it is situated on the road with the same name. It’s one of those dream coffee shops that we’ve talked […]
Lemonade or as we say blandsaft
Mom has made red lemonade from a mix of red berries. We call it blandsaft, which means mixed fruit lemonade. I’ve designed the labels in Adobe InDesign and printed them on sticker paper that we cut out. Summer is the time to fill up the well for winter, both in the food cellar and the […]

I love a bit of craziness around the neck
Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. James Bryant Conant When I was visiting the city library I had a very nice time in the craft section. Perfectly placed in front of the knitting books I found a little stool that I sat on as I was browsing through […]
Art Quilt | Summer Playtime
I’ve been experimenting some with fabric and paint and sewing this summer. Just playing a bit, having fun and not expecting much of an outcome because I didn’t know what I was doing. When you have no expectations on your creation if often surprises you. Both my experiments turned out really nice and I’m pretty […]
