I like to dabble in a little of this, and a little of that. And I collect amazeballz ideas. The first linked idea, with cubies, reminds me of a project I did (in 2006!) with cubes in wood. Here’s five ideas to check out: Collage Cubies Project Collage Cubies are easy to make with few […]

A Fun Craft-a-Doodle Challenge for kids
During studio time (a now sought after thing) that includes crafts, creative exploration and lunch, we doodled for quite a while. We were really inspired by the book Craft-a-doodle that I reviewed yesterday. We (two grown ups and two kids aged 5 and 12) had a great time. For the first exercise I read them […]
Craft-a-Doodle Book Review
A few months back I got an advance copy of Jenny Doh’s new book Craft-a-Doodle, because I am one of the 18 contributing artists! I am happy to be a small part of this pretty book, because I really like it! So even though I am a bit biased*, I wanted to come back to […]
Peek into my Personalized DIY Calendar
This is my Personalized DIY Calendar. A calendar, like your life, is a constant work in progress. It will never be “finished” since there will “always” be new days next week and more things to do, list to write, plans to come up with – and goals to achieve. And that is a good thing! […]
Sparkling Self Love
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Anne Frank This weekend I bought myself pink tulips. An act of self love, and something I want to do more often. Fresh flowers on the table makes me happy. As happy as fresh sheets on the bed. […]
Before and After Art Journal Elk Page
When binding an Art Journal I use a lot of different papers. Like I said, I love to mix and match! For example I sometimes use pages from my altered books! You tear out pages to make room for collage and paint, but those pages can be recycled too! This spread in my Kawaii Journal […]
DIY Calendar | Cream Colored Pages
I’m a wee bit calendar obsessed right now, because it’s January and a whole glorious year is ahead of us! I thought I’d share a bit about what kind of paper I’m using in these calendar ring binders I made: I replaced the first ring binder that I’ve used for several years now with a […]
DIY Calendar Idea | Make Your Own Index Tabs
Not happy with the current selection of tabs on the market? Make your own! Customize them in your own style and organize your calendar in a way that suits you best! I love index tabs, especially the ones I’ve made myself! I use tabs all the time, in notebooks as I fill them and in […]
Outside the box Cross Stitching
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man [and woman]. George Bernard Shaw My favorite embroidery style is a loose, free form, anything-goes style. I like to bend the rules, or break up with them. […]
Video | Creativity on Instagram
I’m @iHannas on instagram, are you following me on instagram yet? One of the things I really enjoyed in 2013 was posting photos to my instagram account. Right now I’ve been in a rut, but probably it is because it is so dark around (a.k.a the Swedish Winter months) these parts right now, so taking […]

New Year Inspiration | Word Collage Prompt
My current diary will be full in just a few pages. I thought I’d pick a new one for January, but there are still a few white pages left in this one that I want to fill. I mostly write inside these, but I also enjoy creating what I call diary collages. They are not […]
