A good handbag for me needs not only to be safe (closable in case of thieves) but sturdy, attractive, fit my style and big enough for the things I want to carry with me every day. The cute ones in stores are often too small for my needs. I don?t want a sports bag or […]

Swedish Cinnamon rolls – a.k.a. kanelbullar
Swedish Cinnamon Rolls are called Kanelbulle in Swedish. This pastry has been my favorite since I was a kid and I make them the same way mom does. I have them fresh from the oven with hot coffee or even better, a cold glass of milk. Nothing beats the ones you make yourself, and bought […]
Nurturing your soul
I’ve been clicking around again today. SO much to see, so much inspiration everywhere that make you become even more creative. Like we need that? Well, some might need an idea or two. I need a new year filled with time! hehe. There is no end to it and you can get totally caught up […]
I love mom’s Craft Totes
Whew, what a long day! I started early this morning with painting and collaging bookmarks and journal pages – while on the bed. Then after a brisk walk through the hood I came home to sit by the computer. Took lots of photos of gray weather and beautiful houses while I was out – I’m […]
Snowstars on bright blue mittens
Dad’s old wool sweater is bright blue. That kind of blue that almost shines in your eyes. Indigo blue, sky blue, wintery cold day blue. And it’s too tiny for dad. But the blue wanted to be recycled, so I did obey. I made a pair of fingergloves for my mother. Her favourite colour is […]
Advent first marks a beginning
Do not dwell on the things of the past or consider events of long ago. Pay attention – I am doing something new! It’s happening right now. Don’t you see it? These words from Isaiah proclaim the central message of Advent and the Christmas season: Be attentive to the new things happening around you; don’t […]
Art Princess
I think everyone has things they fear. I fear a lot of things and fear was what came up in my thoughts when I was writing in this princess hair: This Art Princess has fears too, but she doesn’t like to admit them. She fears failure in word count among other things today. What do […]
Huge Sockmonkey – in new clothes
My second sock-monkey is very huge, made from a red heal sock XXL! She is like a thin baby and I adore her ugly cute look. But she didn’t want to stay naked so I made her some clothes that she was really pleased with – and me too. Plus a matching bag in orange! […]
Seahorse bookmark in felt
I?ve been updating the shop I shop with mom this week, and I still have items to add. There are tons of new pot-holders, some in red yummy fabrics that will look perfect in your kitchen during Christmas! It’s time to order now if you want to be sure to get them before Christmas! Related […]
Being a Princess in the Kingdom of Creativity
I’ve sewn a princess crown out of fabric. I just wanted to. I don’t know where or when I will be wearing it, if ever, but I looove it! It looks great on my head, standing on a shelf or hanging from the crystal chandelier! It’s a piece of fabric art, do I need to […]
Astrid Lindgren 100 years old
I’m Swedish and one of my favorite writers is the world famous Astrid Lindgren. She would’ve become 100 years this November if she were still alive. My friend Maria wrote about it on her blog (no longer online) on the 14th of November and a lot of people did. I didn’t make a post then, […]
Bling bling world
This is a bit of a random post about nothing special. Hope your warmer than I am right now. But wait, before I start writing I’m going to fetch an extra sweater. Wait… I’m back. Last week we had some snow, but it melted away before the weekend came. I drink lots of coffee to […]
