Swedish spring is amazing. It starts somewhere in March if we’re lucky and goes all the way until the end of May if summer isn’t early… Every week there are some new spring flowers popping up through the ground, making me smile.

Idea: Create a Video Journal with One Second a day
The app One Second Everyday is a free app that you download to your smart phone and use to document your days in video format. Since all you’ve got to do is film one second it isn’t’ too hard to get started and remember to press record. At the end of the month (or year) […]
Journal with me: Documenting Animal Crossing in my...
Back in March of this year I started playing a game that is called Animal Crossing: New Leaf on a Nintendo 3DS console that is owned by my brother. My brother is over that game since many years, because it came out in 2013. But to me it’s all news in many ways, since I […]

Thoughts on Social Media from a bloggers perspective or simply put: My personal social media rant of the year. As a blogger I use social media not as a way of knowing what my friends and family are doing every minute of the day, but as a way to share my own content, inspire others […]
The mess on my desk
What’s on my desk is the crafter’s version of YouTube’s “what’s in my bag” I guess. And all I can say is: my desk is always messy, except maybe when I’m on vacation which hasn’t happened this year of course. But for the curious, who wants to know… here’s a photo of the state of […]
Journal with me: Documenting the Pandemic
I don’t think your journal should only be cute stickers and happy times. It should be as real as you can make it, and that includes darker days as well as fun events, right? Right now it includes documenting and remembering the horrific pandemic we’re in this year, and all the loss the world has […]
Trip documented: Festival of Quilts Vlog
Since we’re not allowed to travel anywhere, I have been diving into past travels via photos and video clips. This month I’ve uploaded the vlogs I filmed two years (!) after the actual Festival of Quilts that I attended in Birmingham, UK, but hey sorry not sorry. I just have the time to do a […]
Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter is a movement, a truth and a statement I will always sign. In fact, it is baffling to me that not everyone can or will or want to do that. That not everyone is raised to understand this truth… I think it’s time we all step up, and state our anti-racism everywhere, […]
Hang Something on the wall
I don’t even remember when or where I bought most of the frames I have in my house, but I know that this pink oval one is a thrifted find. It is made from polystyrene according to the yellowed back-paper… I love this type of frames, but most of them are black. To find a […]
Stay at Home Activity: Fill a Notebook
One of my all-time-favorite things to do at home or elsewhere, is filling notebooks. If you are looking for something to do, together with your kids or on your own, may I suggest this; grab a journal / notebook / random stack of folded papers / old unused calendar / old text book to alter […]
In Pandemic Times: Living in a Creative little Bub...
None of us know what will happen. Don’t spend time worrying about it. Make the most beautiful thing you can. Try to do that every day. That’s it. Laurie Anderson When I sit down to write this blog post the last sun of the day is looking in through my dirty windows, making my little corner […]
A Book just for You my Darling
Happy Leap Day! My new art journal is an altered book again. This one is a little smaller than my previous very big and chunky Cut and Paste Journal. I thrifted this book a few years ago, and until now it has just been sitting in my stash of books to cut up or use […]
