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 […]

Always bring a camera and a notebook with you when you travel, whether it’s in your own city – or to far away places. Document what you see and experience to remember it all but also to continue your adventure once you’r back home. Let’s explore the world!
Opening Up to Inspiration
I don’t like to pack, because it makes me antsy. I start thinking about all the things I haven’t finished yet, and that I now will have to prospone. No matter how many fun and exciting reasons I had for wanting to go traveling, I get antsy when it’s time to pack. All I really […]
Video where I’m romanticizing Dalarna, Sweden
This week I’m taking a course to play with free form embroidery. But last summer, we took a road trip to the Swedish area Dalarna to do some touristing in our own country. The real reason was an embroidery exhibition called Traces of Life, which you can also see in this clip. But mostly I […]
Destination Gotland – let’s go explore!
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. Edward Steichen Two days after sending out all the postcard swap-addresses via e-mail, I took […]
Artist Date at Hornsgatspuckeln
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust As the self-proclaimed blogging ambassador of Stockholm, Sweden, today I’m bringing you on one of my Artist Dates at Hornsgatspuckeln. You know Artist dates, right? It’s a visit to somewhere that inspires you, rejuvenates you, and makes […]
Stockholm from the Waterfront
Asking ourselves, Where am I right now? gives us a chance to step outside the internal dialogue for a moment of peace. Look around you, take a deep breath and notice what you see, hear and feel. Present moment awareness is the point of power and choice. It frees us from our compulsive thoughts. Laura […]
A Postcard from Venice
If you follow me on instagram or flickr you might have noticed that this week I spent a few days in Venice, Italy. And it was beyond word marvelous! It’s been a few years since I was abroad last on a “real trip” like this, and I have longed to go somewhere, anywhere for quite […]
Reasons to make a Travel Photo Book
I love making photo books, and travel photo books are extra fun to make because you’ve got a limited amount of photos you can include (though of course I take a gazillion photos when I travel)… Since my abroad traveling have been limited in the past years, I take pleasure in short trips in Scandinavia […]
Going to the Ocean
If you follow me on instagram you might have noticed I traveled by boat over the long weekend, just like I did last year. I visited the Swedish island Gotland again, to craft, embroider, eat, talk and laugh among friends. I mostly used by big camera, and took lots and lots of new favorite photos […]
Eye Candy: Stones in Gotland
I was in Gotland in May this year, but I’m still going through the photos from that trip. Here are a few views, because stones are beautiful. And water. And views. Yes, all of it, everywhere you look! Related PostsEye Candy: More Slow Art Scraps by someone else Thrifted doilies white again
The ringwall in Visby
Visby is the capital of the island Gotland. It’s my favorite Swedish island, because the landscape is so beautiful and special. Visby is a super cute little town surrounded by a ringwall (ringmur in Swedish). I’ve been on the island for a few days, on a craft adventure with some friends. It’s been the best […]
List Prompt: Places I Dream of visiting
It’s time for the third list prompt in the List Journal (intro here), and this time we’re focusing on something I haven’t done much of lately; traveling. I’ve been doing a bit of work related travel around Sweden, but not the holiday resort adventure kind of traveling that one dream of. Not in a few […]
