Last year my mom (who loves sewing and quilting) bought the book Making Luna Lapin by Sarah Peel, and we got sewing as soon as it arrived. We couldn’t wait because everything in it is so cuuuute. It’s about this super sweet little girl rabbit called Luna Lapin (lapin is French for rabbit) and her […]

Thrifted Books to Cut Up
Sorry to say that my site was down a couple of hours before I could ask support to fix it, due to a server move. I got contacted by a few of you saying you couldn’t reach this or that, but now I think it is alright again. I hope that everything is working as […]
How to become an artist and other books on creativ...
It’s almost December, and since books are always high up on my own wish list (and especially in December) I thought I’d produce another list. It might give you some ideas on what to put on your own wish list this Christmas – if you’re in need of some serious creative inspiration! And who isn’t […]
Collage Time: Cover of my Book Notes Notebook + vi...
I think it’s about developing a system to create. Once the creative habit is there, the possibilities are endless. Crystal Moody I have always been a voracious reader, devouring books like candy. I probably read a lot more in my younger years, but still I would feel really strange if I didn’t have a novel […]
I’d rather be reading: The Delights and Dilemmas o
I define myself as a book lover, I can’t imagine life without a book by my side. I don’t just read how to-books about art and crafts (the kind that I mostly review here on my blog) but also novels, biographies, fantasy, YA, classics, fact books, kid’s lit, and more. I use books as entertainment […]

Book Wish List starts with Encyclopedia of Rainbow...
What’s on your wish list this year? Right now I wouldn’t mind getting a pile of yummy books, in fact I have a long list of books I’m asking Santa for. Or anyone kind and generous enough to send me books. I feel like I could need some inspiration right now, I think it’s because […]
Creativity Book Wish List | Draw Every Day, Draw E...
I wish had the energy to draw every day, or paint… And I wish I had time to read more. Actually, I wish I could buy and read all the books. I really do, at least the ones on the kind of creativity and art that I’m into at the moment. It’s one of my […]
Inspirational Craft Books from Sweden with Love
Sweden has a big international music industry for such a small country, so it is probably well known how creative swedes are out there “in the world”. But did you know we also produce a ton of awesome books, most prominently there has been a lot of crime fiction translated (especially in Germany) in the […]
Quilt Improv by Lucie Summers – a book review
I don’t like following patterns even though I sometimes do, to learn something new. I prefer to freestyle my projects. I also love inspiration as you might already know. I collect inspiration in just about any form, books included. So when I spotted the title Quilt Improv on Amazon I knew it would be a […]
A really good novel
Do you have time to read books? Probably not, but the question is: do you take time to read books? I think you should. Because reading is a lovely pastime any time of the year, and perfect for summer, weather you are on vacation or just sit outside for a while during the weekend. I […]
