It’s time for some quilty pleasure, sewing for myself. It’s especially “bad” because I was supposed to create handmade gifts “for everyone” and instead I made something for myself… But really, is it selfish when it’s about self-preservation? Making is my crutch, when I can find it… It’s not selfish, but selfless to be first, […]

Vlogmas & DIY Christmas Wreath
It’s almost Christmas and I just wanted to pop in here to wish you all a very Merry Christmas holiday, if you celebrate it, and if not, a lovely couple of days free from work hopefully. I had lots of grand plans for this month, to decorate at t home and to make several Christmas […]
December Daily Flip-through | Traveler’s Notebook
Dear all, I hope that those who celebrate had a nice Christmas holiday? And that everyone else survived the madness. I feel a bit silly coming in with this post today, after Christmas. It was meant to go out on the 22nd, as it contains my Christmas journal video number three, and it was filmed […]
Christmas Journal with Me
Christmas journal with me, will you? Just remember that journaling can be what ever you want it to be. In previous Christmas Journals, both spiral bound, I have mostly glued in found imagery when I made them and stopped using them in December. Inspiration, prints and cards with a holiday theme. In the end I […]
Create your Own Christmas Cards
It’s time to create Christmas cards. Yee-haa, that time of year again – am I right? There are some really cute ones to buy these days, especially if you order from Etsy, but who planned for this in say, October? Raise your hand if you did? I’m a last-minute kind of gal, so I find […]
Crafting a Christmas Tree from Felt
I always say that I’m not a Christmas Crafting Person, but of course, I think a little of it is fine once December comes around – and can be rather jolly. Wanna join me and make a small Christmas Tree from felt? I will just never be the Super Craft Blogger to share a new […]
Christmas Paper Crafting
We got copies of a Swedish craft book called Julpynt, Christmas Crafting for fold, cut and paste nerds like you and me. And it’s filled with pretty patterned papers. My favorites from this book are the garland stripes with owls, penguins and squirrels in winter wear like knitted scarfs and hats (illustrated by Caroline Johansson)… […]
Starting a December Journal
We are well into the last month of the year, December. In addition to gingerbread baking and window decorating I think you should consider making yourself a December Journal. It really brightens the mood, and makes the days a bit more merry. I’ll show you a few ideas from my December Journal in this and […]
Collecting Christmas Papers
Right now my desk is filled with paper projects. It’s the end of the year feelings, where I go through boxes of stuff and decide on what I want to work on, finish, or leave behind. It’s a way of clearing the plate for new ideas coming January I guess. In the process, I’ve found […]
Bring out the Glitter and Glue
A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want.Madonna [from her book “Sex”] It’s December and so much I want to write about before the year ends. Let’s jump in again today, with a bit of crafting! It’s been a while since I did any […]
Make a Snowflake
Invite your inner child out for a bit of winter crafting this week! When snow won’t come to you, you have to make your own snow! That’s the new iHanna saying around here. Or, even better put; when snow flakes out on you, you’d better create some snowflakes on your own! And you may quote […]
Christmas Feeling Art Journaling
I didn’t feel like making another December Journal this year, so I didn’t plan for one. But this week, with just a few days left before Christmas Eve (we celebrate on December 24th here in Sweden) I have felt those December Feelings once again. I’m such a late bloomer, in many ways, but that’s okay […]
