There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Edward de Bono I’m back with some thoughts on how to finish a postcard using a sewing machine, and a reminder that this is the […]

Sew Sweet Valentine Cards
Hi sweet one! If you are following me via instagram you know it’s #valentinecraftweek in my life right now. Now that I’m diving into it I get the feeling that I am in the right place, doing the right thing. Maybe Valentine is a commercial holiday that makes us single gals feel extra lonely, sure […]
Paper Patchwork Postcards en masse
My sewing machine loves to come out to play every now and then. I wish we had more time to play together. She doesn’t even mind when I bring out a stash of papers and sew those together, because we agree that paper sewing is one of the best crafts! That is, me and my […]
Wishing you a Day filled with Good Things
Today I wanted to show you one of the pretty extras that I got in the DIY Postcard Swap this year. It is made by my mom, who has been participating in almost all of the swaps I’ve arranged I think. I saw the beginnings of the postcard, because we had a crafternoon together in […]
Pop Art DIY Postcards
I am finally sitting down to post some of the many photos I took while making postcards for the DIY Postcard Swap! Just looking at my messy desk above, filed with half finished postcards a few weeks back, makes me want to jump in and do another swap right away. I think I am loving […]
Journal of Scraps no 1
Yesterday I wrote about the process of making and pricing a hand bound art journal. Now it’s time to view a few of the many many pages in the big Journal of Scraps #1 that I just listed on Etsy. I hope you like them. When looking at these I just feel like filling every […]
Art Journal before & after bunny
We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Pema Chödrön Since I got so many great comments on my last art journal post (about almost “finished” pages) I thought I’d share […]
Art Journal with almost “finished” pages
I love how this journal that I’ve made looks and feels. It is just delicious! Love the cover, the inside so rich with sewn pages, cut up envelopes and folded water colour paper. But I have a hard time creating in it! It’s been waiting for me to open it up for weeks now. The […]
My batch of Sewn together Postcards
I have been so busy visiting everyone’s blog posts about the postcarding joy that I forgot about my own! So far I’ve only shared little hints of my postcard process on the blog, but today I took the time to edit and upload all the scanned postcards I made for the DIY Postcard Swap! I […]
Stamped Cats on Mom’s Postcards
In this year’s postcard swap my mom went into total paper play mode, cutting out paper shapes, gluing stuff down, stamping everything and then also adding decorative patterns with her fancy sewing machine, making her 10 awesome stamped postcards. I forgot to show her the glitter bottles, but maybe that was lucky or the cost […]
Sew it yourself postcards
The ball is in motion again.The DIY Postcard Swap is on again this year and now I remember why I loved starting a swap last year… It’s just awesome to take part of your enthusiasm and eagerness to jump in with this project. Plus it’s very cool for me to see how many people read […]
December Journal in progress
I decided to go ahead and make myself a Christmassy December Journal anyway, even though it was half through December and I really didn’t have the time to do it. Sometimes when there is no time you just have to ignore that and do your thing anyway. Especially if it makes you happy. Sewing papers […]
