For one of the last pages in my Summer Junk Journal I had a blank watercolor paper to fill, so I decided to film the process of me filling it with this fun, easy to create scalopped pattern in rows. I filmed my process and talked a lot – so… Related PostsChristmas Journaling in a […]

Book-review | Kaffe Fassett in the Studio: Behind ...
If you are a fan of colorful textiles and patterns then I am sure you know about the designer Kaffe Fassett already?

Fill a tiny journal last prompt: Polka Dots
I am a sucker for polka dots as a decorative pattern. I just love how they look on all things and clothes, on my table as well as on art journal pages and collages I make – or even as embroidery. In our project Fill a tiny journal project this spring it is the last prompt […]
Sewing with pencil patterned fabric
Hi friends, let’s sew something shall we? I bought a beautiful pencil patterned fabric a few years ago “for mom”, but secretly wanting it for myself. Just look at it: those pens and pencils are yummy! Yellow, green, orange, pink and turquoise pens with a light gray background. Gorgeous pattern, right? I love it so […]
Heart Collage Free Desktop Background

Art Journal Peek | Winter is Coming
The title Winter is coming is well known if you too are hooked on TV series that never end. It might be misleading here, but I’m staying indoors a lot watching GoT as my brother calls it and doing embroidery. Misleading perhaps, but at least it’s very cold around here, and white. Winter is already […]
Can new washi tape make you Happy?
True confession time: I balance between knowing that you can’t buy happiness, and then doing it anyway at times. Yes, spending money on “things” can make a girls mood lift, just like doodling can. Some shop for clothes or shoes, or buy new towels in matching colors even though they already have enough of them… […]
A Book about Designing Patterns by Lotta Kühlhorn
One of my favorite book designers in Sweden is called Lotta Kühlhorn. A couple of years ago she made hew own book (Designing Patterns by Lotta Kühlhorn) about her process in making repeating patterns and of course it was on my wish list ASAP! It’s now also available in English, so I thought a review […]
Book review | Zen doodle – tons of tangles
A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle. I have been wanting to look at a book about black and white doodles for a long time, but […]
Book of Patterns
The desire to do something because you find it deeply satisfying and personally challenging inspires the highest levels of creativity, whether it’s in the arts, sciences, or business. Teresa Amabile One of the themes in my current Art Journals are patterns. The past two years I’ve, without consciously thinking about it, created a lot of […]
Inspiration | Sewing Ideas & Strawberries
If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader. Dolly Parton I think summer is perfect for sewing projects. Don’t you agree? I want to sew skirts, quilts, softies and tiny broaches that looks like flowers. I want to […]
Patterns doodles at the Office
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. Plato Instead of going into a meeting at work, only equipped with a ball point pen and a notepad, lately I’ve been bringing a black marker with me too. Not for note taking, but for doodles. I, […]
