I have finally finished this little cute notebook, about as big as my palm, that I call Tiny Scrap Notebook because of its content; lots of little scraps that I wanted to keep somewhere… I later renamed the book “Warm Up Collage Notebook“, because of how I started to use it. I have made little […]

December Daily Art Journal | Covers and Spiral Bin...
Hello again My December Journal, it’s time to make you into something more than loose papers spread out on my desk… And Hello dear reader, you might remember that this themed art journal had a lot of yummy pages even before it became a book. I also finished the book covers (extremely yummy covers if […]
Smart Journal volume 1
I have been using a few favorite images in this journal, the Smart Journal Volume 1. Some images (and pretty papers) float around in boxes and folders for years never to find the right place. But in a way that is not a good thing. I don’t want to be tired of the images before […]
Meet my Smart Journal vol 1
Yay! Today is all about my the prettiness of one of my Art Journals! And I’m calling it a Smart Journal. The name is my own invention but mostly just a wordplay. And you know me, I’m a sucker for playing with words. It’s a Small Square Art Journal = Smart! A finished notebook that […]

I had to make a pink smart journal along with the lush green one. This one is listed for sale in my etsy shop right now. Today I’m showing you a few of my favorite spreads from this journal. Enjoy! Front and back cover is paper patchwork style. Love this cover! Pink is my all […]

When I walk around at flea markets I am really drawn to old book covers. Not that I want to read all those dusty books, but the illustrations are often… telling. They speak of another time, before the internet and blogs and all that… I used to turn these book covers into notebooks, spiral bound […]
Teaching a class on making Sketchbooks
I have dabbled as a teacher many times in my life but only for short periods of time with a curriculum by someone else. This time I taught a one-day-class that I have thought out, planned, presented and set to action all by myself. Or mostly by myself. It wouldn’t have happened if the embroidery […]
It’s all in the little details
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching. Sivananda Oh, I know! You are […]
A day in a market stall
I make notebooks for myself, to sell, and to give to friends. This is what happens when I’m in the making-mood: Spiral bound blank notebooks made from recycled vintage book covers! At the market we attended this summer at Sollerön in Dalarna I put up some of my old notebooks. It’s about two years ago […]
Create a Notebook of Inspirational Quotes
I think it’s a great idea to keep a notebook with your favorite quotations in. I’ve collected quotes that inspire me forever and ever, but just recently dedicated a special notebook for them; a tiny spiral bound one that I made myself. The cover is a rosy wallpaper (recycled) that I just had a very […]
