Fabulous Fabric Scraps
I’ve been sewing this week, and intend to do a bit more before July ends. Inspired by my own fabric stash, tutorials and inspiration online, the book Quilt Improv and the fabric swap I’m in of course. I opened my plastic boxes of tiny fabric scraps and threads, and started to piece things together randomly […]
Pink is my favorite colour
My postcard in the Millenia Mail Art Project has returned to me: Pink is my favorite colour, that’s why this postcard is so very pink. It sits right above my computer, right now. It has six squares of pink, created by me and five other mixed media artsy girls in a project called the Millennia […]
Artist Trading Card Quick Collages
My friend Madde invited me to a Swedish ATC swap with the theme Colour colour colour. That’s a theme that is hard to resist, right? I used to make a lot of artist trading card collages a few years ago, trading via the internet, but now it’s been a while since I made any at […]
The Millenium Postcards Layer 3
I got a bunch of half finished postcards from Natasha the other day and finally it was my time to add a third “layer” to each postcard before sending them off again. This Swap Idea was introduced to me by Tammy who invited a bunch of bloggers to join the swap. Each of the six […]

Art Journal Card
What is a journal card? you might ask. I had no idea either until I signed up for a quick swap with April Cole. But like the Artist Journal Cards (ATC) the Art Journal Cards are original pieces of art created by an artist (you). My first and so far only Journal Card is the […]
Eye Candy: Decorated Envelope
One single message from a real person in my mail box makes my day. And if its a decorated, rainbow-coloured envelope stuffed with goodies? It feels like a precious gift. Someone took the time to paint, write, doodle, tape, sew and decorate a special envelope full of little gifts – just for me? Amazingly fun […]
Introduction to the List Journal Project + a promp...
Tammy and I did a journal swap a while ago. She made me this awesome little journal with a fabric cover, fold out pages, sewn pages filled with painted papers, scrapbook papers and cute stuff. I sent her a journal I made specially for her, featuring her initials and other bits from my paper stash. […]
Owl Embroidery on Artist Trading Card
Way back when I did this year’s DIY Postcard Swap I also arranged another swap for some very creative Swedish ladies. We exchanged embroidered artist trading cards. I actually set the swap up via a group on FB, and it worked out just fine with about 35 participants from all around Sweden (plus one in […]
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 […]
Embroidered Inchies Cut to Size
The first batch of embroidered inchies was light pink and a slow process. This second batch of pink inches is now complete. I finished these much quicker mostly because I didn’t feel like sewing more french knots. I was feeling like: – Gaah, I want to finish this now! So I did. When they were […]
