I have already read more this year than any previous year, mostly thanks to audio books while I do embroidery or other crafts. But since fall is coming on strong, why not ponder what to read next already? It is always fun to look at books newly published, and dream about tea, candle light and […]

Books for paper lovers & collage artists
How to find ephemera, pretty papers and things to cut out I am a sucker for pretty papers, but as a collage artist I often try to find them for free – in the form of packaging and gifted magazines for example. But of course there are also many options for buying patterned papers and […]
Encyclopedia of Inspiration
Encyclopedia of Inspiration is a series of books by Janine Vangool, who is also the creator of the, among artists and crafters much beloved, magazine Uppercase.

Becoming a Barbie Doll Collector

List Prompt: Places I Dream of visiting
It’s time for the third list prompt in the List Journal (intro here), and this time we’re focusing on something I haven’t done much of lately; traveling. I’ve been doing a bit of work related travel around Sweden, but not the holiday resort adventure kind of traveling that one dream of. Not in a few […]
My visual wish-list
I’ve put together a Visual Wish List on Pinterest, trying only to add things that I would really like to own. I notice that there is a lot of pink, as usual, but also quite a few bags. Not sure I need any more owls, but a USB memory stick that looks like an owl […]
