The most inspiring place: my home
I had to stop and take a photo… The sun came through the window and made me smile. The H on top of my TV creates another H on the wall when the sunshine peeks in. I so love that. I am in love with my home! I love so many things about it. My […]
Kurbits – painting the Dala Horse
I’m continuing our guided tour as part of the Craftalong today. We are at Nusnäs, where the Dala Horse is created. I love the craftsmanship of the woodwork behind these horses, but today’s post will be a bit more colorful. The Dala Horse is traditionally orange, but it comes in a variety of colours these […]

My Knitting Spool
Another white item today, a knitting spool or knitting doll thingie. In Swedish we call it påtdocka. It is such a neat little item, and since I got it I’ve had it in my hand bag’s inner pocket. This way I’ll never be without something to craft / do again! Related PostsOn my Inspiration Board […]
What is on TV tonight
What is on your TV tonight? This is what is on mine: My beautiful white H that was specially made for me by my wood crafting friend Maria Lu. It has been in a craft exhibition at the library for a while, but now it is finally where it belongs, with me in my home. […]

All three cubes are hard wood, collaged with shabby chic rose paper, original vintage handwriting, maps, Chinese newspaper and vintage Swedish magazine. I’ve […]
