Wij trädgårdar 1











I visited Wij gardens in Ockelbo, such an inspiring place!!! Can it be too late going into gardening? The only thing stopping me are the long winters, the snails, the rain, the dirt ... oh well. It sure is the perfect inpiration-outing. Arts and greens in a beautiful combo.

Norrland











I just spent a couple of weeks in Norrland, the North of Sweden and it was absolutely fantastic. No phone, no internet, no TV, lots of friends,  family, coffebreaks, good books and the sound of the ocean rocking me to sleep. The light, the air, the people and the forest - what more could you ask for?

Coolest kids bath ever...


... must be this one in Mood gallery in Stockholm. A tiny door like in Alice in Wonderland led into a small kids bathroom with an upside down city in the ceiling playing music. We could have stayed here for hours.

Elisabet





Visiting my friend Elisabets lovely atelier at Drottningholm. She is the propmaker and is currently making a hydracostume (obviously) with three heads for herself ... must be one of the funniest jobs on earth.

Drottningholm







I went to the Drottningholm Court Theater to leave my masks, they are for sale in their lovely shop. While walking around I noticed that I easily can picture myself living here, having my morning tea in the garden, wearing the dress above ... I think that would pretty darn fabulous!

Dottie Angel

























What a wonderful day of inspiration and crafting! 
Filled with ideas from our dearest Dottie Angel we got together for a glorious day of retrofabric, doilies, cookies, tea and clogs. Since it´s a little far for us to cross the pond for a workshop we simply decided to have one on our own.  Anna, Clara and I easily could have spent a week together! At least we decided that when (not if - when) we win the lottery (or eventually when we retire) we will definately create a crafters paradise in an old barn overlooking the sea -  a studio filled with funky material, good music, flowers and lovely creative people. I am so extremely very happy to have these friends, that proves I am not alone in almost crying over lace and beautiful patterns, pretty bird plates and pink ribbons. THANKYOU - and thankyou Dottie! Feel free to visit Sweden and join us when you can, we will keep the teapot warm!
