...yarning for your kind words! You made my day :)
You should really take the time and visit this blog, it´s full of inspiration!
Meet Mr Plystre. A tiny person made by me with love. I even gave him a hat, he told me that he loves it. He is so sweet, different, but sweet. I like him.
But the other day he disappeared. He was gone, until I opened my small cabinet where I keep my matches. There he was, sad and lonely. Not trapped, just lonely.
He told me that he felt like he did not belong here, that he felt different and that he knew where to go. I told him that I would always love him and that he had to do what felt right for him. Poor thing.
So he told me, he was going to Gøteborg. To Camilla Engman. He never met her, but he loves her work and he had a feeling that her characters would understand him. I hope they do. He does not need much. If I know him right he will be happy just getting a place in a drawer.
So of he went the next morning. My Mr. Plystre. The sun was shining on his hat.
New skirt for my lamp made from one of my favorite fabrics. Its really easy to make, so here´s some DIY for you in the autumn sun/rain: Just measure the bottom of the shade so the fabric will fit tight. Sew the fabric together and make place for the elastic band in top and bottom of the skirt. Make sure that the fabric is higher than the actual shade, that way it will make a hole for the light in the bottom. The larger the fabric is the smaller the hole. Wish you luck :)
A nice reader of mine commented on Almas bottles shown below, and told me that they contain Bisphenol A (BPA). After reading the study, I´m throwing mine away. Here´s a list (Norwegian) over the safe ones.
Thank you for letting me know! And that reminds me to take a closer look into new stuff before I recommend it. Scary!
Sweet & wonderful, just perfect. I guess I feel like every mom does :)
This blog is getting more and more baby pictures, but I promise you some interior soon. The couch has arrived and we are so happy. So when the house is tidy and everything is on place I´ll give you a small house-tour. Of to some housework!
This is a really easy set to make for your kids. The cap is knitted back and forth and just stitched at the edges. Alma wanted Sverre to have this set so that they can match when they´re out rolling. Almas set is pink and off-white.
So her she is, my wonderful Mademoiselle chair. She was original black, but has been painted pale pink. I like the pink but I´m thinking of painting her black again, what do you think?
I love the factlabel underneath. I´m still in love and she will look so good beside my new couch. Happy happy.
This summers craft-project has been a baby-blanket for my cousines sweet baby, Emmy.
I´ve used my favorite yarn, Cotton Eco from Schachenmayer. It´s so soft and I love the colors.
The blanket measures ca 1m x 1m and is really easy to make, you can watch TV at the same time! So there is a lot of "Brothers & Sisters" and "Midsummer Mysteries" in this one Ü
Heidi, over at portofritt, wrote some words about "retro and vintage" (with some help from Tove) that I like to share with you. "Go" over and read! (only in norwegian)
So sweet baby-Alma you are so retro-cool and vintage-chick Ü
After some more looking I went to another favorite site finn.no, a marketplace online. I searched for chairs and in the first ad two old chairs looking like Mademoiselle turned up (really cheap). I did´nt mind if it was not the real Mademoiselle chair, I was so happy that my heart raced and I bought them in a second.
The lady who sold them lives far away from me, but my sister-in-law parents lives nearby and were so sweet to pick them up for me. Thank you!!
Two days ago I finally got one of the chairs home, and guess what? They are original with the stamp and label underneath. So now you see why I´m so lucky and so so happy....tralalalala :)
I´ll show you a picture soon, but right now I have to do some cleaning after Matheas birthdayparties. Thank you for all the greetings!
I´m just done designing for Lena, the owner of the store and site Strandlykke.
Only "Strandlykke" has become "bo med barn".
Check it out! A lot of nice stuff for your kids.
...make an easy and sweet dress.
Buy a cheap t-shirt (50 kr at H&M) and cut it of right under the arms.You do not need the curious baby, but it´s recomended :)
You need some fabric. Cut two pieces, both ca 30 cm high. The first piece should be about 10 cm wider than the t-shirt. The second piece 15-20 cm wider than the first piece.
All you now have to do is to make the wrinkels even and sew.
Voilà! You have a dress.
