‘I will love you allways and forever, and the day after I will start all over again’. That was the embroydered words on a doll that was fotographed in Bloom magazine a long time ago. One morning also a long time ago I sneaked that photo down in my, now husband, pocket before he left for work. Now the image is gone but the frase is still true and today on this day that is not St Valentines I hope you read it – you, who are mine – just remember it.
On St Valentine’s I had a lot of lovely things planned but at the end I ended up doing very few….one that I didn’t end up doing it below…rolled printed and decorated paper hung up on a string and filled with goodies.
I found this wondefull DIY project over at dana’s blog. If I had a girl I would defenatly steal her dads shirt and make her a dress. Now i have a boy so I just have to figure out what else we can make out of his dad’s stolen shirt. Anyways isn’t it so cute!
I have been I think overly inspired these days. There is just too much information coming in from everywhere and I just feel numb. I want to do millions of things but I am incapable of doing even one of them. Not even writing a decent post…Uffa! Where to start? Well i would have an answer for that one but then … how do I pay for my flat, school, travelling….nah I have to come up with something better. But in the mean time I just color coded one of our book shelves..inspired by all the other color coded book shelves I’ve seen around the blogs. I know…it doesn’t look as stunning as those photos but to my eyes its pretty pleasing now – a Lot Better then before!
Beutifull fall leaves picket on a lovely fall morning. ( adore the change of season)
Watercolor
A brush or two
Recycled paper
Do like this:
Put the leaves on a paper. Paint the leaves in different colors and turn them and print them onto another paper. Do many. Soon you will have a beutifull pattern of leaves to frame and to proudly hang up in your home. Easy and so decorative!
Remember doing this as a kid. It was so much fun! You can even print on fabric and do fashionable shopping bags or pillows…so many things so little time! Have a wonderfull day!
Kaffe Fassett! I saw an exhibition with him a couple of years back in Stockholm. My jaw just dropped and I walked around in awe for hours. What an amazing and versatile artist! Never seen anything like it. Really i dont know how he does it…I just dont get it. I take of my hat ( if I had one ) for him!
I wish you all had a chance to see his work – even if you your not into needlepoint nor quilting nor mosaic or painting and knitting im sure you can still appreciate the beauty and time he is putting down on each piece. I mean, my dad who is not that much into needle point still thought this guy rocks! ( not his exact words but…)
So please visit his website and let me know what you think! Just consider this: he has had an exhibition at V&A…
Somewhere during Erica’s the cretive process of making shibori prints
The results are so amazingly beutiful. I just want to run home and make some myself. Tons of new pillows for my white sofa – oh that would just be perfect!
I just found this amazingly cool animal coat rack! Just think about all those plastic animals laying around, nobody is playing with them no more not even looking at them…so give them a new cool life just with some glue and a piece of wood! Very fun and decorative…at least im hooked!
