Finally finished…gosh I have been waiting for the creative nerve to kick in and this weekend it did. Finished the bedspread wih recycled fabrics for my sons bed. A bit too late though since the bed has grown. But i don’t care.
I also almost managed to make myself a bag and know Im doing some cute knit hats for the fall that finally seems to be hitting Barcelona too!
The bags are so huggable – especially the pink shopping. Can i just have it at home like a pillow or something? Love the label to: sais how fish nets in gr was recycles to make the fabric. Super!
and here we go! One of these will be my new sneakers for fall. Or all of them…depends on my wallet.
Organic cotton, chrome-free suede,recycled rubber sole,organic cotton lining and insole recycled from mattress foam…and the design is really really nice.
All from Spanish Ecoalf.
The Brook Farm General Store...I would love to have one in my neighbourhood! Come over the Atlantic and build one here too!
Love the soft colors and that seems the natural handfeel and feelgood-ness about it all!
With the aestetics of asian culture and the ability to use earth or rather soil to dye fabric miss Hyun Jin Jeong has created some rather exquisite textiles. She comments on her work on the St Martin textile blog: My vision of textile futures is the re-discovery of everyday materials from nature. There are many different natural materials that were once used but are now forgotten. I think rediscovering these materials and using them wisely is essential for a sustainable future.

from Stubby Pencil studio makes you want to sit down a creat, draw, mold, play! And all is either recycled or eco with a huge thought put in for the design! I love the sight and their products. Shame it’s so expensive to ship from the States to Barcelona…
the Palvas, both Finnish architects. Their 150-square-foot cottage on the west side of Helsinki, near the Baltic shore, a 10-minute bike ride from their three-bedroom apartment is a pure eco-friendly gem. It cost around $42,000 to build or in euros about 30.000. I so oh so want one too! I mean its in the middle of the forrest, you can see a peak of the ocean, you have marimekko print details, little led lights, basically glas walls, hidden spaces everywhere for smart storage, smart bedding and living during the day, cosy smart flooring with heating and on and on i could go. Yummi!

..the Anthropologie store would be in Barcelona. But then again I would most likely be broke.
Pinning hecticly over at Pinterest I happened to stumble over Spoonflower. Basically 4 amazing people having one amazing idea and making it come true: design and print your own fabric and have it delivered to your home in 2 weeks, no minimums asked There is different qualities to choose from – many of them are ecological – and you can browse through the library of prior clients who has had their own print be immortal on fabric and maybe choose something from there if you aren’t yourself feeling very creative. I who am in the fashion and textile industry feels it is a marvellous thing what they have accomplished and they do make many dreams come true in the hand craft community. Below are some of my favorites but there are so many more!
