A little eco-friendly cottage by the Baltic sea…

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!

Print your own fabrics!

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!

One eye shut

I cant open one eye. My back hurts. My throat. I think Im coming down with something. But it’s spring and I can feel it! Want to throw away my shoes and jacket, put on some sandals and a dress and go walking by the beach…or rather just lay down on the beach and sleep. I bough a trensh yesterday on Etsy. I have been looking at it for months…fantastic cut! Need to buy some carrot cream to prepare the skin for the sun – I adore the packaging, and also some eco products from the home.  Want to redo our living room to a fun playground for all and I am also considering buying tons of plants and just randomly place them, effortlessly by the window and dont make so much fuss about it.

Below are a new favorite shop of mine: Bure Bure - a felt slipper maker of organic icelandic pure wool! Ah I could really use a pair to warm my cold feet. I damn yet again the stone floor we have in our apartment…

the Water footprint project

The Virtual Water project that I just happened to stumple upon while surfing the world wide web is pretty amazing: trying to show the world how much fresh water is needed to produce certain selected products.
If you have an Iphone you can also download their application interactive infographics to become more conscious about how much of fresh water products such as what you have on your plate or what you are about to buy at the supermarket actually needs. The poster is pretty cool too…
Have an amazing weeking – Im up to sowing,  playing and cooking…i think. And i need to finsish my new swedish crime novel.
