Casa e Cose

Yep last night I got creative and I made myself a dress. You like it? I am happy with the result and I think I will do some more…Got some compliments for it when wearing it yesterday too so at the end of the day I was rather proud and ready to sow some more!  Anyhow  tonight i will let my overlock rest -  after everyone has gone to sleep I will be up reading Lonny !

And i want to fill it with DIY project and ‘real-life’ projects like doing my own collection of WW and babywear…and filling it with more stunning photos, ideas etc for my blog. Yes I want a Mac and a drawing board. And also the laptop case from Paul Smith. Availble at my new favore on line store Mr Porter. Just one thing – but where is Mrs Porter?

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.

..and if there were one for adult size I would sure get one! Does not take up space at all and its just so smart and cool modern scandinavian looking ( you know what I mean ). Plus it rocks gently and that might help you some if you been wrestling with some sleepless nights. And you can bring it with you on travels too! A perfect all in one bed for the first months of your baby.  From Mawok.

Anyhow just got back from some 2 weeks of vacation in a sunny Stockholm. We did some days in the outskirts of the archepelago, visited Dalarna and the lake Siljan and also had one night at the Marina Tower hotel thanks to my beautifull friends. If I have time soon I will show you pics.

Now I know it’s summer and its hot outside. I know we just want to run around butt naked in the sun, dive into the waves or just chill under a tree BUT I found this super cute collection over at GOOP and I wanted to share ( and save in my files…since this blog is like a file sharing thing  for me ) Just adorble and its teaches you one or two things too:

All of Waddlers Alpaca wool is sourced in Bolivia and Peru from small farmers. As well as providing an income for thousands of families, Alpacas are also an environmentally friendly animal. Unlike sheep and goats, they have soft toes that don’t damage delicate eco-systems and their grazing doesn’t cause soil erosion.They e source  Alpaca fur from the high number of animals that die naturally in the foaling season. Alpacas are not farmed for their fur and Waddler does not support fur farming. *(Baby Alpaca refers to the fine grade of the wool rather than it coming from young Alpacas)

I got a little bit wiser and I really want to shop now! Like the super cute wolf and bear hooded jumper for fall. Amazing!
