Pumpkin decor

I´m so lazy and tiered these days but I should buy a pumpkin to "celebrate" autumn and decorate my credenza at the most. Who knows...maybe I´ll go all the way and spray paint it silver?! There are endless possibilities on how to decorate a pumpkin. My favorite are no-carve painting, decoupage (probable also Margarets favorite) and taping.

Paper twirling

In one of my Martha Stewart magazines there was a spread illustrating SPRING only using paper twirls all in green hues. It was just so beautiful, but I can´t find the issue to show you - sorry! Anywho I´m so loving paper twirling and russian born Yulia Brodskaya has truly mastered the art form

American Patchwork

I feel in love with this quilt by HappyQuilt over at etsy yesterday and today I purchased it! The bright colors will do good for our black pram/stroller. Happy happy days.

Project blanket

I´m a proud member of a knitting club. The members that either are pregnant or are mothers have all knitted at least one blanket, so I guess I should as well. I have gone with gender neutral colors, seeing that we won´t know the Berliners sex until born. The pattern is inspired by a flash ad shown on Politiken (danish newspaper)

A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be

I had the annual visit by our chimney sweeper. He´s fascinatingly elegant in his chimney sweep costume all in black with his high hat, that was a gift from his master after his apprenticeship in 1974. There are 17 chimney sweepers in Copenhagen today and 3 masters.

Stof2000

>> tirsdag den 5. maj 2009 – craft

When Stof2000 opened up a store 2 minutes away from our apartment I was thrilled. Stof2000 is a fabric store that have a good range from expensive french velvet to 2 $ a meter jersey fabric. Their new catalog is filled with good sewing ideas and there are some cool and relatively easy bedspreads that have my interest, but first I have to sow 160 napkins...

Cushions & Wire

Over the weekend I finished my very first teapot-cushion. Must say (as the Faroese football team always say) it was a learning experience. I´m planning on sowing more cushion in the nearest future. Kristjan changed the old ugly yellow wire with a new fresh cyen fabricqe wire. The wire is still unnoticed by frineds/family that have visited.

Bibidi Babidi Boo

I love what they´r doing to pumpkins over at Martha Crafts. Stylish and chick aren´t always words that come to mind when I think pumpkins. But Marthas people have done just that!

Cold Turkey

>> mandag den 20. oktober 2008 – craft

The hard disk in my beloved computer has had a meltdown, which means that I have not been online since friday. It´s been good & awful all at the same time. I´ll be buying a portable hard disk, and see/hope/pray that Kristjan can save all of our pictures. No internet means plenty of free time and I made two new editions to my "Ugle kid Joe" christmas present project. For more inspiration on pillow owls go to etsy.

Alvar Alto vs IKEA

>> tirsdag den 14. oktober 2008 – craft

I never tier of the shape of the Savoy vase by Alvar Alto and thought that it would make a pretty mat - a bathmat that I´ve been in need of for a long time. I bought the cheap NÄCKTEN in white and blew up the shape of the Savoy vase on to a newspaper and cut the shape out. I then pinned the template on to the mat wich I then cut out. Voila!

Christmas present prototype

I finally got a sewing machine last week and boy do I have big plans... There are 150 napkins to be sown, and in order to save money for the wedding, I´ll be sewing almost all christmas prestens. For my youngest godchildren I have along with ahh about 4000 others decided sow stuffed owls. Last night I made a prototype - enjoyed the process and it took me 3 hours to make the owl. Think the owl came out ok, but there are some adjustments, I´ll make it larger with larger ears and form the nose/mouth differently. The best part about my "owl project" is the price, I´ve made a calculation and each owl will be under $ 7.
