What I made this month: February´11
This post is a wee bit late, but I didn´t have time until now to get somewhat decent pictures for this. I have been finishing off some stuff I have wanted to make for a long time, and I have made some stuff just for the fun of it! First and foremost: I have finally…
Read MoreSpringspiration
I love word games and puns. And I especially love to make new words out of two existing ones. Might be a teeny-tiny bit dorky, but hey – that is just the way I am… Take the words spring and inspiration. Springspiration. I am really better at this in norwegian, for obvious reasons, but if…

Today I got the final evidence of my new approach to clothing. I don´t know how it is everywhere else in the world, but here in Sweden you can become a member of hmclub, a bonus shopping program if you´re a regular shopper at H&M stores. Today, in my mailbox I found a letter from…
Read MoreOn freedom.
A friend of mine and I were discussing the topic of choices, while we were out walking. For once the sun was out, and it was a perfect time to get some fresh air and meet some good friends. Needless to say, in most places of the world, freedom is viewed upon as a great…

On my little trip to Paris last weekend, I came over these gorgous summery cottons, at Coupons de St. Pierre. I have them near my desk, so I can look at them from time to time – and at the same time listen to music for an upcoming concert one of my choirs are having…
Read MoreSo, what´s next?
Last years challenge was an eye-opening experience for me, and over all, I think I did good. But I am really just now beginning to take control over the hardest part, and that is the desire for new things. Ali, of the wardrobe, reimagined, wrote a insightful post about this topic all the way back…
Read MoreMadeleine
In trying to be better at updating you whenever I´ve made something new, I´ll give you a quick post here showing you what I did yesterday. It´s not entirely clear to my why I havent made the Madeleine mini bloomers yet. They are, after all, both super cute, designed at Colette´s and free! The only…
Read More2010 – my challenge in review
2010 was the year where I decided it was time to stop spending on clothes, and spend more time sewing. About a year ago I decided to not buy anything new. This would allow me to: I will be more creative – since I can’t buy new clothes, I will have to make them myself…
