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 in May – the theme is music from all over the world, and I get so happy and just want to dance when I listen to this music! Well, on a similar topic, I have just posted my Spring Palette over at the Colette forum. Great initiative from Sarai, don´t you think? Here is…

This would allow me to: I will be more creative â since I canât buy new clothes, I will have to make them myself instead if I âneedâ anything new.

 Hi there! I´m Sølvi Elise. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. This is a space where I share my craft projects and thoughts and ideas concerning handmade in a consumerist world.
I live in Oslo, Norway where I use my spare time stitching up my own wardrobe. So far, I´d say that 80 % of my closet is filled with me-mades. I also have an interest in historical sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, leatherwork, tablet weaving, rigid heddle loom- weaving, cocktails, jewelry making, makramÊ, shoe making, drawing, paper craft, machine knitting and generally any craft that looks like fun.
