>So many projects, so little time.

By Sølvi Elise | 21/01/2010

>There are so many things I would like to do! I don´t know where to start, so I thought I´d write about it first, and maybe then I´ll see in what order I will do stuff.1. The Epoxy is for making one of these cool cakestands.2. The card is for a good friend I havn´t seen in a while.3. The chain is for a necklace I want to make.4. The crepe paper and the pipe cleaners are for some paper flowers I want to make. I think they would be lovely to look at, and remind me that spring is coming closer.5. The frame is for a good-looking…

>Top shop(s)

By Sølvi Elise | 01/01/2010

> So, here are the nominees for my favorite Internet stores: 1. www.hifa.no 2. www.etsy.com 3. www.stoffochstil.se 4. www.sewingpatterns.com 5. www.spoonflower.com This doesn’t mean that Hifa is the best and that Spoonflower is least good, they are all fabulous. But a list is a list. And numbers are required. 1. Hifa is short for HillesvĂĽg Ullvarefabrikk and it is a Norwegian company that sells the most beautiful yarn and wool you can imagine. You can find the same company at www.ull.no as well. Ull is the Norwegian word for wool. HillesvĂĽg ships internationally. 2. As for Etsy, it probably doesn’t need an introduction. I use Etsy for stash…

>The Best of 2009. The Products.

By Sølvi Elise | 30/12/2009

> Once again, I have been a sporadic blogger, never quite giving up, but my routines are not at all satisfying. But now I have found the answer. Or more correct, answers. I believe that a combination between my new found best friend Things, and the e-book Making a Great Blog, by Diane at Craftypod. If I follow the easy steps Diane lists in her book, and at the same time, log them into Things, nothing could come in my way. Or at least for the next week or so… Well, I will start my new and improved blog with some lists. Who doesn’t like lists? I enjoy…

>My new hobby

By Sølvi Elise | 06/07/2009

>And so, as I always do when visiting my parents house (and their enormous library of craft books), I have got myself a new hobby. This time it´s quilting that´s got a hold on me.It really is the Sproutz store´s fault;-). A couple of weeks ago, I bought some fabric charm packs, Soire´e by Lila Tueller for Moda, and Neptune, by Tula Pink. I love how the patterns and colours of the charm packs all fit together, and I am hooked on my new hobby. One of the things I made, is a cute little bag for make up or other necessities.This is how it turned out: Läs…

Sølvi Elise is wearing a selfmade shirt and heavy glasses

 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.
