I always need new boxes to store the different materials I collect. If you have followed this blog you know that I often use recycled/upcycled materials. When I upcycle a piece of cloth I try to use all of it, not only the part which I need here and now. Therefore I always save the … [Read more…]
I thing we all know how it is – you start a project but never get it finished. There is always a couple of unfinished projects which are waiting for the right idea to come along. The other day I finally managed to finish one of these projects. A couple of embroideries from last summer … [Read more…]
The other day I cleaned up in my box with old paper and cardboard – something which has to be done from time to time. In the box I discovered three old cards from the 70’s, which have never been used and looked a bit tired. Seeing the cards made me want to do something … [Read more…]
Once again I have been making cards out of recycled materials. It is not that I write that many cards myself, but fortunately some lovely people buy some of the cards. The problem is that I can’t stop making cards. Every card is a small piece of ‘art’ by itself and it is always exciting … [Read more…]

With March comes the desire for spring and for me spring is associated with newly sprouted branches decorated with Easter eggs. Therefore I have made the first Easter eggs – even if Easter is not here for a while. … [Read more…]
It is always fun to try new materials for creative projects. Sometime it ends after one attempt, and other times it ends up as a lifelong passion. Before Christmas I wrote about a couple of hearts which I had sewn on water-soluble fabric – a completely new material for me. I’m guessing that my relationship … [Read more…]
I love having a lot of green plants everywhere in the house. I can therefore never get enough decorative plant pots. This plant pot is a little bit out of the ordinary – an embroidered plant pot. Embroidery and plant pots sounds a bit absurd – however – it works. The plant pot is made … [Read more…]
The recycled Christmas cards which I’m showing today are made in the same way as the ones I wrote about Monday. The only difference is that today’s cards are made in blue colours. The card with the tree in snowy weather has been accompanied by a drawing cut out of a Christmas card from last … [Read more…]
