5.5.10









I get seduced of old needlework books like this one "Hemslöjdens handarbeten" from 1956.


Kind of want to eat these lovely wool balls from Piene shop.
New book from Lines & Shapes.

I like Lisa Rydbergs illustrations, via Bokskåpet.

    Isn't it amazing how something old can still look so graphic and fresh?

    nath and alsessandra, I would love too. But I really don't have the skills, nor time or the energy. Unfortunately.
