Swedish Slöjdmagasinet have a lot of good second hand crafting books, I've bought several.
Do you have a favorite second hand books web store?

I've been doing this a couple of years now. Exposing our home like this. I enjoy it.
The family says it's ok. What if we change our minds. Well then it's too late.

Happy weekend!

I have always (for a long time) been attracted to the stove, as a symbol.
I think it has to do with how a stove looks like rather than what it symbolize
practical. It is something with the box shape and the circles. I like.

I'm making a stove shelf, that's what I'm doing.




Gosia Machon. I'm sorry but I don't recall where I found the link. It can have
been at Claire's place, Camillas blog or Mieke's but I really don't know. It can
even have been at Lena's place... Hm.

Going through photos, I've finally decided to print a fraction of the hundreds and hundreds
digital photos that are laying around on my hard drives. Would like to try make some kind
of a photo book as well. Have you tried some of the photo book sevices that is out there?
In that case are there any in particular you would recomend?



These photos is from her birthday seven years ago. The theme was different then.
The theme this year.

I don't know much really, about camera technique. When I got questions about what lense I use,
or even what kind of cameras I have, I have to think more than twice usually. It's like the names
and numbers don't stick in my mind. What I do know is what I like though. I like a camera to
have a good weight in my hand, a nice not too plastic coating (if it's not a plastic camera like
my Diana), manageable buttons and pedagogical software if it's a digital one. Also I have a soft
spot for the camera appearance. This camera is good example of what kind of look that speaks
to me. It's an old analouge one, a Rollei 35 SE, isin't nice.

The gloves with missing thumb and index fingertips, is from Etre touchy. Quite handy on cold winter days.


Ttv - Through The Viewfinder, fun photo idea. Found through Cakies.
"Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the
viewfinder of any camera with another camera."


Feel a bit embarrassed writing this, but I was nominated last week in the category photography at Poppytalk.
Thank you all of you who have vote for me!

Lisa lives here 1

My friend Lisa Gerinder is an ingenious and clever artist/designer. I love her exuberate passion for pattern,
colors and details. Look at her hand-sewn pillows, the packaging of her bracelets (typical Lisa), her quilt
on the sofa, the painted items on the wall, the red clothes on the hangers, not Lisas work even if I first
thought so (found in Tokyo).


Lisa don´t have a web site yet, but working on it. I´ll blog about it when it´s up!
