My birthyear

This time I wanted to show you a pic of a deco with the theme "My birthyear". And since I was born 1969 - of course I had to make it with a pic of the very first moon-landing! I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, even though it didn't match the image I had in my mind before I started! But well, that is often the case I think, when you're crafting! The items get a life of their own... ;)

Long time no see...

My gosh, I've been really absent lately! I'm sorry everybody, to have kept you waiting for this update! That is, if there still is anybody reading my blog...

I have been really busy these past few months and the winter has been long, dark, snowy (lots and lots and lots of snow this year) and hard. And I have been pretty much out of energy and not really had the desire to be creative. Well, spring is here soon, even though the temperature is still below 0 (freezing temperature).

The deco is themed "Famous Lovestories" and I chose Tristan and Isolde for the cover. I kind of like the way it turned out!

Christmas is over...

... and a new year has come! Still, I'm posting a pic of the latest Decosquare I have made for a group-swap - a Vintage Christmas Decosquare! The colours aren't that "Christmassy" and the pic would be fine any year, so... I hope you will think it's OK anyway! :)

Cowboy

This is a Cowboy-deco I made for a group-swap. I kept feeling that something was missing on it,
that is was too bare... But eventually it had to do anyway, I couldn't really put flowers or other girlie stuff there, could I?! And really, I am pretty happy with it nevertheless!

Elephant

Wow, more than a month since I last posted here! I'm so sorry for being absent, I've had lots to do, both at work and privately. Hopefully things will slow down a little now!

This pic above is an Elephant decosquare I made for a group-swap. I really like the colours in the square, they harmonize very well! And harmony is very important to me! ;)

Today it's Mats' birthday, so I'm off for some cake now!

Black Cat Decosquare

This is a decosquare I made for a groupswap. The cat is from a clearstamp-set I bought from a friend. And I cannot remember who made it, but I just love the set! The tail is made of furry black yarn that I sewed onto the square. The black round things on the side are brads that are covered with black fabric. Finally I put a needle through the paper and made it look like a frame. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and the receiver liked it as well, thank goodness!

Well, vacation is long gone now. I've been working for 3 weeks again and it feels good. Hectic though, I still try to figure out how on earth I will make the time to slow down so I will have time for crafts, reading books and do all the things I want to do!

Gothenburg

This is a babygirl-decosquare that I made for a friend that just had a little baby-girl. Since I know she loves vintage, this is what I came up with. I'm pretty happy with it!

I'm still on vacation, and we have spent a couple of days in Gothenburg, visiting the wonderful amusement-park Liseberg and stayed at a very nice hotel. They also have trams in Gothenburg, so we spent some time on them too, that is fun for red-necks like us! ;)
