craft & creativity on your vacation

This week I'll continue on the theme: craft & creativity on your vacation. For travelling in Denmark I had my knitting and watercolours with me. This was because I knew there would be losts of beautiful scenery for me to paint and since we travelled by car, knitting was perfect! I have almost finished the started sweater, all that remains is sewing it together and I have already shown you some of the views I painted. But we also went to Stockholm for a couple of days by train. When travelling by train watercolours ain't the best! On the way up I had my podcasts and a book.

But while we where there I bought some new pens! (I love pens!) Artist pens from Faber- Castell. It feels like drawing with a brush and the colors are so rich.

And I also bought this coloring book full of abstract motifs!

This was a perfect "no-brainer" activity on the train home again. Coloring and listening to podcasts, I felt like a child again!:-)

What crafts do you bring on your vacation?

I'm back!

I'm back, from what it feels like, a long blog vacation.

Today I had my first day of the semester at Uni for the last time. This is my last semester and then I'll be all grown and ready to go to work!!!(a bit scary) This is the beginning of something new and to celebrate that I've made some changes here on the blog. New colours, tags on every post and a little pic of me;-) This is me jumping on a gigantic trampoline at a place in Denmark we stayed in. O, I had fun!!
There are going to be some more changes as the time progresses but other than that I'm back to swapping and planing my etsy and just being creative. I'll have some more children's crafts and later into fall I'll start with ceramic Tuesday again. Here are some more pic from our vacation

I got to do some painting on the beach!

Everywhere you looked there was beauty like this!

A quick hello!

Fore those of you that want to see what I'm doing on my vacation and can read Swedish can go over here and look! See you in September!

Let's meet again, soon!

Before I go, I'll leave you with some inspiration from my mothers home. I would also like to thank all for stopping by and an extra little plus for all who writes a little comment:-) When I'm back in September there will be some changes here on the blog, more weekly themes and a new template (I've wanted to change for a long time, this one is to dark) But hopefully you'll still recognize what has become me...

Me and Emil say goodbye for now and see you all in September!

Sewing & swapping

Here are all the things I've made this weekend....as you can see I've been really really busy, crafting almost 12 h a day!:-) I have now talked about opening my own esty for a long time and it is going to happen. Some of the things I've been sewing are going in to that etsy!
But it still won't be opening it in a while but I have started preparing for it...

Sewing a lot of vanity cases and little clutches to have make-up or other little things in your hand bags... The pink striped fabric it the fabric I bought last weekend at the flea market.

These little drawers are for another swap I'm in: Matchbox drawers swap over at flickr. This one is going to my swap partner Craftsy it's filled with supplies as you can see and I also added some lovely papers, ribbons and vintage sewing thread!

Today I going to pack, as we are leaving for Denmark early tomorrow morning. Since I've crafted so much this weekend all I'll bring with me for the trip is my watercolours and some knitting (perfect for the car). There won't be any more blogging for me in almost three weeks now, as I'm also taking a blogging vacation. Have a good Monday!
