I've been cooking up some new cards today, thought I needed a card for all Jamie Olivers and Nigellas out there. I have to confess that I'm not a very passionate cook myself, I do have inspired moments in the kitchen from time to time, but I would be happy just to eat the food :) Luckily I share my life with a guy who knows how to cook so we're sharing the responsibility for the everyday cooking, which is how it should be in a household with two working adults, of course!
This is a sneaky peak of my work in progress, it's starting to look quite retro. I'm very happy with the edgy border that was provided by my favourite linen skirt, which was becoming alarmingly thin. I bought it second hand and now it gets a third life, very sustainable!
You can see more of my former skirt in the second card I've been working on, inspired by my little Batboy at home. I'm very fortunate to have this little 5 y old as an inspiration, many customers are asking for cute and cool boys stuff and it is much easier to come up with ideas that work when you have a little man with opinions and preferences to talk to :) If you're looking for crafty inspiration for boys there is a flickr group dedicated to the matter!
He chose the outfit himself :) Notice the crafty bling-bling star on the rubber boot!
Hello Kajsa

Your WIP looks wonderful. The scandanavian stitches book that I ordered through your etsy shop arrived today. It's lovely, I can't wait to start stitching

I think you should have warned us that the page link you gave was full of bad language. Not all of us think that stuff is funny.
