Today is one of those dark rainy winter days when you just want to cuddle up on the sofa with something good to read. First though we had to go grocery shopping...
When we got home we found Sebastian busy on the vintage sewing machine I bought a couple of weeks ago at the last flea market of the season. He has been doing threadless stitching on paper.
Then it was time to cozy up to some magazines. Norwegian crafting update! On the top of the stack was Juleideer Familiens idébøker 2007.
Inside it:
Next up: Bolig Pluss December issue 2007:
Aren't the ornaments pretty?
Finally, Kvinner og Klær has a special Christmas edition: Julen 2007
The biggest spread is about Tilda, created by Tone Finnanger. She is one of the recent crafty successes in Norway. This Norwegian designer has just published her 7th book and they have been translated to other languages.
(You still have time to post a comment on the Kimono craze and give away if you want to be in the drawing!)
Those craft mags look great! Last month, I bought a book by Tone Finnanger, Sew Pretty Homestyle. There are a number of things I would like to make from that book. It would be fun to read the article you referenced, if I could read Norwegian! I would like to know more about her. I made a table topper for the Fall Swap, based on her idea, though it is hard to see in my flickr picture, but here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/calicodaisy/1804625465/in/set-72157602802674955/

I love the red sweaters! I think I could pull off the first one -- even without the cleavage!

I wasn't going to get any of the magazines this year, but the red dress in there...I'd love to fiddle around with that pattern:-)
Ser ikke ut som jeg har fått mail fra deg.
Du kan jo prøve å nå meg på hobbyboden?
