god jul





That's Merry Christmas in Swedish. I have had a good time decorating the house for Christmas this year, since it is our house now. During my crazy nesting phase I was very intent on getting every decoration up and done so when baby Isaac decides to come everything is done and we can enjoy Christmas.

Scandinavian Style


I got this great book at the library of Handmade Projects from a Swedish author, Lotta Jansdotter. She says "When I think of Scandinavian Style, I think of simplicity, funcionality, and unpretentious classic forms. Midcentury Scandinavian designers made use of natural materials and relied on traditional craft principles to create high-quality pieces with a handmade feel that would last for generations. The result is a style that is classic, elegant, and modern."

I think these fabric baskets will definitely be on my to do list once I get a better sewing machine. They would be great in fun kids patterns for toy baskets.
