Thrifted. Very stylish!

finding emil

Emil Petrov is missing. The last his family heard from him was on October 1st when he was in Warsaw. I read the story in today's Hufvudstadsbladet and it got to me. Emil is from the south of Finland and was travelling through Europe when he went missing.

Read about his father's, big sister's and little brother's search through Europe for their missing son and brother on the Finding Emil blog.

Have you seen him?

äventyr - adventure

This was my Christmas present from P. He knows I love them!

We promised to buy each other inexpensive gifts for this Christmas, so the other thing I got from P was books from the library. Very smart! He had borrowed very good books for me as well; 100 upcoming fashion designers (a new book), bebis-bekännelser (a hilarious book about being pregnant and becoming a parent) and song lyrics by Suzanne Vega, just to mention a few books. I really appreciated the book gift!


Work free day today (trettondag) and grand parents visiting. Recipe for a very good day!

All the best!

shirt for a boy

I am really starting to like the pattern for this shirt, Gynther of course. This was a present for one of our godsons (I made boot trousers with car appliqués for our second godson but I forgot to take pictures).



It is an old thrifted pillow cover with the wrong side out.






Today I am making a cardigan from a cotton sweater, an old sweater of P's, from the same pattern for wee M.


What are you making right now?

more girly dresses

Magda received this sweet dress from her godparents.

And her grandmother made her this beautiful dress for her christening. I thrifted the fabric, probably an old curtain.

Thank you all for fine gifts for our daughter!

oh my! dress

I have wanted one of my own, one of this woman's girl dresses. And some weeks ago Magda got one as a present from a friend. A-K makes them well!

another kind of Christmas tree

I decorated one wall of the living room with a spruce branch. A nice idea I got from a fashion catalogue.



How do you hang your Christmas decorations?
