a bit of retro
For a sweet glass case as a present to my mother...
... just because mums deserve presents once and a while!
And also a present to her, on my birthday, as a thank you for the last 27 years...

crochet - baby blanket
It's finished... the little baby blanket I started months ago, and that I took my time to complete it (ok, call it lazyness) is finished!
I used just double crochet, in two colours cotton yarn: canary yellow and peachy peach (not the official names btw!)...
...I like the simplicity and uniformity of one type of stitch... I have always loved the 'less is more'. Once you grow up with Mies' teaching you won't go too far astray.
Now I just need to wait for a friend or family member to give me the good news of a new arrival!
artists - Sweden - again
Here I go again with Swedish art, design and artists...
My passion and inspiration continues to flow from the Scandinavian countries, especially Sweden (I need to see if I can stumble across any good blogs from Norway and Finland... any suggestions?)
Today I discovered that Camilla Engman (artist, designer and illustrator), who is the other half of Studio Violet, of which I immensely adore their work, is friend to Johan of Pergenius (I blogged about his work previously), who's blog is another of my daily inspirations blog-stops...
Reading this post I have now come across Sandra Juto's work... another inspiring photo blog to add to my long list...
How I love finding connections...
Please have a look at Camilla's blog, her own website and Studio Violet's blog too, because I think you'll like their work too. I missed the circus china project (I blogged about it earlier in the year), I was too late and it was all gone by the time I wanted to have a little bit of Studio Violet in my home... next time, next project!
Ahhh and did I mention she has the loveliest dog ever? I would love a companion to share adventures together like Morran..

a little delight
There's nothing like making and sewing, especially when you work with lovely Japanese print linen like this. Perfect to store all your little treasures.
Making LO:Ci likes yorktownroad very very much... Etsian love.

candy colours
for a dear friend, on her birthday I decided to make her a card using watercolours, but a bit retro, of what we used to do when children... although extremely simple I liked the sweetness of colours and simple lines that came out of it...
...the best part is definitely enjoying making a card with love and affection and it had the desired effect... a trip down memory lane.

Oeuf
Can I bring to your attention oeuf?
It's a lovely collaboration between illustrator Lili Scratchy and Nathalie Choux. Their pottery work is adorable, heart-warming and their cheeky characters are sure to make you smile :) (see!)
One day I'd like a little piece by them, for the moment I enjoy reading their blogs here and here, which also keep my french a little in shape...
Lili Scratchy's shop is here
tout alors!

Swedish Design
Lately I am becoming obsessed with everything swedish: photography, textile and design... and more!
I have come across Johan Pergenius's log (just photography, with gorgeous scandinavian light) and his work.
Have a look!

Studio Violet
I always love everything that gravitates or originates from Scandinavian Design, and to my heart content Studio Violet have brought out their new collection Circus Violet.
Art and porcelain, so delicate yet so energetic!
I also love their studio, I'd love to work in a space like that... it's certainly going onto my inspiration board...
