This is one of my favorite Midsummer-DIY:s – a homemade table Midsummer pole! We cut pieces of round bar and glued them onto each other like a cross (Niklas first carved out a piece in each of the poles so that they would fit). Then we fastened the pole to a square block and painted …
During Easter, my favorite embroiderer Karen Marie Dehn gave everyone of her Instagram-followers a chance to stitch along embroidering the word Love in Danish. I was bedridden and very bored, and wanted to do something productive, so this was the perfect project! We got a letter a day, which turned out to be the perfect …

Here’s a fun necklace I made! I wanted to make something inspired by the Victorian ”Lover’s Eye” jewelry, but my ”eye” ended up having glaucoma (I used the wrong glue!) so the only one knowing the thingy on the right side is an eye…! I used up a lot of pink star-paillettes for the flower …
My parents are definitely making the most of this social distancing/quarantine-time – my dad is baking bread and keeping busy like always, and my mom is sewing and being creative. Just look at what she made for Niklas for his birthday: I mean, look at that apron! It’s just perfect for the barbecue season, with …

This necklace was so fun to make! I had already made a template for a snake-necklace, so I decided to make another one. I gathered all my turquoise beads and went to work. And it turned into a real statement necklace – you can’t help but feel pretty when you wear it, it has such …
Spring is starting to come to my parts of the world, but it couldn’t spring fast enough so I made a whole bunch of flowers out of paper. The yellow and blue ones got to share space with some birch branches for a while. Look how pretty with all those patterns in the paper! And …
…or well, you can, but where’s the fun in that?! (read all about our Påskris-tradition here) This year I made a teeny tiny påskris, with extra feathers, and extra colorful. And I sort of volunteered the whole family to craft with me! We all needed a break and with the weather not cooperating it was …
This Easter wreath was so fun to make! I glued a whole bunch of plastic eggs to a styrofoam wreath. I glued glitter onto some of the eggs, white and pink and yellow glitter. Then I added a whole lot of small pretty feathers here and there. It’s like instant Easter when I hang this …
