Two sick kids and a mom with a creative urge - what to do? Make cards. Luckily I have a lots of supplies and they can use whatever they want. Just look at our creative mess - and the nice cards we made. My mom ordered some cards - so the strange numbering is for […]
I love these dolls. They are everywhere these days. I had to have this bag, bought at Søstrene Grene. Of course it was filled with ribbons and lots of other lovely things and it was much better than a plastic bag. Last Sunday I used it for going to our sewing studio. Then it was […]

Before you get too jealous I’ll tell you about it. I have 100s of about 8 cm of all kinds of different ribbons. My step mother wanted to import ribbons wholesale and start selling ribbons on the Internet and got many samples. It didn’t go that way and I got all […]
