Illustration Friday: Haunt

This week´s topic on Illustration Friday is Haunt, a topic inspired by Halloween.
Team Nikolovski got invited to a Halloween party this weekend to come, unfortunately in Sweden so we have to give it a miss. However I started to think what costume I would choose and realized that it is easy this year. It already feels and maybe looks like I am carrying around a big pumpkin. Baby bump would easily with orange colors be taken for a scary pumpkin, so half job done. The rest of the witch outfit fits me pretty well and strangely enough I feel pretty comfortable in frizzy hair and a big hat. Mr Nikolovski would easily be transformed into a sweet Dracula or Devil.

Veckans tema på Illustration Friday är Haunt, svensk översättning spöka eller hemsöka.
Team Nikolovski är bjuden denna helg på Halloween fest i Katrineholm och tyvärr är det lite för långt för oss att åka. Dock började jag genast spåna på ideer på vad vi skulle kunna klä ut oss till. I år känns det ganska enkelt med tanke på att det känns som jag just nu bär omkring på en stor pumpa. Så idéen är helt enkelt att med hjälp av lite orange färg kan bebiskulan lätt förvandlas till en läskig pumpa. Häxdräkten passar mig annars ganska bra och konstigt nog klär jag i ruffsigt hår och en stor svart hatt. Mr Nikolovski skulle lätt kunna gestalta en söt Dracula eller en djävul.

Weekly update 42/52 New fleece hats ready for the cooler weather

Weekly update 41/52 Time for warmer hats, nice books and last garden projects

October and week 41 and I have been making lots of new jersey hats with fleece lining. The weather is getting colder and colder and yes hat season is here. I will during the week add new fun warm hats in my web-shop. The hats will also be sold at Christmas markets here in Örebro. New this year for me is that I am making baby hats since I got a lot of requests. I find it hard to make baby hats because they look so small, it is hard to remember how small babies are. Also this week big happiness over at new book release from my favorite children book illustrator Sven Nordqvist. "Vägen Hem" a wonderful book with amazing illustrations. I have also bought and planted some new plants inspired from some nice park arrangements here in Örebro. Now lets hope that all the deer in the forrest will not eat all of these, as I forgot to check wether or not these are tasty to them. In our country-house in the forrest they tend to come and eat everything they like and they ...

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves. I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...
