26/52 Summer hand-crafted funky neon earrings

In this post I will present another one of my creative summer crafts. Before summer I started making earrings first from foamy clay and after that with a Fimo clay copy. I decided I wanted to try the original Fimo clay and my first impression was that is has a different texture and is a harder clay. I found it a bit harder to work with in the beginning but at the same time more possibilities to create more things. I might try to buy clay softener to make the clay easier do form. Fimo needs to be baked 30 min in the oven after done. I also bought long pins in different thicknesses from Fimo for creating your own beads. It was fun to try on these neon colored clays which I bought as a contrast to all the pastel colors I had made prior to these. Here is a few examples of what I made this summer och have bought more colors here in Düsseldorf so I will keep coming up with new designs and create more.

I will shortly show you more and I will bring my earrings to the markets I will do here in Düsseldorf this autumn but also looking into a way how to offer them online. Would you be interested in buying hand-crafted funky earrings ?

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

Karatänuppdatering

Det har gått 15 dagar sedan jag sist gjorde en uppdatering om Corona statusen här i Düsseldorf Eftersom vi när skolorna beslutades att stängas var sjuka och ganska rejält sjuka hela gänget så kände vi först inte av hur livet i karantän eller isolering var eftersom vi även under vanliga omständigheter hade hållt oss hemma. Om vi hade Corona det får vi aldrig veta eftersom dom inte testar här i nuläget, men jag har aldrig blivit så risig av en vanlig förkylning med hosta, tungt i bröstet och väldigt väldigt lite energi. Det positiva var att det var inga problem att få kontakt med vården och den hjälp vi behövde här i Düsseldorf, vi ringde innan för att kolla om vi verkligen fick komma in med feber och det fick vi fast genom särskilda ingångar på sjukhuset. Känns tryggt också med den mindre barnklinik dit barnen går som vi hittills alltid har fått tid samma dag och även för oss vuxna walk in klinik utan att behöva ringa innan eller långa köer. Jag ska tillägga att vi inte har någon dyr p...

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 ...
