Camp karkovski

 
We're holidaying here at camp karkovski. Sleeping late. Hanging around. Doing nothing. Crafting a bit. Thinking about life a lot. The year is turning, you know...

This is my work table in my room. Alicia's wonderful and colorful book open to show you one of my dogs is in it! With credit and all! Okay, okay so I didn't really invent the pattern (it's from this book) but I most certainly knit it! Alicia was also one of the first people I met online and she will always have a special place in my (blog) heart. Every once in a while I check my stats and there will always be a few people over here via this post she made all most three years ago! That darn pig story! I'm still not sure what I think of the pig but it was given to Siiri...  

Oh...the very cool cup is from KeepCup and found via Anna who is also close to my (blog) heart! I even got some for my step sister and her guy...I find them amazingly cool! I could really use some in other colors as well... 

And very large reading glasses for me...

Pom-Pom's Around the Neck

 

I've had some time to mess around in my room.

Making Pom-Pom necklaces heavily inspired by this by WonderWonder found via Lena.   

Merry Christmas Everybody

 
 
  

Party Hat?

 
NO! It's the tea cozy disaster! 

Made it waaaaayy to small. Urgh!

Never made one before.

Didn't use a pattern.

Or instructions.

But I restlessly threw myself into making another one.

Turned out a whole lot better.

Well at least it fits my tea pot.

Might not fit the reciever's tea pot?

Now come pick it up!

Elisabeth's fabric.  

Winter Colors

 
I went to skitsesamlingen in Køge yesterday to buy some Christmas presents in the museum shop and picked up those wonderful postcards by Per Kirkeby. I love the colors. And his art.

(The two cats were made out of my husbands old shirts.)  

In My Backyard

 
 

  

Thrift Scores

 

 
Embroidered table cloth.

Finlayson tablecloth.

Sonia Rykiel knit top.

All vintage.

All good.   

All very, very cheap.
 
 
  

Kooky-ness

My son made a "Swedish Chef" - his words - in school. He wanders around saying: "Ut a mit kök-kan!" Which he figures means "Get out of my kitchen!" in Swedish. 

My Grandma thrifted me the cute baby owl.

Yeah. Everybody's on the owl-wagon now.

And I played with "Paint".

Drawings By An Angry Teenager

I recently found these drawings made by me

when I was an angry teenager

or hurt

or sad

I also wrote a lot of...hmmm...words

mostly in English actually

they're odd

and angry

and hurt

and sad

Kind of painfull still

or maybe that's just because they suck!
