Laptop stand


Make Your Own Recycled Cardboard Laptop Stand. This is so smart. You know you shouldn´t have your laptop in your lap, and on the table it can get too hot - it need a fantray under it or it need some air circulation. With this stand it will be way better then all those books or whatever you balance your laptop on :))

Silly Betty

This is Silly Betty, my guardian angel. She´s made of some red rope, buttons, pieces of an old sheet and  fluffy wool. She is so coco and so cute and she´s protecting my home from burglars and salesmen :)

Did you run out of buisness cards? Or do you too think the buisness cards you can buy is ugly and boring? Make your own from recycled paper instead. HERE  is the link.

Paint with mosspaint, and the moss will become a piece of art. I will definately try this.


How cool is this!




I keep picking driftwood, smooth nice rocks, shells..anything that capture my eye on beach or in forest that I just cannot resist to bring back home. too beautiful to leave, it´s treasures. HERE is a link to how to make this gorgeous mobile. oh there is more ideas on that page, check it out! The other pic is one of my own little altars. The shells, the driftwood and even the little piece of glass is from a beach in Portland, Maine . 



What to do a rainy day? Well I made some jewellery. I have lots of jewellery that I never wear, and sometimes I buy a necklace just because it has got ONE nice pearl in it that I fall in love with. So sometimes I make new jewellery from the old . The old fashioned keychain is from the 60´s. It has transformed from being a simple keychain to a charm with my favouriteword "transformation" written on it, and some blingbling  on the side.

Amaizing bottle caps projects HERE - I just got to save bottle caps again after seeing these inspiring projects!
My son Jonatan had hundreds and hundreds of bottle caps and he wanted to throw them away. Instead we glued them on masonite. We decided to make the flags of our favouritecountries. It took a while, and sometimes we had to get more caps in a certain color, but we managed to make this fantastic (and heavy) piece of art with flags from at least 7 countries. It was so cool and a nice way of reusing something you normally throw away.

To me being creative has nothing to do with  proving something. To me it´s more about having fun, and I seldom use expensive stuff when I craft. This doll is made of pure trash, old jewellery, a scarf that was so old it broke in to a zillion pieces. Take what you have and make something, if you have fun while doing it, it will show.
