Hei alle sammen. Jeg har spennende nyheter!
Elisa Kolle (Lin & papir) og jeg har jobbet med dette en stund og jeg har bare hatt SÅÅ lyst til å fortelle det. Men nå er det altså klart og du kan få vite det.
Elisa og jeg har snekra sammen et norsk mesterskap i håndlaga. -Håndlaga 2011.

Det blir en konkurranse med åtte kategoriar; Redesign, barn, klær, smykker, tilbehør, til hjemmet, bilde og beste håndarbeidsblogg. Alle kan fritt nominere til konkurransen, og et dommerpanel vil velge ut ti finalistar i hver kategori. Så blir det åpen avstemning!

Monday in the studio

Hi!
It's me again.
I've had my studio day today. -Done some printing, some custom orders and made some pouches. I've finally found a new white colour that I'm satisfied with. I've tested it on 40 degrees Celcius and will try it on higher temperature later.

I've also made a new screen with the star design. -Can't wait to show you, but need to wait for some proper daylight to get the photos right. It's a quite normal star, but I just think stars are so cool at the moment!

And the Teacher from Hell print is back. Here's Mr Handsome posing in one.
Can't decide on which colours to choose for the female version, but the mens tee is in my shops right now. Etsy - Epla
If you are a female Teacher from Hell and would like a cool tee to go with the job. -Please let me know and I can print one for you!

I hope you will have a lovely week!

These lovely items are from the shop Kaftan Sarafan on Etsy. She is from Ireland and I love her designs!
She also made this beautiful treasury that made the frontpage of Etsy today. -I was lucky to be in it!
Thank you!

New teatowel

New teatowel in my shops!
Cowgirl from a vintage photo, printed on natural linen. Natural linen is a more sustainable alternative to cotton. It is actually slightly more eco friendly than organic cotton.
You can find it in my Etsy shop and my Epla shop.

Weekend project

I have bought myself an overlock sewing machine. I had fun this weekend sewing a blouse/dress for my daughter. I made it from a vintage bed linen I have found at a flea market.

Today is my studio day. Moa is home from the nursery today playing and helping me out with the printing.

We are talking about making another dress in several different fabrics that she shall choose.

The pattern for the blouse is bought from Stoff og stil.

I have made a new screen this weekend. It has some old prints like Inger the hen and the cowgirl but also a smaller pouch-perfect version of my sheep and a star. I would love to have a star print on a t-shirt. The star might have turned out to be not so successful, though. So it is possible that it can't be used. I will find out soon...

Have a lovely week!

Old Classics?

Black sheep tote, Etsy.

While going through my stacks, I came across some old prints. The designs have been rather popular and I've also had requests for them. Especially this first one with sheep. I can't undertsand why I have not found them those times I've been searching. (Of course, if you saw the mess my fabrics are in, I guess you would have understood.) But anyway, these totes are back in my shops. -Just in case you have been looking for them!

Green tote with white sheep, Epla.

I'm having my studio day today, the sun is shining through my windows and we're going to have pancakes for dinner, so it's a good day here!

I hope you'll have a lovely week!
