Handmade Baby -Part 1

 

With a mother who is a lover of all things handmade, little Ivar of course needs to have some handmade items!
Thank you to Christiane with renna deluxe for this wonderful green baby body!
You can order your own here.

Lovely map wrapping from renna deluxe.

I have made bedlinen from fabric remnants and printed scraps. It goes well with the old baby bed we painted in a fresh spring green colour.

Paper bags for Valentines Day

I have printed my tattoo heart design on paper bags. Here's an example on how it can be tied up.

I left the banners open so you can write whatever's on your heart (!) on them before you wrap up the gift for your loved one(s).

You can buy the bags from FestFabrikken or from my Epla shop, STRAND.

We have a baby!

Our wonderful, new baby boy has finally arrived!
I'm looking so forward to brighter days and Spring together with him.

STRAND på Festfabrikken

 

Festfabrikken.no er ny forhandler av gavepapir fra STRAND!
Lise Aulie er kvinnen bak den ganske så nystartede Festfabrikken. (Nettbutikken som tar fest på alvor!) Men det stopper ikke der. Hun er også gründeren bak PartyPlanner som holder til i Mjøndalen. Her kan du leie alt fra partytelt til tallerkener, sumobryterdrakter og popcornmaskin.
Lise har en fantastisk energi og får mye spennende til å skje rundt seg. Ta en titt i butikken og på Facebook.

Popcornposer og sugerør fra Festfabrikken. Bildet er stylet og fotografert av Beate Hemsborg med den nydelige bloggen, beatehemsborg.blogspot.no.

På Festfabrikken får du alt du trenger til festen!

Necktie No 29

I have to admit that I really love this necktie. The colours, the checkered fabric and the combination with the black typography print.

(I really should have given it to my boyfriend...)
Instead, it's for sale in my Epla shop STRAND, for you.

Perhaps something for Valentines day?
(Paper with white sheep, STRAND.)

Rabbit

I'm spending these calm days working on some new designs. Here's a sneak peak at the new rabbit design. The model is our cute and friendly rabbit, Noah.

I welcome any suggestions on new animals to try out. What's your or your childrens' favorite animal?

New studio

Mr Handsome has been making me a new studio. I'm slowly moving in, and I'm not finished organising everything.

Not a  very fancy study, but I love the bright corner in front of the window. That will be a great spot to shoot some product photos.

I'm in the middle of a small nesting project. We're also painting the baby bed. Guess which colour?

The baby is due in one week now!

In the middle of all this, I'm also thinking and planning how I can make my business grow the next year. There's time to make some new designs and order supplies. But of course, in between. Most of all there will be a new lovely baby in the house.

Waiting...

Putetrekk i Kamille

Det var hyggelig å finne putetrekkene mine i ukens Kamille!
Takk til Line Dammen som valgte ut og Marcela Recondo som harstylet og tatt bildene.
Marcela's blogg finner du HER.
-Og putene kan du kjøpe i eplabutikken min, STRAND. (Fru Ku er dessverre utsolgt for tiden.)

Tote giveaway

There's an advent calendar giveaway over at the A butterfly in my hair blog.
Today you have the chance to win a gorgeous pair of copper bird earrings made by Joanne from England (with the Etsy shop: JOY pure and simple) and a hand painted watercolour tote made by me.

I'm having a calm day in front of the stove today. It's cold and freezing outside and I'm on a part time sick leave from work because of problems with my body during my pregnancy.
Mr Handsome is covering the Christmas markets for me this season, so you will still be able to buy my designs at DEJM in Oslo next weekend.
