It's Halloween time again

It's that time of the year again. Halloween has become something that we now also celebrate in Sweden. I found these images via Handmade Charlotte while researching for a project with my local library.

 Funnie shaped leaves on the first picture but since the leaves are tumbling down I wanted to include them. I like my craft to be achivable for kids and that is what I like about picture number two.

Take a piece of cardboard, score it and bend it an draw a face. Great

The last picture is a great combo of dream mask, the shark and then there is the apple that is the realistic version. I'm making prototypes myself now inspired by Day of the Dead in Mexico.

Midsummer in Sweden

So this photo is taken the night before midsummer. It is 9.30 in the evening and I have not altered the picture at all. So serene and beautiful, but I'm asking myself if the long winters are worth it. I haven't
got the answer but I'm enjoying the summer. Staying up late sewing actually

VillaPernilla had a day out and met customers

This Saturday Högsby my local town( well with a population of 1800 people and the borough has a total of 6000 I'm not sure what to call it) had a small festival to celebrate the town. I thought it would be a nice idea to have a stall and meet some customers. So many returning customers ! Good to get feedback on the products and to get some new ideas. I should try to reach out and do more craft shows and markets so if you readers have any suggestions of good places please let me know. Many of my readers are international so it might be a bit tricky:)

I have now invested in a small party tent. I think it works better against shade than to keep rain out. 

I decided to have big sale on my cushions and they sold very well. Great to have some more storage space here at home but Leon my son felt a bit attached to the cushions and jumped into the old laundry basket.
