Custom work

So I just had a request from a colleague to make her a custom handbag. In camo. And now I have ideas. Like I wanna try and make my own camo-print using fabric scraps. And put in lots of compartments and pockets. I'm gonna have so much fun with this one. 

Breaking up with carbs

I recently watched this documentary where they claim we don't need carbs and carbs causes low-grade inflammation in the body. They then went on to try out different diets like low carb and then low fat and see what happens. They saw that the low-carb diet made the test people lose weight and feel better with more energy. 

If you think about it it kind of makes sense because there are essential fats and proteins but no essential sugars. And to be honest, sugars are a very recent invention in our history. 

Here is a link to the documentary 'Fat fiction' if you wanna see for yourself.

I like eating food with no carbs. I have lost some weight and I'm not as hungry as I used to be. 

Finally

It´s finally done. My first handmade notebook with handmade paper. 

It was a really fun process and I will make more of them. When I have a few I´m gonna put them on my webshop and see if someone wants to buy them and give them a ew home. 

Recycling

I just love to take old stuff and make something new from it. And making my own paper is so much fun. After it dries you can use it as is or bind it into a notebook, which is surprisingly easy. You can find tons of bookbinding tutorials on youtube. This is the one I used for the bookbinding. 

Here is one for the actual papermaking process 

Zombie mode

I have been working the nightshift all weekend so now I feel a bit like a zombie. So after I make some food I will sit on my sofa and start to write a story while I wiggle my toes and pet my cat. 

Notebooks

I just got my first notebook bound and now I'm working on the cover. It will be cardboard covered in different fabric pieces. I will also include a pocket for pens. I will try to finish the sewing tomorrow so I can start to put everything together. 

I hope that I in the future will be able to sell these notebooks with recycled paper and fabric. 

Here is a good tutorial on bookbinding

My non walk-in closet

Today I finally did it. I cleaned my closet and ended up with some stuff to take to second-hand, a lot of stuff to re-fashion and some stuff I will try to sell. So time to put some items up on my webshop.
