Wednesday, December 26th, 2012I hope your days of Christmas are peaceful and blessed with smiles and laughter. This is one of the Christmas ornaments I made for the swap.

Thursday, December 20th, 2012It´s become a treasured tradition amoungst my artist-friend in the Usa and Cananda, to have a handmade Christmas ornament exchange.

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012My youngest sister and her boyfriend wanted Christmas-curtains for their kitchen a few years ago. That started the production of a whole collection of personalized gifts for them. Since they are each others´ chosen family, that became the name of this little collection. It´s indeed a very small collection, as they are the only ones [...]

And of course it´s Edvard´s [...]
