lip blam

i change bags like there's no tomorrow, and when i forget to transfer my chapstick (ahem, lip balm) it's all i can think about until i get home. lo and behold, kate spade saturday has made a lip balm holder necklace! if i were to couple this with my pen necklace, all i would need is someone to make a kleenex (tissue) necklace and...jackpot!

ps. i started writing "lip balm" as the title of this post, but my typo of "lip BLAM" is so much better, HA.

hello & hej

i've been really busy lately with multiple projects, but my wish list projects still pop up on my mind every now and again. hello & hej is something i'm working on to as a means to share more of my danish life with friends and family (and you, if you like :) more to come...

oh happy day business cards

have you seen these business cards on oh happy day today??? they are so much fun, with their colorful confetti-like edge-painting! and jordan has even posted a tutorial if you were to create your own, hm...

ace & jig midi skirt

speaking of black and white, as markdowns continue on ace & jig's FW2013 collection i cannot help but keep checking back on this black pindot midi skirt. i wish i owned swaths (?) and swaths (?) of this fantastic fabric and since i don't, i think this versatile lengthed, pocketed, contrast *elastic* waist skirt is the next best thing.

black & white bunnies

you may have noticed, i LOVE bunnies, and how adorable are these black and white prints??? they have so much personality in their simplicity. screenprinted in the UK and available at archie's boutique.

loopy mango

i like big knitting since it takes less time and is easier to hold, but WHOA loopy mango has the most gigantic knitting ever--it must take about 5 minutes! i both want a blanket this fabulous and also never want a blanket this fabulous, as i would be too worried it would get dirty or snagged and i'd forever hide it off to the corner. however, if someone were to GIVE me one, i would definitely put it to good use ;)

happy 2014!!!

hello, and happy new year!!! hope 2013 ended well and you had a lovely holiday, wherever in the world you were :)

bunnies!!!!!

if you haven't already heard me screaming it from the rooftops, i am SOOO excited that my handmade bunnies are available at the adorable shop amelia. erin is just the sweetest IG mama friend, and i am so happy that not only does she love them but the first shipment sold out in only a week! i just sent another batch so you might still have a chance at snagging one before christmas. (otherwise make sure to peruse the site, there are so many fantastic gifts on there!)

thanks for all the bunny love, it really means so much!!! HUGS xx

ps. erin's IG pic has over 130 likes--i feel so social media popular! ;)

6 degrees [of postcards]

the current show at light grey art lab is the 6 degrees show, and i am fortunate to be one of the artists donning their gallery walls. the theme was to design a postcard showcasing where you live and sending 100 of them to LGAL to be redistributed to all artists involved, so that you have THE BEST MAIL DAY EVER when you get a giant pack of postcards from artists around the world! (photo via LGAL)

i styled my artwork to mimic minimalistic vintage scandinavian design and drew my color palette from the always lovely nyhavn. i wish i could be there in person to check it out, but to all my minneapolis friends, be sure to stop by--it'll be up until january 17th. (and feel free to show some copenhagen love by buying a print here tak!)

December...pop, fizz, clink!

how is december already half over??? only two weeks until the new year and 10 days until christmas??? [insert home alone face here]

maeve has designed a festive and celebratory december calendar for you this month! i hope you moseyed over to her blog already and downloaded it two weeks ago, but if you are behind on every possible to do like me, then high five to all you procrastinators out there! find all versions of december below, have some bubbly, watch fireworks and celebrate the holidays in style. cheers to the rest of 2013 and we can't wait to unveil our new calendar next month!

happy halloween...?

photo taken two seconds after oliver "jumped" (he doesn't know how to get his feet off the ground yet ;) into my face resulting in a split lip and splitting headache (see what i did there?). it's ok, it's funny now, especially the part where we never really got a good picture in his costume this year, oops. if you can't tell, he was a happy lil cloud with ribbon rain and i made it with the intention of turning it into a pillow for his room afterwards. yay instant costume re-use!

hope everyone had a fun halloween eating all the sweet treats your heart desires! (i don't mind that halloween isn't celebrated in denmark but man, i really miss those mini candy bars)

2014 calendar theme

maeve and i are excited to announce that our 2014 calendar collaboration theme will be...ANIMALS!!! i cannot wait to get started, animals are sooo much fun to draw. to help us out, please let us know your favorite animals, and fill out our short (seriously, SHORT) survey about what you liked or would love to see this year. PLUS, filling out the survey gives you a chance to win a lovely printed version of the 2014 calendar, and i heard the paper that maeve picked out is crazemazing! (if you'd like to see a summary of our 2013 calendar, click here) thanks everyone! xx

wool and the gang tartan

during the chilly winter months, my time spent knitting definitely increases. it's such a cozy and easy way to relax. i've always loved the chunky wool and the gang knitted projects but this season i'm really drawn to their tartan collection. someone pointed out my ravelry queue is quite long (it's not really a queue so much as a list of bookmarks) but i think i need to add a tartan project on there for this winter, the knitted designs turn out so fun!

secret holiday

i LOVE this simple "it's ok" affirmation banner by secret holiday! i sort of wish i had a mini one at all times, what a fantastic reminder. she has other great banners too, see them all here.
