One last new design for now.
I’ve always loved the iconic Swedish milk packaging (the Arla milk cow); the colors and the design are fun and playful, so I designed this kitchen tea towel (Tetra Mjölk) to give it a bit more prominence in the kitchen.
And our little grey bird pillow, at last!
Crustacean tea towels done, and in the shop!
New fabric in, and crayfish/crustacean tea towels in the works! I tweaked the water pattern since the last preview so it had more color to it than just line… we’ve been fantasizing about recovering one of our chairs in this print!
I’ve set up each trivet listing in the shop to explain how to go about requesting your tile trivet be set in the cork backing, with photos of each, while the original tiles with just the cork feet are still available.
(Essentially, just contact me!)
In spite of the weekly snowfall we still seem to be getting, it’s starting to feel like spring up here in Maine! Wore my lighter winter jacket yesterday for the first time since fall, enjoying the warmth of the sun. Makes me long for a Swedish Spring!

Janssons Frestelse makings!
Finishing touches on skirt number 1 of 2 woolen A-line skirts I am sewing for a Portland lady. I love that she chose a bright purple lining for this one.
I recently discovered that Google Maps had found their way to Sweden… or more importantly, Google Street View. After scrolling through streets in my mom’s home town, and the village I went to school in, I found myself feeling terribly nostalgic. It also made me realize that maybe I ought to share more of just WHY I find Sweden so inspirational to my work. From here on out, I’m planning to share more of the photos I’ve taken there. This one in particular is of a little fishing village, not too far from the school I attended, on the west coast of little Öland.
