Hello again my wonderful friends! At the start of the year, I closed my shop for a while to sort some things out, but it’s been up an running for over a month now and I haven’t mentioned it on here. So I thought I’d talk a little bit about the shop update with you in this post, tell you a little bit about the pieces I’ve added and stuff like that! The two above are my new favourites, they’re made in a new way that I got the idea for while I was creating another piece that didn’t go well at all. They’re also part of my new exploration of negative space, which has by the way really kind of revolutionised my creative style right now! They’re called “Krossa”. I’ve been giving all my new pieces of these negative space-creations Swedish names, I just feel like they fit the Scandinavian aesthetic more than anything I’ve created before, and I do think the Swedish language has a bunch of pretty words. “Krossa...

We’ve been living in this house for almost two years (????????+++++++) and while the dreams for how this garden would look were grand it is taking a while to get there. But we’ve created a flowerbed with just perennials where we’ve planted a hydrangea and a clematis that’s going to be fill our thuja with gigantic blue flowers. We’re getting there! Just two days ago we went to get some more flowers, and I think I might have discovered my new favourite flower ever.  Snapdragons/lejongap. I love the colours, they smell divine and they kind of remind me of lupins (which are beautiful but evil!!!!!!) and digitalis. I love both of those, but I think I prefer snapdragons. <3 We also bought loads of basil and thyme so that we can use fresh herbs all summer.  Sadly a few of the snapdragons broke on the way home, but I just brought them inside and put them in my favourite vase. SO CUTE.  It’s good because now I can sit and plan stuff surrounded by the s...

My inspiration was replaced by some kind of infection/flu a few weeks ago and I just haven’t been very active with anything. What I have been doing, however, is playing The Sims 4. I’ve been a little bit obsessed, especially with downloading custom content and making my simmies pretty + decorate their homes. :)))) *low-key caring more about my sims life than my own for a while* Okay, that last part isn’t completely true because I actually started getting annoyed that our house was so unfinished in comparison to my sims’ houses. I desperately wish it was as quick and easy to decorate in real life as it is in the sims (press shift and wallpaper an entire rooooooooooooooooooom <3). But I’m kind of motivated to work a little bit more on the home again! We’ve got quite a lot of wallpapering left to do (we wallpapered 4 rooms the summer we moved in and after that I’ve been like UGH WALLPAPERING NO WAY.) But don’t think this means you...

For the first time in 8 years I have a garden. I have walls of green outside of nearly every window, and I have my own patch of grass to lie on should I want to. And even though this garden doesn’t have as much flowers as I grew up with, it’s sosososo beautiful. The peonies have been in full bloom and they’re probably the most beautiful thing ever. On the other side of the house we have a mock orange with a million flowers. Smells so good!   Right below the mock orange we have a table filled with tiny little plants. I think all of them are edible, but if you want to know more you’re gonna have to ask my mum. Loads of tiny plants. We have tomatoes on the way! And a bunch of other things. At the front are the peppers I got from Alicia a while back.  Look! It says so on the little sign.  And we bought some lovage. (It’s really interesting translating all these names of plants into English haha, they have such weird names.) Also!!! We’ve decided on w...
