New invitation to a dinner party

So time to get to know some new women. Decided to have a small dinner party to accomplish just that! Here's the invitation, in Swedish :-) Don't forget, need an invitation, let me know and I'll be more then happy to help design it. Have a great weekend!



Made some posters for the childrens room

So, I thought it would be a great idea to make a poster that showed the childrens names, dates, time, weight etc in a decorative fashion. Will frame them and hang them on the wall in their respective rooms....ones they have one ;-)

A collage

So I made this attempt of two collages in celebration of our 5th anniersary and the fact that we also have been together for 10 years (where did the time go?). I'm actually pretty happy with how they turned out and the printers did a fine job. The collages are ment to be hung next to eachother as I used loads and loads of photos to spell out the word LOVE...it's cute! Also included a few words in each frame....the last one inclueds a poem by E.E. Cummings:

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)


I fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart
(I carry it in my heart)

My latest DIY project finished...

...and hung in our entrance above our newly purchased shoe cabinet from IKEA (had an assembly manual on 25 pages!!). I'm so happy with the clean and uncluttered look of our hallway. All it took was a little creative work like punching out approx. 100 paper circles, scrunching them up and gluing them on a a piece a paper, and 2 hours of assembling one single IKEA piece ;-) Oh, and the frames were also purchased at IKEA....


Happy crafting out there!

A decoupage stool, perhaps?

So feeling creative yesterday I decided to make my daughters rather boring stool a little more attractive. It's amazing what transforming power a little glue and a few pieces a paper can have!

Made a blanket...

...this afternoon and I'm stoked about how it turned out. Now the fabric is really what makes the blanket and I am as always totally in love with the fabric! My daughter seems to be a fan as well ;-) Take a look isn't it just fab!

The fabric is to die for...
...right?

My PilLove tags has found it's rightful place ;-)

Patchwork love...

Pimped IKEA stool

So Ebba needed a stool in the kitchen and friends of our had bought these stools at IKEA and they were super popular with their kids. I wanted to spice it up a little as it comes "au naturel". An hour later and some wallpaper and decoupaging et voilá the stool looks really snazzy....and yes I'm aware of the fact that the top piece is upside down...arrrgh!

New Owls Hand Made by PilLove

New owls are now available on the webshop. These are a hand made by moi and are a little bigger (approx. 10 cm) than the smaller ones I buy from Malasia and softer. More plush and big enough to rest a little tired head on. They all have names and a specific personality, which one will you choose?

Presenting Miss Paisley Dream

She loves her cup of tea and biscuit preferably in the garden in the spring sun - needless to say she is eagerly waiting for spring when her colors match!

Here's Lila Lilly

She's a sweet little thing with a more careful personality. She doesn't like to get dirty. She's more into combing hair and painting nails.

Et voilá! The new collection!

New owl in retro 70s fabric

Made new owl yesterday. This one has a piece of vintage 70s fabric on the belly of the owl. Super cute! and soft as a baby's butt ;-) Goes great together with the other owl. Both are for sale on the shop http://www.pillove.se/.

A new DIY project

So I've been missing my own note board/Inspiration board. Something to look at when inspiration fails or when I need a reminder of what's important or where that certain business card is or my favorite pen ;-) So here you have it. It's ok...it's not great. I used what was available at home. Used a piece of my indonesian batik fabrics and some ribbon I had lying around. For storage I used old tin cans that I dressed up in some nice patterned paper and some trimming and ribbons. Some stapling later and after a few frustrating screams...(mainly at my 2-year old for going nuts with all the tools and tearing apart just about everything I did)...voilá! it's done.

Last shade...I promise!

I had one last shade I hade to remake in my daughters room and here is the result. Pretty cute, don't you think? I wish I had a whole army of shades I could pimp. Visited some flea markets yesterday, didn't find a thing...and let me tell you I was DESPERATE, which shows just how bad Swedsh flea marets are. Well around here where I live anyway. Theres just a lot of crap that nobody wants in their own home so they leave it to the flea market. Like a dumpster of bad taste. I'm so disappointed! Maks me wanna move abroad all the more. An while I'm in this miserable state I might as well complain about the weather ;-) Where's spring? Where are my snowdrops and crocus? I'm getting tired of this looong and cold winter.

I'll listen to "The book of love" by Peter Gabriel and "A womans work" by Maxwell and all is well...
