I made a small collection of pin cushion rings for a craft market. They’re actually super useful!

The core is a wine cork, so you’ll never be able to stab deep enough to hurt yourself!

Here are my jeans:)

Lately i have been obsessed with the idea of putting all of my small embroidery samples or other found patches on a single pair of jeans. i made those jeans wider last summer with blue cotton fabric wedges. I love the idea of eternity jeans, that i would just change the fit of these jeans and remove or add parts to fit me over time, and have all of my textile ideas collected, visable and wearable. It has to look god tho...

15 questions

Tagged by @dragonflylady77 (thank you <3 )

Are you named after anyone?

Nope.

When was the last time you cried?

Thursday, on my way home from work. I was Tired. Got home and spent half an hour face down on the floor just inside my front door, still wearing shoes and jacket and one glove (then yet another half hour, still on the floor but sitting up, before I got up).

Do you have kids?

No. And no plans of having any.

Do you use sarcasm?

Me? No, of course not. Never.

What is the first thing you notice about someone?

I am very very bad at noticing things about people, period. I am bad with faces, so maybe ... hairstyles? I don't know. If they do something threatening, then that behaviour is the first thing I notice about them, but going on looks alone? I guess whatever stands out.

What is your eye colour?

Blue, but the greyish, boring kind.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings. I like happy endings and very much dislike scary movies.

Any special talents?

I can write mirrored.

Where were you born?

At the hospital.

What are your hobbies?

Depends on what I feel like doing for the moment. General rule is that I like crafts, preferably things that a) takes time and b) gets a result I can be proud of on the first try.

Do you have any pets?

No. Wouldn't be fair on the pet, as I'm away from home for many hours per day.

What sports do you play/have played?

I am not a sporty person. I basically did what I had to do to pass gym class in school, but even that was reluctantly. Oh, and I played basketball in middle school because I was tall, but I sucked at it.

How tall are you?

177 cm.

Favourite subject in school?

Bild & slöjd (art and ... uuuh, what's it called, woodworking/sewing class?)

Dream job?

I don't know. Anything that pays well, where I have good colleagues and a good boss and that I can stop thinking about the second I walk out the doors at the end of the day.

削りあがり

.

木へら 右利き、左利き

クリ

.

.

ぱっと見た感じオーソドックスな木のへらなんだと思います。直線的なかたちの中に、細やかにカーブやたくさん��面取りを施しています。使う時、そのかたちの意味をじんわり感じつつ、スイスイお料理してもらえたら嬉しいなと思います。

.

経年も使う人それぞれの動作の癖や使い方が木の表情に表れます。これがまた面白い。道具差しからスっと抜き取った時、育ったな〜と眺めるのも愉快。

.

使い始めはちょっと染みみたいなのが付いただけでもドキドキするかとしれないけど、それでいいんです。臆せずどんどん使って、かっこよい相棒にしてもらえたらいいなと思います。

.

そんな木のへら。

使うの愉しいよ。

När jag och min lillebror föddes sydde vår mamma varsin julstrumpa till oss med våra namn och födelseår. Min är röd med en broderad julgran på och Oscars är grön med två paket på. Mormor sydde mammas strumpa som också hänger uppe på jul, den är blå och har en stort C för Catharina på. När mormor skulle fira jul med oss första gången efter att morfar hade gått bort hade mamma gjort en strumpa till mormor också. Och när Felix firade första julen hos oss fanns det en strumpa hängandes där till honom också.

Jag kom att tänka på det här när jag läste Pernilla W Norens inlägg på instagram i helgen:

Jag har inte reflekterat så mycket över mitt slöjdande, mer än att jag vet att jag kommer från en slöjdande rad kvinnor i min familj. Jag älskar tanken att slöjd är omsorg. Ni kan ju tänka att ni slöjdar nästa gång ni tar tvätten eller bäddar sängen så kanske det blir lite roligare hahaha.

Det var min lilla anekdot för dagen, nu ska ni få bilder på tema SLÖJD inför jul (det är ju jättesnart!?)

och veckans låt är "Night Shift - Lucy Dacus"

DISCLAIMER: I bought these tools with my own money paying full price on Amazon. No one has paid for or coerced my opinion in any way.

Here are two Bradford pear spoons (one symmetric and the other right handed).

I had an online conversation about the quality and usability of certain mass produced tools and the Ukrainian company Hutsuls came up. I said that I own the $20 set that has the 3 knives, gloves, honing compound, strop, and canvas roll-up.

I promised to make a spoon using just that set.

1. This is using a Bradford pear branch that came down in a storm a month or two ago, and has been anchor sealed and sitting in my shed.

2. I put a sharpening on these tools using just w&d sandpaper glued to plywood, and honing compound on leather. They will be meeting the diamond and ceramic plates soon, and I will be adjusting some backs and bevels.

3. The handles are unmodified as are the be els and blade backs.

Here are my findings. They are absolutely worth $20.

The slöjd knife is 2-1/4" so it is more like the Mora #120 than the #106. If you hold them side by side the blade looks almost exactly the same.

The spoon hook knife is right handed. It has the sharp point like the old style Mora #164. And I can only assume the strong semi-circular shape is akin to the older style Mora #164 although I don't actually own one of those. So it differs from my current Mora #164's semi-carotoid shape. But it is similar in shape. It is also, a thicker blade material as well.

Thirdly it also includes a detail knife 1-5/8" long and 1/4" wide. This was a new tool to me. It goes around corners quite well.

Overall, all the blades cut well and held their respective edges. Through the two spoons I honed the hook knife about 5 strokes on green and 5 on pink. Tho other blades never felt like they needed it.

All that said the only "con" would be the handles. They are flat with some rounding. Hotspots and blisters. Enough said. Need wrapped or rehandled. :)
