Keeping up with my creative life

Things I crafted for myself and friends.

Small drawstring bag, perfect when traveling. 

I needed a case for my iphone/glasses and this is what came out. Hand printed and sewn in cotton and felted wool with braided cord.
 

A toilet/vanity bag in fun and colorful striped cotton. 


A crochet blanket/rug for a good friend's little newborn baby girl. It was crocheted in wonderful soft wool that made me want to keep it for myself, to snuggle into on lovely cold Sunday mornings..

Wishing you a creative weekend!

Project cozy

Forget about the other granny squares I made last week, these are the ones I'm working on now, or whenever in front of the tv/laptop watching series and documentaries. Things needs to be a bit more yellow, orange and red around here or I'll die of boredom. The thing is, I absolutely adore white rooms but sometimes after a very, very long winter my mind is set on sunny and warm colors for natural reasons of course. 





Wishing you a lovely sunny Sunday!

Paper lanterns

Today I'll share something that inspires me at this moment and perhaps because I've just been to a friends wedding makes me even more inspired!
Round paper lanterns in wonderful dreamy white or in this wonderful floral palette from Lily Ng.



I wonder what I'll come up with under this inspiration boost I'm having?
If it's any good, I'll post it here. 


I made my hair pretty for the wedding (note. it was my friends wedding, not my own ;))

Longing for summer

Lovely things and fresh thoughts that brighten up my mornings.
My latest collage of things from etsy I want and adore,

Crochet in progress

Plenty of shawls and other crochet garments in new colors. They need buttons first. Then a photo shoot. Then listing. 

New favorite yarn in wool. I'm not sure what to make of it... Oh why not another shawl? They're fun to make and is very useful and divers.

My pink and yellow period

The 3 latest drawings made have been in these pale pink, yellow with bits of grey colors. I don't know why but I'm just feeling drawn to these colors right now. Who knows I may get stuck with it or maybe I'll be drawn to green and purple. But then again no, those colors are kind of cold and sad. I'm a happy kind of girl, I like happy bright colors (when I'm not into ink) and silly, happy old songs. And summer with sunny days of course! It's hard in a country as Sweden when most of the year is cold, dark and sometimes lonely and depressing. 

In the meantime I'll daydream of 
The Trees Of Light where all the magic in the universe gather to feed the world with wisdom.

Oh btw, I've changed my blog address/URL to my name www.carolinagronholm.blogspot.com so if you have me linked to my old address catalinacat it wont work unless you copy and paste the new address, so please do, thanks!
(I've decided to make a test blog before the move)

De 3 senaste illustrationerna har fått färger i ljusrosa och gult med lite grått. Jag känner mig dragen till dessa färger nu så ni kommer att få se en hel del mer i detta!

Paint + Wood

= Love

I finished 2 projects. Finally. I started with the Jumping Cat painting this summer and finished not only that one but also Yellow Boy Cat. I may do some more if inspiration kicks in. Will be in shop soon.

And I like to thank you all who is participating in my giveaway! I never expected that so many would take part in this - It's very much appreciated! 





Färg + Trä = Kärlek

Jag har avslutat 2 projekt. Äntligen. I somras började jag med Jumping Cat och när jag var färdig med den så blev också Yellow Boy Cat till. Jag kanske gör fler om inspirationen kommer.

Jag vill tacka alla som är med i min giveaway, jag är väldigt tacksam!
