Uldpedulle (Oups I did it again!)

Uldpedulle er en kær lille garnbutik i Tisvildeleje; den ejes af Susanne Fogh, og hendes garner er delikate små »Dutter« som hun indfarver selv. 

Uldpedulle's hæklede Fane, der hænger på facaden over døren

Altså kan man i denne lille sommerlige Alladins Hule købe merino, silke og mohair mærket: »Tørrede valnøddeskaller - 1ste bad«, »Løgskaller - 1:1«, eller »Tørrede Birkeblade - 3die bad, overfarvet m. indigo«. Hvem kan stå for det?!

Lille sjal, syet sammen af hæklede »Granny Squares«

Stort trekantet sjal af blandede tynde garner, hæklet sammen i kraftig gul mohair

... ihvertfald ikke jeg. Dælme ikke let at vælge, men til syvende og sidst endte jeg med disse i tasken:

Og idag har jeg så siddet og freestylet hvad der endte som et lille bogmærke:

 

– med hjælp fra gamle restgarner. Disse totrådede måtte jeg dog skille ad for at matche Uldpedulles fine tynde kvaliteter.

...øhmn, ku' jeg få lov at sy ...

nej? ... ok. Jeg venter bare.

Quiltefeber!

Så skete det! Efter at have taget tilløb til patchwork og quilteteknikker i ååårevis, landede jeg med et blødt fnumb! i en bunke af blød økovat, libertystoffer og små vidunderlige quiltenåle. Og jeg ka slet ikke stoppe igen!

 Mit allerførste home-made quiltetæppe er 100x200 cm, lidt skævt nogle steder, men blødt og lækkert som bare fa'en, og halvvejs quiltet. Og halvt begyndt ... som det siges, så mon ikke man liiiige skulle sætte et ... nej TO nye tæpper igang. JO!

Det der med at samle stof og finde farver kan gøre mig helt bims af lykke!

 

...åååhhh, yndlingsfarver!

Stykkerne er nu vasket, og venter på at blive strøget og skåret. Denne gang tror jeg jeg vil prøve andre quiltemønstre; måske sashikocirkler.

En del af stofferne på de tre projekter er rester - heriblandt Libertystofferne fra Tout Petit på Værnedamsvej; de øvrige mønstrede er fra Garn-iture på Vesterbrogade.

...

Finurlige Finesser og Karen Marie underviser i denne uge i broderi og tekstiltryk. Jeg følger med på Instagram, og drømmer om at deltage næste gang :-)

Pipe Cleaner Elf

With a little yarn, felt and some pipe cleaners, and some fairy heads and clogs from the crafts store, we made some very easy elves.

Hoot Hoot

Many a fledget Coffee Owl have flown from the nest lately. Last weekend I emptied the shelves of yellow yarn, and grapped some pink, white and earthy tones  too.

Time to expand the palette.

Coraline Collected

Little Me is now a real doll. Her characteristic yellow rain coat and black tulle skirt are currently at the tailor's (and those guys are very busy at the moment – making graphic design instead of doll's clothes, but please don't tell her ;o)

She's posing on some new books I got for the studio: Letterpress and Los Logos. And her hair—not the official Coraline hair-cut, but Little Me likes wearing it long. For now.

:-)

An Arm And A Leg ...

Vacation time is over, and work is abundant. Which means more hours spent at the office, less wearing cross word puzzles and pj's. I'm not complaining. I read the other day, that Danish people are among the most vacating in the World. You shall hear only gratefulness from me.

Still working on Coraline's Little Me, her head is done, admittedly needing a haircut though, and this is how far I am with her body.
:-)
Hope you are well.

Making Faces

Making the Coraline doll »Little Me«, from a pattern found on Etsy by SewLolita. So far I've made her head, her hair and the skeleton for her body. An'a havin'a great time ;-)

Wanna thank the guys at Isabellas for featuring The Coffee Owl in this month's Isabellas magazine :-)

the Coffee Owl featured in BoligMagasinet

My Mr. handycrafted CoffeeOwl is happy to announce his first feature in the Danish home and living magazine BoligMagasinet.


Days later another Danish magazine asked to bring a feature. I feel very greatful. First orders have already been shipped.

Thank you so very much :-)

John Kenn draws monsters on Post-It notes. Wanted to buy one of his pieces, but —alas— all were sold out. (Congrats, Kenn, please draw more!)

W.I.P.

Stayin' in the crafty department to make more Coffee Owls. Have a wonderful Coffee Owl-opportunity comin up, but can't say more until March ;o)

I've been so eager to share these newly purchased glass eyes. It's been quite the pursuit, I have seen many many many glass eyes, and there they were—just the right ones (and in great many sizes and colors), and my heart jumped with joy. Not to mention when they arrived, purchased glass eyes being even prettier in real life.

Coffee Owls

These woolies are for a Christmas fair. Actually, I haven't found one yet, but I'm thinking it will come. Do you know of any? (in Copenhagen, preferably ;-).

Gabrielle Raaff makes awesome watercolors.

Change is coming

I haven't been very busy here lately—my mind has been preoccupied. In a huge way. Change is coming; it's exciting and breathtaking. And it is going to be wonderful. I'm sure of it. —not going to spill the beans just yet, but it won't be long:)

Made a misteltoe. From felting-wool, scraps af yarn and wooden beads.

I wish you a wonderful weekend. Please pay a visit to Amy Atlas. Sugar Art—yum. And to Victor Dubrovski (and animals). Via Slowprogress.

A little preview

More shops - isn't this pretty? + Super-cool Bristol-grafitti-artist Banksey. + Nordic light at Lumetta.

Self Control and Rough Weather

In need for indoor shoes, she had only one request: Kitty!

Fun, and very easy to make, with leftover felt from the Tea-House. I'd like to make more, but it will have to wait a while. I have a few unfinished projects :)

Thank you all, for your sweet, encouraging words for the shop:)
Please, see these beauties from Geninne. She also has a blog.

It's rough out today. I'll stay in, try all my teas and bounce on my new chair:))
