Design is …
I have a long weekend coming up now – NICE! Normally at this time I would be in lovely Berlin attending TYPO Berlin. Always a great place to get new inspiration and updates on the design world. If you are curious to see what a design conference is all about then have a look at this wonderfull project, the TYPO Sketchnotes Book by Eva-Lotta Lamm. She is a user experience designer from London who has brought sketchnotes to perfection! So simple…
Free card for Mothers Day!
I designed this card some years ago for Mothers Day – and from my site stats I can see that people still look for it – via my old blog. I´ve uploaded it again – so now you can find my Mothers Day Card here. Just download the PDF-file, print on thick A4 paper – fold and cut – and you are all set for the 13 th of May! And now that you got the card for free – you can make a donation to Maternity Worldwide – or a loan that change lives via Kiva!
Happy Spring Reminder
This weekend I discovered how nature has exploded into colours, flowers and greens again – I really need to get out of the office more often! Well here´s a small reminder to myself and everybody else from my photoshoot this weekend.
Room for my Schoolgirl
We recently upgraded my daughters room to a Room for a Schoolgirl – now that she is 8 years old. Her room is quite small – and as she grows her collection of stuff grows even more!!! – so I’m constantly on the outlook for clever storage solutions for small spaces. I will keep posting the images I find to my Room for my Schoolgirl board on Pinterest. All images above can be found in my board – but are originally from here.: Frames Wallpaper by Graham & Brown. DIY Ikea bed on kitchen units – via Ikea Family Live. Very clean and very tidy room – for inspiration only :) via Trendey.com. And a great gallery wall in a childs room by Hustler of Culture. I´m planning step by step to incorporate some of these ideas into her room. Here at Kenziepoo you can see what her room looked like some years ago.
New Flavours
I stopped smoking – again - and ever since I´ve been a little obsessed with food, coffee, cookies and liquorice ( and I´ve also been a little bit grumpy! ) Well my new found interest in food was a great occasion to finally get hold of The Flavour Thesaurus, which have been on my wishlist for a while – both because of the beautiful cover and it´s guide to combining flavours. Can´t wait to discover new flavours – my old favorites so far are; avocado & mayo, toast & butter, strawberries & cream, pear & goatchese – what´s your favorite combo?
Cupcake Workshop
Some weeks ago my daughter and I spend a lovely afternoon at Cupcakefabrikken here in Århus. We attended a workshop, where the freshly baked cupcakes were ready to be decorated with fondant and frosting in all the colours of the rainbow – combined with all sorts of decoration and eatable glitter. Since I hate baking I thought this was the perfect way to “bake something” with my daughter and we had a lot of fun as you can tell from our results. I highly recommend a workshop at Cupcakefabrikken if you live near Aarhus – and the cakes were off course not only pretty but also very delicious – and sweet!
Current Colour Crush
At the moment I’m completely smitten with the colours and details in Julia Rofman’s handwoven beaded bracelets. I’m just learning how to use a bead loom - but not sure I have the patience to add the last finishing touches like tassel ends and silver claps – so I’m also adding Julia’s creations to my wishlist – just in case!
Travel Views
Yesterday I received a newsletter with some wonderful views on travel and vacation – so I decided to combine some of them with my photos from our recent trip to Thailand. So here´s some pure & sunny eyecandy for you. Have a happy weekend!
Wearable French Eye candy
Ohhhh these silk scarfs by french design duo Milleneufcentquatrevingtquatre – makes my heart beat a little bit faster. I can totally see myself wearing one of their pieces! So if one of my dear readers or dear Santa wishes to spend 295$ on me – then you can find all their designs here… and I promise to wear it every single day or to frame it! Aren´t they just gorgeous and totally inspiring?
Tiny Showcase print
I´ve been a bad blogger lately – due to hectic days at the studio combined with beeing under the weather. So now I´m being kind & gentle to myself to recover again – which means short days at the studio and small treats. One of my small treats is this print by Yellena James – I couldn´t resist the colours! Found via a long time favorite Tiny Showcase. I´ve been subscribing to their newsletter for ages and have collected a handful of prints over the years from their site – always fresh, affordable and high quality prints. I´ll try to get back into the habbit of posting on a more regular basis again – and already have new fresh finds ready to share – so please don´t give up on me!
