Stig Lindberg

Another of my favorite designers, the late great Swedish designer Stig Lindberg. Like all good designers he worked in ceramics, glass and textiles as well as being equally successful as an industrial designer, painter, and illustrator. Plus he was a pretty interesting looking bloke. I am all for the glasses, bow tie and pipe combo!

If I could have a piece of his work right now I would have to say I'd take a plate like this one I found on this great japanese website that he designed for Gustavsberg Ceramics.


If only I had paid attention in Japanese classes! Can you imagine!

I wish that each day had more hours sometimes... Quilts by Swim Notes

I think I need this too...

Orange Gingham Vintage Half Apron with Cross Stitch!!! Maybe my pink apple apron needs a friend? Oh, 66 Stitches I love this.

In lieu of Easter eggs...

10 little free form crochet pieces from Portugal by Kjoo on Etsy. Even more AMAZING work on Flickr.

Cross stitch love on Etsy

I'm contemplating buying this.... how lovely is it! It's for sale in Sansku's Etsy store... I'm thinking of working in linen for the new charts I'm working on...

New designs and some old friends.

So I've been attempting to put the new stock up on Etsy and I'm just not happy with the photos at the moment. I attempted to shoot them outside yesterday in that awful heat and nearly passed out. I'm being picky really. I have to get over myself and just bung them up. They have new packaging too.

Also, I am thinking of putting together a little book of patterns (like this one) together for sale in the next week - 5 designs. What does everyone think of that?

I was also going to put together a pattern and how to booklet for a few cross stitch biscornu's. As well as a pattern book of cross stitch alphabets....

Any thoughts readers? Maybe a pattern for a baby sampler?? Hmmmm.

Great little jacket. I think anyway.

How awesome is this little jacket! I have a little crush on it.
And it's only, like, US $355!!! Cheers to Cynthia Rowley. Boo's to the price.


But it does have some excellent Ric Rac all over it.

That's a trend that has to begin again. Ric Rac all over everything!
