Fun Stuff!

I just love things that make me smile! Since smiling is great, I will of course share some of these fun stuff with you.

I have for almost 5 years been loving the ceramics  of Tina Tsang. Her cheramics are all very beautifull but at the same time very grotesque. I just adore it...

You can buy the nice Tina Tsang ceramics at

Some years ago I fell in love with a silverplated barbie-arm-teaspoon. Unfornutenately I never bought it which I regret, because I have not been able to find it ever since. It looked so great, when the spoon was placed in a cup of coffee, as if a barbiedoll had been drowning! ;-) You can see some fun Barbie jewelry just below, which I really like a lot.

You can read more about the designers at http://www.margauxlange.com/

On etsy.com you can buy these funny and scary pots for plants. Which I like a lot, but I think my daughter might be a bit scared of them. However I find the "baby hands ceramic salt and pepper shakers" very very scary, and I would never even consider buying them. Buyt what's the diffenrence??? Is it only because of the skin colour? or would they also be too scary in white china? I am very curious to hear you opinion. Please tell me you thoughts!
Did you like some of these design? Or are you disgusted by the items? Do you find them beautiful, kitch or just ridiculous? Do you have funny items in your home? You are very welcome to give me your opinion.

Barbie Workshops

Jeg har nu haft den glæde af at holde 5 workshops på biblioteker i det Østjyske. Det har været nogle super hyggelige dage med nogle rigtig søde piger der ivrigt, ihærdigt og flittigt greb de 2½ timer an med nål og tråd i hånden og kreativitet i hjernen.
I Odder, Hedensted og Juelsminde blev barbiedukkerne efterfølgende udstillet i montre på bibiotekerne, hvorimod vi i Brædstrup og Horsens lavede lynudstillinger og fik taget klassebilleder af både dukker og piger.

Pigerne kom enten alene, med veninde eller i selskab med mødre, bedstemødre og en enkelt havde taget sin far med. Jeg vil gerne takke jer alle for nogle rigtig gode workshops.
I var alle rigtig dygtige!

During the last two months I have had the great pleasure of teaching and inspiring young girls to make Haute Couture for their Barbie dolls. The 5 sessions took place at the local libraries in the eastern Jutland. The girls were from 6-13 years old, some of them had already been sewing and some of them had never handled a sewing needle. They were all very eagerly, energetically and creative throughout the workshop. I thank all of you.
