Inspiration: Arne & Carlos

If you're a knitter, you've probably heard of the Scandinavian design duo Arne Nerjordet and Carlos Zachrison. They are perhaps most well known because of their Christmas book 55 Christmas Balls To Knit. They, however, do more than knitting. They pretty much do all sorts of crafting, from crochet, sewing and embroidery, to all sorts of other stuff like gardening. Just really cool dudes...they look like really fun to hang out with, you know?

I just recently purchased their Make Your Own Ideabook, and it was truly a pleasure to see their own journals and get a glimpse of where they get their inspiration. (Spoiler: Everywhere!) Plus, they also show step-by-step instructions on how to make your own art journal.







If you're into any sorts of crafting, do check out their YouTube channel. Here are some of my fave videos of theirs:

Oh wow, I had no idea you could make your own books, what a nice way to keep a journal nearby for when inspiration strikes you! :)

Hope that you are having a nice start to your week :) We finally got some cooler weather after our weekend heatwave, so I've been enjoying that!

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
