I really love my newest book . It is  British textile designer Karen Nicol’s  very unique collection of objects, swatches, trimmings that – directly or indirectly – inspire her beautiful textile designs. They are personal, and unusual and show various techniques such as ‘tufts’ ‘fagotting’ ‘pleats’ and more. And though this book isn’t a ‘how to’ book, it …

The weather report says it’ll be warmer next week. As much as I’ve been moaning about not being able to wait until nicer weather arrives, I’m not prepared – I have nothing to wear. Thank god we just did this quick pattern in our May issue of Martha Stewart Living, that won’t take long to make. I …

I really don’t like the month of April. After a long (and I mean l o n g this year ) winter, you always think it’ll finally be Spring, and sure enough it still is grey, rainy and chilly. So this year, I’m ignoring the rain with these fun things I found. This already makes …

So when I just received another order (psst, it’s for Blake), I just had to share this with everyone. …

It is still cold in the mornings as I’m waiting for the train , and I always am quite jealous of all the men with their touchscreen compatible gloves checking their iphones, as my fingers are freezing. I just could never get myself to buy any of those gloves, as they usually look like – well, …

We’ve long been admiring Fog Linen’s products. But even though some of our favorite shops in New York carry a few of their things, there was never everything we had seen and loved at the tradefair. So I was so happy to find out about their online shop. Not only do they have all those …
