I’m going to make up for that, because quite frankly, I want to, and also I count on being able to rediscover the things I made earlier in here, on the blog. This messenger bag was something that I made previously in a different combination of fabrics – the messenger bag from mmmcrafts - and yay to her for putting the tutorial out there for all of us to benefit from! This one was made for my mother’s birthday, and I love this fabric combination. The main fabric is babycord with small flowers and the lining is Nicey Jane Lindy Leaf in the blue colourway. The trim is Michael Miller bias tape. As you can see I made a small lined pouch to go with it. A year ago, I made a quilt for Frida. With two girls in the house, making one quilt isn’t going to get me a long way, so of course, there had to be a second one. For this one as well, I used a charm pack from Moda, and I cannot remember the name of it. I do like this one, but I personally like Frida’s quilt a little better than this one – it has more warmth to it. All the sources that taught me the techniques, are found in the previous quilt post. Next up was my bridal purse. It’s made from the same silk that I used to make the corsage of my bridal dress, and I used the same pale blue fine silk lining as well. I used a frame and pattern from U-handbag – The Easy Peasy Purse - you’ll find it about one third down the page. And I used a tutorial of her’s as well – “Purse frames demystified” as well as a YouTube tutorial that shows a woman attaching the frame to a purse – see it here. It’s always a matter of checking out the different sources of information and finding my own way of doing it, but I didn’t find it too difficult. Also, it was just right for our big day. Now, another thing I made for the wedding was the dresses for the three little bridesmaids – Ronja, Frida, and my niece Marlinde. At the time of the wedding they were 3, 4, and 7 years old, and I wanted the dresses to have different colours but the same style. I decided to go with an Ottobre pattern, #25 from 3/2010, the Chopin Dress. I used thai silk from this Danish online shop, where I received great service. I sent her an e-mail, asking if I could have samples, and I received an envelope with samples of the different silks I was looking at and a kind response. So anyway, the lining fabric is the same as what I used for the wedding dress and the purse – the softest silk from a fabric shop in New York, brought home by my good friend Karen for the wedding dress project specifically. I changed a few things in the pattern – I wasn’t crazy about the roses on the belt, so I put miniature fabric roses instead to add a detail. Also, I added dusty, greyish tulle on the inside of the skirt, to give it more fullness. I did this by making a tulle skirt that was just a few centimeters longer than the main skirt with lots of ruffled tulle at the bottom, and then sewing it into the dress at the waist line, between the main fabric and the lining. The girls loved the dresses, fortunately, and though this is not a dress a girl wears many times (if more than one at all…), it was worth the effort. I believe actually, that Frida will be wearing her’s in a few days for the end of season dance at the dance school – for that purpose, the dress should do just fine. (Check out pictures from last year’s end of season dance here.) Next project was actually something that came out of a bloggers meetup. I haven’t done much hand sewing - ever, and it has been a choice not to. At the meetups however, everyone is always doing something with their hands – knitting, crocheting, sewing, or something else. So I thought, I’d give it a try, just to see what happened. A pillow for Frida’s room is what happened – and actually one that she seems to appreciate immensely for some reason. The front, of course is patchwork, and the back an overlap closing to make it possible to wash the cover – see below. Quite a nice project, that I just might try my hands on again, when I have the time to spare. Finally, two minor projects, that I have made recently. A small purse for make up for myself (same pattern as the bridal purse), and pencil cases for the girls.         The pencil cases are based on the Perfect Box Pouch tutorial on Make It Modern. Other tutorials I have used, and some that I haven’t yet – are found here. That’s it for the no-shows – now I think most of what I’ve made is on the blog, for me or anyone else to (re-)discover.   Astrid Connecting the dots... Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:58:36 +0100 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/copenhagen/norrebros-hjerte/ Image by Cindy Fonvig Usually it is just a hackneyed figure of speech when we say that a city has a heart. But Nørrebro actually has one. On a pedestal at Aksel Larsens Plads near Nørrebro Parken and directly opposite The Red Square there is a big red iron heart. It is engraved with the words ‘We want to live together’ in many languages. If you look closely at the heart, you will realize that it is made out of pieces of metal from different kinds of weapons. Nørrebro has had its trouble in the past, and the heart stands as a symbol of the joint effort and desire to live peacefully and respectfully together. All the weapons used to make the sculpture have been either confiscated or submitted voluntarily to the Nørrebro police. The artist himself, Bjørn Nørgaard, was born in Nørrebro not too far from where the heart is located. There are plenty of benches in the immediate vicinity of The Heart, so sit down and take a little break to enjoy this unusual sculpture.

And though I have to admit that I have never actually bought anything (yet) on my many browsing visits to this two-storey shop packed with beautiful objects, I strongly recommend a visit – especially if you are interested in classic furniture design from the twentieth century. You’ll find original design by Danish designers like Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton and Poul Henningsen, but also by designers such as Charles & Ray Eames. In addition to furniture Roxy sells prints, ceramics in various guises, lamps and many other beautiful things. Back in the 1920s one of the store’s backrooms used to be a pub of sorts –  ’Slyngelstuen’ – where actors from the nearby Nørrebro Theatre and other locals would come to quench their thirst. Among them was the Danish painter and inventor Storm P, who painted a long frieze in the room. The motif of the frieze would later form the basis for a humorous and in Denmark widely popular cartoon, Peter and Ping. The drawings can still be seen on the walls.

It is a pun on haute couture, and in Danish it means hot-cow-bull, which is mildly funny if you’re a Dane and, if nothing else, helps explain the name. If you’re not a Dane, you might just find it a bit silly. HotKoTyr primarily sells lamps, all kinds of old lamps: lamps from the sixties, old dental lamps, kitschy lamps shaped as gnomes and monkeys with shining eyes, but also really nice vintage lamps. The guy who owns the store fixes them up himself, and in addition to lamps the store is full of old sockets and light switches no longer in trade, posters from the sixties, old models of cartoon characters in plastic and miscellaneous curiosities of even more peculiar sorts. There’s limited amount of room to maneuver in among all the stuff in the shop, so I recommend removing any large backpacks before entering. HotKoTyr has existed for as long as I can remember and is definitely worth a visit. Even if you’re not in the market for a lamp.

First you must take a fast ferry from Bornholm to the southern tip of Sweden and then drive about an hour through Sweden, before you come to this bridge, which combines Sweden with Denmark. The bridge is all in all about 16 kilometres long, and since it was opened in the year 2000 millions of people and cars have travelled all the way across the sea to either countries. And I will also go back to Denmark and Copenhagen this way, because my visit to Bornholm has ended for now.

It’s co-created, co-developed and now we just started a process of co-funding it too. I think we’ve done a really good job at building digital platforms with website, facebook, twitter and as of yesterday also an indiegogo crowd funding campaign. I’m looking forward following it and I hope we will make it in time. And I’m forgetting to mention that I love the project too – we’ll gather 30 entrepreneurs from all age-groups on a tall ship and sail around the Baltic Sea for a week!” More fact about the project here: From June 10th to 17th, 2012 an intergenerational group of 30 change makers will set sail on a Tall Ship in the Baltic Sea. Over the course of one week, facilitated by workshops, deep conversations and the movement of the sea, the group will explore the notion of ?cultural maturity? in an era of global change and in the quest for a more sustainable way forward for our societies.
