I like the felted things from Én Gry & Sif . I might still remember when I saw years ago for the first time the things in lifestyle magazines - beautiful! My sister was then in Denmark and was visiting the store of the two and has not found it. Meanwhile, the Internet was developed and time to surf here and there. And I've read that things are not manufactured by the two alone, but as Fair Trade in Nepal made by over 500 people.
The patchwork of Anna Maria Horner are colorful and not so perfect, but some with quilted large quilt stitches with thick yarn. I like that, but also gives the impression that this is a cool designer and multiple mother who simply has a lot on it and things and still produce great things. Wow! However, creating as many quilts all alone and then alongside family - almost impossible.
And I know of a Swiss woman in Haiti built up a sewing and women employed, the American quilt stitched. Actually a good project, the women can help in such a way to support their families. But we are all made to believe by the American original quilts to buy very expensive and then you have to learn that these blankets were imported from Haiti to work these women likely to earn a reasonable wage and the middlemen and retailers much. Is not that unfair?
When I buy fabric and sew a blanket I want, then the material alone costs about 100 francs, while I have sewn a minute. And when I go to shop and bargain at major distributors see, I do wonder how much has probably the seamstress it deserves. Size is all part of "Made in China" on it.
Jade and many others give the White and Shabby style on her blog. So beautiful! And as in a lifestyle magazine. Almost too good. No speck of dust, no Spinnwabe, which spreads very nasty somewhere in a corner so slowly and quietly and only in the most inconvenient time visible.
Is everything really so beautiful? Must we take refuge in an ideal world, if (almost) is everywhere in the world of injustice and political unrest and natural disasters?
My laundry room would be cleaned up urgently. The laundry is already there waiting until it is ironed and cared for. The newly cleaned windows were used as hints and farewell kiss station - they look back accordingly. It already had pasta for lunch, because a thousand things were more important than a careful and extensive planning a banquet. And on my needles is since a few days very difficult and almost not coming forward a Revontuli. How
would quickly bought a warm jacket or open a can of ravioli or hired a cleaning lady. But we are DIY Interior (hopefully all) critical question, one or the other, sometimes give out too much money for something nice to support local craft and would rather like something out of wood instead of plastic. And knit a Revontuli from handspun and hand dyed (hopefully) soft sheep's wool without Polydings, it will warm later, much more than the price paid, because he hand-knitted in many hours of mine was.
