    How John Smedley knitwear is made

    ByRasa Pelham July 17, 2017January 10, 2026

    A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to look around the John Smedley knitwear factory. I left Lukas with Nanny and took Tomas with me on the tour all the way to the beautiful Peak District. It felt like my fashion years are back again!! For those who don’t know John Smedley…

    ByRasa Pelham May 27, 2017January 10, 2026

    Well…. hello here looking through my never ending laundry pics. I never quite manage to have all baskets empty completely! This is why I was looking for ways to organise my dirty clothes while I work my way through it if you know what I mean. I thought under the sink in the bathroom would…

    How we tiled the bathroom with hexagon tiles

    ByRasa Pelham February 2, 2017January 10, 2026

    So if you were following me on Instagram then you probably have seen these hexagon tiles pop up quite a few times. When I was choosing tiles for the bathroom I was not thinking how to make my tiling complicated, but my exact thought was “oh this has a very nice pattern and does not…

    Giant Granny Square bed blanket

    ByRasa Pelham December 23, 2016January 10, 2026

    If you are wondering what to crochet during Christmas, then this project is a good one to start with. It is uncomplicated, however be warned it may take a while to get it into decent size. I took over a year to finish it (shocking I know!)!!!In case you wondered how much yarn I used…

    Lukas room update: changing unit with tray

    ByRasa Pelham May 3, 2016January 10, 2026

    So here we are! Lukas room have been painted (not perfectly, but it will do for now) and furniture moved in. There are still plenty things to get done here, but at least it is functional and Lukas does not seem to be complaining. Probably the most used furniture right now is the changing unit…

    Temporary Easter wall decorations

    ByRasa Pelham March 23, 2016April 19, 2024

    Last weekend we hosted Lukas dedication in our house which was stressful to begin with but we all enjoyed it at the end. I decorated walls with bird/leaves “garland”. I really liked the outcome and I thought this could be suitable for Easter as well! Except the fresh leaves have already dried up :-(. But…

    Personalised cosmetic bag

    ByRasa Pelham March 16, 2016January 10, 2026

    I think there can never be enough cosmetic bags! I just love to keep everything organised, even if I don’t keep many actual cosmetics(if you know what I mean). Last week we celebrated my sister in law’s birthday and since I was giving her some cosmetics I thought why not make this simple customised pouch…

    Lined curtains

    ByRasa Pelham March 11, 2016January 10, 2026

    Our bedroom has been painted last year, but we only have moved in from our spare room in February. What took us so long? The fact we did not have any curtains! I could not find the ones I liked, so I went trough make-your-own process instead. Which delayed our moving in date too many…

    Baby chevron hat

    ByRasa Pelham December 21, 2015January 10, 2026

    Before Lukas was born I was knitting these baby trousers that ended up being ridiculously too small (even a small baby would not have fitted in!). So I decided to undo the legs and finish it as a hat. It fits Lukas already! It’s amazing how big his head got ;-). This is my first…
