On a nice warm summerday last week, my workshop was very unusual!! as it was filled up with pixies and Christmas trees. A journalist and a photografer were there to make an article for a Magazine about Christmas. It was very strange to unpack my boxes with pixies, because I am not at all used to think of pixies at this time of the year. If possible I don´t start to think of Pixies untill the middle of October. Allthough it was a funny day and the photographer made some very good photoes.

The journalist Lone Agersted has gathered some of the pixies she wants
to get photos of.

During the summerseason I often have unusual guests in my workshop.Last week my guests were two American couples.
Penny Huang, who called me from her stay in Copenhagen and arranged the visit, had bought my PIXIE-FELT book in November and as she told me, she had never thought that she would ever have the opportunity to see me, but then her husband surprised her. He invited her to Denmark to celebrate their 40th weddingday and visit friends that were posted here. What a nice visit!!

There will be no doll of the month in June because I am going on combined holiday and teaching tour most of the month in Germany. 

There are two places vacant at my course in Germany by Filzrausch from  June 8-10. The theme of the course is animals and you can read more on:

It looks like there will be a lot of things to do this month:

Some of my things will be shown at the mess of the firm Creativ Company from May 8-10. Among them my new little theatrefigure.

I am writing on an article for a magazine called "Arts and Craft in the school".

Right now I have finished the last things for my next exhibition, which will take place in Italy at Le Arti Tessili Association in July, where i will give a course too.

Presentation:

Le Arti Tessili Association, founded in 1987, has since ever been active in
the diffusion of textile culture and education.  For the purpose of reaching
this ambitious target, the Association proposes and organizes various
activities:  exhibitions, publications, seminars and workshops, and the
International Valcellina Award for Young Textile Artists. With regard to the
study and practice of felting, the first courses were held at the
Association seat in Montereale Valcellina (Friuli - Venezia)

I hope that my new book about Animal felt will be ready before my husband and I leave for holiday early June. We combine the holiday with the course I am going to give at Filzrausch in Germany. Right after the course we will start our bikingtour along the river "Weser".

If anyone should happen to pass my workshop this month on a certain day, then you might be very surprised and think that I have made a mistake because the whole room will be decorated with things that belongs to Christmas time. The reason is that there will be made an article for the magazine "Christmas", and I must admit that I am not at all in the mood to dig all those things forward from the boxes now.
