The Joy of Good Order - Notebook

Gunn Beate Reinton Utgård

Listelykke notatbok er en punktjournal inspirert av bullet journal-teknikken, og inneholder maler for kalender og lister som du kan fylle inn og fargelegge. Sidene er prikkete, som dotted grid-notatbøker, med tykt papir på 130 gram. Lister kan hjelpe oss med å rydde opp både fysisk og mentalt. Når du skriver ned ideer, tanker og oppgaver i listeform, frigjør du både kapasitet og tid. Å skrive lister er som en øvelse i mindfulness, du kan være kreativ eller pragmatisk, overdådig eller minimalistisk. Du får mer orden i hverdagen og blir flinkere til å planlegge. Bruk listene i denne boken for å rydde opp for godt, strukturere jobb og studier, få oversikt over huskelister og gjøremål, over hjem og hage, ukemenyer og handlelister, familiens aktiviteter, sesonger og høytider, nye mål, ferie og fritid, ulike hendelser i hverdagen og din egenutvikling. Listelykke er rydding, fargelegging og mindfulness i ett!

Poncho!

Poncho!

Denise Samson

Now it's all about ponchos! This simple garment has become a real craze, and not without reason. A poncho can be thin or thick, with or without a fringe, plain or patterned, an outer garment or something to wear to a party. The design of a poncho offers almost endless possibilities, but the common feature is the simple shape and ease of use. Denise Samson has created a book crammed with crocheted and knitted variations, in all styles and shapes. Many of the ponchos are herown design, but she has also selected her favourites from the Norwegian yarn producers' best patterns. In addition to 35 patterns for ponchos and a couple of beautiful shawls, there are also a few smart accessories to go with some of them, such as matching ear-muffs and mittens.
