Orange...

An orange for a Monday morning...

Would you...?

We're conducting a poll over at www.isak.co.uk to find out if this would be well received out there. Thommy & Ted are close friends with Blossom & Bill and all the rest of Familjen. Do you think they should feature a product for Isak? If so, what kind of product?

Friday Patterns

Feeling nostalgic in the spring rain... The sound of wind and rain hitting the roof brings back memories of  childhood. Drawing in the attic for hours, waiting for the rain to stop. And then all of a sudden it would! The woods are never more silent than after a spring rain.

My Body!

Well, not mine personally... but all our bodies! They are beautiful. This poster has been made to take the "ugly" out of bodily functions and to make it fun to learn about the functions of our organs. I'm naming the boy Theo and the girl I'm naming after Theo's lovely little friend Emily.

Trollskogen

It's been a while... I thought I'd best show some new work. Ever since our first son was born we have been telling him this troll story where he himself has the leading part and it's now gone to the point where every body in the family is involved. Over the years we have brought over a hand full of trolls to life. Our Trolls live in the old forest of Tiveden in Sweden. We've been to their caves, walked on their paths and swum in their lakes. Once they came on holiday to England and camped in our garden, but that story we were asked never to tell again. Best to keep the trolls further away, not let them get too close... 

Tree Top Friends

"My" baby gym in this month's Junior magazine!

Triangular

Here are some spring colours to cheer up and inspire. Can't get enough of triangles and geometrical shapes at the moment, and neither can anyone else it seems! When I choose the designs for the Nova wallpaper range for Isak there weren't many triangles about. Now they're everywhere. Just seems to be in the air. One of those things...

A huge thanks to ZhouXun,the editor of Japanese In-door magazine for writing this wonderful 3 spread article on me. I had no idea it was going to be this big, I expected just a single page. Amazing. And two of my three boys are in the pictures. The lovely black and white photo at the top was taken by the lovely Christian Doyle.

Revenge is sweet!

When I was a little girl we had the most amazing bedding in thick cotton and brown and white flowers printed on it. To me it was the most wonderful thing. My mum hated it. It reminded her of the seventies. She couldn't throw it away because grandma had given it to her so it served as the spare set. But one day when I wasn't looking she chucked it, and I've missed it since. Found it on a photograph though... And now, me and mum have matching dresses in the old bedding and she can't throw that away can she?!

Friday afternoon pattern

I know apples have been done and over and over again but I just can't help it! Love them!

Sandra Isaksson for SKIP HOP!

After all the malaki with Kokka copying my designs - these great pictures came through today to cheer me up. My cooperation with Skip Hop is going very well! They have turned my patterns and drawings into this beautiful activity gym and toys. I could not be happier! And I can not wait for my boys to play with these. Thanks SKIP HOP - you've done a great job!

 And this is the Tree Top nursery range available early next year. Nighty night!

Hej Katten

Something to lightening up a gloomy Friday with. It's cold today, fingers like icicles.
