welcome, this is Made in Hägn

Screen shot of my article in Weavezine.

In the recent issue of Weavezine (a great online, free weaving magazine), there's an article written by me. It has instructions on how to make a skirt. How to make the fabric, how to make the pattern and how to sew it.

It did take some time to write the article and it was somewhat complicated as I'm not too familiar with the English terminology in weaving and sewing. But it does feel great to have written a published article. If you haven't already checked it out you can read it here!

Don't forget to take a look at the rest of the content on the Weavezine site and to listen the wonderful Weavecast podcast.

Things are going as planned and now there's a page with a contact form. The next thing that I'll do is some work behind the scene. Nothing that will benefit anyone other than me! Just as it should be...

It did take a little while longer than I expected. A database query that needed some thought among other things, but now this site has a RSS feed. I'm going to add more links to it and fix some other things tomorrow, it's late and I need to sleep.

Grass in the winter.

Hägn (where I live) is in Sweden. There's always snow in the winter here. Not always this early, but this year we do have snow right now.

It's not much there yet, but now there's a archive availibel. Hopefully it will be well used in the future when this site is full of interesting posts.

I'm hesitating about using the word blog cause, although this is what this is at the moment, it's not the only thing that will be available here once everything is finished (not that it will ever be really finished). I must also admit that, not that long ago I never thought I would run a blog. Just didn't seem like my thing to do. But now I've realized that a lot of people enjoy the concept (including me) and that's a good thing if you want to get your message out there.

Plus a blog can be anything the author wants!

I want mine to be friendly and filled with inspiration and information.

Tomorrow I'll work on the RSS feed, but I think I'm going to post something slightly inspiring later today.

Welcome to Made in Hägn. This is the first post at this new Website. It's quite empty and uninteresting right now, but sooner or later that will change (I'm hoping on sooner, but guessing on later).

My name is Frida Karlsson and I'm the person behind Made in Hägn. Eventually this site will mostly evolve around textiles and other inspiring things. But for now, I think I'll mostly use it to document the progress I'm making with the development of this site itself. You see, I'm the type of person who wants to know everything, make everything by myself, have total control and get everything exactly like I want it. I'm not really there yet...
