Hi.

Happy new year and all.

As you might have noticed (or not) I have been absent. Due to health challenges, I have not been able to even touch a needle or knife, lest be doing some crafts. Hopefully this will change. Soon.

In the mean timeI have not forgotten all orders, those of ypu still waiting, I kindly ask of you to wait a little longer. I will be in contact in due time.

I am so so sorry for all my delays. So sorry.

This was my stand at Aure last Saturday.
Forthcoming Saturday, the 4th of December, I will be attending at Villa Viungen, Liabøen for my last Christmas fare. After this, the work shop at @aresvikgard wil be open for visitors. Please send me a pm/sms/make a call to make an appointment.

I am looking forward to seeing you all!

Come shop! Last chance before Christmas to purchase items this side of the fjord :)

Hi. A tiny and important update: I just wanted to

Hi. A tiny and important update:
I just wanted to say that I am closing shop come January. All custom orders already noted will be fulfilled in due time. I am deeply sorry things are taking so long. My physical and mental health has gotten som additional hits lately, and I need to focus on myself and my family. Nothing more.

I will be attending local Christmas fares: Aure Arena at 27th of November 11:00-16:00
Villa Viungen, Liabøen at 4th of December approx same time.
This will be the last chance to purchase in stock items made by me. Afterwards there will be only one of a kind items for sale as I find time and space to make. The web shop is also open, go to website to browse on in stock items. Link in bio.

Some of you may wonder what's up with me. Well. It's difficult to explain. Bottom line is depression, eating disorder, fatigue, loneliness, lack of faith. The last one being extremely difficult, as I am ordained as a lutheran priest. I'm being honest. I have always been honest. There is so much talk and rumours and I hate this. I wish people could ask me instead of each other about me.

Well. I probably overshared. Sorry.
I wish you all the best.
May your Advent and Christmas time be blissfull and the new year filled with peace and love.

So sorry.
💔😭

If you want to order something special for someone (or yourself), you need to get in touch with me asap!

Go check out https://ninnidesign.no for inspiration and in stock items, and send me a pm with all your questions!

My back and neck is acting up so no hand stitches for a while. Luckily my new 12,9" iPad pro arrived, and I could get to learning Procreate. A dream come true. Mygosh. Gamechanger. I love it.

Hello October!
Three months till Christmas.
That means: custom orders deadline is set to 15th of October. Waiting list will then close, but gift cards will be available.
So, if you want something special for yourself or someone else under the tree this Christmas, you'll need to decide quickly. All current orders will be processed in due time, I kindly ask for patience, as we need to get some veggies indoors, and I need to recover from the regular daycare flu.

Be well all.

Such a mess at my workshop, but the view makes it all go away!

Let's talk about mobile covers. Those tend to fall

Let's talk about mobile covers.
Those tend to fall apart before your eyes, yes? The China ones...

Well. Solution is: shop locally. Shop handmade. Shop sustainable. Shop to last. I can guarantee you a long life, yeah, you might have to swap phone before cover... And if the cover falls apart, well, you do not throw it away, you send it to Ninni design's spa treatment!

Covers start at nok 1500,-. For a phone costing up to 19000,- that's investing in something that lasts.

Colours at hand is black, dark blue, cognac and natural. All sorts of crazy colours can be dyed (I'm currently working on an oxblood one...). Tooling and name/initials stamped can also be done. Hardware at hand is gun metal black, silver, black, gold, rose gold, antique copper and antique brass. The button that is. Thread to match. At pic it is dark blue leather with baby blue stitching and rose gold hardware.

Like, really small, but still so so useful.

Things are moving fast.
At @aresvikgard we are harvesting and hunting. Mushrooms, vegetables, deer, fish. Preparing for winter. So, not so much time for social media and leather crafting.

I bought myself a Silhouette Cameo 4 though. With heat foil equipment. Curious to see if it will hot foil on leather... Stay tuned to see me make a mess of everything 😬😁🙈

I already made jam and juice from blackcurrants and redcurrants and elderflowers.

Come September, and the cellar will be filled with wegetables from our own garden: carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes, kale and many more.

The process of making something is both giving and exiting. Here I am choosing the colour thread for a iPad sleeve together with a customer.

We ended on red linen thread for the cognac leather 🥰

Barely floating.
Exhaustion.

I am beginning to think that this "be a good girl/perfect girl"-syndrome is one of my biggest blockers. Always striving to do my best, be my best, prove to all and myself that I am capable, I am able to achive all.

Well...

The cost is too high.

And it is not improving my health.

I have been given time to get better, and instead of focusing on just that, I instead started studies (to have a hope of getting another job), and I can now see that I am not there. I want to focus on me and my health, but it seems to be slipping through my fingers. Downward spiral, right?

How do I continue?

I do not know.

Not even leather crafts, my float activity is keeping me afloat.

So here's a pic of the latest item I made. It's for sale if anyone want it.

Stay safe.

The magic of feedback.

Over at @aresvikgard, we are selling eco vegetables for the first time. We have been selling a few bundles of csrrots and some potatoes, and all of a sudden, several customers wanted a box bundle of assorted goodies. All because our first customer gave us loving feedback on social media.

I'm so grateful for this! Feedback is so important, being small and local. Remember this, people, if you shop local or small, your feedback to others can make a huge impact and difference!

I thank for every customer, for every order, for every person I meet that I can share my passion for leather and for farming with.

Thank you all who shop, who spread the word of Ninni Design and of Aresvik Gard.

Shop locally and supoort your neighbours!

(svipe to see the veggie box, 🥰)

Belt and hip bag ready for Rindalen and Norsk Vandrefestival!

See you there tomorrow and Sunday!

There were so many plans I had for this summer. S

There were so many plans I had for this summer.

Summer fares.
Open work shop.
Time for family.
Time for cultivating vegetables for us and for sale.
Trips in nature.
Catch up of studies.

All became nothing, the days dissapeared and my health grew worse.

Too much, I can say now. In retrospect.

All the should-haves. Would-haves. Could-haves. Self loathing and low self esteem. Drained energy levels.

Yeah. Depression sucks. Eating disorders sucks. Lack of rutines suck.

Today the vacation ended and I can start the process of picking myself up from the dark cellar I fell down into this Saturday. It is going to take time. Bear with me, please.

I need self care and to care only for my son and my husband.

Last appearance at summer fares will be this weekend at Rindalen Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you there if you are in the neighbourhood.

And there, my energy ended. No more guts, no more

And there, my energy ended.

No more guts, no more strength to do anything.

I feel so empty. So tired. So in a void.

No open workshop. I am sorry.
I will be thinking alot about Rindalen next weekend. And about Ninni design and if I have the strength to carry on with leather crafts.

Now I need to regain myself.
I feel like my bracelet looks after three weeks on my arm. My mantra has obviously come to an end (hold on) - I cannot keep this pace anymore.

Stay safe people.
I thank you for all your support and good thoughts.

Earrings with silver studs. You know that feeling

You know that feeling when you sit down and let creativity take control. And you have no idea of the outcome.

This time the final product became earrings of all kinds :)

Intertwining. Is that a word? When destinies meet

Intertwining.
Is that a word?
When destinies meet and continue together in a weave. Like a braid.

I'm cuddled up in our sofa, watching my son at four years building a racing track together with his father. Two beautiful people, the oldest chose me for his life long companion. And the youngest chose us to be his parents. And the cat, well, he came to us and enriched our life.

Together our destinies intertwine, four strands of life to make a braid.

Destinies intertwining was my inspiration for this bracelets. Braided together and sealed with a magnet clasp, they remind me of the poem by John Donne from 1624:

No man is an island entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were,
As well as any manor of thy friend's,
Or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

The fragile life. Today, my husband leaves for Å

The fragile life.

Today, my husband leaves for Ålesund.
Last week came the sad news of death. A former colleague of his had died in early age. The funeral is in Ålesund Thursday.

Life is so fragile. Silver thin moments of light seeps through a reality that sometimes seems to be all darkness. It is never all black and white. Or muddy brown. This time the strings plays grieving melodies to accompany a blazing sun from up above.

I carry my husband in my heart on his way to Ålesund. And I pray for the family left without a husband and a father.

Hold on to each other. We are all connected, like the pieces of a mandala, making a whole. If any one of us falls from our place in the pattern, it will never be the same again.

Carry each other. Keep each other safe. Cherish each moment of silver bright light.

I have several notebooks.

I started the year with a notebook for every part of my life, but soon figured out that my presumed system was flawed. So now I have two books: a planner and a blank book. The planner holds alle appointments and to dos. The notebook every tracker and idea. This works. It clears my head, it remembers my schedule and it keeps my creativity flowing.

Do you keep a notebook?

What is your deepest drive? Mine has to be the op

I have been thinking. About life itself and so ma

I have been thinking.

About life itself and so many things.

This year have been a rollercoaster.
Last autumn I got diagnosed with sleep apnea. I had over 30 breathing stops per hour during the night. No wonder I was exhausted and depressed!
Now I have used c-pap for almost nine months. My life is quite different, and I have started on my journey of loosing 50 kilos of weight. Come August, I have lost 20 of them! Tings are more easy, life is easier, and my health is improving by the day.

Much of this is due to the leather craft I have as a most cherished occupation. I call it flovipy: float activity therapy. It keeps me sane and I get to be creative. I need to me creative.

Every day I discover new things. I felt great joy recieving leather samples from @concerialaperlaazzurra. What you see here is blu abissi from their Dakota line. Dark petrol blue. And a pure joy to work with. The quality is excellent and it sparks my creativity so much!

Summer vacation vibes. It is hot, so hot outside!

Summer vacation vibes.
It is hot, so hot outside!
We are growing vegetables, but the week has not enouh hours and all is slipping through our fingers. Watering, weeds, so much salad that we are not able to eat it all. It is both stressful and an opportunity to see what is possible for us as a family and as a farm. We have a long way to go, and now it is vacation time.

I don't know how many of you followers actually know my history. Is it something you would like to know?

I would be glad to tell it to you.

Leather work is currently on a little pause. Sigurd, my son has summer off from daycare, and today we are cooking elderberry juice.

I am taking customs all summer, but there is some waiting time, mid September I would guess. Hope that's okay.

And if you want to see this viking pouch live, you should join me in Rindalen 7.-8. og August. Hand tooled veg tan leather and reindeer nappa. Sturdy and nice :)

What scrap projects do you do?
I'm having troubles making my mind up about things here. Too many possibilities...

Here are some minimal coasters.
I think I will keep them, they turned out brilliantly!

Those of you that have followed me for a while, might remember how excited I was to recieve a whole box of scrap pieces from @bokbinderlisa. Finally I have gotten around to using it!

Card holder in natural and green. Use it and it will age like the trees in the forest from spring to autumn.

Yeah, it's one of a kind so far...I'm pondering an ocean keeper. And a fire keeper. And some other ones ;)

Peekaboo!

Life is hectic. And today PostNord managed to send my two ordered car seats, not to our local pick up place, but to the one on the other side of the fjord. So I have to go pick them up and it's going to cost. Oh well... I have friends. I want coffee.

I am trying to produce leather goods for summer fares, while trying to sell radishes and salad from @aresvikgard. And study graphic design.

Sometimes my leather work just pops up in my mind, like a peekaboo troll from a box. Kinda relieving, in a hectic day. It reminds me to breathe and flovipy. Flovipy you too!

Sometimes life bites you in the ass. Experienced

Sometimes life bites you in the ass.
Experienced that?
I have.
It's painful.
The bite.

When I feel down, when I'm troubled or tired, I do leathercrafts. Like yesterday evening when I made this. My version of a slim sun glasses (or regular glasses) case. Cognac leather and turquoise stitches. The process calmed my mind and the result makes me smile.

What is your float activity?

Imagine this: Not buying to throw away in a week,

Imagine this:
Not buying to throw away in a week, month, year. But buying, knowing that the thing you buy will age beautifully, that it can be mended, that it will last a lifetime if properly cared for.

This is two different approaches to life, I am convinced of. It is a choice. All those things we surround ourselves with, do we really need them? And do they have the qualities to last? Do you buy on a whim or based on choices or on both? I do both, I guess. I try, though, to always buy the quality and sturdiness.

And in my work I always strive to make the best products that will last the longest. Choosing excellent leather, polishing edges, using thread that lasts. Making sure you always can rely on my quality. And that you always can get things mended and repaired in the future.

Love at first sight and first stitch.

My edc - every day carriage.
In this I store my Hobonichi Cousin, some stickers, cards and so on. My whole year goes in here. And those things not written down tends to disappear into the abyss of forgetfulness. Do you keep a journal? I find it to be both soothing, sorting and rejuvenating, being able to write down all I need to remember, all I need to track, all I need to get off my chest. All to be burnt when the year is over!
