Sarah Stover Hannevik

I am a mamma to two flower-faces, work as a consultant for a web firm in Oslo. Zen, for me, is when I can create something - food, collage, felt pieces, paintings, a garden patch or a cozy home.

Interests: collage, yoga, paper crafts, red wine, feng shui, web development, photography, printing, vintage paper, eastern philosophy, vintage children's clothing, good times with family and friends, and norwegian fresh air.

Thanks Kiley :) The felt isn't that great, it is kind of plasticy, not as soft as the good quality stuff I find in Norway, but it is much better than the plastic thing we had :)
