Oh... and blogging! so i'm gonna blog lots this month. I want to make an updated FAQ post (for quick reference. i get asked the same questions a lot via e-mail, that would help a lot!) as well, so i'll use the the questions i receive often, but if you have a question please add it here to the comments. i'll do a post (or possibly multiple posts) about it this month. Random questions are cool, business questions are great and personal questions will be considered! Basically, i'm just looking for topics that you'd be interested in me blogging about!  

Have a great night! :) Elsie

I'd love to see another video tour of your house - I don't think you've done one for where you live now have you? I absolutely love the old video, so inspiring and like nothing else I've seen anywhere!

And yeah, lots of stuff about your work routines and motivation AKA how you get so much done! xx

I am more or less in the same situation like Megan and had the same question. When you said that you quit work with KI and there will be no more Love, Elsie scrapbooking stuff, I started buying everything I could get hold of and that's not so easy when you live in Austria :-) getting hold of your recipe book was an adventure.... noooooot easy...
And I love your stuff und would love to see new scrapbooking things from you - maybe you should consider a co-operation with Bam Pop since they are your friends - and their scrapbooking stuff is also so sweeeeeeet.
I also wondered how the process of your prints works.
And I am definitely waiting for the house tour!
Oh and I wanted to know whether it's easy for you to clear out stuff in your house when you've bought too many new things. And if so, how do you do it and how often...

Do you post to the UK??

xx

[sofia]

Yes, I have a "few"! Ahem...

I seem to notice that you are interested in eating healthily. My simple question; what do you eat? And when did you start living this way ("this way" = I'm thinking maybe macrobiotic or vegetarian?)

Will you ever (PLEASE) design more scrapbooking supplies?

Are you still friends with other "famous" scrapbookers?

Do you do still scrapbook?

What paint do you use (for example the foxes that you did recently)? Any other art supplies that you could recommend?

Thank you!

PS. Also I have to let you know that you´ve been my nr 1 inspiration ever since I discovered your blog. I'm not so interested in home decor and vintage stuff so I find myself visiting the blog less than before (probably a good thing *lol*). But you still are the closest I've ever come to having an idol. Yes, I like you way more than all the great artists, moviemakers, fashion photographers of our time. I hope you'll let that sink in for a while as I pride myself on my taste in art *lol*. Seriously you deserve credit for your creative genius and all the hard work over the years. You are the best.

Thank you so much for this blog!

Love from Sweden

No question...just have to say I freaking love you and your style...just so you know =)

[erin]

hi lovely! :)
my question- where do you get prints made at?
i've been printing my art prints with a photo company on photo paper.. and it's just not the same quality as a proper print. any suggestions where i can get something like that done online?

[chinamommy]

i've loved you since your scrapbooking submission days!!!

I would love to know about your healthy eating or ideas about healthy body and if you feel it connects with your daily life/creativity. You have talked about wild sleeping times etc. Yet you look wonderful, healthy and slim.........something is really working for you!
Oh and I see the print question has come up....where do you get your printing done?
Do you ever make a "ugly" mess sometimes? Has a project or a painting ever just NOt turned out for you? I feel like I messs so much stuff up and it is not a "beautiful mess" but a total flippin disaster.....ever do that???

[Nerea]

I loooove your skirt Elsie!!

[Kim]

Hello lovely girl! I just wanted to stop by to say hi and to catch up with what's been going on in your world! Love love LOVE all of the new stuffs in your shop, lots and lots of loveliness! Just bought the new recipe books and can't wait to get them!! Keep this great stuff coming ;]

xoxo,
Kim

I would definitely love to know your approach to starting your business and actually opening a store. My friend and I are seriously investigating on how to open our own restaurant, we're both 23 and every part of it its completely overwhelming. I know the restaurant is not the same as a store, but any and every piece of advice or tip you could throw my way woul dbe GREATLY appreciated.

How cool is that!

[ryoko-niko]

WOW!I love your photograph!!<3<3
I'm from japan.
*my question*(very simple!!LOL)
#1:Do you like Japan?
#2:Have you been to Japan?(^O^)

I'm just a high school student.so I'm not very good at English:(
maybe I have some grammatical mistakes:P

[Adrienne]

So I am always curious like I always say to myself "How did she come up with that??" I guess so basically my question is, do you always draw cartoony? Or like, can you draw realistic? Because anytime i try to draw something cartoony i freak out! Stupid OCD. No... Lol. Just perfectionism, have you never been a perfectionist? Because I think what makes your cartoony things great is their imperfections, you know what i mean?????

[Angie Delarie]

Wow thats a lot of questions already > I might not go there tonight! as i think u have enough already. One thing I'd like to say is that I adore you and always will!

[Chelsea]

I've always wondered how the graphics for some of your prints/ cartoon depictions of embroidery patterns are made. They appear to be computer designed, possibly with a wacom pad, but I'm not quite sure and would love to know!

[Bekah]

I love those boots! <3333
