Behind the levers
Whether it was playing mail order catalog at a single-digit age and forcing mom to buy, wallpapering the whole house "until you learn", sewing a wedding dress the week before the wedding or very suddenly starting e-commerce, with creativity, persistence and a lot of mixed success/disaster I have just done it.
I have always loved chewing on Bible words by writing them down and memorizing them, and somehow I have just continued.
With education and courses in form and design under my belt, I draw the prints for what become the products here at Me & My House Store, pull all the production strings, take photos and post them. And I love my made-up job.
Glad you found it here!

Some products that Josephine has designed:
Poster: Till Hans namn skall folken sätta sitt hopp
The poster is printed on luxurious 190 g satin paper. The paper is FSC-certified, which means it comes from responsibly managed forests with both people and the environment in mind, and this one is mixed with recycled material too.
The frame isn't included, but “standard” frames from the big shops almost always fit. For the A3 poster, an A3 frame (around 30×40) works well, or a bigger frame with a mount. The text on this poster is Till Hans namn skall folken sätta sitt hopp — Swedish for "In his name the nations will put their hope" (Matthew 12:21, NIV).
Dishcloth: Dag efter dag bär Han oss
The cloth is made from cellulose and cotton and printed with eco-friendly blue ink. Keep it fresh by boiling it or putting it in the dishwasher or the washing machine, and you can use it over and over again.
200 x 180 mm - a fun little gift! The text printed on this cloth is Dag efter dag bär Han oss — Swedish for "day after day he carries us", from Psalm 68:19: "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." (NIV)
Multipack: Lysande, fenomenal, underbar, härlig
A lovely kit of really pretty badges with lively little kids and the words Älskad, fenomenal, härlig, dyrbar, lysande, fantastisk, underbar and värdefull in lovely colours — Swedish for "loved, phenomenal, wonderful, precious, brilliant, fantastic, marvellous" and "valuable".
The badges are 38 mm across and have a classic pin on the back.
The price is for 50 mixed badges.
Gold-coloured metal bottle: Älskad, värdefull, dyrbar
A smart, gold-coloured aluminium bottle with a print that runs all the way round. The text is Älskad, värdefull, dyrbar — Swedish for "loved, valuable, precious".
The screw cap makes the bottle easy to drink from and easy to wash up, and the carabiner clip means you can hook it onto your rucksack or your bag. Brilliant to have on your desk at work, too.
It holds 400 ml and is made for cold drinks. Hand wash.
