• I could use some feedback

Sometimes I think that everyone is crafting around the world, because of that endless amount of inspiring blogs. But in my daily reality, that’s not the case…. No one in my neighborhood I know is crafting in any way, so when I am in desperate need of any feedback, I have no one to show my project and discuss…
But [...]

• Wet felting

The day before I ruptured my achilles tendon, I spent an afternoon in my aunt’s studio. She does wet felting a lot and I wanted to learn the process for some time now. The picture above shows my first project. I was really excited when I actually felt the wool, soap and water doing their job. I still think [...]

• Crochet inspiration

I admire the work of Anne-Claire Petit. She designs funny crocheted things in the most adorable colors. All items are a huge inspiration to me, and some of them I would love to own myself, for example the vase with flowers seigh…..
Yesterday I was so lucky to find some anne-claire petit items on the ‘vrijmarkt’ in Amsterdam. [...]

• A RevoluzZa monster

I love the work of RevoluzZa and I appreciate the fact she makes some of her patterns available for everyone to use. For this version I used the fabric I cut from an old blouse and pieces of left over felt for the eyes and other embellishments. I’m sure RevoluzZa will love the recycle idea, she [...]

• Crocheted hearts garland

I’m, almost there: the flowers are attached to the hearts, and the string is half way finished. Hopefully I can show you the completed garland this wednesday. I thought I could finish it today, but I found out that crocheting the string is more work than it looked like…

I have already selected the next crochet project, [...]

• This is me :-)

For some time now, I’m not so in the crafty mood. A lot of projects in progress, but nothing finished to show you.
So I wanted to show you something about myself. On one of the blogs I found on my internet search, I saw this funny exercise you can do with Flickr photo’s.

• Who wants to help me out?

Since a year I look for crafty and inspiring magazines when I’m visiting other countries. When we were traveling to Austria trough Germany, I found such a lovely, inspiring, great new magazine. I checked every store where they sold magazines for new issues, on the picture you can see the harvest.
I really love the Country [...]

• Vintage craft magazines and buttons

Last year I started to spread around that I love old sewing supplies, like buttons, fabrics and bands, and old craft magazines. And this week it was treasure week! My aunt has a friend who gave me her old magazines, and a friend of my mother cleaned up her mothers place and found a bucket [...]

• All the best for 2009

I want to thank everyone who has come to visit me in blogland last year. And I want to thank those who left such sweet and inspiring comments. This all gives me confidence to continue keeping my blog and be creative in the new year 2009.
To start the new year blank, I found some inspiration [...]

• Wish my home looked like this…

Yesterday I was reading trough the ‘Country Living’ and I was struck by the article on Chris Myers’ home. Oh I loved it so much, I wish my home looked like that. I made a start with a few pieces of the Green Gate collection, so maybe if I just start adding the colors to our house…
