• 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 [...]

• 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 [...]

• Fancy pants

I did this wrapping last week, I loved it so much I had to take a picture of it.
Yesterday I made these fancy pants for the daughter of a friend. I like to create such girlie stuff, and I was looking for someone I could create it for. As the model wasn’t around during the [...]

• Easter bunny

Hi there, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I’m struggling with my energy level and a lack of confidence to start new things. The crocheted hearts garland is still not finished, 3 hearts are attached now. I find it such an unlike-full job to sew all those hearts to the string by [...]

• Pin Cushion of the Month Club

Half a year ago I submitted to the Pin Cushion of the Month Club. Each month for seven months you receive a package with fabric, haberdasheries, a handmade pin and off course a pattern, to create a pincushion.
Till a few days ago, I didn’t start on any of those…. but here you can see the [...]

• Another felt workshop

My best friend said, what you had for your birthday, I want that too! So yesterday 9 girls together became crafty and creative. So fun to see how everyone shows their her own character in their creations.

And this is one of the things I made for her birthday, I used the pattern of Jona from [...]

• Kaffe Fassett workshop in Leeuwarden

Last Saturday I spent a day in Leeuwarden for a quilting workshop by Kaffe Fassett. The workshop room was in the beautiful Oranje zaal in the Olde Stadhuis. The room was filled with more then 20 women anxious to learn from the ‘Color Guru’. I was one of few who tried to design a quilt [...]

• Swap with An

This week I had a swap with An from vAN alles en nog wat … We agreed on a red themed swap. I was very pleased with the notebook cover I made for An, it was difficult to part with it… The bag was something new I tried, and now I want to make more!

And [...]

• Party banner order

Last weekend I worked hard for an order of party banners, I finished 3 and still have 2 to go! It always takes more time then I accounted for. Cutting the fabric, sewing, ironing, sewing again, etc… in my imagination it only takes minutes ;-) But when I deliver the goodies, and I see people are so [...]
