While I was photographing embroidery for my new workshop “free embroidery” (sorry, no translation yet!) I came across this embroidery hoop. I made it some years ago, and it was both the first hoop I made and the first time I worked with water soluble pen. I still like it, […]

So I thought it would be nice to give away some sort of free pattern here on my blog. Since it’s resurrection I haven’t had any of those. And what better time than this season of holidays and gift-giving? I wanted to make something not too christmassy but sort of […]
I know, hexies are só 2010 🙂 But ever since the hype started I have been wanting to give them a try anyway. So when I spotted these these hexie templates at the Handwerkbeurs last month I just had to buy them. I thought they were a bit pricey but […]
After the Christmas Gnome I also made a Sinterklaas! I sometimes link up at these parties: make sinterklaas
After a couple of stressfull weeks I decadently made some time today for doing a bit of crafting. With some of my favourite music on and a table filled with beautiful crafty materials I got to work. There are few things that work this well for me, for clearing my […]
A few years ago already now I made the pattern for this little owl. For some reason it became sort of forgotten, until recently when I used it during a wonderful babyshower and I started liking it all over again. I made so many of them over recent years, even […]
Last summer I taught my first workshop at a babyshower. It was a lot of fun to do, and the ladies liked the results as well, so I would love to do more! It was a surprise for the mother-to-be, so together with the grandmother-to-be I came up with this […]
Hello little blog. I’m sorry for neglecting you. I know I have been spending way too much time on Instagram lately. And also I’ve been crafting like a maniac, because in a few weeks I’m doing a craft fair! Well, it’s a tiny market really. I think. It’s new so […]
I finished this little fellow! (WIP photos here; photos on Flickr here) It started as a little experiment but I like the result so much I decided to frame it and hopefully someday it will get to be on display in my craft room. Imaginary craft room, that is. I […]
A couple of days ago I posted this on Instagram: Playing 🙂 #homeinthestudio #thecreativeprocess #buttons #buttoncrafts #creativelifehappylife #fromdawandawithlove @dawanda_en Een foto die is geplaatst door Audrey B. / Studio Paars (@audrey_studiopaars) op 21 Mei 2015 om 7:55 PDT Here is what I made that day: Button necklaces! They are really […]
Hello there 🙂 I am happy to *finally* be able to invite you to my Instagram feed! My phone hated the IG app but eventually I convinced it to make it work. So that’s where I have been these past few days. I am still discovering some of the features […]
Recently I made this laptop bag for myself. I’m calling it a prototype since making it was a real learning experience and I made several mistakes. But I do like the results: it’s practical (I use it everyday) and I LOVE the fabric (Ikea). To make it I just cut […]
I made yet another cuff. This time I changed the design a bit, removing the button and buttonhole and adding a little elastic to make it fit easily. This one won’t be making it to my Etsy shop since it was made as a thank-you gift for my friend, but […]
I had an idea that just kept hanging around in the back of my head, so I had to get it out of there and into life. This is what came of it. It’s a bit of a prototype, because it has some flaws that I would like to fix […]
