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 […]
I noticed Take A Stitch Tuesday has restarted this January! For anyone who is at all interested in embroidery I highly recommend this. For a complete beginner who is interested in learning the stitches (like I was in 2012) this is the perfect opportunity: every week there is a new […]
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 […]

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 […]
Today I was enjoying our first real day of spring after a long dreary grey winter by taking photographs outside of some lovely new washi tapes for my shop when I got distracted by all the Spring happening around me 🙂
Good morning! I finally managed to take some pictures this wednesday so I can actually show a couple of things I’m working on (or should be working on) . First there is this little experiment. On a whim I needle felted some scrap wool roving to a piece of scrap […]
