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: [foogallery id=”3993″] 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 […]
Lately I have been having some sort of blogger’s block. It’s not that I don’t have anything I would like to blog about; there is plenty going on around here, both on the crafty front and on others. No, it’s more that whenever there is something I would like to […]
I made another needlebook; this one was supposed to be a gift for Sinterklaas but I had forgotten to bring it with me, so now I’m giving it this evening. This one is a lot more photogenic than the last! Still I’m not sure if I should call it purple […]
Lately I have been making lots more of my little embroidered patchwork pincushion (pictured below) and had a lot of fun with them, in choosing the prints, embroidery and buttons for each one. So I thought maybe it would be nice to make a tutorial for them. They’re not hard […]
EDIT: click here to go to the latest post on my little owl pattern or here to purchase directly. There has been a lot of response to my request for pattern testers: thank you all for your interest! I had a couple of very good suggestions that I will certainly […]
So I am having a bit of a patchwork crush at the moment… a new blanket will be starting soon, but in the meantime I am enjoying these really small pincushions. This here is #2 (I like how it looks totally different from every angle). When I have gotten a […]
FINALLY got around to making something! How I’ve missed this! Anyway, it’s another bag charm. My MIL was constantly telling me how much she loved mine, so I made her one for her birthday. When filling it with wool, I added a bit of dried lavender to give it a […]
(click here for more DIY tutorials) Somewhere last week I finished something I had been embroidering on for a while. I have been totally absorbed in embroidery since I first joined TAST at the beginning of this year and I have to admit, since finishing this piece I am just […]
I am really enjoying myself with felt lately 🙂 I needed a pincushion so I made myself one, out of felt, embroidery and buttons (out of my vintage stash which belonged to both our grandmothers) in nice bright and girly colours. The camera went nuts, because the pink especially is […]
