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 finished it! (click here to see the whole lengthy process) Actually, I finished it back in August, but Little Brother immediately carried it off to his bed so I didn’t get around to photographing it until now. He absolutely loves it! This has been the most rewarding thing I […]
I did not post regular updates as I had planned, but here finally is one on my second patchwork blanket (or should I call it a quilt?). I’m in the final stages of quilting: maybe about 30 minutes of sewing left. Then it just needs binding and a label like my […]
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 […]
(EDIT: click here to see the final result!) It took me only 3 years to finish it, but I made Big Brother a quilted patchwork blanket. Obviously Little Brother had to have one too, so I have been hoarding collecting fabric for his for a while now. I decided on […]
For the Craft Fair I did in october (for which I still owe you a report – sorry!) I made a bunch of these bunting lines. I liked them a lot but didn’t sell any so now I am offering them for sale through either my etsy or dawanda shop, […]
So I have ‘officially’ started my own small business. I love to create, to make and design things, to teach others and to pass along the joy of crafting. So I thought it would be natural for me to start a business doing just that: create things, sell handmade items […]
3 years ago *gulp* this project started. It was going to be my first ever patchwork quilt and ofcourse I didn’t start with something small, but went for a blanket instead. And ofcourse I didn’t follow any pattern but made up my own. (if you would like to see the […]
It hardly seems possible, but do you remember this scarf? I can go on and on about how long it’s taken me, but the point is that I finished it! I actually finished something for the first time in ages! Yay for me! 🙂 But most importanly: big brother loves […]
A little boy who’s nuts about mushrooms has his birthday coming up, and besides getting him a ‘real’ present I wanted to make him a mushroom. Since he’s turning 2 it needed to be pretty sturdy, and in bright fairy-tale-mushroom colours. (this one is loosely based on the mushrooms of […]
It’s been a year since this party, so there will be another one soon. But more about that later on. Ofcourse I had to make some gifts at the last moment so I spent an evening at my sewing machine to make this: They’re beanbags. I filled them with dried […]

UPDATE: go here for the tutorial! These are some toadstools I made last autumn. They looked cute on the seasonal table, between my pretty bright orange pumpkin and my boy’s chestnuts. They are very easy to make; when I have the time I’ll make a little DIY tutorial. toadstool felt
