More cozies !
Crochet is just addicting, I am more and more sure of it! I am making a coloured draft stopper for my bedroom and between one color and the other I like to create something else...and here's yesterday night's result! I watched a movie and in the meantime made two news phone/iPhone/mp3 cozies... white and mint cream... of course with the cherry on top!! enjoy!

CupCake crochet phone cozy
I made this crochet cozy as a gift for my sister in law for xmas... and when I saw her face when she opened the present, I wanted to make tons more! I love to see how simple things can make people happy. and it's fun to keep your mobile phone, Iphone or mp3 player safe with something that is also cute and looks yummy :)
I'll be now working on a series of these, hoping to receive custom orders :) it's a lot of fun to experiment with different colors for the icing and decorations!

Winter Delight
today I was biking to the post office to send a package to Austria and I had to stop and take a couple of pics...the light was so beautiful I could not resist! so you can see also a bit of the surroundings of my house.
it feels really strange because it seems winter just arrived and it's mid january already!

In the Vintage Mood...
first of all, happy new year everyone!
I hope you had a great start of 2012. I surely did, I started the year with a wonderful trip to the South of Italy to visit some friends I haven't seen in years. It's been great: breathtaking landscapes, lots of nice foods and endless talks.
And now that I'm back, I feel really energetic and active.
So I started my new production with some vintage inspired resin jewels. At the moment these are the items I enjoy most: finding the little figurines is a lot of fun, as well as matching glitter and images for the background.
I hope you enjoy these new necklaces and brooches!

Kerst op de Kaap 2011
Yesterday I took part in the lovely xmas event Kerst op de Kaap in Katendrecht, Rotterdam. First of all, the weather was great! We only had two big showers in the late afternoon, when the market was almost finished, so that's way more than I hoped for!
There were a lot of people, kids running around, fun music, and I sold 15 items, which is a really nice result. I also got a lot of compliments and nice comments, and it's so nice to see how much handmade makes people happy!
I also had lovely neighbours, warme schokolademelk and great food :) and now a few pics!

working space - work in progress
in the last few days I decided to stop complaining that my house was always a mess and decided to do something about it. so, I finally did what I kept procrastinating since a few months for no real reason: I organised my working space. I finally have my own table(s) to work on, and a space that I can leave messy or tidy or however I feel like, because it's my little creative piece of heaven.
I have a small table which I can use for the "dirty" or messy part of my creative process, such as pouring resin or using glitter. the big table can be used to put the jewelry together, prepare packages and so on. the boxes contain supplies or finished items ready to pack, and I put a small plastic piece where I seat so I can work with fimo without touching the table directly. to make the place more colorful and inspiring I added a cork board that I can use for images and tiny things, and wires to hang my ATCs collection. on the far left of the image you can also see that I also have my small oven close by, to cook the jewelry, and bits of bubblewrap to pack them.
here you have a couple of pics of the space (still a bit messy, lots of stuff on the floor which needs to go...)

more pics of the finished space will follow...for now, I can't wait to start using it! I am so glad I invested some time and a bit of money to do this...definetly worth the efforts!

Dawanda SMS alert
I only recently discovered a free service by Dawanda (oh my, I must be the slowest - and last person to discover this, but okay...) which I find great.
It's basically a sms alert which automatically sends you a text message when you sell something in your shop. I am pretty sure you all knew about this - but just in case, I wanted to let you know! You should definetly check it out.
