About Me

update April 2012: on April 4th my little boy was born!

Mother to the cutest girl in the world since February 11th 2010. Married to the best husband in the world since May 9th 2009. I'm a primary school teacher, but can often be found up in my crafty room (aka our attic) making stuff and I find a lot of inspiration on the internet and blogs. I love fabrics and (re-)organising all the stuff in my attic.

Favorite Crafts

I craft mainly with felt, fabric, yarn and recently wood (yay, I have a scrollsaw now!). I love sewing, quilting (a little bit), I am also giving crochet and knitting a try. I love making items for our nature table too ( I love the patterns by Atletier Pippilotta). I'm trying out needle felting and wet felting. I try to use woolfelt only.

Favorite books/movies/tv

  • Mathilda (Roald Dahl)
  • Richard Scarry
  • Harry Potter
  • Eric Carle
  • Annie MG Schmidt
  • Charlie and the chocolate factory (the original with Gene Wilder, I'm looking for the DVD for months now! Update: I found it!)
  • Annie
  • Romeo&Juliet
  • Chocolat
  • Lord of the Rings
  • LOST
  • Gilmore Girls
  • Homeland
  • Game of Thrones I love fairy tales, especially Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel & Gretel. I love gnomes too!

At home

Our interior is a mix of Cath Kidston, Greengate, PIP Studio with thriftshop finds and things I make. I love going to brocante shops, fleamarkets and charity/thriftshops to find things I can use in our home or garden. We have a nature table that I try to change every month.

I like...

  • Polkadots! (for fabric: especially other colours than white on a colour, I have enough of those for now!).
  • Natural materials like wood, felt, wool, linen and paper
  • Red, pink, white, duck egg blue
  • Christmas / owl / mushroom / apple / heart / gnome / rainbow fabric!
  • I spy fabrics
  • Heather Ross, Alexander Henry, Amy Butler, Michael Miller fabrics
  • Whimsical / woodland things
  • Gnomes!
  • Little Red Riding Hood / Hansel & Gretel (I love the images of gingerbread houses...)
  • Buttons (red are my favourite)
  • Wooden spools, I also collect mushroom knitting spools
  • vintage sewing /knitting related images
  • vintage blue bird images
  • Japanese fabrics
  • Cath Kidston, Greengate, Pip studio
  • cute decotape / ribbon / trim
  • Cupcakes (cupcake toppers)
  • Cookie cutters (still looking for woodland shapes like mushroom, owl, leaf, gnome)
  • Martha Stewart craft items
  • miniature kitchen or sewing/craft things (for a dollhouse size 1:12)
  • Magazines: Martha Stewart Living
  • simple patterns for baby clothes
  • wool felt, love the marbled felt (sprookjesvilt)
  • patterns to make felt waldorf items (like flower children) to put on a nature table
  • I collect Ostheimer wooden figures

Dislikes...

Colors: orange, purple, black, brown (unless in a natural object), neon colors (for fabric: no solids please). The smell of smoke. Fabric/things with Disney figures on it or specific for a country/state/football team etc.). I'm allergic to dogs. No toiletries/perfume/jewelry please (allergies again...) Nothing religious please (any religion). I have tried ATC's and scrapbooking, but they are not really my thing.

Comment: Sadly, the bunnies and eggs arrived broken. The ends of the box had ripped open so other than the toothpick Dutch flag and a felt flower, anything that wasn't in the ziplock had fallen out. It looked like one end had been sealed with scotch tape? However, Zev LOVED the leather pouch with coins. He had made a similar one last summer and wondered how you had gotten his :); I loved the fairy postcard. You have inspired me to a) learn how to make a felt mat-Zev loved it, and b) buy a tag punch. We have an abundance of watercolored paper from school, of course, and while I have hand cut tags, the punch really does look wonderful. Thank you. Happy Spring!
Response: I'm so sorry it arrived broken and opened :-( Someone at our or your postoffice must be very nosy. I had taped it extra to prevent this from happening... I'm glad the main things arrived at least and you and Zev like it!

Response: Fijn dat je 'm ook leuk vindt! Het is ook zo'n simpel patroontje, dat je er zo een paar hebt gemaakt!

Comment: Ik heb je pakje ontvangen en ben er erg blij mee. Leuk dat je er poppenhuisspulletjes bij hebt gedaan, had ik totaal niet verwacht, leuke verrassing dus. Als je eens iets nodig hebt van meubels ofzo van hout, wil ik dat best voor je maken. Bij ons op school heerst ook vreselijke heftige buikgriep, maar ik heb hem nog niet gehad. Hoop dat zo te houden natuurlijk. Groetjes Annebeth
Response: Fijn dat je het leuk vindt! Ik hou je zeker in gedachten voor de poppenhuis dingen, bedankt voor het aanbod alvast en het raten!
