Valentine Blog feature!

Hi guys! Are you getting ready for valentines? Personally I'm not one to 'decorate the whole house' one Valentines day, BUT I just generally love romantic gifts, sweet finds and love/heart accessories.. throughout the whole year!

Kristina from PaintedbytheShore has a wonderful blog where she just posted some lovely items for Valentine under $20! And one of my paper garlands was featured! Yay!

 

Pretty Patterned Paper!

Happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a bit of my stash of pretty patterned paper! I love that the paper has a different pretty pattern on each side, just looking at it makes me smile!

 

Finally.. A YoP Update!

I know I know.. I have been so quiet.. No YoP posts for .. a looooong time! Our little Kitty cat Nala has also been on intensive care (in our home) for the last couple of weeks... (here's the reason why by the way) so things have been a bit 'out of whack at home..

But today I am posting a YoP update! Yay!

Because of Nala I couldn't focus on patterns, so Ive been mainly working with my felt plushies and knitting-wise I've done a lot of 'instant gratification' projects.. Lots of comfy scarves being armknitted at the moment! You can find a few posted in this FO Friday post, and I even put three up for sale in my Lily Razz Shop! These two are my favourite ^_^

PinkRibbon Donation

As you might know October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I'm lucky that I myself, nor someone close to me, have not been diagnosed with breastcancer, but I do think it's important to support this cause. 

 

At the beginning of "Pinktober" I decided to donate $1.00 of every sale I made with my Etsy Shop during October, to PinkRibbon.nl. With 9 sales this month it may not be a whole lot of money, but together with a bit of my own funds... every little bit helps, right?

Supporting the fighters, Admiring the survivors, Honoring the taken, and never giving up hope!

Rembrandtpark Festival, Amsterdam

Hi you! Did you miss me? I'm sorry I've been AWOL for the last two weeks, but here I am again! Time can fly when you're busy, right? Let me show you what I've been up to!

 

Last week I had a craft fair in Rembrandtpark.

 

We were so lucky with the weather, as it had been postponed one week due to the rain.. Can you see the sun shining while I'm setting up?

 

So..

So.. after a week of not knitting and preparing for the craft fair, I got a text message yesterday that the fair was postponed to next week because of the bad weather! I'm still a bit perplexed by it, and I'm wondering how many people will show up today, not having heard about the postponement.

Anyhoo, I did put my items up on our cupboard for the time being.. Looks like a happy bunch, right?

Treasury Tuesday

Bonjour! How are you? How was your Monday? And your Tuesday?

Yesterday was a fun day for me because I had been chosen to be featured in the treasury making of SELF TAUGHT ARTISTS TEAM members! Over twenty treasuries were made! So I'm dubbing today's post Treasury Tuesday, to showcase some of the wonderful treasuries made!

• Alive & Outside by April Kitcho-Lucero from DreamAlchemies

YoP Update

* moshi moshi! * How are you today?

We have had such a busy week, we're still moving and decorating and I've been putting all my craft supplies into our new cabinet.. I'm not yet finished, but I'm definitely doing a post this week showing you my craft supply organization so far! Today's post is about the crafting ^_^

Last week I started on the little knitted gift bags, and here they are now:

 

Fairy Pink Monday

Hello you. Today's weather has been awful. Just.. grey and windy, and the rain came pouring down. I hope your weather has been a bit better. If so, could you please send some sunshine our way?

I needed a pick-me-up when coming home, and this treasury made by Zehra from boutiqueseragun did just that! It's called Fairy Pink, and my newly listed Pink & White Cloud Garland was featured in it!

Flower Rattle Crochet Pattern

Hi you guys!

Is it Tuesday evening already? I have the feeling this week's gonna whizz by.
Today I'm releasing my flower rattle pattern. Or better yet, I just finished publishing it on Ravelry and Etsy!

 

Mood Board Monday - A rainy day

Hello you! Here in Amsterdam, the weather has been great (meaning lovely sunny and warm) for the last couple of weeks.. So it was a surprise to wake up this morning to a dark, gloomy, rainy day..

Here's a picture taken just a few streets from my house today! Yep.. That's usally the road!

how about taking things positively ^_^

Sweet like Chocolate

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was lovely!

It's Mood Board Monday again, and today's post was inspired by my latest creations, Sweet Chocolate Cupcakes!

Homespun Magazine Australia!

Hi guys!

I didn't want to say anything yet, but my Fish Candy Crochet Pattern will be featured in next month's issue of Australia's Homespun Magazine! ** excited jumps **

WIP Wednesday and FO Friday Combined!

Hello you! I thought that for once I'd combine my WIP Wednesday post (which I missed yesterday) and my FO Friday post, and put them in one Thursday post! Lazy, much? ;-)

So here's the status on my WIPs for today! I have a big pile of granny triangles waiting to be made into something!

 

Can you see the pile growing?

My Etsy Adventure

Hi guys! As you might know, I started up my Etsy store 'for realsy' a few weeks ago. And I have to tell you, it was falling down a rabbit hole!

So.. what happened?
