Making leather keychains

Hi you guys! I always feel it's been a while, since I spend/waste most of my social media time on Instagram lately. If you want to connect with me by the way, I'm there @lily_razz

But on to the fun craftiness I've been up to lately. Together with some other crafty gals in Amsterdam, we made a whole lot of leather keychains! (it was on commission, we had to make 200 in total) I'm so excited to show you! No tutorial today, just a show-off ;-)

 

Spring freebie crochet pattern!

Hello lovelies! I am so happy to wake up with the sun shining, the birds singing.. Spring is here!

I thought it would be nice to do a freebie! My Flower Rattle usually costs $4.00 to purchase, but for this week, you can download it for free! (link below)

I made this lovely rattle a couple of weeks ago for an Etsy customer:

 

The story is, that she's getting married, and she has a baby flower girl that she also wanted to have a flower. The colours match the bride's bouquet. Isn't that just adorable?

So if you want to make one yourself or one of your , please download it for free this week! Share it with your friends! I'd love to see how yours turns out! Click here for the pattern!

My little craft fail

Hey you. How was your weekend? I can't believe it's February already! Since I'm getting married in May (yes. I will remind you every blog post. obviously ^_^ ) my little crafty hands are eager to find new projects that are romantic, sweet and/or related to weddings... But every crafter has to admit that sometimes the project does not come out exactly perfect, right? I had something in mind, thought it would be cute and easy.. and it ended up.. as a little craft fail... here's the story..

I thought it would be cute to make a count-down calendar until the day of the wedding. You know, one where you can tear a page of every day, like this?

DIY Wedding Invitations

Okay, the date is set and that is why I've been so busy and not been able to blog a lot. But I just wanted to share with you that I'm getting married!! Yay!!

Fiancé and me are getting hitched on May 15 this year. Soon, right? And there's so much to do!!
But today I wanted to share with you my DIY'd wedding invitations! I'm kind of proud ^_^

This is it! It's a fold-out-booklet you have to pull out a burlap pocket (self-sewn might I add :P ), with a personal gift, a souvenir fiancé and me picked up in Thailand last holiday.

DIY Tuesday - 10 Wine Cork Crafts

Hello! How are you this fine Tuesday? If you're like me, you also 'collect' or save wine corks for possible future craft projects.. Here's my stash at the moment..

 

As you can see I don't have that much.. And it isn't growing as fast as I had thought! But I'm very positive that one day I'll have a lot! And so I've already checked out some wine cork projects for that crafty day!

Stash Additons!

Hello there! As you know I've been on vacation, and I have stashed up on supplies over there!!!!

Now in the Netherlands, supermarkets only mostly sell foodstuffs and toiletries.. So can you imagine my amazement when I walked into Walmart and saw a whole aisle of yarn! I think I shrieked of excitement! And I know fiancé went "oh this is bad" in his head.

So lemme show you what this girl bought!

Making Birds with Sand and Stones

Hello you.

I took this class a while ago, making birds with sand and stones!

 

So.. the ideas was to find a bird cutout that spoke to you., and fill it with colorful sand and stones.
