I make lots of things. Yet my Etsy store is mostly always empty. One could doubt my productivity as a result from that. But I have to correct here. Of course I’m not as productive as I would like to be. I should spent less time online and more time in my ‘atelier’, yet I [...]

Monday Monday

Today (my Monday, your Tuesday) I finished another nightgown. This one I made from about 40 year old cotton fabric. It has a pattern of pretty tulips in the colours red / pink / light blue on an off-white background. The soft and tender touch of this vintage fabric feels very comfortable on the skin. [...]
Pure Linen

And yes: another project finished. I work in a 400 years old environment with walls from natural stones and lots of old oak wood. Therefore I decided I wanted to have a skirt to blend into that environment. And what’s better for that 4 centuries old feeling than pure unbleached linen? Right. There isn’t. Besides rough leather, but that’s a slight [...]
Nighty Night!

Yes. It’s been a while. That really doesn’t mean that I’ve been zipping Champagne and sitting in my garden, between the beautiful rosebushes. Oh well. That too… But I’ve been doing projects as well. There was just a lack of discipline to put ‘em on here. I’m really going to try to be a better [...]
What I like doing best…

I just love to go and hunt for fabrics, wool and items I can use for making my bags (or other projects). Yesterday I stumbled upon a very ugly used bag. It was as good as new, but ugly. The clasp was pretty, though, and I’ve never seen one before. I immediately knew this was going [...]
Amboise Hobo Bag

Although Hogi Bag sounds less insulting to a bag this feminin and elegant. It’s a girl’s bag, not for boys! While preparing for my trip to Amboise, it came to mind that I once bought a nice piece of fabric with the name ‘Amboise’. What I particularly liked about this fabric, is that it’s a [...]
I entered a challenge

I really should have found out about Etsy years ago. It’s amazing how this ‘community’ (it isn’t really that, but I couldn’t think of another description) has already changed my life. It started with finding out about the European Street Team. A group of Etsy people from Europe who joined each other. I thought it [...]
My fist listed item on Etsy

I did it. It took me about forever, but the first bag’s on Etsy! (Just in case you are clueless on what Esty is all about… Etsy is a website to buy and sell handmade items. You can find most everything on this website. Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/) So. I’m on Etsy (and Twitter, but [...]
