owls

I experimented a little bit more with the leftovers from the embroideries and made these soft toys. I like the green/brown one most. I don't know what's wrong with the blue one, but I think I will have to figure that out.

experimenting

Sometimes I have a total lack of creativity. I hate it when that happens, especially when I have time (which doesn't happen that much). This week I had such a day and I was totally blocked, after some repair work (a lot of damaged trousers of the boys), I decided to make something out of the leftovers of the embroideries I work with. Unfortunately I didn't have much time left. I'm not satisfied with this piece, but I like the idea and I see possibilities for other soft toys.

vroem vroem and more

made some new products for my shop, no earth shocking news, but little things can make me happy....

lex and dex

a good friend just gave birth to a twin. she asked me to make two puppets, colourfull and happy, so we sat together and came up with these two fellows. she called the boys lex and dex before birth. I feel so honored, she used lex and dex for the card! I love how it turned out, she did a great job. Welcome Kasper and Ruben.

teus

today I visited teus. He is the newborn boy of a friend of mine. before Teus was born I visited my friend and she showed me the babyroom. She used this fabric from Ikea for decoration. So I decided to make her this tree out of the same fabric. I saw this idea on another blog or on whip up, I can't remember. I made my own figures and made the trunk a little shorter. welcome teus

little farmer

my mother asked me to make something for her cousin's baby. She asked me to make something in a farmer style, because he is a dairy farmer. For no good reason I postponed it a lot to make something. Maybe it's because I didn't know how to make a good cow and since he's a dairyfarmer, that's the one that should be good. I hope the cow is a approved and little William is happy with it.

guitarman

today was a busy day, we not only visited our niece but also went to visit maksim, welcome little boy...rock the rattle!

little fish

Made a new design for a baby rattle, mother and little fish. I think and hope the size is just right for baby hands. Maybe I will ask my nephew Willem to do a little test.

assignment

A good friend of mine gave me a first real assignment. She needed a few gifts and asked me to make them! I felt very honored. pink owl and guitarman rattle are two of the lucky ones. And last but not least I started selling my products in a lovely store in Zoetermeer, called "in en om". She sells beautiful products, I especially like the brand ferm. This month 101 woonideeen will do an article on her shop. I'm also thinking of starting a little shop on my blog soon....

orange eye

....if eyes could speak

red, yellow and bleu...??? although the red is actually pink. I did a lot of sewing in the sun.

Hijn

I finally made Hijn (Thanks Kristel for sending me the pattern). I was so stupid to make the first Hijn wrong, unbelievable it ended up the way it did, it looked so bad that I don't dare showing it. Luckily for Hijn 1, Jilles was very charmed by it and adopted it in his bed. one of the Hijn's is on his way to a pregnant friend.

little fellow

A while ago I made this little fellow for friends who expect their third child. My boys are a great test panel because immediately after I finished it they played with it and the rattle inside worked out just fine.

first babyshower

Yesterday I had my first baby-shower.... She's is expecting a girl, so I made this pink bird with a little sound in it. I love how the silver feet turned out, but it took me a lot of effort to make them, so I think this bird is unique and will stay the one and only of his kind.

blue rabbit

A boy is born, Guus! I made him this blue rabbit. The idea came from a little drawing. I made the drawing while Jilles and Stije were also making drawings, I used their crayons, that's why the coloring is ugly. But other than that ;-) I'm happy with the result.
