Earlier this month one of my friends on Facebook posted a photo of some very cute crafts she had received from someone. They were sent to her as part of a Craft it Forward Project. Craft it Forward is based on the idea of Pay it Forward: you make something for other people, and they [...]
Walking @ Lauwersoog with Eva, Gregorius, Nienke and Tessa. From left to right: the tree that Nienke threw Gregorius’ toy into, Eva & Nienke trying to get it out, and continuing the walk. Fabric Day at Verhildersum. Bags of coloured wool, an awesome! quilt, and a display of tin figurines in historical clothing. [...]
June 2nd was my Dad’s birthday, he turned 68. The party was fun, a good time was had by all :) Two days later I went for a walk at Lauwersoog with Eva, Nienke, Tessa (my dog) and Gregorius (Eva’s dog). It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, there was a gentle breeze, [...]

On both feet… I’m happy I finally took some major strides in putting my first puppet together I’m annoyed I managed to forget last week… I learned sewing all afternoon and a [...]
First, because I forgot them in the previous post, the state of the puppets now. All the body parts for George are now almost complete. I lost the bit I cut for his second arm, so will have to go through the boxes to see where it is, or cut a new bit. Once I [...]
I went shopping at the Pipoos craft store last week, again. I’m falling in love with it. It has things on all matters of crafting, from scrapbooking, sewing, felt work, painting, pottery, mosaicing and what not more. It is on occasion a bit more expensive than certain online shops I’ve found, but it has the [...]
I need more time. Or maybe just better time management… The puppets are feeling sorry for themselves since they’re still only just a body with a head (although I have made George a leg to go with his solitary arm, and I attached said arm). My Book Club books are also feeling neglected. I haven’t [...]
