A little thank you to my customers...

Tonight while I was felting on Christmas custom orders, it crossed my mind that many of my customers will give their purchases from my shop away as a X-maspresent.
I certainly hope they will turn a smile on the face of the receiver.
I wanted to say thank you for loving, supporting and sharing my work and giving joy to others! It makes me *glow*... which is appropiate this time of year ;)

Secret Santa

Meghan from the European Streetteam organised a secret santa. If you wanted to participate, you had to sign up and fill out a questionnaire. She paired up all the participants and send us a convo to who we had to send our secret santa gift to. In the convo there were details about what the person liked or not. I have had so much fun making it - especially because the person I'm sending it too is also a lovely and sweet personality. I hope she'll be happy with it! Happy holidays to everyone!

My treasury made the frontpage!

Yay! I made an all European treasury yesterday and it made the frontpage!

All the featured artists are members of the EST, European Streetteam and they are such a heartwarming crowd that I think they all deserve to be on the frontpage!

Happy customer

Some time ago, I sold two necklaces to Catt. She asked me if I could send one of the necklaces to her cousin in Australia.
It was for her birthday and for being so special to Catt.
I giftwrapped the item nicely and added a handmade scratching card (special birthday edition) with the package. So nice to hear she was thrilled about her present and I received photo's from this happy customer.

Soft felted necklaces

The funky felted necklaces were so warmly welcomed, it just made me really happy!

Then I thought that there might be people who like more soft colors, so I made a series of soft felted necklaces... I like to work 'ton-sur-ton' so it was fun to make and hopefully easy to sell... ;)

Creative cooking

After years of postponing buying a new kitchen, we just couldn't wait any longer. The old cabinets and stove were nearly falling apart and just started to look really sad.
I love to sit in the kitchen. It's my favorite part of our house.
My little atelier is part of the kitchen too as it's right above it, like a vide, so I'm actually always in the kitchen. I mostly do my felting in the kitchen as you can see on the pictures below. Sometimes it's just really messy when I need to cook and all my supplies are laying around. I like to call it 'creative cooking' :)
I love to cook. Unfortunately I'm on a elimination diet for my allergies at the moment, so I don't have fun cooking because I can hardly use any ingredients! :(
But hey, see me in a couple of weeks: all slim and goodlooking! Perhaps I should do a before and after. :)
I can't describe how much fun it is in this kitchen. We should have done it years ago because now we have all the comfort I already wouldn't want to miss for the world anymore!
But still a lot of work to do: put tiles up and paint it in a nice bright & happy color...
Especially for Renate, I took some 'before' and 'after' photographs!

Frontpage by twolefthands

Twolefthands certainly doesn't have two left hands!

Actually, she has golden hands as she put this gorgeous treasury together which made it to the frontpage today! YAY! Thanks so much, Lefty! ;)

'My feelings' were in it and I got convo's from people telling me how much they liked them but they were unable to purchase them.

I told all those people the same thing: I actually don't want to sell them! ;) They are 'my feelings' you see. I just put them on Etsy to be able to create other people's feelings. If they do sell, I will have a hard time parting from them! But hey, that's life! :)

It already makes me happy that people enjoy looking at them and you know what? That's absolutely FREE!!! :)
