A small project I quickly want to share with you! I found these 2 fabrics on Etsy and fell in love with them right away. when they arrived I realized I had lace that went exactly with them color and style wise.

all together it had to become this pillowcase, and now I regret not having supplies to make more!

In August we will be travelling to the UK and the Netherlands, I will certainly keep my eyes open for this kind of fabric!

It is never too early for Christmas

Or that is my opinion at least! I usually start with Christmas items in August, and then I will make gifts and decorations for the house, when they are done I put them away until it is time to get out the lights and the tree.

This year I have decided I wanted to start a bit early, I would love to have a Christmas collection for the shop, but of course our house needs some extra decorations as well.

Because we moved last year I had to leave most of my decorations in storage in the Netherlands, and even though we had some really nice Christmas bits, there was a lot I missed.

For now I have started with a pillow case, with a star of different prints.

Christmas quilting fabrics are some of my favorite types of fabric's to shop for, whether it is for a gift or for myself, or as it is now, for the shop. It seems I have to go shopping soon, and get some new fabric's to freshen up the collection!

Etsy here I am!!!

Last Christmas I got the idea in my head about starting a little Etsy shop, it started out really small but soon it started to grow.

it grew fast! and the more I thought about it the more fun it seemed. making my crafts for other people to wear? I can think of a bigger honor.

So the work began, collecting supplies and building idea's, it was absolutely wonderful!

To start work on something, build its shape, add detail, it is great every single time.

Today is the day I opened the shop, it is extremely exiting and even a bit scary, but I am very happy it is open.

I do not have one style, there are many things I love, hairsticks for example, such a simple way of wearing your hair, but a hairstick with a pretty bead will alway's look great! and there are so many updo's!

I love to sew of course, so I had to have some sewn items, therefore I made pillowcases and aprons, there are so many things one can do with either of these items! 

And then I found a lace collar, I had to buy it without really knowing what to do with it.

But it did not take long and I decided to sew beads onto it, I wrote a blog about it a little while back.

Some of my inspirations are: Victorian era, Quilting, Long hair, Fantasy, Pin up, Lolita, Mori girl.

So, I declare the shop opened!
