READY FOR 2013

I spend some days at my parents' house during christmas. My mother made this beautiful and tasty chocolate-raspberry-brownie-pie with whipped cream. Hope you've had a nice christmas.

I have gotten a little bit lazy due to the holidays. However today I started doing useful things again; I made the day-to-day calendar of Flow Magazine.

Flow Magazine is my favorite magazine, it has interesting and diverse articles and it offers small, creative craft paper materials. Unfortunately it's in Dutch, however they've come up with an international copy (click here to see where it's sold).

So, with the calendar completed I'm ready for 2013. Wish you all a good New Years Eve Celebration!

DIY LABELING

Finally a new post! I've been ill in bed over the last week, but I'm happy to be out of bed now. I'm moving around again carefully and creating small things. I made these labels for my cables because I never can distinguish which one is what, they all look the same.

I used a blue checkered ribbon with a white lace on one side, a pen and a needle with red thread. I wrote the name of the object (which belongs to the cable) on the ribbon. I wrapped it around the cable and fixed it with a stitch of red thread.

The labels aren't only functional, they also add a personal twist.
Hope you are having a good weekend.

Liefs!

WINTER SEASON IS COMING

It finally had arrived, the DVD of Moonrise Kingdom. A beautiful film by Wes Anderson with perfectly stylized absurd and comic scenes. I watched it this weekend together with my family.

While watching the movie we drunk tea and we ate 'pepernoten', which are Dutch small spiced cookies especially meant for the 'Sinterklaas'-holiday (our kind of Santa, but than different ;). As you can see Sinterklaas also brought some gifts, I'm wondering what's inside!
It was nice to sit warmly inside with the whole family. Meanwhile it's getting colder and colder outside, I started wearing my gloves last week, winter is coming...

Liefs!
