winter knitwear

The knitted striped sweater pattern you can find in my E T S Y shop. The pattern is written English and Dutch.

striped sweater

Ahoi!

Today was the first day I was wearing my brandnew knitted striped sweater.
Last winter I've been living in my two knitted sweater dresses, so I thought I might be great to knit something new for my winter wardrobe.

If you would like to knit your own striped sweater, you can find the pattern in my E T S Y shop. The pattern is written in Dutch and English version.

You can also knit the sweater in red & white and play Where's Waldo?

about white trees and an angel

White wooden x-mas trees have always been the most popular.
During the last weeks I received a few requests about white trees.
This morning I've made a few more white trees...in the sun!
You can find them in my E T S Y shop.

The cutest little angel is made by my dearest friend Rosa. Isn't she dinky? Rosa makes the most beautiful dolls, called Stella By Rosa and you can find her shop H E R E.

my heart goes bamboom

Some weeks ago we spotted this vintage bamboo chair in a wonderful bric à brac boutique and my heart went bamboom!

We took it home and now it's standing in the livingroom, my heart goes bamboom bamboom.
The seat is a bit low (just how i like it) and is a perfect coffee/read/knit/crochet chair.

The portrait of our son Minne when he was only 3 years old, also makes my heart jump. It was made 20 years ago in France and I do remember the cute curly blond boy, like it was yesterday.

red wealth - soviet design

The exhibition Red Wealth - Soviet Design 1950-1980 at the Kunsthal, illustrates the history of Soviet design in a fascinating overview. It is so colorful, inspiring and surprising!
Highly recommended to visit in the coming months, certainly great fun for children too.

Today we initially went to Rotterdam to see the exhibition of Keith Haring, we both are fans of Keith Haring since the 1980s... (more on that later)

december workshop

December workshop!

Heb je zin om een plantenhanger te leren knopen?
Martine van Studio Suikerzoet vroeg me een workshop te geven in haar nieuwe conceptstore Liebling.
De plantenhanger workshop is aanstaande woensdagavond 9 december om 19:30 uur bij Liebling Conceptstore & More, Burgstraat 27 in Gorinchem.

Heb je interesse? Geef je dan H I E R op!
Er zijn nog een paar plaatsen vrij.

Tijdens de decembermaand kun je de geknoopte hanger ook gebruiken voor een sfeerlichtje, door de plant te vervangen voor een glazen pot met waxinelichtje.

hello december

The tree is up!
