Trying my hand at something new

2011-10-19T11:20:00.000+02:00

I've been wanting to do this for a while now.... So when my husband took the kids and the dog for a walk while I was recovering from 3 days of migraine, I dove into my creativity. The best prescription to lift one's spirits. I used a lot of paint, gesso, gold, glitter and ink from the Ranger range and ta-dah: Flowers may fade but fragrant memory lingers She's painted in a

Flagline

2011-08-17T10:36:00.000+02:00

Still owed a photo of the flag line I made for my 8y0's b-day in July. I made one last year which in my opinion was prettier. On our visit to South-Africa in 2010 my oldest daughter turned 10 and I took the flagline with. Upon visiting one of my best friends I decided to do her a pleasure and gave her the flag line. This year my second child kept reminding me to have a finished one in time

Little Mona Lisa when she was still a poor girl

I've found her at a local market in Pende, Piccard, France. Was a lovely market with no tourists to be spotted apart from us. I saw her and fell in love with the browns(unfortunately not well seen on the photo), her simplicity and her observing glance. Love her.

Vintage Chandelier

2011-08-16T15:10:00.000+02:00

Got this beautiful vintage chandelier from my aunt. She bought it at a local market in Belgium. Isn't it beautfiul? I'm going to enjoy the light from it in my hobby room and later it will be moved to my downstairs toilet. I'm planning to give it the vintage charcoal/withered pink/cream look. Can't wait I've carefully cleaned it today and now it is up to hubby to mount it for me.

Kyla reversible dress

2011-05-30T22:24:00.000+02:00

I've been wanting to make this dress for a couple of months. Every time I started out I ran into the print sizing. I've been making e-patterns for some time now and didn't have any printing issues until I ran into this one. I still don't know why. It doesn't matter what I click or "un" click it just didn't want to work out. I've been mailing the author and probably made her crazy cause she can't
