Stoffenspektakel is back! Wooooo! A big fabric market that I used to visit every time it came to Rotterdam, is back! In Ahoy, on FRIDAY!! Wooooo! *dances around* Yes, I am planning on going there while my son is in school on Friday!
And yes, been working a bit this weekend. When your neighbor asks for help, you cant say no. Not even for curtains!
My very best childhood friend and me have recently reconnected. And being who I am, I need to make her kids something. Well and her as well. I need to give some of me even though I am far away. So, I cant tell just yet, what I have made (since she will probably read this) but I promise that I will place pictures as soon as she has received it!
We have been house hunting lately. Found an awesome house, placed a bid but boooom, outbid with 50k Euro. Sweet lord. So now we took a step back and will think through how much time we want to put on it. We have at least decided that we want to stay in the area, mainly because of our son.
Autumn is here which means more indoors and chilly weather. So not as much time anymore in the afternoon to create . But today, before getting my son, I finished a pillow case for my sister in law. She needed a spare one. 😀
Well, it has been quite a while since I last wrote here. The main reason is that the webpage service I had was SUPER slow and stuff like creating post didn’t work very well. So it took away all the joy of sharing my thoughts and creations away. But!!! Now I have “moved” service so I am back! Added some items in the shop last night and will add them on Facebook today or tomorrow. Here is what I have worked with since I last blogged:
First I want to wish you all a happy, healthy and covid19 free new year! Lets hope they get the vaccines out fast so we all can go back to normal living, hugging, socializing like we are used to.
I have made some stuff before Christmas, one big order to Sweden and my nephews Christmas gifts! 😀 Also tried making a pair of boxers for my son and he loved them! He said he barely felt that he had them on! Woooo!
Patterns are: Shirts is #swanktshirt from #puperita. Pants are #junglepants from #puperita. Boxers are #piratesbootyboxers from #patternsforpirates #p4p. Dresses are adjusted by me but originally #bluetitdress from #puperita.

So, here are this weeks creations! Hats hats hats!!!! Plenty of HATS! For a gaming friend, for my sons teachers and some friends. Hats everywhere!
Also, I made a small forest of Christmas trees, pattern from #patternsforpirates
Here in Netherlands, the 5th of December, Sinterklaas comes with a gift. You sing and dance, eat kruidnoten and pepernoten and kids gets a gift or 10. You dress up as his helper, Piet or as Sinterklaas himself. Now, there are not really any dress-ups for babies because the fabric you use is not suitable for babies. So, a friend of mine asked me to make a Piet dress-up for her 5 months old. This is the result!
Pants are from Jungle pants from Puperita, shirt is Jelly shirt from Puperita and hat from Sara and Jules.

Saturday is for me a workday. Because it means that my partner is home and can share the attention from our son with me. Since 2 weeks, my sons school is closed because quite some teachers has tested positive for Covid. So… I do not get much done mid-week when my son is home. But today, I stole some hours at the machine.
Pattern of the tights are Petite Pegs from P4P and the romper is from Puperita

A while ago, my partner got an idea ow to make a computer station to have at the couch. We always sit in our livingroom in the evenings and his laptop screen was becoming too small for the games he wanted to play. So, here we are, 2 weeks later, and tadaaa, he has build a station. And he needed my help with fabric around the foot pillow ofc! Not the most pretty things I have ever done but it serves its purpose.
Haha nah kidding. He was at a friends house kind of the whole day so mommy got some work done. (pictures below) The colors are not correct though, I had no natural light to take the pictures in. Autumn and all that. Anyway, I hope a girl in Sweden will be happy and feel like a princess!
All patterns are from Puperita except the hat one!
We have found out that 2 of my sons teachers has tested positive for Covid19, I am a but worried. But nothing I can do about the situation than to keep my chin up. So, I started clearing off my scraps that I have saved for… better days hehe. I can’t really sew when I have my son home, because I can’t hear him up to the 3rd floor. So cutting scraps it is. Well, it needs to be done so.. hehe.
