New designs!

 It’s been quite a long time ago I added new designs to my jewelry collection, but finally it happened!

Now you can own a lovely guineapig, croissant, a bottle of wine or one of the other new brooches.

You can find them in my Etsy, Instagram or Facebook shop!

 

Turtle Mania!

 What a wonderful crochet pattern from LolaCrafts: 

one big mother turtle with a lot of baby turtles as a memory game. Every small turtle has a colored belly; you need to combine the two matching colors.

When the game is over, you can store everything nicely by putting the little turtles in the big mother turtle!

Bodi

 When a baby is born, it is always nice as new parents to receive a gift that has a special meaning. Give them an embroidered version of the birth announcement as a tangible reminder!

you can order your personal embroidered version via PM or Etsy.

On their way!

 Today this package went to an Etsy customer:

a nice handmade wooden frame with the embroidered quote ‘Steekje los’ (a screw loose), together with a hand-knitted necklace with a unique wooden twig as a pendant.

 

 

Happy Father’s Day!

 To all kinds of fathers in the world I would like to say:

Happy Fathers Day!

Don’t hesitate and send a lovely card to them by airmail!

 

Embroidery

 This week starts with a new assignment: 

converting a birth announcement into a cross stitch embroidery.

Love to make these!

 

Pentecost

 Besides making jewelry and all kinds of objects, 

I love to visit markets and ‘collect’ vintage clothing and accessories.

But sometimes you have to declutter again; the annual  Pentecostal market in Kanne in Belgium is a great way to sell your collection!

It’s all about unicorns!

When a customer asks to

embroider something and he comes up with this idea,

 you certainly don’t hesitate!

‘I was like, “whatever bitches”, 

and the bitches whatevered

Happy Mother’s Day!

To all kinds of mothers on earth I would like to say: 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Thanks for being here and enjoy this special day!

 

 

On its way!

This cute little pineapple goes all the way to Australia! 

The feeling that someone far away buys a piece of jewelry from your shop and wears it on the other side of the world is so awesome! That’s what this is all about: sharing joy and happiness!

 

King’s Day in the Netherlands!

King’s Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The date, 27th of April, marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander.

Often the party is celebrated in the colors red-white-blue (the Dutch flag) or orange, because the royal family has the word 'orange' in the family name.

Happy Easter everyone!

Easter is the celebration of new life. 

Usually I buy grape hyacinths and daffodils to bring the spring feeling into my home. This year I got them as a gift, including the tiny yellow chicks!

But what would Easter be without chocolate eggs and the Easter bunny?!

Buy this cute bunny with socks in my Etsy shop!

 

Inspired by the birth announcement 

It’s always nice to give a unique present to cherish and remember an unique moment.

If you also want a approximation of your original newborn's birth announcement in cross stitch (or perhaps want to give it as a gift), please contact us: info@aniekschiepers.nl

 

On its way

Love to see my little brooches travel around the world!

This one is on its way to Italy.

If you would like to have a brooch or any other unique handmade item, please visit my Etsy shop! 

Valentine’s Day

Instead of a traditional Valentine’s heart, I decided to crocheted an anatomical model.

Framing the heart seems to turn it into a museum piece.

 

Original Nursery Gift

If you want to give parents with a newborn baby a truly original present, then the name of the newly born in cross stitch is an unique item!

A handmade framed embroidery, inspired by the birth announcement, is a beautiful memory to cherish en hang in the nursery.

 

Snowy landscape

Wow, it felt as if we were back in our childhood;

such a special feeling to be able to sled and walk through a thick layer of snow again!

The world suddenly changed into a beautiful white landscape.

 

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Added another member to the Star Wars family: 

Grand Admiral Thrawn.

One of my returning customers is a big fan of star wars, so every once in a while I crochet a new figurine to add to the collection!

 

Happy New Year!

Time flies; it’s almost 2023!

Here you can see the most precious moments from the past year. 

Thank you all for your support and I wish you al a Happy New Year!

 

Almost Christmas!

It’s that time of the year again: lots of warm wishes for everyone out there:

Merry Christmas!

…can you spot little kitty cat?

Baby Mobile with music

This is a very special and rare example of a customized baby mobile! It shows us the two sweet house cats and mom and dad's hobbies: playing the piano and woodworking.

Can you think of anything more personal than this nursery gift for the newborn baby girl?

 

’Toffe Peer’

Someone ordered this unique collar brooch in my Etsy shop and asked if it was possible to send the package very quickly, ‘cause she wanted to wear the brooch on a photo shoot.

Such a compliment!

 

The last nude dude Roger

It was so much fun to make tiny Rogers; with their little butts, chest hair and socks. 

But as they say: all nice things come to an end.

A lot of these little dudes found a new home now and they live all around the world!

But you never know, maybe new dudes will pop up somewhere in the future…

Teapot on its way!

As you might know, you can order a lot of handmade items in my Etsy shop. 

This teapot is now on its way to the United States. 

The idea of someone wearing your brooch on the other side of the world is so cool!

 

Happy Halloween!

I had never carved or decorated a pumpkin before. This October was the first time and I loved it!

It’s a really fun way to get creative with seasonal attributes.

Personal gift

What can be nicer than receiving a tangible memory from a loved one when your child is born or has a birthday?

A handmade frame with the embroidered name and/or date of birth of your child is such a unique gift!

Feel free to ask what I can do for you or take a look at my Etsy shop.

 

 

Rabbits and carrots

These little rabbits are all about their carrots! And for even more fun, one of them has a rattle in his belly. 

This unique handmade baby mobile is on its way to a brand new little sprout.

 

Green mecca

The living room is starting to look a bit like a jungle; more and more plant species are making their appearance.

They are not only a great source of inspiration for my color choices in my work, but also provide a nice environment to work in!

 

One year old!

Holly Mae celebrated her first birthday, look how cute she is!

Here she proudly shows her unique handmade birthday present.

A beautiful memory of this special moment to cherish in her own room.
