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!

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.

 

Wally says bonjour!

 It was the first time we made such a long trip with our vintage camper; all the way to France.

The journey had ups and downs, but we had so much fun!

We are very proud of what we have achieved with little Wally, it was definitely an unforgettable holiday!

 

 

Baby Mobile 

When a little one is born, it is often nice to give something unique as a gift. Or maybe something whose theme really fits the birth announcement.

This baby mobile can be made in different designs, don’t hesitate to ask!

Note: one of the figures has a rattle in it, which makes playing even more interesting.

Nude Dudes in town!

Look at those pretty little bearded faces! Each one made by Aniek Schiepers and sold by the awesome brand DDL! 

They travel all over the world in their beautifully designed packaging. 

If you want to own this unique doll, go to Dicks Don’t Lie.

Animal lover

If you are a dog lover and just want to show this off, you can do so by having his or her name embroidered in cross stitch. Together we can choose the right colors and the frame, send me a PM or take a look in my Etsy shop for the possibilities!

 

 

Summertime

One of the things I like most about summer is being able to do handicrafts in the garden; between the greenery and the birds...and now and then with your feet in the pool!

Wine Gums

Who would have thought that embroidering a wine gum could be so much fun! Especially if the customer has a good reason for it and the work therefore acquires a deep meaning.

Wine gums are the best!

Star Wars

It’s not the first time I crocheted a Star Wars figurine, but this one is overly cute, don’t you think?!

It looks like baby Yoda feels very comfortable in his cosy little hover pod…

 

Dinant

And again we made a little roadtrip with Wally; this time we visited our other neighboring country. The historic town of Dinant in Belgium had to endure a lot in the First World War, but it has been beautifully restored.

Be sure to visit a bakery with the famous Dinant cookies, they are very artistically made and a feast for the eyes!

 

 

Old habits die hard

Even though I currently work a lot with needle and thread, the workbench always retains its appeal.

That’s why making simple silver ear studs on behalf of someone special is a lot of fun!

 

Camperlife

Whe’ve been out and about with our vintage Bedford Hymer Blitz campervan. What a lovely trip it was!

The trip went through the beautiful landscape along the Moselle; with vineyards as far as the eye can see.

Stormy weather

You wouldn’t say that it is going to rain and be stormy.. Quickly enjoy this moment to work outside on a new embroidery assignment!
