EST challenge and WEEKEND DEAL 15% off everything


Fairy Dream earrings


Dark Elfin Earrings

I did find some time last week to participate in the EST challenge.
This is a challenge of the European Street Team, every week, one of the members choses a new theme. It is a way to keep us creative and to discover new ways of inspiration. Every member is free to participate!

This week the theme was trolls, gnomes and... Elves. Hosted by Jealousydesign. (find her shop here.)
I am not so troll minded and as my designs are usually very feminine I chose for the Elves! But I came out with a 'troll' desing too, well I gave it the name 'dark Elfin' ;-)) They are both in my shop.




My Japanese garden earrings are back, find them here in my shop.



Alos Silk Lady Lady is back in my shop, lilac silk and turquoise stones on a copper chain! find it here.


This weekend I have a special promotion. Everyone get 15% off the entire order!! (I refund after purchase)
Maybe time to do already some Christmas shopping!
(voor Belgische klanten, mail me: fleurfatale@live.be, ik geef je de prijs in Euro door en mijn rek.nr.)

quiet blog, busy workspace





I know it's a bit quiet on my blog lately...

Well, I feel terribly tired these last three days :-(
The exposition weekend took so much of my energy...
On monday eve I had my goldsmith classes and on Tuesday eve I follow a course 'drugs prevention, guidelines for parents'.
So when hubby came home from work I had to leave and the next day it was not else...
I hope hubby is early home from work this evening, at least then we will have some time to talk about the past weekend (him in Sardinië, me in Bruges)....

I just baked a pile of pancakes with a little help from my son. 4 hungry kids and half an hour later nothing is left ...

and I have taken pictures of some new designs, again inspired on the colors and clothing of The Hill Tribe people in Vietnam (from which my Vietnamese daughter originates. Some of them are in my shop right now!

But I have been working on a big order too. Have a little patience, I will show you soon what a lovely Belgian lady (who now lives in Canada) ordered to sell in her Canadian shop ;- )

Monday Moodboard



Once upon a time....
Little red riding hood put on her lovely red leaf studs, and accompanied by a whistling winter wren she went into the dark misty wood to pay her grandma a visit!

She took her lovely petit gressier bag in which she carried a bottle of wine, some cookies and a pair of lovely vine earstuds as a present for her beloved granny.....

I am free today, don't have to bring my daughter to the therapy, as they are going to take a walk in the woods today with the school, ths inspired me, to make this Little Red Riding Hood collection, Roodkapje in Dutch :-)

My creative workspace (cold and frosty!)


We woke up to a frosty morning, but decided to beat the cold and packed ourselves in mittens, hats and shawls to bike to school!

And with the cold days to come, I feel more like felting, so soon The Silk Felted Divas will be back in my shop, well, you find already some here!


Lately I made a custom order for a sweet lady. She asked to make a felted necklace in greys,
hm, quite a challenge for me as I am a color girl!

But it turned out very well, and I decided to have one more in the shop!




Want to show your creative space? Hop over to Kootoyoo's to play! It's fun! :)

Inspired by nature


Back to nature necklace, in my shop.


Hubby is off to Sardinië for a congres, ...I always feel lost when he is gone...
But I am glad time will go fast as I have lots of work preparing for the 'open House' in Bruges.
Babysits are already reserved as I can't take the little kids with me the whole afternoon on saturday and sunday,
hm... don't know yet how I will manage the rides of the kids to gym, dance lessons and musical lessons on saturday (all different places and hours :-(....we'll see...

But it is wednesday today and I made it myself easy : I just put a ready made lasagna in the oven , kids like it and for me it's no work :-)
The weather is fine, hope to take some pictures of new designs.

And I managed to list some new things in my shop.
A new necklace for the Challenge theme: 'back to nature' hosted by Ravenhill, you can find the other entries on her blog.
Not difficult for me to be inspired by the shades of fallen leaves, peeping mushrooms and the last few orange sunrays falling through the branches. I just love this season !


And a necklace in my Japanese garden line, with Japanese Washi paper.
