an impression

I've been working on new things lately,
my head is full of ideas
But I can let them only go one by one and slowly
as there is much other things in my head too...
A little impression...
will tell you more about it later...

ButtonThursday

I love using vintage buttons in my creations.
Can't be on any thrift market without bringing new old buttons home:-)


Here I combined with felted (from eco merino wool)pebbles, ethiopean silver beads distressed vintage wooden beads and beads made of a silk tie.
Natural,earthy and ecological!
I bought this horn button a while ago on a thrift market in Ghent,
it's a rough one, but I like that!



Do you want to know what Lady Gaga has with buttons?
Then quick hop over to Kraplap's blog:-)

Give-away winner

I used the idea of Artmind and let somebody pick a number on Twitter,Movezerb dropped the number: 22.

Vadjutka is the lucky winner this time! Congrats Judit!

but don't worry dears! This afternoon I am having a shopping day (in Ghent city) with my two eldest and maybe we'll find a cool little treasure for a next give-away?
Just keep an eye on my blog the next few days!

FOLLOW me on Twitter:-)

sun and daisies

Two weeks Easter holidays.
I hope I'll survive it!
We planned a lot, so I hope the kids don't get the time to get bored.
I do hope the weather is nice so there will be plenty of occasion to play outside.
And really I did not forget to plan some time for myself too. Having the kids around all the time, can be tiring :)
This afternoon the kids are out playing at friends,...

I am off soon (to do some shopping all by myself) but first I want to show something I have been doing yesterday.
I am sure you remember my felted Brooches, I was a bit bored making them, although lots of people like them, but I found another design and a great way to use my pile of vintage buttons :-)
It supposed to be an entry for the EST challenge hosted by Kraplap (theme : Button) , but of course I was too late to enter :-)
And while taking pictures I thought it would be nice as a postcard, isn' it?

Happy Easter!

I bought these cute japanese pins, back in Amsterdam some weeks ago.
in 'Het grote avontuur' (A tip I got from Maartje)

Just leave a comment and I will pick a winner (who will get these sweet tweet pins) next wednesday :-)

adiós...

oh, it's sometimes so hard to part with my creations, especially this one.
One of my African Touch collection, one of my favs...
Well, I am glad it's going to a very sweet Spanish lady who loves my work.
I am sure it will be cherished over there in Madrid!

I have only a few left of this collection,
I remember I made the most of them while mr hubby was with my daughter Meron in Jimma,Ethiopea.
As he plans a work visit to Ethiopea next september, and he can bring home some new strands of Silver beads, I think I will pick up the thread of this series again. :-)
