a full Saturday

I woke up early today, with my two little kids,
I had a busy day ahead.
Jewelry classes in Antwerp with the talented jewelry designer Lotte Demey as teacher.
Learned a lot again, came home with many ideas, but a lot of practice has to be done!
I'll show you soon what I 've been working on.
For me it's luxury to be busy with metalworking and jewelrymaking from 10 AM till 4 PM, I wish I had more days like that, to work without being disturbed every 5 minutes!


Back home I shot some pictures for the Communion of my eldest daughter.
She is growing up a beautiful young lady, isn't she :-)

I had some time left to finish some pieces of my new eco-line (from leather scraps and sterling silver). (see pictures above and below)

And finally, I really hope that the volcanish ash cloud from Iceland passes over soon!
enjoy your weekend!

La Tulipe

I have been following metal classes for half a year by now.
Quite an organisation, as it takes place every monday evening. (and it's not in my neighboutrhood)
Anyway, Mr Hubby, the kids and I finally have found a routine in this: monday evening is my eve!
The metal class is all about techniques: soldering,filing, sewing,..
Fact is, I have to buy supplies and work tools one by one, as this is not the cheapest stuff, but I need them to work at home and to give form to my many ideas...


I really don't know where this classes and skills will bring me, well, we'll see,
The design above is an entry for the european Street Team Challenge hosted by Szusza of ZSBcreations with the lovely theme: Tulip!

The necklace is sterling silver and in my shop right now!
Go find some other beautitful Tulip entries on her blog.

pimping my wall

I brought this beautiful blossom sticker
from my Maastricht visit last year.
I don't remember the shop, but well, Maastricht is so small,
if you are there,just stroll around and you'll find it :-)

Finally it got a place in my house.
and it makes a nice match with my Leilaliloo print, for which I still need a frame.

recycling....

The thriftshop had some nice surprises for me!


would this probably make a nice combination?
