MikasCrap

Update!!!!

 

 

Yep daar was ik weer........Na bijna een jaar niets van me gehoord te hebben pak ik nu de draad weer op met Mikascrap.

In het kort even het laatste jaar:

-9 maanden zwanger geweest en bevallen van een prachtig dametje (Skyler Bowie)

- Diverse verbouwklussen in huis gedaan, maar mooi dat het geworden is.

- Noodgedwongen afscheid genomen van mijn baan.

- trotse eigenaar geworden van een volkstuin.

- Diverse concerten, vakanties etc

Maar misschien wel het belangrijkste................

-Veel te weinig op creatief gebied ondernomen.

Maar zoals je nu begrijpt is dat laatste verleden tijd. Ik bruis weer van de nieuwe ideeen en dat heeft geresulteerd in een nieuwe uitdaging samen met " een partner in crime"  en een doorstart voor Mikascrap.

Studio Velvet

The place to be for creative mess!

Ik wil natuurlijk nog niet alles verklappen maar als je nieuwsgierig bent hou onze facebookpagina (helaas is de knop, vind ik leuk nog niet toegevoegd dus zoek ons even op) in de gaten. Er gebeurt daar voorlopig nog voldoende om door ons geinspireerd te raken op creatief gebied maar ook op het gebied van lifestyle, fashion, en mindfullness is er genoeg te halen. Tevens kun je volgen hoe onze prachtige website tot stand komt en wat ons hoofdprodukt gaat worden. 

Hoop jullie op facebook en hier te zien.

Stay tuned,

X :) Mika

 

Studio Velvet!!!

More to come soon!

Best time of the year.....

I know it's a lil bit early but I love this season!!!!! Today I bought a lot of lifestyle magazines and they are full with x-mas ideas. I have so much new ideas. Tonight I am gonna work at my handmade x-mas cards and I can tell you they look beautifull. 

Back soon.

Knitting

Just a short post today. Autumn is the time to make it cozy inside and start some new knitting projects. The picture above make me every time I see it smile. What a great way to save all kinds of wool and cotton. Hope I find something like this sometimes on a flee market.

First project is a second hat. I love all the bright colors this season so think there will be more.

What are you up to today?

Hi guys, 

I know it was a long, long, long time ago that I made a new post.

Reason for that? There is a lot of going on in our family. My mother got bad news about her health a few months ago and it was so hard to handle for everyone. It freaked me out and the last thing I wanted to do was being creative and make posts. But I can say I missed you all. You make me happy with al your new projects and great idea's to get into the fall and x-mas mood.

I am looking forward to better times and no worries about my sweet mom.

Ok, enough about the sad news and unhappy thoughts. There is also good news to share. Last month I started a new business with a friend of mine. We love to bake and decorate pies and cupcakes for such a long time so we tought that it would be fun to start our own lil' web shop.

I can present you, from today: Kruimels It's the place to be to book a workshop in the Netherlands for decorating pies and cupcakes. We also make cakes, pies and cupcakes in all designs to order and hosting children and company parties. This afternoon we celebrated that our website is online. Curious? Just take a look at, Kruimels 

Back soon,

Minibook Antwerpen

Last month we visit Antwerp. I was there with my mother en Maartje en we booked a girls weekend. Men where not aloud. We spend a lovely weekend with a lot of shopping and good food and drinks. It was great to spend time with these ladies. In the regular day's there is not much time to talk about all thing in life so this was a great opportunity to catch up with each other. 

The pictures from this weekend where perfect to make a mini book. I did the freestyle way. I love to work with what I find in my studio and because there was not manny (I have to go shopping) there was a challenge for me. Think it worked out great. 

Did Somebody have other great ideas for making a mini book? Love to see other books.

We prepare this weekend our holiday trip. Sunday morning we are leaving to the Canarische islands for two weeks.  We gonna enjoy the beautiful weather and spend time with the three of us. It is about 27 degrees out there, so I think we will have a great time. 

I prepared a few post for when I'm not around so stay tuned

Perfect saturday event!

Yesterday I had a great saturday. I went with Maartje to a big event with all kinds of interior and design styles in Amsterdam. A lot of inspiration was going on there. They built a few houses inside the event room with suggestions for designing your bed/bathroom, living-room and sold all kind off home accessories. 

Yep I'am one of that girls that can decide on a sunday morning lets paint the whole house green and buy another chair and couch!!! So for me, the place to be for a lot of new ideas My boy friend is used to the fact that I have that home creation spirit around sometimes and he gives me the space, to try what I want in our house. Most of the time he also fill things up with homemade accessories, our furniture. So you understand that I love this event so much.

What I saw?

 

A beautiful bedroom with perfect pillows. Not my style but I think you feel like a princess in this bed.
 

This one is more my style for a bedroom. Looks like ours.
 

Totally in love with this simple lamps. You see design is not expensive if you make it by yourself.
 

Ok I hear all that Ooooh and Aaahhh's this is dream studio furniture!!!!

 

And what you think about this beautiful chair? ( do you like my nerd glasses?)
 

I picked up a lot of nice idea's so I hope to realize this.

P.s. Sorry for not being around so often the last months. There are a lot of depressing things going on in our family so my head is not always's in the mood for blogging.

P.s. 2 Hope to visit you soon.

Hi guy's,

Just got back from Antwerpen. Visited the city with my mom and niece and really had a good time. 

I've been there at least ten times but I'am in love with this city. Most of the times I visit Antwerp with my boyfriend and see a lot of modern art. But this time....., girls only. We did a lot of shopping, talking, drinking, eating and visited the Momu (fashion museum) Girls I had a great time and I loved your company.

Back to a lil eye candy right now.

My eyes felt on this book. It's full with houses from people with a style crash, think it looks almost as doll houses. I'am a big fan of watching in other peoples house. 

  

The book called "The Selby is in your place" and is made by Todd Selby .The website is really cool so if you look fore some inspiration just check it out!
