Beach bags

Hi,

A few weeks ago I start together with my mom a new project that I found on Vera's blog. Because the holiday season will be there soon I decide to make two beach bags, one for me and one for the lil one. We can use this on the beach in Greece where we will go at the end of the month.

It turned out great. The green one with the flower is for Puck she was so happy with it! 

 

And the red one is mine. Hope it is big enough to take everything with me.

 

They are really simple to make. 

- Take some leftover fabric you like.(it has to be strong fabric, so you can put your stuff in it) and buy grips you like. 

-Choose a patron you like. I love this one!

- Cut the fabric and stitch the sides together.

- Put the grips in the middle and put the fabric over it. We crimp the fabric and sew it together.

-Take the other grips and do the same at the other side.

-You can design it with flowers and other stuff you like.

Have fun, Mika

  
   

Making bags

Hi guy's,

When I was visiting Vera's  blog. My eye fell on these pretty bags. Can't wait to make one myself and bring it with me to the beach in Greece. (and of-course I make a lil one for Puck)

Is there someone who knows how I can make the lil rose with fabric? Please let me know.

Thursday I had a solicitation for a new job. It went great because they called me the next day that the job is mine if I like. Because I don't know if I will accept it, I agreed with meeting other people of the company. When it feels good I think I am gonna accept the job. The best thing is that it will start in July. So that means two months of vacation. Enjoy your Saturday night, i'll be watching some movies tonight and go to bed early. Our new bed is so nice.

A fresh week with ugly dolls

Happy monday guy's a new and fresh week started this morning. What are the plans for this week, uhh?

• Three day's of work
• Preparing and celebrating my birthday at saturday
• Pack my bags for a long weekend break with the whole family
• Visit your blog space
• Preparing a big birthday post.
• Work at my knitting projects
• Reading about starting my own business
• O... and buying finally red wing boots and pilot sunglasses

What are your plans this week?

To start your week with a creative boost some dolls that you can make easy with left over fabric.

 

The best about this dolls is that you don't have to work with a patron, make a drawing on paper. Cut the fabric and sew the pieces at each-other. Fill up with fiber fill and turn it into your own doll to give her hair, eyes a hat or else.

If you like I can put the patrons in the next post with a work description just let me know.

Love to hear what you gonna do this week,

X:)

     

Be dismissed?

It Started two weeks ago......! Is there something going on I asked my boss? Nothing wrong he said, don't worry. The structure in the organization is gonna change but no changes for you and your people he said. 

A week later the situation was totally up side down. My job as a manager doesn't excised anymore and all my departments are split from each-other. What a mess guy's, it is a strange feeling to know that my job is not longer mine from june this year. 

The last day's I keep telling myself that it is gonna be okay but at the other side I' am so mad at the organisation!!!!! What's the reason for telling me so late?, did my boss ly to me or was it a surprise for him either? And what is gonna happen with all that 40 people that I command? You understand that I'am not feeling well at this moment so that is the reason that I was not blogging the last few day's.

There is one good thing about this whole mess and that is that I gonna work three day's in stead of four day's till june and we agreed a bonus to get me out of the organization. It is not much but we can take it if I don't find a job.

Of-course I' am thinking what to do after June but more about that later. Time for some happy stuff instead of my lil depression.

The postman brought this last week......spring can come inn.

    

All that bright colors made me smile again. Made a lot of sewing plans with my mom  to make presents with this fabric. So maybe it is good that I gonna work three day's let creativity in (LOL)

And what do you think about my lil baby "WUP" t'shirt? It fits Puck great and if she moves it seems like the " "Wuppen" are moving with her.

 

And a few new plates. Love the black one with the pink around.

 

Back soon guy's with a lot of new stuff and let's hope some new plans for my future. So if anyone has a good job for me let me know.......

X Mika
 
 

 

 

 

 

Hats

Hi, 

My winter hat is finished, what do you think? 

It is my favorite projects in weeks and the fun stuff is that I started some more in all kind of colors. So more to come. Stay tuned! 

How was your wednesday? Mine was of-course ....busy. But more free time is on the roll. I decided to work a lil bit less. My workweek is 36 hours right now (in four day's) and with Puck and all other things I like, there is not enough time to do what I really like.  Starting a lil web store and being creative! 

  

This card I made for a colleage at work. Found this paper in a magazine and all that colorful butterflies fits perfectly with the blue. 

 

P.s. at the end of January we finally planned the photo-shoot gift with our family. Have tons of ideas so let you know what theme and style we choose. 

 

 
 

 

Pompons

Morning everybody (for the ones who are a wake in Holland) 

Feeling a lil bit tired after a bad night (again). Everything feels like waiting right now, for the big baby moment. All things are done inn and around the house and Rik is working his last day before his holiday get started!!!! So right now still home alone and a lil bit depressed for again..... a day alone at home . 

But enough of complaining............ (waiting for the baby and nothing on my mind is good for the creative stuff)

I told you about the Pompons in my last post and want to show you how they look. Also my dog love them and wants to play with them, total mess, but so cute.

You see he is playing like a cat and I can clean up the mess (LOL)

Use one pompon for my baby hat, can't wait to see her wearing this.

And a few scrap cards that I made for the baby visitors to wright a message to our girl.

Be back soon, Mika

Work in progress

Just a quick one today!

Work in progress, catch up tomorrow!!

Have a geat day, X Mika

Let me introduce you to my friends

Is everybody having a good wednesday?

As promised yesterday. 

I wanna introduce you to my new fabric friends.

Are they cute?

Totally in love with these two.

I think Jack and Molly are getting a lot of friends. It is so much fun making these and I have a lot of ideas to give them both accessories as earphones and hair ribbons.

Tommorow I make up for a day of shopping with my mom. I just love to see what's in the stores for spring. It is alway's a inspiration to see all that fresh new colours and new items.

Stay tuned, X Mika
