Sinterklaasstress

Van mijn Facebookpagina:

"Sinterklaasstress... Laat ik me dan toch gek maken...?

Onze aap heeft al zo absurd veel speelgoed, dat ie van gekkigheid soms niet weet waar ie mee moet spelen.
Maar door alle reclames en socialmedia voel ik me bijna onder druk gezet om de zak van die "ouwe gek" maar zo vol mogelijk te douwen, want zo'n grote jute zak met maar 2 of 3 (ècht leuke en redelijk duurzame) dingen kan toch niet?
De schoencadeau's worden ook steeds belachelijker.... Wat is er gebeurd met alleen een zakje chocolade muntjes of een hand pepernoten? Hoezo is een lego-set van €12,99 ineens een schoencadeauTJE...?

Vanochtend besloot ik me niet gek te laten maken, "Wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote..." Ja, precies, dat dus...
En dus komen er in onze zak een paar "kleine" cadeautjes, iets (zelfgemaakt) bruikbaars en misschien nog een chocoladeletter en worden schoenen hier gevuld met "slechts" een zakje chocomuntjes..."

Switching to Dutch...

Looooooong time no blogging.... Sorry...

Also, I'm switching to Dutch, maybe it'll make me a bit more motivated to blog more...

Bracelets

A month ago I went to Lowlands with my brother and two friends.

(more on that later!)

Lowlands had an Etsy-plaza with lots of cute stuff.

My female friend saw some really cool bracelets she looked in to buying.

I talked her out of it, because I knew how to make them.

Back home I got my supplies and made a couple.

I'm thinking of starting an Etsy-shop of my own, but I'm also looking into other ways to sell my crafty stuff...

For now: If you want one (or more) of these bracelets, contact me.

They're €2,50 a piece and you get a €0,50 a piece discount if you buy 3. 

Each one is unique, because of the button. You can pick which beads you'd like and the string-color.

Not limited to the three color's seen in the first picture, I have a HUGE stash of sting in LOADS of colors.

just let me know what you'd like..!

Love, Caroline

LO Chase your wildest Dreams

Another lay-out with a picture from our vacation on Texel.
I created the arrow stamps from two small erasers.
The washi-tape is from Hema.

I have another LO ready, I just need to take pictures.

Love Caroline

Houtspel

Houtspel turns two this month...!

Houtspel is a Dutch webshop which sells all kinds of amazing wooden toys.
I love this webshop... So many drool-worthy toys!
(And they have a cool blog too...)

Remember Joshua's birtdaygifts: the Rainbow and Farmanimals?

Guess where I bought them... Yup, Houtspel.nl...

Love, Caroline

More hats...

I'm trying to blog everything I've created but neglected to post.
Today two hats...

A puppydog hat for a friend's son. Joshua is modeling it...

And a Minionhat for my crazy "little" brother. He actually wears this to work, he does electrics on new builds, which is really chilly during winter...

Love, Caroline

Time Flies

I can't believe Joshua turns 2 by the end of the month...

I had planned to do a Sesamestreet themed party this time, but for the very complicated cake I wanted to make, I needed help and help wasn't available the weekend we're celebrating Joshua's birthday.
I also want to do an extravagant party for this theme, but Joshua doesn't seem to be really into Sesamestreet at the moment...

What he's really into are these little guys:

Who doesn't love them...

He especially loves this youtube video:

So I'm planning... Check my Minion-board on Pinterest!

Love, Caroline
