Dutch Swappers Advent Kalender

Vanaf nu zal ik hier in het nederlands schrijven, misschien dat ik dan mijn leven beter voor wat betreft de frequentie van mijn blogberichten.
Ik ben op het moment druk met het maken van nieuwe dingetjes voor mijn webwinkel, ik heb leren haken en ik ben bezig met wat swaps voor Swap-bot. Over swap-bot gesproken; op het Dutch Swappers Forum via Swap-bot word een online advent kalender georganiseerd: De leukste adventkalender van het jaar, gemaakt door de Dutch Swappers, een zeer actieve en creatieve nederlandstalige groep van swappers op Swap-bot.

Laat je door ons inspireren, iedere dag wordt er rond het middaguur een nieuw vakje gevuld met een creatieve tutorial, een give-away, een free printable en nog meer spannends.

Excited!

I have done it! I signed up to have a market stall at the " Die zijn leuk" market ( those are cute market) on november 6 on the vismarkt in Groningen. I am sewing and crafting like a madwoman, and i hope to sell some of what i made. I also made a new webshop, on the first one i made i could only add 50 articles and the url was quite difficult. This one is easier and much nicer. Here are some pictures of what i made for the shop:

Been busy

Since i got my new lockmachine i have been busy sewing, lots of dresses and skirts, and i have made a new webshop where i have just added these, aren't they tooo cute???

All Mine...

I got this new lockmachine last week, i have wanted one for some time now, but wasn't sure what it did in addition to my sewing machine. Then my cousin came to visit us and she had made an adorable little vest for Noor, on her lockmachine. I decided i needed one also and my parents where so kind to give me some money for my birthday ( in october, lol) so the choice was made: TADAAAAAH!!!!

And again....

I have been neglecting the blog....Things have been pretty hectic here the last few weeks but everything is fine now. Noor is doing really great and growing so fast!

As promised a few pics.

After finding our way a little with the new baby in our life i have been doing a little sewing again, and buying some fabric, here is what i did today and a pic of my new fabric haul!

It's a Girl!!!!!

Yup...our little girl was born Tuesday april 5th after a crazy week in the hospital. We went for an ultrasound on March 31 to see if she was laying ok for a normal delivery..My bloodpressure was checked and again it was much to high..., They send me to the hospital and they told me i had Help syndrom and had to stay in the hospital for observation untill my 37th week before they would do something...A few days later they offered me an entry in a study programm where i had a chance to have the baby before the 37th week, but it was a 50/50 chance i could get in. They did a draw and Yay!!! I could start monday and on tuesday morning i was ready to deliver!!! Everything went very well and our daughter Noor Sophie was born at 3.48 am...2635 grams..49cm tall...I got home on thursday and Noor is still in the hospital, but she is doing soooo good, she will be home soon too!!! Pics tomorrow!!!

As promised

I promised a while back that i would show pics of the apron i sent for the CP Valentines Apron Swap. When i wanted to upload the pics, i accidently stuffed the usb-cable in the wrong port and my new laptop broke down, so it had to be repaired. When i got the laptop back i was hesitant to upload pics again..but i was brave and did so tonight..Unfortunately the pic of the apron i sewed for my partner wasn't on my computer anymore, and she hasn't received it yet..(Keke if you are reading this, i will replace it if you still havent gotten it in another week or so) But i do have pics of the wonderfull apron my partner send me for this swap.

I have also been making some sweats for our boy from old sweaters from me, i just followed the tutorial on http://www.dana-made-it.com/, very easy and fun to do!

And i have started on a few quilts; one for our boy, one for the new baby, one for my mom, and one for me...all from 5 inch squares...i need lots and lots of them, so in order to get those i have been doing a few fun scrap/square swaps!

Nothing to show yet..but now that the picture uploading went well i will soon...
