Carpinteros, 2013

These birds have flown...

These birds decided to migrate to a warmer place and are now on their way to Spain. They have found a new friend: Vanessa. Congratulations Vanessa, they are yours! I hope they will make you good company, together with Emese's bird.
I'd like to thank as well all the participants for your lovely comments. Thank you!

Dasjes Tief - toddler bags

There is something I'd like to share with you. This is what I make besides the paintings, when I feel like stitching. If you want to read the full story about these bags, you can do it here

Something I don't mention on my Dasjes Tief page is that I made the first bag (for my son) with two old trousers: his dad's and mine :-)

Green and more green. Any similarity to my own life is merely coincidence :-) ...really...

Flyaway Giveaway!


Emese from Doodliesoftie and I have been secretly preparing a collaboration which's result we hope you like. It has been a great experience working with someone you met at a distance (we met through our blogs). I'm glad we met each other and also very happy with what she did. She really makes great stuff out of children's anyone's drawings. 
Moreover... we are giving it away through the beautiful blog of Kireei (Spain)
You are all welcome to participate. Just leave a comment on their post (you can do it in English too). It goes from now on up to February 11th. The winner will receive two sendings: one from Holland and one from Hungary.
Good luck!



Sunday

Hi there! 
This is a small update. Last weekend I went to the Christmas Market at the St John & St Philip’s Church in The Hague. It was an English market - with Santa and all - and vendors from different countries. Here is an impression. I promised a better picture and I’m afraid the picture isn’t a good one yet, but it is a liiittle little bit better… It is always such a nice experience to see that not only parents but children themselves (!) are very enthousiastic about my work, and I think this time the bags were favourite.
Probably I will stay away for a while again, for I will prepare me for the next market: the “Kerstmarkt” at the Grotemarkt here in The Hague, on December 19th. More information about it coming soon!!!

I'M MARKT

On October 21st I had the pleasure to participate of the first I'M MARKT. A design and arts market in The Hague, organized by ateliercomplex De Besturing at their own (beautiful!) location, as part of the I'm Binck festival program. Sorry about the picture, I totally forgot to make decent pictures so this is the only one I have. Next time I'll make better pictures. I promise! You can get an impression of the event here.
