Craft It Forward 02.
It is time! ;)
Who wants to play Craft It Forward? Handmade gifts are the best and don't you just love to receive little packages with doilies, bows and masking tape on them? I do!
How do you participate?
It's simple! You just need to leave a comment on this blogpost and the first five who do that will receive one of the packages full of handmade stuff I put together! When you receive it, you need to blog about it (before the end of 2012) and give away five handmade things to five other people too! Yay for handmade! :D
The packages I put together contain different handmade stuff like cards, pins, stickers, a brooch, etc.!
* I waited way too long with posting this (stupid me!) and this project can only exist/go further when you really stick to the rules! So I'm going to ask you (although I haven't been the best example!) to only participate if you really have the time to blog, make and send. :) Thanks!
Wednesday - blog
And it's Wednesday again!
First I'm going to write about one of my favorite blogs and later on today I'm posting something about the Craft It Forward project (and then I'm giving away five handmade items!).
Eva from Misako Mimoko is one of my favorite artists/designers/makers! She makes and sells all kinds of things; from stuffed dolls to fake watches. I really would love to own one of her fun dolls someday! She has this amazing vintage-like style that I just adore.
Check out her blog for pictures of her handmade goods, her inspiration, the workshops she gives (oh, how I wish I could attend one of those!!) and more!

Craft It Forward 01.
Hello!
I'm that kind of person that wants to do a thousand things all in one free day and then eventually ends up staring at a television or computer screen. Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed by ideas, thoughts and plans, do you ever get that feeling?
Well, I planned to write this blog post for ages now and I just never did. *slaps herself in the face* But here it finally is!
I received this lovely deer head from Marlous (Planet Fur) a while back. She gave some of these away because of this fun project; Craft It Forward! The idea is that you make five things, give them away to five different people and then they should blog (!!!) about it and give five handmade items away too! Okay. So I failed at the blogging part. Of course I hope you won't. ;)
Marlous makes all kinds of cute stuff for your home (or wedding!) under the name of Planet Fur! She owns an Etsy shop where she sells her handmade products, you should definitely check it out! Besides making beautiful things, she also is the kindest person, has a gorgeous home (follow her blog to see lots of pictures!) and owns the cutest little cat; Molly!
This Sunday she will give a workshop in making felt deer heads (like the one she sent me) in my shop Elle Aime in Rotterdam! I can't wait!
Thanks, Marlous, for your lovely gift and for your patience! I'm so sorry I did not blog earlier about this fun project!!
Oh and I almost forgot! Of course I'm going to give away five handmade goods too! :) Tomorrow I will announce how you can participate and what I will send you if you do! Yay!

Friday - my week in Instagram
I received an envelope full of awesome goods from Sandra Juto. I'm going to send her one full of tea today! (We did a swap.) ;)
I received and sorted out lots of new materials for the workshop 'making jewelry' which we're going to give in my tiny shop Elle Aime this Sunday. I can't wait! There are still some spots left, so you can still sign up for this workshop!
I worked on my first paper doll. Tomorrow I will add it to my Etsy shop!
I made some needle felted tea pots, bears, baby seals and stuff like that together with my aunt, niece and my mom. If you want to learn how to needle felt yourself, you can attend our workshop in March!
I received this beautiful book full of paper dolls (by Emily Martin, or The Black Apple) from Philomeen!
I organized a workshop 'making stamps' in my shop Elle Aime for the fourth time; Tarah and Cris from Kitty Darkness Designs taught 15 participants how to make their own stamps! Fun!
I baked lots of cupcakes for the workshop 'making stamps' in my shop Elle Aime.

Thursday - stuff
On Thursdays I will share some of the lovely things I found on the wonderful World Wide Web. ;) Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed by al the pretty things that can be found on the Internet.
Philomeen gave me the sweetest gift last Sunday; 'The Black Apple's Paper Doll Primer' by Emily Martin! Thank you, Philomeen!!
Go to Emily's blog to print this free paper doll!

Wednesday - blog
Hello!
I've made the decision to blog more regularly many, many times. And once again; I'm going to try and blog more from now on. Is it really going to happen this time? Please kick me in the butt if I don't! ;)
Every wednesday I will be sharing some of my favorite blogs. This is the first one! Enjoy!
"A collection of artwork that inspires & depresses me. I know it's good when I'm left thinking DAMN I WISH I THOUGHT OF THAT."
Do you ever get that feeling?
"There is one moment, in the first few seconds, when you look at a piece of art and know that you love it. It’s the moment when, if you’re an artist yourself, you look at it and feel a rush of uplifting inspiration… and total soul-crushing jealousy all at the same time. It’s when you walk away thinking, “Damn, I wish I thought of that.” - The Jealous Curator
Do you recognize this? I do!
I love this blog. It's full of great art and design and I like scrolling and scrolling down all of these inspiring things (and yes, some will make you insanely jealous)! Be warned! ;)
