Livingroom Update

I'm still working on making my livingroom
extra extra pretty :). This is what happened
last week:


I sewed curtains for this chest. It was so dull
before and filled with mess, which is now invisible ;)!
Funny detail; I bought this chest from an elderly
couple for only 20 bucks {15 euro}! A couple more
curtains and then it will be finished.


I painted this little house cabinet lilac and filled
it up with vintage wallpaper and cute figurines.


I sewed another pillowcover :)! The one with the matryoshka dolls.
I have four more to go, two little ones for in the livingroom
and two little ones for in the bedroom.

That about sums it up :)!

Ada's 'mum' Lady Croissant, asked me to do a

I would really love it if you go read it ;)!

Scrap Saturday

I was treated to lots of yummy kits and didn't scrap
in a while, so I made a new page and I think it's my
best one yet :)!


With kits from:
- The fabulous Minitoko
- The sweet Ittybittybirdy
- The lovely Kitschy Digitals

And a little giveaway tip:
Deer Little Fawn is having a really awesome giveaway!
Check it out right here :)!

And look at this fun tablecloth skirt tutorial by wipster!

Tablecloth

Just a quicky post to show a little tablecloth
or actually more a table runner I made yesterday.
I wanted something cute for the little kitchen
table and since our kitchen has a bit of a
Dutch vibe, this is how it turned out :).

Meet Greta



Hello, I'm Greta.
I'm a shy little doll, who would love to go globetrotting but is still a little scared to... I have a halfsister named Ada, but she doesn't know I exist yet. Maybe one day, when I dare to get off my safe little nightstand where I live with my bunny friends, I'm going to see the world. Maybe one day...

Love,
Greta

Pillow Cover

Hello :)!

In an experimental mood, I made a pillow cover
out of pretty vintage fabrics :)!


I would really love to hear what you think about it :).
I feel like making more with tons of combinations!

Also;
Welcome to all new followers, you guys are the best!
My blog passed 200 so I'm probably going to surprise
you guys in a while with a giveaway, keep checking in ;).

I moved all blog buttons to a new section: Link Love.
If you would like to have your button there too,
just mail me a 160x60 button and I would love it
if you place one of mine in return on your blog/website.

Look at my sweet silly Frutsel cat!


I love her silliness :).

Turquoise and an Award

Hey girls!

I painted my wall!
It's something I've been wanting to do for ages
but never got around to actually do it.
So why now? Well...
It's quite exiting...
My house is going to be in a Dutch magazine :D!
Yippee!
In the 'YES' to be precise :).
Now I don't think I'm allowed to give you lots
of scoops, but a little impression of how the colour
turned out can't hurt right? And when the article is
published (which will take a while I think) I'm sure
I can post some pictures from it here for the foreign
readers ;). So, here goes... TURQUOISE!


Do you love it? I do :)!

And now, another award :)!
I love getting awards, it's always very flattering!
I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I accept awards
without following the additional rules because I have
trouble coming up with new interesting facts about
myself every time ;). Sorry!
But to keep up the balance, I'm going to do so right now!

Thank you Smotzy, for this lovely 'versatile blogger' award.


And ofcourse, the rules:

~ Thank the award giver
~ Tell 7 things about yourself
~ Pass it on! (max. 15)

Helping me with the '7 things' is my book Listography.
This is a book full of lists with facts about yourself,
a sort of journal!

1: I once had a little goat named 'Gijsje'.
He lived in our house like a dog and had a stable in our
basement.
2: When I was a little girl living in The Hague, I
had a best friend named 'Roos'.
3: I have lived in at least 12 different houses!
{my parents moved a lot, especially my dad}
4: Being a little girl I was HOOKED to a series
of movies named Angelique and I was madly in love
with the male lead 'Geoffry'. Silly me ;).
5: I have once worked at the children's department
of 'Ikea', but due to an illness I was fired :( boohoo.
6: One of my biggest fears is not being able to have children.
7: I like to read while I'm on the toilet ;).

And the award goes to:
My dear friend Pâmela from Feito Com Amor!

for her amazing styling skills :)!

New hat :)!

A while ago,
over at Tizzalicious,
I saw this cute craftster
named 'Little Emma K'.

While visiting her shop I fell in
love with my new hat.
A cat hat.
A PINK cat hat :)!


So now I feel just like my kitties ;)!

The frame around the picture is from one
of Minitoko's new kits 'doodle doo', cute right?

By the way, check out this Ikea commercial
my boyfriend just send me! They actually let
a 100 cats run loose in a real Ikea!

Butterfly Garden


Last week, my friends and I went to
a special garden filled with tropical butterflies.
It was SO pretty!


If you dipped your hands in sugar water or fruit,
they sat on your hand for quite some time, dipping
their little tongue on your fingers.
Truly Magical!



I had so much fun taking pictures of these

beautiful creatures <3! One came to sit on my shoulder and some on the heads of my friends!



So many different colours and sizes!
Wait till you see this one:


Cute and fluffy!!!

Afterwards we went for a little drink and snack to
a cute little place where they had all sorts of old
flowery china and de-li-cious foooood!


It was just the perfect day!

New webshop design

Hi Folks!

My new dutch webshop design is online :)!
I finally purchased the commercial license
on some of Danielle's Kitschy Digitals kits and
used them for my webshop.



I'm really happy with how it turned out :D!
There are no products on it yet, I haven't succeeded
making pretty pictures because of the none showing
sun for the past couple of days :(. But today it's
shining, so who knows, I'm working on it!

Also, back are my 'vintage goodies'. In the past I
removed them from my webshop because I thought they
didn't match my handmade products well, but I missed
them so much and I always have so much fun finding
pretty things that I decided to give it another go ;)!
Teehee! I'm so exited!

Love,

Nikki
