Update!

As you might have noticed, I've been away for a while. I had summer holiday and decided to take a break, I have just got back from Italy and have lots of pics to share! Also, blogging and managing my shop from the old laptop I used was horrible, it was terribly slow. But now I have a new laptop so it's time to get back on track!

I have some great ideas for my shop; I will be selling more (handmade) supplies such a polymer clay beads and origami embellishments which you can use for any craft or decorating project!

I will also have a special Halloween section in my shop, and after that a Christmas section.

So, keep an eye out for these new items.

Changes

I've changed the shipping costs in my shop:
The Netherlands - $1.50
Europe - $2.00
The Rest - $2.50
And every additional item(s) ships for free.

I have also changed all my prices so you may want to check that out!

It's still hot and we have had some thunderstorms, but at least the pets are enjoying the weather.

This is what they do all day. :)

Orange Craze

Well, it's not just sunny anymore, it's extremely hot outside [and inside]! So I haven't been up to much except trying to stay cool and do as less as is possible. That means I haven't been very crafty in the last weeks, my room is in the attic. I only stay there during the night when it is cool and at 9 am I move downstairs because the sun heats up my bedroom in no time. I did get to see the World Cup and my national team are in the finals!! So I'm very excited about tomorrow and have no doubt that the Netherlands will turn orange for the day. Just to get into the 'orange' mood I thought I'd show you some of my orange items that are for sale in my shop .

And if we win tomorrow I will do a feature of orange items from other Etsy shops!

Work in progress

It's been and still is a sunny week, finally it's starting to look like summer! But I've found the time to work and make some new items.

Lots of new Worldwide Cranes [including the USA and South Africa]

Polymer clay necklace

Origami Card

New Origami design: Oysters, to be made into earrings and necklaces.

Great news!

I made my examens a few weeks ago and I passed them! I'm so happy!
