<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday I got an e-mail from Sanne Staarink. I made a birth announcement card for her and her husband Maarten. She told me to watch the <a href="http://www.rtl.nl/xl/#/u/665689b0-dffb-3217-b14e-c8aa377c3b29" target="_blank">20/12/2012 episode</a> of RTL Boulevard (a national TV show), so I did. And oh my! Sanne is a tv host/news anchor at RTL and she - obviously - recently gave birth to a little girl, so of course they - at RTL Boulevard - told everyone this happy news. But they also showed the card I designed! How cool is that?! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I did not receive the card myself yet, I'm really excited to see the end result! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Thanks, Sanne and Maarten + welcome Rosephine! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday we celebrated an old Dutch holiday called Sinterklaas. I had a nice meal together with my family and we did a game where we could win gifts. I won E.T. (such a shame this movie wasn't in my collection yet) and As It Is In Heaven (great movie too!). We had fun! We also did some karaoke, sorry neighbors. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">These are some pictures of workshops I gave or organized recently. I really enjoyed being able to use such a large space during the workshops, but I need to say goodbye to it soon! I will miss it, but I can't wait to have a place of my own! And I guess the workshops will be more cosy and.. <i>gezellig</i> (there just isn't a right translation for this Dutch word; think of a warm, happy place, drinking tea with good friends, wearing cosy, fluffy slippers and eating a piece of carrot cake. Oh and there is a purring cat on your lap and a fire place. Now that feeling? Well, that's (extremely) <i>gezellig</i>.). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Last Sunday Marlous from <a href="http://www.planetfur.nl/">Planet Fur</a> (and the lovely <a href="http://www.ohmarie.nl/">OhMarie! magazine</a>) gave a workshop in my shop in making little felt deer heads. She did a great job; all of the participants went home with a cute handmade treasure to hang on their wall. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">How cute is the one above made by <a href="http://instagram.com/daphne1979">Daphne</a>? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Of course I made (vegan!) treats for everyone; a red velvet cake with 'butter' cream frosting and a carrot cake.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's been a bit - okay, more than a bit - quiet around here the last couple of months. A lot of things happened in that time. My family and I moved from a house in the middle of nowhere to a village in the middle of nowhere. Which is an improvement, right? Oh well, it's nice to escape the busy city life after work. :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And even more (way more) exciting; <a href="http://www.shopelleaime.blogspot.com/">Elle Aime</a> is also moving! I'm moving all of the handmade goodies, my craft materials, the collection of kitschy vintage tea cups and the workshops to a new place, woohoo! I can't wait to decorate the shop, plan the festive opening, come up with new workshops, shop for new products, make new products, paint the walls, move all of the furniture and my stash of buttons, beads, tape, stamps, books, twine .. okay, I have a LOT to do. Yes, it will be exhausting, stressful and maybe even a little sad to leave Garage C (the building where my shop is located right now), but I just know it's the right thing to do and a step in the good direction! My own shop. A big window with my logo on it. A place to give and organize even more workshops than I do now. Did I already say that there is going to be a big window with my logo on it?! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope you will all visit me in my new little (no, it will be bigger than the shop is right now, yay!) shop when it's finished! It will be located at Zwaanshals 271b in Rotterdam (which is really close to my shop right now). Of course I will keep you updated about the progress and the opening of the new Elle Aime. I understand if you don't really believe that, because I'm not the most frequent writer. ;)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Actually, it was <a href="http://www.ellenvesters.com/">Ellen Vesters</a> that made me want to write a new blogpost. She attended the workshop that Marlous from <a href="http://www.planetfur.nl/">Planet Fur</a> gave today in the shop and told me to start writing on my blog again. So, thank you, Ellen! Did I already say I think you're a great gal? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I could write a lot more right now - a miracle, I never know what to write! - I guess I have more to tell you than I thought. But I promise not to promise that I will write more. That never works out right. </span><br />

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!</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6q5wEZIcIu91VeVZqGD8BDPEW0i7f41SIOkvRpBHEr_IuDtXzO2vQvw4-paTLvxWuHIQvcOROKFvHuSHGUF1rLdga7uXJMANzvjZLI4XGGDpzqFxcv8OGtkd0ddsPZu0bKRbXHcvGW5k/s320/f6a54fe05d4311e19e4a12313813ffc0_7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711917066177624754" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQorNxUjeEh5gOap-NRb3wtnxHfk-mGzd-GONtxpMsYzLKDDS9O6an5q06lVQxGfFAkJeKC9V8-XwG0RTdqTa3ZZvQxphjWyiW0vjiOWs53y-XpFq8DVI5565tu4T9vlI9QDB9Ojc8JA/s320/d8ee4d485d4411e1b9f1123138140926_7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711917070773140754" /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00663079746390404777noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235605389588057918.post-80426502960685297082012-02-22T02:21:00.001-08:002012-02-22T02:21:37.966-08:00Wednesday - blog<a href="http://www.misakomimoko.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMqlz7s-7fFizoGnFrpyiLTNpb6moI2onr4qSZKLNEdbchGZ36mQWdSsnEE3Qouh5Z04EhF00SoxvdxSIYORwI_PhgjLjYG-ByWZrbqMYdZh4DFjo_osP3RZ5ojI-VoQdC77BsJXkmXfY/s320/teapotcozy2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711606121803922514" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />And it's Wednesday again!</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">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!).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><a href="http://www.misakomimoko.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkdcq0Redyb52HK7tOXh01iKqps3McoKoCzxsTTpN4IXmw_KpIu927hZ6c4XkUpPyLNVDdIEGBWNas_vUcc-Ta54HDtLaHN13siZqAGCH6dt29fpdfhVu0s4EDl8VtLmDHZ5v2B4MngN8/s320/IMG_3604_p.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711606102798021010" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></a><a href="http://www.misakomimoko.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXIfDnBSHYqhlCzMNL83vblRwuwaWw27saRv7UZVUPdaUOrAumjicksxZrl7jy-TinYnMabslQG9tlS_W37b0KxDg2vkT1LCAxKbopGoiGMuj4_L0P-__x7Ilugifk66rwD7ZWmiC805w/s320/embroidery_misakomimoko6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711606106559994722" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Eva from </span></span><a href="http://www.misakomimoko.etsy.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Misako Mimoko</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> is one of my favorite artists/designers/makers!

<br />Hello, you!<div>
<br /></div><div>Sorry I've been 'away' for so long.. Of course I've been on a holiday (or two). :) I hope you had a great one (or two?) yourself!</div><div>I've been busy with my newest collection of items and drawings lately. These will be for sale in my Etsy shop soon (which is now closed, I will do a 'grand opening' soon & it will be filled up with new items, like prints, cards, necklaces, brooches and more!). </div><div>

Normally I would go for more colors, but I made this drawing into a t-shirt design for <a href="http://www.alltropical.co.uk/live_html/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=741:rate-qthe-bear-and-the-beesq&catid=6:latest-designs-for-vote&Itemid=34">All Tropical</a>! If enough people vote, share & leave comments, this design will be printed on t-shirts! Yay! That would be great, right? So of course I'm going to ask you to <a href="http://www.alltropical.co.uk/live_html/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=741:rate-qthe-bear-and-the-beesq&catid=6:latest-designs-for-vote&Itemid=34">rate my design</a>. ;) Of course you don't have to if you don't like it, but if you do; thaaaaaank you! :D You're awesome, you know that?</div><div><br /></div><div>It's really easy, go here and <a href="http://www.alltropical.co.uk/live_html/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers&Itemid=2">join All Tropical</a>. It's easy and quick and you don't get annoying e-mails afterwards or something like that. :) Thanks for the effort!</div><div><br /></div><div>Besides opening up the shop and working on the online shop (coming soon!) and drawing and and .. I've also been busy organizing a <a href="http://shopelleaime.blogspot.com/2011/05/nieuwe-workshop.html">new workshop</a>! It's a workshop where you can make your own jewelry by combining new materials with vintage finds! I love flea markets and I've collected a lot of little toys, trinkets, goods, beads, buttons and more. Of course I can't use them all myself, so let's share. :) I really hope you can join me on June 19 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands to make some necklaces and bracelets! Or maybe a fun brooch!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://shopelleaime.blogspot.com/2011/05/nieuwe-workshop.html"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0CwSuFDhL8c2LaNkc8YjfVymbU0I6xZbTIhbrbMlrUqEd2T4nhGhNJK6l8zET5UEFEVB9U9dfQbOrGZjDd2BdGs7p75cBY_yOJ_cdzOrY8FUWhaU5xNNqIRWSFEQYRHLA47zGBz1Zw4/s400/materialenworkshop.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://shopelleaime.blogspot.com/2011/05/nieuwe-workshop.html">Go here</a> to read more about the upcoming workshop (in Dutch!) and see some pics of the materials and stuff.
