I’ve got my pantyhoses all cut up and ready on my couch. Did you know that you’ll pbb be able to get a ja/nee or nee/nee sticker in the big public libraries in Amsterdam? When you stick it on your mailbox, you won’t receive junk mail that doesn’t have your address on it.

Thanks Pia, and I have to say I’m slightly jealous of all your skills and how you seem to fit 28 hours in a day (jealous – not envious, as I wish you all the fun and skills in the world!)

Love, Machteld

Tilda B. Hervé (what a super cool name) – yes exactly, i know what you mean, I fell the same way. So I would like to cast my eye to find super chic DIY for 2009, and super easy. I’m glad you are into it, I will begin the category next year then!

Clare – I love those birds! glad to hear you love them too, and that each one has its own personality.

shannon – have fun!

kosenrufu mama – you’re welcome!

nadia – me too

artshades – your birds are super cute. Yes, I love that idea of the out-grown dress swatches to be made into a little bird each year!

Sofia – yes i can imagine you have loads of notebooks packed with cool DIY ideas – maybe we should get our heads together and make a book of our own!

Ida – the colours are so vibrant aren’t they, perfect for these grey days.

trupeach – perhaps there is a crafty lass in you indeed! I am hoping to inspire those less likely to make things, to make things, so I’m glad this first post has inspired you!
