Pure heaven for any crafter!  Or any want to be crafter! Here are a few pictures my sister took when we were in Sofia - see and read more about our trip here.  She took these while I was trying to pick some ribbons and buttons without buying the whole shop as it wouldn’t have fit into my bag   What a variety, What choice.  There were actually ribbons and boxes of buttons from the floor to the ceiling! It was actually rather overwhelming.  On top of that the shop assistant didn’t ... Read Full Story

Being in Germany I often forget about Canadian holidays and celebrations. But I just had a talk with my mom who reminded me that today is the 1st of July and therefore Canada Day. So happy Canada Day to everyone who are still living there and to all of us living abroad! Read Full Story

Sorry for the lack of posts and pictures of new creations recently!   I’m still excited about the silk-screen printing but I still have not heard back from the girl who is supposed to expose my images on my screens.  To be honest I’ve not finished any bags recently because I want to print on them.  I do have a small mountain that are started and waiting for prints, many others that have all the bits but aren’t started and yet many more that still need matching linings or zip...

I’ve just noticed that the summer is finally here!  I know that it sounds weird but the weather has been pretty ordinary recently; raining far too often, being generally cloudy and very, very windy.  But last night I went out on a girl’s night out and we could actually stay outside and enjoy our wine without a jacket on until the terrace closed. Today I went to handover my images to the women who will expose them onto my silk-screens. (I’m still unsure on the proper terminol... Read Full Story

Wow, what a weekend! On Friday late afternoon I went to set up my little stand at the Hof Party.  Then on Saturday I was at Stilblüten#8 all day.  It actually went really smoothly with the taxi in the morning and setting up. When that finished at 20:00, I went to the Hof Party to see what the atmosphere was like there and repack everything. I got home at 23.00 or so, which is very reasonable.  But there was a big street festival here too.  It was so loud, it felt like the crowd was actually i... Read Full Story

Today we have some pictures from an art student in Mexico!  It is so cool to be receiving all these pictures and to find out that women all over the world are participating. And that we all carry way too much stuff around with us. Contents as written by Alex from Mexico, she sounds like a very funky girl to me: My Zara bag its just amazing, because its like a magical bag: everything can be inside! The size its just perfect, and its sooo old. Very resistant. *My Che Guevara notebook. *Keith ... Read Full Story

Cool, someone sent us pictures of their bag and content. Morven is a British student living here in Frankfurt and even created her own bags.   Content; as written by Morven: -typically for a student are notebook and pencil case – my design -mint humbugs, taste yummy and make a nice breath, and a forgotten chewing gum, clinging to crumbs in my bag, gosh, I have to start cleaning out my bag more often -mobile phone bag (my creation) with mobile phone inside -a little purse (sewn by me) ...

Back in March when I did the poll and competition I had a few great comments about what people were carrying around in there own bag.  I though we should try it again.  Here’s a picture of my bag, obviously one of my own creations plus it’s content.   In my bag: purse/wallet super old mobile – but it still works so why change it?!? box of staples as an example to get new more post card of sofia with my sister’s flight details advertising card for some free ...

What a truly amazing weekend away with my sister!  What an amazing city as well, it wasn’t at all what I was expecting, but to be honest I didn’t know anything about the country. It was holiday, so we stopped for coffees often.  We also had some great meals accompanied by some great wines, we were also trying all sorts of weird looking or rather ‘new looking’ things from the markets. MMmmmmm! I love trying all sorts of new stuff.   The art is incredible, here are some ... Read Full Story
