parels.......






Het duurde erg lang om deze tas te maken, maar ik denk dat het het waard was!

my new watch, made by me!

Look I've made a watch! The wristband of my watch broke, so I had to get another. However, recently I learned how to make lampwork beads, I attatched these to the leftovers of my watch. I am really pleased with the result. The pictures don't show the very bright colours enough I think, because in reality, it looks even better!

Málaga


My sister and I went to Málaga last week. In Málaga we stayed in a beautiful apartment near the beach, the city center was also close. We had a great weak, it was perfect that we were there because I had to send a package to someone in Spain, more about that will come in september. Málagaitself is a beautiful city with a lot of culture. We visited places like the Alcázaba, the picasso museum, the museum of modern art and the cathedral. Here are a few pictures:

We got popcorn instead of the "usual" bread before dinner, mmmm nice!


This is the cathedral, it's huge! I really recommend Málaga to everyone, especially if you like culture and art.

my new leather bag!

I just want to show you the pictures of this leather bag I made. It is the second time I worked with leather, and I was very anxious that my sewing machine wouldn't take it, but as long as I didn't use more than three layers, it was fine.



I always take too much stuff with me, almost too much to fit in my bag. The result of that is that my bags always break. This time I wanted to make a bag that was big and strong enough. For this bag I used a really dark shade of grey. The big rings for the handles are actually showercurtain rings. The long shoulder handle can be unattached and attached again.
