Art journaling in a stressful world. Tune in yourself, tune out the world. It sounds lovely, doesn’t it? But I can’t always do it. I recommend it to anyone who can do it, but it’s not always easy. It’s hard sometimes to do any kind of art. The world gets in the way, or your […]
Journal Cover Patchwork | Collage Process video
Yes, I will write a little blurb about my day in my new 5 Year Journal this year, but also, when I need to write/work things out, I will always journal in my diary. Like I’ve always done and always will. Currently I’m working in a Moleskine Plain Notebook, a favorite brand with cream colored […]

Quilted Christmas Table Runner
It’s time for some quilty pleasure, sewing for myself.

Encyclopedia of Inspiration
Encyclopedia of Inspiration is a series of books by Janine Vangool, who is also the creator of the, among artists and crafters much beloved, magazine Uppercase. I wish I could’ve afforded to be a subscriber of that magazine from the beginning, since all I’ve ever seen of it online tells me it would be a […]

Thoughts on Social Media from a bloggers perspective or simply put: My personal social media rant of the year. As a blogger I use social media not as a way of knowing what my friends and family are doing every minute of the day, but as a way to share my own content, inspire others […]
The mess on my desk
What’s on my desk is the crafter’s version of YouTube’s “what’s in my bag” I guess. And all I can say is: my desk is always messy, except maybe when I’m on vacation which hasn’t happened this year of course. But for the curious, who wants to know… here’s a photo of the state of […]
