NEW LINE-NEW PLANS

Hey Guys,

I shud have posted this earlier, but i just now found the time to actually do it!

My SALE last week was quite a success, Thanks to my lovely customers and all the supportive people in my team and on my blog and twitter!

Thanks so much!

Now im going to stay in my sewing cave for the next 2 weeks

and my ass is gonna be on fire from all the sewing!

After that, so in like 2/3 weeks time, im gonna put out my new range.

I got some awesome vintage materials im very looking forward to using, im going do a little 'woodlands range' with, and i bought the CUTEST yellow heart fabric today, im going to make into jumpers and dresses. Also stay tuned for some metallic looking knits, im looking forward to them too.

Ok, girls(and boys), see u on twitter and on the blogs, so long for now!:)

LITTLE HELPERS

Today i want to introduce u to my little friends, my work colleagues, my companions.

First there is 'Sheep'. Sheep helps me by making my everyday meassuring tasks a pleasure, it is very hard working(but likes to take long leasure breaks) and very easy going. Its like 'Gadget Sheep', its right leg extending into a measurring tape, always has a cheery smile on its face too.

Then there is the iMice(speakers for my iBook), identical twins, my boyfriend bought them for me, they are right little entertainers, cud be singing away the whole day, if i wud let them.

I'd get a headache before they wud get a sore throat, thats for sure!!

Their favourite song is by Metallica. Why? No one knows.. Maybe coz they can feel really dark and mysterious while singing it. But really they just like THAT ONE song by them.

And thats their favourite band, it must be coz of their eyes, they have this slightly evil glint while singing these songs and when u stare at them for too long, u'll be hypnotized!

This is Brunhilde, my watch dog.

She takes good care of me since we met in the good old days in Berlin. I actually got her from a Free Shop. We were friends from the very first sight and since then she's been sitting on window sills and tables keeping watch for ghosts and crazy people.

At the moment she likes to sit guard on her watch tower made of stacked coasters.

The Free -Shop is NOT a charity shop, its a collective run by a bunch of funny people(theyre all commies) with a great concept. The rules are, u can bring stuff around which u dont need(useful stuff mind u, no rubbish) and leave it there and/or u can also pick things up u need or wud like to take. U dont pay money for them, u dont trade, there is a maximum of 3 items u can take and they got all sorts of stuff there, toys, kitchen stuff, clothes and shitloads of books.

Love the Free Shop, makes me all sentimental(i used to live above it).

Yep, thats where Brunhilde and I met and those are my friends and they and other people join me in my day, like every day!

Thanks for reading!:)

Who do u work with?

BLOODY INTERNET + FUNNY WOMEN

Ok, i have to say its all Amy's fault, she has to take the blame!

To show me one of the funniest female comedians i have seen in.., well im not even sure WHEN ive seen one the last time!

Unfortunately, she showed us(our team) that clip in the morning and there was no going back to my "normal" "routine" after that; i had to click thru more then half of that women's videos.

Now, i put some funny videos of guys on this blog before(people never really seem to like videos on blogs; i got no ideas why, coz i freakin love them), but there dont seem to be many funny women out there, especially not many i know off that actually take the piss out of stupid gender stereotypes, in a very clever and entertaining way.

If u know any PLEASE LET ME KNOW, i got very low expectations, just try.

Alrighty, have a nice evening and day everyone!:)

SALE!! SALE!! SALE!!

Hi guys,  got a SALE on this week in my shop!

Kirrily made me this awesome ad for craftcult, its nice huh? My first one!

Its a BUY 2 - GET 3 - SALE! (Buy 2 items, get a 3rd for free, of equal or lower value).

Basically how it works, u either wait for a revised invoice or make full payment and i will refund you the price of the cheapest item.

Sale ends Sunday the 14th of June.

Those dresses are some of my favourites. Im wearing my Toasty Dresses now EVERY Day, coz its so bloody cold here!:P

PILLOWS AND A KITCHEN MAKEOVER

The other day i decided to give our kitchen a makeover, before that, it had only a table 2 chairs and an armchair in it.

I decided to chuck the armchair out(local charity shop) and put the sofa in there.

Its much more cozier now, we dont have a living room, u see when u turn 3 of ur bedrooms into studios there isnt much space for one!

So now we can spend more time in the kitchen, one of us can cook while the other one sits on the computer or does sudoku(and its not me doing that).

The couch is quite small its a little 2-seater from ikea, nice tho.

Only problem is, the arm rests are made of wood, so fairly hard and uncomfortable.

Ive got LOADS of scraps left over from all my sewing ventures, its a shame throwing them away, but normally i cant use scraps of a certain size anymore(if i dont want to make my customers wear quilts), so i bagged them all up and chucked them into the storage room(i normally have them in bags too).

Now i finally decided to make something out of them. U see there were these 2 skirts i made and apparently they didnt want to be skirts and get send out into the big wide(sometimes scary world) they are quite homely and shy and like to stay comfy.

So when i made them into skirts i realized a bit too late that the fabric wasnt stretchy enough for the size i made them and i cudnt wear them AT ALL, so i thought i turn them into pillows, clever idea i thought, i'd stuff them with all these scraps i had left over. I knew it wud be a bit hard, but it wud do.

So now our new matching pillows live in our kitchen and keeping me company whilst typing stuff on my computer and protecting my bones getting hit by nasty wooden arm rests!

Great being resourceful and making things, isnt it?!:)

Have u turned something funny into something useful lately?

SALE SALE SALE(like soon)

Im gonna have a Big SALE in my Etsy shop for one week, starting Monday, next week!

I will stock it with some more new items until then, so theres gonna be a nice variety!

Here are some of my new styles, i wanted to list those pencil skirts for Aaaages.

Also started playing around with different sleeve shapes.

The Sale is gonna be a BUY 2 GET 3 SALE, so u can put urself some lovely outfits together!;)

Ah, yeah, im gonna list some pants soon too, stay tuned!

What u reckon about my new items?

COLLAGE NR.1

I wanted to show u what i used to do before i started sewing, which i just started like mid last year.

I used to do collages and drawings and photographs and i thought i show u some.

I did this HUGE collage we had hanging in our living room. But it fell off the wall a couple of times, coz no nails(bloody landlord).

Anyways, it stayed in our storage room for a while and i was playing around with it over the weekend..., some of the pictures i really like.., its more like a collection of strange and weird pictures then a "proper" collage. 

Its fun..  I used to collect all sorts of crazy picture, paper clippings, cud sit on the floor for hours cutting up magazines, like Vice magazine and those culture magazines(Vice Australia sucks tho, thats all i can say to that).

 These pics are just a selection of the pictures i like. 

Ok, have fun and thanks for looking!

the names i gave the pictures:

1.Forest

2.China Garden

3.Gruene Woche(Green Week)

4.France/Berlin

5.London Chinatown

6.Balloons
