A few weeks ago I customized this grey sweater. I got inspired by this DIY from HonestlyWTF (did I just swear for the first time on the blog? Uh - oh...)

However I did it a bit different. I just cut out felt heart patches and (hand)sewed them on.



A little extra love during the exams, perfect.

Last week I received a sweet letter from Marlou and she wrote it all in French, very brave :) I loved everything in there.


And I especially liked the envelope. She made it herself with some washi tape and a bag from her favorite biscuitier. How cute is that little blonde girl with the braids?!


Celestine sent me a belated birthday present - totally unexpected but oh so sweet! ❤ the owl fabric ❤


I sent her a little thank you card and included a heart bookmark and some pressed flowers. (yay for la vache qui rit!)




En dan nu.. even in het Nederlands! Ik ontdekte de laatste tijd dat brieven schrijven en ontvangen zo ontzettend fijn is, dat ik op zoek ben naar nog meer schrijfmaatjes (zij het éénmalig, zij het meermalig ;-) ). Voorlopig liefst alleen Vlamingen, maar misschien breid ik binnenkort wel uit. Heb je interesse? Stuur een mailtje naar bijgebrekaanbeter[at]hotmail.com.

To all students amongst us: break a leg!

Another month has gone by.. It seems like time passes more quickly every month! Am I the only one who feels that way?

I...

» was the photographer at a gymnastics show. Their theme was "Love is..." (you know, from the comic strip?) And they had these lovely heart balloons filled with helium.



» showed you my little stamp collection and also tried to teach you how to make your own stamp.

» had a lovely dinner with some friends. We pretended we were chinese.



» made a Facebook 'fan'page for the blog, find me here!

» breathed in some fresh sea air, together with the cutest and sweetest 12 to 14 year olds on the planet :)


» didn't sew that many.

» enjoyed the nice weather, sat by the river in good company.


» sent lots of snail mail (more to come in June!), and even did a little swap!

» arrived at a flea market with my sister, wandered around, didn't find anything we liked enough to take it home with us, except for these two cupcakes. They were yum!


» did a tutorial on how to make a paper snowflake.

» went to the party of the century (also known as the last one before the exams) and had loooots of fun!


And now... study mode: on.
