<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A pipe cleaner is a type of brush originally intended for removing moisture and residue from smoking pipes.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"> </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But what if you don't smoke a pipe?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But do have a lot of pipe cleaners?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Crafters have the perfect solution:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">By twisting and shaping these chenille stems it's possible to make the most wonderful things giving the pipe cleaner a total new function! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Browsing the internet I came across the most beautiful creations ever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I decided to have a go at it and after trying, plying and molding the first doggies came to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are a few of the creations I made. No doubt more will follow. It's so much fun!</span><br />

Wow, I've been neglecting my blogging for way to long! It's not that I've been gone, I've been busy. I know...it's not much of an excuse but it's the truth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Etsy shop took much of my time and to be honest I absolutely LOVE it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love searching for new ideas...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love experimenting with new skills...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being secretly proud of my creations...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the positive feedback I'm getting....</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...as you can see life is great for me, I'm into a spring mood. Happy and cheery!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Been making loads of flowers and plants, ofcourse in miniature size. Funny how once you get started you can't seem to stop making them. To bad they don't have scent, it would bring spring right to my worktop.</div>

Are you getting ready for the festive season? It's such a wonderful time of the year, I'm a total nut when it gets closer to December. I love everything, I start decorating my house waaaay to soon, I already have my eye on a dorky Christmas sweater I want to knit, I'm already looking for recipes and I even secretly slip a cd with Christmas songs in the player and sing along when nobody's at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And guess what I almost forgot? The International Christmas Swap!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Caterina is hosting it once again this year and I'm so glad I could join just in time. Don't by shy and join the fun. </div>

I definitively have something wrong with my sense of time. It's kinda...ehm...mixed up. I make spring decoration items in the fall and now I'm already busy with Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm back to shabby chic again which means bows, whites, pinks, blues, flowers and lace are scattered all over my worktop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little sneak peek of what I'm making...a pink forest!</div>

In between making miniatures to stock up my Etsy shop I found some time to do something with the bit and pieces of felt I had laying around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep...sometimes I have so much energy I just can't stop myself. You propably know the feeling: I find myself working on a miniature and I lose all track of time, I look up and get a shock when I notice how late it is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I was trying out making miniatures with felt and I was playing around with patterns and ideas. Real late (or real early this morning) little Peter Rabbit appeared from my hands. It's funny how I really don't know what something will become when I start crafing. I do have a vague idea but never know what the result will be.</div>

The seasons are changing and I can feel the autumn in the air. On a cold and rainy day I was browsing on the internet when my eye caught some adorable felt kits which I just couldn't resist. They are very 'springy' and sooooo shabby chic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as the kits arrived I started working on them and since they came with all the materials included, an easy to do pattern and clear explanation I was finished in no time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today the weather cleared up so I rushed into the garden to take some pictures.</div>

Yikes...I woke up this morning in a pretty good mood. After a wonderful cup of coffee I decided to work on some outstanding orders and on some ideas I have for Christmas miniatures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whistling a happy tune I walked to my workplace and couldn't believe my eyes! I found my tiny workspace in total chaos; paint bottles everywhere, unfinished miniatures on the floor, ribbons hanging from my chair... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Words can hardly describe what I found.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you notice the needlefelted doggy in my previous post? Well...as soon as I published that message someone got in touch with me to tell me that doggy looked a lot like her real life pet dog. She was wondering if I would sell it to her and even sent me a picture of her dog to show the resemblance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was rather pleased she wanted the dog because she's someone who supported me from the start, giving me compliments about my work and really making my day with her kind words, bringing a smile to my face. Without knowing she kept me motivated so I actually have a lot to thank her for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ofcourse I didn't need to think for long and decided to give the doggy to her. But, seeing the picture of her pet I wanted to try and make another one for her, one that resembled her real life dog even more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is going to be surprise since the person in question went on holiday and won't be back for another week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I found myself in the sunshine, in my garden, poking wool until this little creature appeared. Tomorrow I'm going to sent it on its way. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything was perfect on vacation...beautiful weather, amazing scenery, great nature, wonderful food and wine... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After only one day of leasuring around to rest after the long drive in the car, it was time to go sightseeing and fully play the role as tourist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our holiday home we found a bunch of leaflets with things you could do and see in the area so we daily we picked one out randomly and were on our way. Every day was a surprise where we would end up and it was quite adventurous. We visited a waterfall, hiked a trail through the mountains, visited a local brewery (I really don't like beer at all), attended a local party the firebrigade organized, followed a trail barefoot through the woods (so much fun!), ate a few times at the pub where all the locals went to dinner, saw great craftmanship like someone blowing glass and cutting wood...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was funny how holiday activity brings so much rest and peace. I felt totally distressed and full of energy the whole two weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the evenings we enjoyed the view onto the moutains and see the sun go down. No television, hardly any phonecalls (except to check if everything and everybody was doing well back home), no work, no stress...it was PERFECT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ofcourse I couldn't help myself from making some miniatures, I brought along my needle felting stuff and having all the time in the world I was able to make a few little animals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

One day I made a mouse and was so echanted by it I sort of couldn't stop making those until I had a whole family. I gave a few away and it's a funny thought: we're back at home but some of the mice stayed behind. I hope they have the same great time we had!</div>

A new year, new ideas, new inspiration and new listings! This weekend I'll be listing loads of new miniatures in my webshop ( <a href="http://www.anothercosyshop.nl/" target="_blank">http://www.anothercosyshop.nl</a> ) and here's a picture to give you an impression.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'll let you in on a little secret...I'm trying to get a shop started on Etsy! Yes..a new shop! I'm so excited about it. I'll keep you posted on my progress on that. Does anyone have an idea for a 'grand opening'?</div>

It's Noah's ark and it has about a hunderd tiny animals on it, grouped in pairs...there are elephants, horses, birds, camels, lions, apes, cows, to many to mention.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And thank you Caterina, for organizing the international swap again, it is so much fun realizing that all over the world people with a common interest are making gifts for one another, putting time and effort in it just to bring a smile on the face of the recieving person they don't even know. Isn't that the ultimate Christmas spirit?

Nope, not another tutorial today...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After decorating the house for Christmas, doing the tutorials I promised and sending off my Christmas swap for Rosa (which she recieved and already opened...you naughty girl!!) I decided to spend some more time at needle felting. It's my latest addiction, I absolutely love doing it. It's calming and so much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meet the three latest cats I made...</div>

They will be listed soon in my webshop but first I want to finish some of the miniatures that are still on my to-do-list. Why oh why does time fly so fast when you're having fun?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the second tutorial I made for the calender I told you about yesterday. It's a deerhead made out of cardboard to hang on the wall, it might look difficult but I assure you it's do-able so why don't you give it a try? I made the deerhead in different styles: a classic brown version, the white one you see above and a shabby chic pink one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the deerhead and you'll see the instructions and templates needed to make your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
How is everyone? I just love this season, it's cold outside and it gets dark so soon ... we even had snow! I'm switching to a snuggly state of mind here. Yesterday we trimmed the Christmas tree and today we'll put up the sparkling lights outside. I even replace me hot coffee for hot chocolate and light up the fireplace as soon as daylight vanishes. I found the box with Christmas cd-s in the attic and I'm singing christmas songs all day...jingle bells, jingle bells and all I want for Christmas is you..uuu..uuuuh...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides that I've been busy with some promises I made. The swap I made for the International Christmas swap that Caterina organized is finished and on its way to Spain. And I've been busy with making a few tutorials for an adventcalender. The calender is published on a forum for miniaturist I'm member of. I decided to post my tutorials here after they have been 'revealed' on the forum. This way you can also try them out.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one is a wreath made out of ribbon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now for the tricky part...I made this tutorial in pdf and have absolutely no clue how to post that on a blog. So, here it goes! If you click on the picture with the door you should be able to see it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sorry I made you all wait so long, it was a busy day and we only got to the draw of the give away late in the evening, which also explains the dark photograps and the sleepy appearance of our son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our youngest son had lots of fun folding all pieces of paper with the names and putting them in a basket. He took ages to pull out one of the papers and was able to give a last tired smile for the picture. Then he was off to bed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's going to be a busy day..I mean week...nope...a busy month :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a little under the weather the last couple of weeks, it started with a cold which unfortunately developped to a huge lanryngitis and bronchitis. But, after the doc told me to take some rest and handed me this familysize package of antibiotics, I decided to be a good girl and listen. I feel lots better now although I'm not out of the woods yet. I still need to take it easy but me and taking it slow just don't match.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First thing's first so let me tell you what I've decided to do the coming days/weeks/month. First of all I'm participating in the International Christmas Swap. Caterina organizes this swap every year and it's loads of fun. If you participate you are linked to someone and you exchange some Christmas miniature gifts. This swap is worldwide and it's a lot of fun being hooked up with someone from far far away. I'm a little late telling you so if you want to join, please hurry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've secretly been doing some mini's. As I've already posted I've been to the dollhouse miniatures show in Apeldoorn and I was lucky to meet some of the BIG names in miniature land. I've shaken hands with <a href="http://www.janeharrop.co.uk/">Jane Harrop</a> , <a href="http://www.stewartdollhousecreations.com/">Ruth Stewart</a> and <a href="http://www.true2scale.blogspot.com/">Carol Kubrican</a><span id="goog_147868807"></span> !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did some Dutch translations for the beautiful kits Carol sells and in return she showered me with gifts. I haven't been able to do all the kits she gave me (she gave me so much!!) but here are the ones finished so far.</div>

I can't wait to finish the kits, they are really stunning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What else is on my to-do-list? Let's see... I still need to photograph the miniatures I made for the webshop and update the site (yep..those cats are for sale).There are still a lot of miniatures that aren't finished yet and are patiently waiting for my attention. I have to finish two workshops I promised for an advent calendar the dollhouse forum, of which I'm member, is organizing. Ohw...and there is the usual rush of life (groceries, laundry, cleaning), how could I forget?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And yes...no worries...I will take the rest the doctor prescribed...somewhere in between!</div>

The last few days were wonderful! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had time to do some miniatures AND I went to the Dollhouse&Miniatures fair at Apeldoorn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought some supplies I badly needed to finish some of my miniatures and I was surprised by some beautiful gifts. As soon as I've finished on the presents I recieved I'll take some pictures to show you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime here's a peek at some of the cats I needle felted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also worked on some dogs and I promise to keep you updated on those too.</div>

It's really difficult to get a good picture of those munchkins. Maybe because of their tiny size or bad lighting...or maybe just because I'm not a good photographer (huge grin). </div>

Here is a close-up. All cats are multicolored and have bows, tiny beady eyes and whiskers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of them say meooow to you and wish you a perfect day...</div>
