Cadeautje

Feest bij VANMARIEKE, omdat we verhuisd zijn.... En bij feest hoort een cadeautje! Daarom krijg je tot eind november bij elke bestelling vanaf 15 euro een setje feestvlaggetjes van strijkvelours cadeau. Om je eigen feestelijke t-shirt mee te maken en trouwens ook erg leuk om te combineren met deze stof:

Nieuwe spullen

De laatste weken kwamen er veel nieuwe spullen binnen voor de shop, waaronder strijkvinyl in de matte variant, stofknoopjes in de allerkleinste maat (1,1 cm) en stoffen, heel veel stoffen!
Bij deze stof moest ik gelijk aan dit patroon denken, voor een kinderkookschort.
Ik maakte de schort al eerder voor mijn jongens en het leuke ervan is, dat de schort aan twee kanten te dragen is (dus je kunt er twee leuke stofjes voor gebruiken). Helemaal leuk als sintcadeau voor je keukenprins(es)!

Changes

It has been a long time since I posted a message here. Reason? Well, because VANMARIEKE moved! From the attic from our home to a "real" office, situated in the centre of my beautiful city 's-Hertogenbosch. Since a few weeks I am working in the former hospital, a monumental building with a lot of history, and I love it! Here is a picture of the outside of the building:
I will tell you more about it in the coming posts..... And..... Another change: I have been thinking about this quite a while and decided to stop writing in English and continue this blog in Dutch. Easier for me and hopefully it will help me to write a bit more.

100% heppie

100% heppie I certainly was with the brooch I ordered here. Lovely packed, it arrived in my mailbox last week.
The perfect addition to my new bag.
Sadly enough, I already lost it....... I think that I didn't attach it well enough to the bag. How stupid of me! (I'll probably order a new one, or one of the lovely necklaces, a bit more safe ;)).

Delivery Bike

I am so happy with my new bike. It has not only space for two kids on the backside, but it also has a big wooden crate on the frontside. And this is perfect to carry all the packages and envelopes in when going to the postoffice. To make the bike a bit more "VANMARIEKE", I made a little bunting from fabric scraps and attached this to the crate.

So Sweet

Of Helmi to send me these cute fabrics. She screenprinted the designs herself on vintage fabrics. And because the owl reminded her of my logo, she offered me to send me a piece (which became a few pieces). Now I only have to think of a nice way to use the fabrics, maybe on a bag or in an embroidery hoop as an artwork on the wall...... Thanks Helmi! A little present is (finally) on it's way to you too, hope you like it.
