Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and whole festive season!   I always have trouble getting into the festive mood in New Zealand, all this barbecuing is just not really “Christmas” to me, but baking cookies in the heat is also not quite helping....

Crafty: Clutch purse

Over the festive season I had some extra time, so I spent some of it on crafty things! I had some awesome fabric I bought a while ago and haven’t done anything with. On the internets I had seen this instructable by Flamingo Toes and thought it would make the...

Happy Halloweeeeeen!

For me Halloween is not so much about all the dressing up and partying (although I did that this year, I was “Buffy” – no I won’t show a photo, but yes, people did recognize me, yay! ) but more about all the fun crafty stuff you can do! This...

Animation time!

Ahhh animation… my favourite past time on a sunday and my favourite elective class in Uni. I even took a paper in Animation and Graphic Novel theory and analysis! (It was awesome btw. Lots of thought goes into high end animation and comics, I can tell you.) So I...

One of my relatives runs a dress up shop in Germany, called “The frog king” (“Kostuemverleih Froschkoenig”) and is setting up a new website, so she asked me to make her some fun and cute frog king illustrations:   When the site is ready I...

You can do it – revamping a classic

Me and my sister like to make birthday presents together, it makes for smarter ideas (2 brains are better than one 🙂 ) and less work for each of us. So my dad’s birthday rolled around and we always have trouble finding something for him as he is one of those...

Holidays!

I am on holiday at home at the moment! After a lot of work setting up my scarf label Daughters of Neverland I have taken some time off to go and visit family and friends back home and to enjoy a bit more summer 🙂 I had an amazing time so far, not only catching up with...

Launch of Daughters of Neverland

Maybe it is known to some that I have been working on a secret passion for over a year now in relative secret, I guess I have been moonlighting to myself! 🙂 Now I have finally launched Daughters of Neverland – my very own scarf label. It is an exciting time and...
