About Me
DUE TO NEW CUSTOM CHARGES, PLEASE MARK YOUR SWAP AS A PRESENT
Hallo, My name is Neeltje. I am an Arts&Crafts teacher. I love to make textile art. My biggest pleasure is to create things and spreading them around the world. Love to get inspired by other creative people.
Favorite Crafts
As an Arts&Crafts teacher I like all kinds of Crafts. My favourite however is making textile art on my sewingmachine. I sort of developed my own style and it has no name. Some people refer to it as crazy quilting and it has some resemblance with that. However, for quilting I don't have enough patience. I just like to put colorful fabric to a background and let it happen.
So, I like to sew, knit, crochet, collage, origami, macramé and zentangle.
Favorite Colors
All the colors of the world are wonderful. I love them all. It's thrilling to go out into nature and discover the most excuisite combinations. If you look closely you can see so many wonderful things, even in a raindrop. I am a big admirer of design-seeds.com
Things I Love
Here are some things I love, amongst many other things, in no particular order. If I come up with something I'll add it to the list.
Colors
Handmade
Small birds
Lime; color, taste & smell
Dancing
Old maps
Wild Flowers
Driftwood
Sea Shells
Looking at the sky
Fiber Art Magazines
Bare trees
Watercolor drawings
Baking
Handmade paper
Patterned tissue paper
Die-cuts
Foreign texts, handwritten or printed
The smell of cinnamon
Song of a blackbird
Handmade Wooden Spoons
Colorful Band-Aid
Small tins with candy, herbs or spices
Fancy colored tie wraps & bread clips
(vintage) Botanical Drawings
Please Do Not
Please don't send fabric. My stash is so big, I could cover my whole country and still have scraps left. The only fabric I am looking for right now is cat fabric. Not the fabric your cat has been lying on, but fabric with cats on it. If you are looking for fabric, I am more than happy to send you some.
Favorite Books
There are many books I like. Historic novels, modern literature, thrillers. I enjoyed The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson but also Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Isabel Allende and Paul Theroux, and many many others.6-1-2017 Just read I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes, couldn't stop reading. In 2019 the book that moved me most was A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. 2020 so far: The eight life (for Brilka): Nino Haratischvili and, finally, Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada.
Favorite Music
My taste in music is very divers. It goes from Pop to Opera. Whenever I hear something interesting I try to find out more and put it on my favorites on Spotify. If my hart makes a little jump when I hear the song again, it stays on my list.
Is it Easter yet?

Hi Neeltje 😊 A big hearty THANK YOU for the RAK. You made my day! I enjoyed looking through the items you picked and can't wait to put them to good use 😍 Hugs from Malaysia 💕
Thank you for the wonderful RAK package! I feel very spoiled 😊🥰
Hi Neeltje! I just wanted to let you know that the Sharing RAK you sent to me has arrived and I absolutely love everything you chose to send - every piece is so pretty and I can't wait to start using them in my crafts 🌷 Thank you for being so generous! I also adore the way you decorated the envelope... So beautiful! As a thank you I wanted to decorate your profile a bit - here are some photos I thought you might enjoy based on your likes 🐦
Wishing you a beautiful day & happy swapping!
I forgot to answer your question - no, I've never boiled paper in tea or anything. I'd love to try it!
I've had a chance to go through your wonderful handmade envelope - my fave things are the coins and the cigar bands! Are the insects tattoos? How do I use them - put them in water and press against skin? I also love your paper cluster, and TY for the ATC sized items :)
The RAK (sharing) has arrived today - everything looks great and I'll go through it carefully tomorrow! Will comment again then :)
OMG Neeltje!!!! I loved the "Lovely" Sharing RAK that you sent me! You made my day!!! <3 When the postman arrived and handed me that beautiful, big and heavy envelope, my daughter said: "mom, let's open it now, I really want to see what's inside!". And we opened together, it was so good! All wonderful! The wooden letters that form my name, an endless delicacy! Thank you so much! Cris Menezes
