Hi, My name is Anneke and I'm living in the south of the Netherlands. I'm currently 26 years old. I like to be creative and spend my time crafting. I love to work with felt, fabrics,ribbons, papers, paint and all sorts of stuff and material lying around the house. My other hobby's are reading books ( I LOVE books), listening to all sorts of music, write at my blog, photography,thrifting, visiting museums, theaters and concerts. I love spending time outdours, enjoying nature. But I also like to curl up on the couch watching a good movie, crochet or with a magazine and a cup of thee.

All sorts of music. from Bleus to Easy Listening, to Soul, to Rock, to Pop, to Classic, to Reggea, to ...... almost about everything ;) And music is extra special when it is played Live. Oh, and i really love old records instead of c.d.'s ; they make music sound even more beautifull than it already is :)

My all time favorite is Paulo Coelho. It might sound silly but I often use his books as a guideline. Beside's that i just LOVE to read....I can't even start with a list of my favorite writers because it would be to long :)

As I said before. I love crafting. Using all kinds off material. I'm just a beginner in 'the crafting world', so I'm still learning. I really enjoy working with felt and linnen. I like the combination of those two. My sewing skills are still a little bit limited, but I'm getting there, taking it step by step I'm learning how to crochet and knit, but i'm not sure if I'm ever gonna be an expert in that ;) And I really like to work with paper. Making cards and envelopes. I use a lot of ribbons and buttons to 'spice things up' In the future I hope to learn more about the things I mentioned above. But I also would love to learn how to make my own paper, how to make screenprintings and to learn more about bookbinding..... So I'm curious about a lott of stuff and want to do it ALL!! :)

Oke, this might sound like a crazy subject. But I've got a lot of allergies, so it might come in handy to know.... I'm allergic to; - gluten - milk (but i may have soya) - caffeine (so herbaltea i can have, yay!) ;) - menthol - anathol (it's a sweetener that's used in a lot of stuff. to make berrieflavour for example) - anise And the other allergies are not relevant i guess
