iPad sleeve in magazine Buitenleven

Yesterday I received a copy of a magazine called Buitenleven ('Outside living' in Dutch), which is published by the Dutch organization ANWB. A couple of weeks ago, they asked me permission to publish a picture and description of one of my upcycled iPad sleeves in their Spring edition. Which I couldn't reject, of course.


I started reading the magazine, and I must say: I love it. I am not a hobby gardener, but this magazine is about 'green' lifestyle, sustainable food, cooking, gardening, nature and so forth. And it contains beautiful images of flowers, people, nature, animals, and food.


Many thanks to Buitenleven for their interest in my upcycled creations!

iPad sleeves for Christmas

Now that my (extra long) christmas holidays have started, I work on increasing my stock of  upcycled sleeves for iPad mini and iPad 2 and 3, which are, by the way, very nice gifts for Christmas. After each new sleeve that is finished, I am more satisfied with the result, and I love the colorful prints of the tetra packs!

In the meantime I write my holiday greeting cards for friends, family and neighbors. Let me take this occassion to wish you also very cheerful Christmas days, and a blessed new year!

ipad mini cover from upcycled tetra brik

I got some requests for iPad sleeves. So I started to design these as new items for my etsy shop. 

Currently I have sleeves for iPad mini, but I will soon create some for iPad as well. They have a zipper on the short side, and are lined with felt, to protect your precious little iPad. 

I hope you like them!

Trashilicious

Yesterday I came across a nice Belgian webshop, that I'd like to share with you: Trashilicious.
It is a webshop that sells bags, jewelry and home deco made of upcycled materials, coming from all parts of the world: from the Filipines, Vietnam, France, Brazil, Ghana...

Their items are made of car tires, paper, cans, plastic bags, plastic bottles (PET), to mention a few. Really nice!

Packing for De bePARKte Oplage

Today I prepared for De bePARKte Oplage in Antwerp, which will take place tomorrow (23rd of September) in Park Spoor Noord. I am looking forward to a special day, with lots of creative people, beautifully crafted items and many visitors, looking for unique products.

I will sell my purses, bags and pouches, my diy kits for creating your own cross stitch monogram tags, small gift boxes and bag tags. All made of tetrapack.

Hope to see you there!

Hoera is selling on crafts market in Antwerp

Some good news: I will be selling my upcycled purses and pouches on a crafts market in Antwerp on the 23rd of September. It is called De bePARKte Oplage, because it takes place in a park, in the north of Antwerp, and all items that are sold there are made in small quantities.

So everything that is sold there, is unique and handmade. The market is in a shelter, so no worries about rain. I'm looking forward to it, and would feel honored if you would pass by to say hello!
