So it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything really interesting (unless you count puppets made of paper as interesting), it’s time for a little update.
I still work at IBM, but this time I went freelance. Marjolein Tamis Translations is my one-woman company, and it’s thriving well already. I almost have enough resources to [...]
Darth Vader
I really liked how Sam & Max turned out in cubeecraft, so when I noticed this one I just had to make it too. Darth Vader, including helmet and light sabre!
cthulhu dice bag
I finished this quite a while ago but I thought I’d still post it here: my cute knitted dice bag. Thanks to Faragon I was able to start right away, since she gave me wool and the pattern for it. I think I knitted the pattern a bit tight but it’s not [...]
The other day I was clicking around on the interwebs, and found cubeecraft.com. You can download a pattern for a cubic version of your favourite character, print it out (on thicker paper), cut all the lines and then put it together, no glue or tape required. Yesterday I decided to try it out with two [...]
Up until a few days ago, when I made my last post, I thought I had a very nice theme worked out for my blog. The only issue was, posts kept loading really slowly, as if they were waiting for something. I didn’t know enough about it to figure out what could cause it, but [...]
Recently, my mother opened her hobby shop. One day before opening she got an offer from someone at Pixelhobby, and she decided to sell it along with the stuff she’d already stocked. Pixelhobby now accounts for a large part of her profits.
But what is it? Well, remember Ministeck? Pixelhobby works the other way around: [...]
I’ve wanted a tattoo since forever (well, I think I was 16 when I got the idea) and I’ve known it was going to be this one for the past two years. I always imagined I should have it tattooed when my life is coming together, becoming calmer. It seemed right to think so since [...]
My mind and my iPhone are in the nineties, and it’s spring time. This is where it’s taking me…
I can’t believe we were into that kind of sunglasses back then, although I can imagine this video would still do well today. The nineties are very underrated in that sense. In a related mood (imo), check [...]
Even before I finished my first project, Liessa gave me cute wool and this pattern: Fetching fingerless gloves. This looked like a big challenge to me because it featured knitting in the round -and- knitting cables. Also I was really unsure about how the thumb of the glove should be made. But I thought, what [...]
A while ago the knitting virus hit me too, and I bought some cheap wool to start off my first project with. As I was knitting it in a cafe in Amsterdam, some girl talked to me and suggested (only a million times) that I should make it into a phone pouch. I liked that [...]
