A short update;

Since my hip replacement (in january) I have recovered nicely and I can walk quite good again.

Sitting at home and enjoying a slower pace of life, during my recovery,

made me decide to go and take (early) retirement.

I am now 61 and have been working for 44 years.

Even longer when you count holiday and a weekend job when I was in my teens.

Now I can create crochet items, illustrate things and other crafts, potter in the garden, or just do nothing at all, guilt free and at another pace than before.

I also made my own (and all English) webshop! Check it out sometimes; https://www.teenyweenydesign.com

(But my Etsy shop is also still there)

This is what I designed and created the last few months; ENJOY!!

I would love.....

..........to try and post more regularly, but I never do.

I saw another Blog and was inspired again...

Here in the Netherlands the weather right now is sunny....the crocuses have dissapeared and I have a very solitairy daffodil in my front garden.

Luckally my Viburnum has exploded with flowers, which are happily been visited by many bees.

I am crocheting on various projects....

Bru Island Doll Outfit Easter

Bru Island Doll Outfit Spring

and just send an order to the US.

Hat for Middie Blythe

It has been a while, regarding orders from my webshop ( www.teenyweenydesign.etsy.com ). I think it is due to the (very expensive) shipping costs and safety regulations. It used to be so easy and cheaper, because everything was send flat, like a letter in an envelope. Now it is regarded as a parcel.

Luckally people understand and orders are starting to come in again.

And this motivate me to make more lovely things....

Striking a pose....

(outfit is included in Bru sland Doll Outfit easter)

What else? Working on a baret for Blythe...

And , not creativally related; 199 colleagues and I demonstrated, on the 5th of March,

against cuts in people at my job. Several Unions were there, as well a political representatives.

The plans are to close Ticket/Information counters at many railwaystations and reduce, drastically,

the Service Employees.

On our way to the designated demonstration area near the Central Railway Station in Utrecht....

All Covid -19 regulations were respected.

It felt quite impressive....

Hi, I'm back!!!

OOOOPsssss! I'm back

Love to have been blogging more frequently, but I see my last post was in 2015!!! Shame on me.
I just didn't use it that often, and after some time, I just forgot.
Making a new start (I hope)
Life and work take over sometimes.

I still work for the Dutch Railways, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Railwaycompany in the Netherlands)
And I still create chrocheted things. In the first place for Blythe dolls, and BJD.

Here are some of my recent creations …..(most of them are sold, but please visit my webshop on Etsy; https://www.etsy.com/shop/teenyweenydesign )
