marijke

Hi, I am Marijke, 33 years old, mom of 3 children (°2004,°2006,°2008). I work as a programmer-analyst in a banking company. I mostly sew clothes for my children, but I sew almost everything. I try to do some swaps on a belgian site, to do other creative things than only sewing and I love swapping! I play basketball in a team. My native language is dutch and can speak english, french and german.

I always send out swaps and tags. If there is a problem, please contact me and we try to find a solution!

I love to sew clothes, make greeting cards (with clear stamps and color it in with copic markers), do crossstitch, embroidery, knitting and love to try new crafts. I recently started with making jewelry (necklaces & earrings)

I love all kind of pop-music, mostly from the 90's.

I like to be creative, like to play with my children. Love to travel, watch a movie from time to time and cooking. I also like surfing the web to interesting stories, blogs, things where I can learn from. I'm fond of italian and thai food. I like sunny springtime colors.I like purple, turquoise. I don't like fluo or neon. I like flowers. I like fabric Bizzkids- and Stenzo-look-a-likes, Amy Butler, Japanese fabric. I like Forever Friends, Care Bears.

My son is fond of everything about Ben 10, Bakugan and Beyblades and colors: everything except black and white. My eldest daughter is fond of elfs, princess Lillifee, Hello Kitty, My Little Pony and pink and nail polish. My youngest daughter is fond of Bumba, Princess and Minnie Mouse and yellow!

I can't get that here: Moda fabric, Amy butler fabric & patterns, sewing books

I really don't like people who use others to get what they want. I also don't like people who find themselves the most important person in the world. Just be a nice and gently person :-)...
