About Me

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!

Favorite Crafts

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)

Favorite Music

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

My likes

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

My dislikes

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 :-)...

  • I don't drink coffee
  • I don't like animals (as I am afraid of them), nor animal-prints.
  • I don't like candy or mars-bars or something like that. Don't send me food.
  • Don't like Diddl or disney characters.
  • I don't use make-up.
  • Please don't send me ribbon, I have plenty of them
  • Don't send me a package you won't like either

Wishlist

  • happy pieces of fabric !!! (cotton or rib knits). I use them for nice clothes for my kids, so please no fabric for curtains or look-a-likes. I also like Amy Butler, Michael Miller, Moda, Stenzo, PIP, Tilda
  • sewing pattern or sewing magazine to sew clothes for my children, my husband or myself !! (in any language, when I don't understand, I use google translate)

Comment: Aw, you really didn't need to send this much! I like how you managed to make up a kit for celebrating Open That Bottle Night without including That Bottle. ;)
Response: Glad you like it! It was a though one :-)) I'll join the one for march and hope it will be a little bit easier :-)) But the more difficult, the more fun you have with it mostly.

Comment: Thanks for the great letter!! It was really pretty accurate... I mean, there were one or two mistakes, but it was all understandable :) I agree, this was the great swap. Hungarian is not so hard to pronounce, I think the only difficult letter is "gy" which sounds like "d" but you put your tongue at the top of your mouth :D
