marijke

Hi, I am Marijke, 30 years old, mom of 3 children (°2004,°2006,°2008). I normally work as a programmer-analyst in a banking company, but I 'm having a carreer break to take care of the children. This gives me also more time to do all creative stuff. 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! 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, decorate cake (with marzipan) and make greeting cards (with clear stamps and color it in with copic markers)

I love all kind of pop-music.. from Sinead o'connor to Bjork, from Seal to Admiral Freebie

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 pink, yellow, pastel colors, no dark colors. I like flowers. 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 like coffee and 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 like Diddl. I don't use make-up.

My son is fond of everything about the movie Cars and Spiderman and colors: everything except black and white. My eldest daughter is fond of elfs, princess Lillifee, Hello Kitty and pink.

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

Fantasy, SF, drama. I don't really like those all-typicle american action movies.

• happy pieces of fabric (cotton or rib knits): I like little flowers (no painted big ones), fruity fabric and bright colors like pink, yellow, red, orange, pastel (no dark colors). I also like Amy Butler, Michael Miller.
