About Me

My name is Eveline. I live in a town near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I'm married and we have two boys and a little girl. A cat is running around the house too.

Favorite Crafts

I love to sew: stuff for kids, quilts and bags.I like to crochet too. Being busy with paper, making treats for holidays and birthdays, cards en homedecoration is a favorite passtime. Metalstamping and making epoxy jewelry is something new I'm trying these days.

Favorite Music

My favorite music is punkrock en NY Hardcore (f.e.: NOFX, Sick of it all, Pennywise, No Use for a Name) and also old-school disco, Abba and singing along with musicals like The Sound of Music and Grease. But I also like to listen to Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphy's and ska-music.

Favorite Movies

I like to watch Costume Drama's from the BBC: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility. Gone with the Wind is so beautiful too! Downton Abbey and Brigerton are great to watch. I have seen al the Harry Potter-movies many times! I can quote almost all the lines from Pulp Fiction too!

Favorite Books

When I'm crafting, sewing, baking, painting or whatever, I listen to audiobooks. It's a great way to keep up with literature and being busy with my hands.

I also read a lot. The latest books I read where The Hunger Games-serie, Jennifer Egan - 'A visit from the Goon Squad' and a book from a Dutch writer, Simone van der Vlugt. A book of Louis Couperus , "The discovery of heaven" written by Harry Mulisch. I've just finished 'Island beneath the sea" by Isabel Allende and it is a great book!

Favorite Television

I enjoy The Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time on television. And when Feyenoord or the Dutch soccer-team plays, I'll watch all their games. In the winter I like to watch the ice-skating too.

Favorite Things

Receiving mail and packages is one of the nicer things in live. And if they have real stamps on it, it is even better!

I like:

100% cotton fabric,

Quilting supplies,

fabric banners,

handmade bags and purses,

magazines from foreign countries (crafting, sewing or homedecoration),

old books (from before 1950),

Sharpie pens (Please only the real ones, not the fakes like Sharpei),

washi-tape (no deco-tape or plastic tape),

Duct-tape with illustrations,

Holly Hobby,

Anne of Green Gables,

Pippi Langkous (Longstocking),

Calvin and Hobbes,

Laura Ingalls Wilders' Little House on the Prairie (the books, definitely NOT the tv-serie!!!)

Anything from Stampin' Up ,

Rubber stamps,

New York,

Racoons,

Anything from Tim Holtz,

Anything from Martha Stewart,

Nativity scenes,

Christmas,

Virgin Mary ephemera

Easter,

Halloween,

Sinterklaas,

Panda bears,

Starbucks Mugs,

Alice in Wonderland,

Little Red Riding Hood,

Jip en Janneke

Fiep Westendorp

Silhouette Cameo-items.

Candy, but fabric-sealed, not loose, and I would really like Halloween Candy Corn. It is not available here!

White or milk chocolate with a filling (not the dark kind and certainly not filled with peanut butter; I recently got a Wonka-crème Brulée- bar and it was sooooo good),

Herbal tea,

Coca cola zero,

And on my Pinterest wishlist and Etsy wishlist there is a lot more I really like and you can use for an indication.

For postcard-swaps:

Postcards from your town or country, love the ones with landscapes, with something written about your life. Or postcards with books on it or with illustrations from books and postcards or related to one of my favorite things!

Swapping

I love swapping and I'll do my best to send out nice and if possible, profile-based packages. And I like it a lot if I can see that my swap-partner has read my profile too and makes the swap with tender, love and care and if they use real stamps instead of the printed ones, I would really appreciate it!

I will always send as soon as I can. If I am late in sending, I will always mail my partner. PLEASE contact me if you don't receive a swap from me or if you're not happy with it! I'm always willing to prepare a new one and re-send it!

If you would like something from the Netherlands or something you have seen on my website, please contact me and maybe we could do a private swap!

Comment: Extra heart for you Eveline! I loved all the things you sent but I specially liked the blue mug, the earrings and the reusable sac (which I'm using to carry the extra phone battery around). Everything arrived in perfect condition and I loved the way you wrapped every single item and labelled individually each thing!!!!! GRACIAS!

Thank you for the suggestion, glad you joined my Austen swap, Im really looking forward to this one! :)

MissWhimsy on Mar 15, 2014:

Hi! Ive edited the TIAZ Group swap for "Jane Austen' In A Baggie to be international now, and also senders choice on all Austen themed items, no having to pick from a pre-set list, hopefully that will be less restricting for everyone inspiration wise, and now everyone can join in, thanks for the suggestion! :)--Sarah

Hallo Eveline, Wat leuk. Ook ik heb kaarten in mijn voorraaddozen van de tentoonstelling van Chanel in Den Haag. Ik ben een echte museumganger. Maar wel selectief. Als het iets met textiel is, of moderne kunst, beeldhouwwerk, schilderijen enz, dat interesseert mij. Ik wil bv ook voor 11 mei nog naar de Kunsthal in Rotterdam voor de schoenen en de stoffen van Marimekko. En ik eindig zo'n bezoek natuurlijk altijd met het kopen van een stapeltje kaarten om mijn voorraad aan te vullen. Happy swapping

snailmailer1 on Jan 23, 2014:

Ha ha. The edibles are always the first to go in my house too. I'm glad the parcel arrived safely. It's been a pleasure swapping with you, as always :) x
