I live together with my boyfriend and 2 cats in Berlin, Germany, since a couple of months. I come from the Netherlands, but my boyfriend is from here and he really wanted to go back, so we are trying Germany for a while :) We used to live in Amsterdam, where I studied at the art academy, to be a fashion designer, and graduated in July 2010! It was a really crazy busy year, with a lot of stress and not enough sleep, and hardly any swap-bot :) And now I live in Berlin... it takes a little getting used to. The city is really nice, but my German is not great yet, and I still have to find my way a bit, but I'm pretty sure it will be ok. :) I have a lot of free time at the moment, so enough time for swap-bot!
I really love all sorts of nice papers. I like to make small books of whatever material that comes by.
I like drawing, but am not as good at it as I would want to. My favorite illustrator is Julie Verhoeven.
I like a lot of 'textile' crafts, I like knitting and embroidery. I just bought a knitting machine (am super excited about it!), but haven't had time to really get in to that yet. I like working with textiles and different textile techniques, and always try to find interesting combinations.
I always have to buy nice yarns. But almost never use them, because I want to wait for the perfect moment. (trying to just get over that!) Same with nice papers, can't have enough, have boxes full. I even worked at a shop that sold mostly paper... :)
I learned of a whole bunch of new crafts after joining swap-bot, and I really like to give it all a try. So I have been making ATC's, inchies and Skinnies. I just made my first dotee doll. And am now working on an art journal!
oh! and since I studied to be a fashion designer I kinda like sewing to... :)
I like (old) jazz and french 'pop' music the most. And I have to admit I really enjoy listening to top 40 music from the last 30 years or so and sing a long, haha...
I like to read a lot and a lot of different sorts of books, just whatever comes by actually. So fantasy, fiction and non-fiction novels, and some chicklit every now and then. Of course I've read everything from Harry Potter! :) If you look at my book case it is just a big mix of everything, but I try to put the serious impressive books on eye level to make a good impression ;)
With movies it is a bit the same as with books... I like: 'Amelie', 'Science of sleep', '500 days of summer', 'Lost in translation', 'you, me and everyone we know' and pretty much everything from Tim Burton.
I like: pink, blues, red, purple, (off) white.
not a big fan of: neon colors
have to think what else...
I have put up my etsy favorites, not because I expect you to buy me something from that list. But just to give an idea about what sort of things I like, for when you think you could use some more information or something :)

Thank you so much for the November Once Upon a Time WTA gift. It was well worth the wait! I really appreciate the work/love that went into each page. Hand embroidered cover and pages, your illustration is beautiful and the stitched pages with the loose strands adds to the artistic style of the Hansel and Gretel book. WOW!!! I will post pictures in our Flickr group. Thank you so much! Hit me up anytime you want to do a private swap, your amazing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS from The Crafting Queens Group~
Your Batman dotee is so cute.
I got an envelope from you today with two zentangles in it. They are really cool looking but the envelope was so delightful that I posted it on my profile!
Thank you. I especially like the bird zentangle, looks like it takes a lot of patience to do!
Thank you for all the goodies for the poochie game. Fiona LOVES the stickers!!! I am excited about using the flowers and shaped buttons.
Gauw afspreken in de avod of het weekend is een GOED plan. Ik zou zondagmiddag kunnen of volgende week in de avond (alleen niet woensdag). Handig ook om dat via dit af te spreken! :) Tot gauw! Liefs, Suze (ps: als je een leuke swap tegenkomt met Moleskine, let me know!)
