This week’s featured artist is Jamie Ferraioli. Her Etsy shop is called Magic Bean Buyer and she sells the cutest little clay figurines, all hand-sculpted and painted. Besides the Teeny Plini Dolls (all with something cute on their heads like cupcakes, cherries and cakes) and Kittehs she also makes custom wedding cake toppers. Sweet!

Last weekend I moved to Rotterdam. We’re still busy with unpacking and decorating but day by day the house is looking better and better. My boyfriend has a lot of vintage furniture and they inspired me to make this week’s mosaic. Living in a new house in a whole new city inspires me so so much. My head is full of fresh ideas, I love it!

Click on the links below the mosaic to see who made it.

Only one week to go till I’m moving in with my boyfriend in Rotterdam.  I’m superduper excited eventhough I still have a lot of work to do before the actual moving day.  In the new house I’ll have my own craft room, already painted it pink but I’m not entirely sure what to do with the decorating yet. On Flickr I’ve found some really good craft room inspiration to help me out.

I love the color combination Jennifer @ LilMissCupcake’s used for her craft room. It’s colorful but still very calm. A lovely place to work in.

Like most crafters I’m a little bit chaotic. Therefore I like my things to be organized. I would love to have a cabinet like the one Mada’s Place has in her craft room.

Like Messy Jesse I have a lot of baskets and cans as well. Love the shelving above the bureau, everything look so neat and cosy.

A great idea for a design bord. This one is made by Bright and Blithe. She has a tutorial on her website so maybe I’ll make one myself.

What a year it was! So many changes… but they all turned out so well! Just like last year I made a mosaic to review my year.

1. I finally graduated
2. I moved to Deventer to start a new life
3. I spend a lot of time with my girlfriends (thanks girls!)
4. I started working as a volunteer at our local concert hall
5. I made a lot of fun and worked very hard
6. I lost my beautiful Jackey…
7. … and found my true love <3
8. I made a trip to Stockholm
9. But most of all I followed my heart and became happy again

I’m thankful for a the good things that happened to me this year and am exited about what 2010 will bring me. But one thing I know for sure, I will keep following my heart!

Wishing you a great New Year’s eve and a very happy New Year!

It’s no secret… I’m in love… big time! Me and mr Cute met on MySpace and it was love on the first ‘email’. We emailed for a couple of days and then decided to plan a date since we already had fallen in love. I know it sounds kind of bizarre but we both just knew we are made for each other. A week after our first email we had a date on the beach. When I saw him in real life I was absolutely sure… I’ll never let him go! He is so super cute and really handsome. We have the same interests, style and view of life. Everything is just perfect and I’ve never been this happy in my life!!! <3
