latest sewing projects

+ an apron for Lotte, who turned 2

+ pillow covers from my stoffn.de fabrics


All punk stamps found a home. Wow, thank you so much!
More punks coming soon

A new Dutch webshop called wikkie

and now for something slightly different

This punk with stinkyfinger was one of my early dolls.

A while back Elisa left a comment on this blog and said, it would be nice
to have a little-punk-with-stinkyfinger-rubber-stamp

and I thought well, why not. Ok, in fact I thought, OMG that´s a FABULOUS IDEA

So here he is for all you punk hearted girls and boys out there :)






It´s really fun to use these paddy sticks (from Rico Design) and play around with colors

I only have a very small number of this stamp available at the moment,
which I´d like to offer exclusively on the blog

*******************************************************
Print size: 6 cm in length, mounted on wooden block (4 x 7 cm)
Prize: 12 EUR plus shipping
*******************************************************

If you want to stamp your town with a stinkyfinger punk too, please
send me an email to sandra(at)herzensart(dot)com

Thank you and a special thanks to Elisa!

parasols - new old love

I had found 2 old parasols at a fleamarket in France. The one in the pic above and
this one. Both awakend some childhood summer memories, so I had to take them with me
(each was only 2 EUR)

The red bench in front of my studio is from grandmothers house, one of the pieces I wanted to safe

Viking no.134 is a custom order and the last one with this kind of dotted fabric.
The fabric is all gone now.

my husband took some secret shots through the window today

Friday already and I´ve not done very much this week.
Summer still shows itself from the best side, it´s HOT!

Summer in pictures

Have a nice weekend, dears!

while I was away...

+ the grass in front of my studio grew high

+ and in the factory garden as well

+ a copy of the new Penguin book "simple softies" arrived
{it includes 15 quick and easy patterns, 2 of them are my pink submarine and the little anti-spy-Xmas tree}


+ some more fabric swatches from stoffn.de

I´m slowly getting back to work, which I find not easy at temperatures over 30 degrees
But the back part of my studio is like a {dark} cave and stays almost chilly


I like the pics at folcloric blog
