Sweetmama

I am 37 years old and live in the Netherlands, in a small town and a little bit out of town. I have two small children, work at a big company near me.

I always run out of time, doing yoga and sports, keeps me somewhat fit. I love shopping, which I don't get to do very often anymore.

Sewing is something I also love doing. Right now I am working on some baby stuff for my niece or cousin. New in sewing clothes and a bit uncertain. I am certainly a fabric addict. I pick it up everywhere and it never seems enough. Since I am a mom of two small children I always seem to run out of time with all my activities so too much plans and too little time!!

Micheal Franti, without a doubt very inspiring man. Milow, beautifull voice, Belgian artist Racoon, love them, live a real must-see Adele, also favourite Coldplay, U2, Jack Johnson.

I just love music a lot and seeing live performances is something I don't get to do very often but enjoy very much.

I am very into the Stieg Larsson trilogy right now, but I read just about anything. Sewing books and cooking books, that I have a lot of. Would love swapping them.

Oh, and I love the book PS I love you by Cecilia Ahern, one of my favourites Furthermore, I buy a lot of pattern books and would love to swap some patterns.

Haven't seen much of them lately, but I love alternative movies. Not much into the standard Hollywood kind of movies.

I love the new serie (new in NL) Frings. Further project catwalk and project runway are big time favourites.

I don't watch that much TV right now...

I like doing things a little bit different, small, personal. I like it when things are local and personal and not the same allover the world. I love people being creative and not just working from a format which is the same allover the world.

I totally love anything retro, I totally love the 70s. The style I really like is the zakka style, the Japanese things that you use around the house. I also love those little croched animals, I am not that much into croching myself, so if any one else can, my kids would really love those.

If anyone would be able to swap some of my sewing books for a japanese one or some copies of one that would totally make my day.

Further I like all things handmade and would be totally happy with just about any swap

I am not a big fan of disney figures, Hello Kitty and all those things. On the contrary, my daugher is...

I don't like those bear figures that you see in childrens rooms, and am not a fan of pastels.
