Etsy shop online!

I finally opened the Etsy shop. Go to sellers and surch for" BlumaBlue" and you will find me. The url BlumaBlue.etsy.com does not work for the moment.

There are only a few items for sale for the moment like my Prissy and my Poppy doll and one of the T shirts but I plan to put more items in as soon as I got the time.

On top you see my Poppy doll. It is 26 cm / 11 ¨ high and is made of new cotton and felt and stuffed with new polyester filler. In her tummy she has a little plastic squaker.

This is Prissy. She is 12¨ / 30cm high. I love her sweet face and her "rasta" like curls.

She also is made of new cotton fabric and felt and also has new polyester stuffing and a squaker in her tummy.

Hope you like them too.

I aim to put not only dolls in the shop but also some small quilted items like pillow covers and small quilts and also some vintage items.

Starting up a new blog

Hello to all creative people! This is a new blog where I hope to tell you about the things I create and make.

I am busy starting up an Etsy shop that will have the same name as this blog. Trough this blog and my Etsy shop I hope to meet other creative bloggers and make some friends with simular interests.

All my life I have been creating. I had good examples at our house. My mother is a fabulous seamstres and my father could make everything he saw. He also dabbled in oils and watercolor painting. So from early on in my live I was no stranger to creative things.
From my earliest childhood I made things. It started with cutting up hankerchiefs to make dolls clothes! Following on to making ragdolls. When I got married I soon became mother to two children and the next creative stream emerged from having them. I started making some things for my childrens like pillows and toys and clothing. After a while, I was a stay at home mom, I started making quilts. The children are now 34 and 31 and I am still making quilts.

I have a huge stash of fabric in the house so now I am planning to use part of that to make other things than quilts. There will be always quilts in the house but I will never have enough lives to finish all the fabric that I have collected.

To give you an idea how much fabric I have....This is only part of my fabric stash! There are some 12 drawers full of fabric too!!!As you can she even this amount I will never finish in my lifetime. So maybe I will also start selling up a bit of that too! The house is bursting out of its seams!!!

On the top of this page you see the quilt that is an impression of my front garden. I love blue flowers so my blogname comes from that and....from a little Maine Coon cat that I have.
Apart from teaching patchwork and quilting for 25 years I also run a little Maine Coon cattery.

One od my other big interests is cooking. So from time to time you will find some recepies here too since I think that cooking is a highly creative proces.

This is my first introduction to you all. Hope to meet other creative souls so leave me a little message!
