From October 28 – November 1, 2015 the biggest annual craft & hobby fair in The Netherlands is going to be held again in “De Jaarbeurshallen” in Utrecht: KreaDoe.
Whether you love to crochet, knit, sew, make cards, design jewellery, or bake cakes, well basically ànything creative: you’ll find it there. A true paradise for any creative person!
It’s not the kind of fair that you visit to only wátch beautiful stuff (which is fun in itself, of course), no: there’s a wealth of workshops and activities, meet&greets going on as well – now, that’s what we really love, don’t we?
And the coolest thing happened: I was asked to blog for KreaDoe, together with some other bloggers, like JipbyJan, DraadenPraat, Dendennis, LotteHaakt, ConfettiLab, all of us sharing a couple of our favorite diy’s, that are now nicely being gathered in one place.
I’m sure you’ll all be inspired by just the beautiful photos of these pretty do-it-yourself projects – just a little note for you non-Dutch readers: you will have to turn Google Translate on.
My very first blog post for KreaDoe was published last week, and it’s a personal favorite: how to make a yarn ends bowl.
I think I’ve made 3 big ones and 4 smaller ones so far (plus a lamp, hearts, votives, you can read about that here) and I still love making them. As a matter of fact, the container that holds my yarn ends is filled to the brim, so there’s some more yarn ends play in my foreseeable future.
To make the bowl, you can find the English diy here, and the Dutch version here. Thanks to KreaDoe the tutorial is available in both languages now! Have fun!
I’m working on my second blog post for KreaDoe right this moment, and will let you know here as soon as it’s published. I’ll have a little giveaway (well, actually two) ready for you then as well …..
On top of all this: me blogging for KreaDoe means there’s something in it for you too!
If you order your tickets by clicking on the KreaDoe banner or this link, you won’t pay the regular price of Eur. 12,50 per ticket, but you’ll get yours for just Eur. 10,00 each.
A Eur. 2,50 discount per ticket’s pretty nice, I’d say.
Now, I’m planning to visit KreaDoe on Thursday October 29, and wouldn’t it be lovely to see you there in person? Please let me know if you’re going – very much looking forward to it!
Love,
Marianne xx

Leuke schalen! Ik was het ook van plan maar bij het opruimen heb ik laatst de draadeindjes met pot en al weggegooid haha. Ik heb wel een bakje naast m’n stoel staan dus toch maar weer gaan bewaren denk ik ;)
En ik ga ook donderdag de 29e :D
Groetjes, Wendy

You are a genius! Waste not, want not, as the saying goes. I guess I had better start saving up all my yarn ends, yes! 😊

Isn’t it an extremely fun way to use up even the very last of our yarn? I loved it when I stumbled upon the very first yarn ends bowl on the www some years ago (you can read about that here: http://marrose-ccc.com/tutorials-2/yarn-ends-bowl/)! Marianne xx
