Last week I took the overnight ferry from Hull (UK) to Zeebrugge (Belgium). At first a bit scary - but what a view!

Hope You like them.. I am very pleased with the results!<br />
<br />
This is the first one! First sewed a basic scrunchy with a lovely fabric. Sewed on some lovely buttons. Added some pearls and finished it off with a nice bow.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1 ❦ Find yourself a nice pumpkin. Its best to give the pumpkin a rinse before starting.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/B905BA79-9331-4F03-A35D-7844412CFF1B-4588-000007EAD9C00B14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/B905BA79-9331-4F03-A35D-7844412CFF1B-4588-000007EAD9C00B14.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2 ❦ Get your tools ready. Use a sharp knife and a small spoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3 ❦ Make an opening in the top of the pumpkin. You can choose - either you can make a round opening or you can make a star shaped opening (just like I did).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/B8FBCE7C-C111-4B88-AA6E-88DFFE8E04C6-4588-000007EAFB4193E0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/B8FBCE7C-C111-4B88-AA6E-88DFFE8E04C6-4588-000007EAFB4193E0.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 4 ❦ empty the pumpkin. Get all the seeds out and cut out an extra layer of the pumpkin (keep it for a nice pumpkin soup!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 5 ❦
Draw a face on the pumpkin. Use erasable ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/A135DA78-8036-487D-9069-4EC6E4A93E68-4588-000007EB0A4F0D78.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/A135DA78-8036-487D-9069-4EC6E4A93E68-4588-000007EB0A4F0D78.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 6 ❦ Start cutting out the face with a small sharp knife. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/4510378D-ACEF-4515-B8C8-B4DB6147CC74-4588-000007EB1573114C.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/4510378D-ACEF-4515-B8C8-B4DB6147CC74-4588-000007EB1573114C.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/1B8D01A6-8AB6-4F68-823D-18E2CE44DB10-4588-000007EB3B73B35E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/1B8D01A6-8AB6-4F68-823D-18E2CE44DB10-4588-000007EB3B73B35E.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 7 ❦ You can create different light intensities and highlight in the face by cutting off some of the top skin layer of the pumpkin. For example, cut of the skin layer of some teeth and the internal eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can also add extra features such as a scary scar! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 8 ❦ Clean off the marker. Wait until its dark - OR - if you cant wait to see the result (just like me), find yourself a dark room. Put a candle in the pumpkin and enjoy!</div>

I've been trying this app for some time now and I must say it is a lot of fun. I first tried out the free version and later switched tot the paid version (0,99$) since it allows you to send pictures. And I've already received several pictures from all over the world.<br />

<br />
For those amongst you who don't know it. <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>The concept</b></span></span> is: the system gives you an adress of a random postcrossing member and a unique code! Then, you send that person a postcard with the unique code! When this postcard arrives at its destination, the receiver puts the unique code into the postcrossing sytem and it registers that this postcard has reached its destination. Drom the moment one of your cards is registered, your address goes to someone else who has to send you a postcard... The more postcards you send, the more postcards you receive! Its an amazing way to get to know the world and a good activity to do with your children!<br />
<br />
This is the website: <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/">http://www.postcrossing.com/</a><br />
<br />
Today I've sent 4 cards to these countries: Russia, Belarus, Germany and Holland.<br />

<br />
Blog number 1: <a href="http://www.smadronia.com/" target="_blank">Smadronia's Adventures</a><br />
<br />
This blog is really nice to read. As the title says, post cover a broad range of subjects. I find it really fun to read the posts as it is written really reader-friendly. Recent posts cover Smadronia's adventures on Swap-bot and what sounds like a really nice Anniversary vacation in Seattle. Oh... BTW: you can also find an onion garlic cheese bread recipe on the website.<br />
<br />
<br />
Blog number 2: <a href="http://beyourheroandsaveyourself.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Be your hero and save yourself</a><br />
<br />
This blog is completely different from the one above, but equally fun to read :) The recently covered topics are Swap-Bot, Instagram, a Dotee Doll swap and Rainbow tears (really amazing these tears!).<br />
<br />
Keep up the good blogging work Girls! :-)Jenny's swap-bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12263879089985509770noreply@blogger.com0Leuven, Belgium50.877571 4.70432850.797419500000004 4.5463995000000006 50.9577225 4.8622565tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294186488297230772.post-83178866035943713222012-09-18T23:11:00.001-07:002012-09-18T23:11:01.851-07:00More bracelets! - photo updateThere are some new listings on my etsy store: from now on you can choose custom made bracelets!

Making jewelery is a very nice DIY! although I am not an expert, I had a go at making some earrings and beaded bracelets. When you have the right tools, ik can be great fun to make your own pair of earrings! I loved how you suddenly got so much artistic freedom in what you could will be wearing the next day and not just be limited to what the jellewery shop offers! Here are some of my creations:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Just something to remember: When making your own jewellery, make sure that you know which material your components are made of. Look out for components containing Nickel or Lead. Many people (including me) are allergic to these components. Reports exist of jewellery containing small amounts of lead, which can be toxic.</div>

Time for an update!</p> <p align="justify">Recently I have become interested in origami or the Japanese art of paper folding... On one of the swaps I joined on Swap-bot, my partner sent me some very cute heart shaped origami bookmarks! I just loved them! So I decided to give it a go. Whilst browsing You Tube for videos I found out that there is SO MUCH you can make in origami! It is amazing! As a result I’ve created a new page on Origami, where I will post my Origami projects => <a href="http://swap-blog.weebly.com/origami.html" target="_blank">ORIGAMI</a></p> <p align="center"> <img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/a0be4e97.jpg" width="240" height="181"> <img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/1a6aafd8-1.jpg" width="240" height="181"></p> <hr> <p>I’ve made several new ATCs</p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/fcb74262-1.jpg" width="170" height="240"></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/e02cd771-1.jpg" width="168" height="240"></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/61a48076-1.jpg" width="240" height="165"></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/eddaaec6-1.jpg" width="240" height="174"></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/eeebd86e-1.jpg" width="240" height="171"></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/3e5d4d1e-1-1.jpg" width="240" height="172"></p> <hr> <p>Some Photography <img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/aff6da64.jpg" width="230" height="240"></p> <p align="center">Stella – Our French Bulldog – <em>attention Plz?</em></p> <p align="center"><em>***</em></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/9b61cc23.jpg" width="230" height="240"></p> <p align="center">Work work work</p> <p align="center">***</p> <p align="center"><img src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/1af72d1b.jpg" width="240" height="240"></p> <p align="center">Swap-Blog Background</p> <p align="center">***</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">HAPPY SWAPPING! :)</p> Jenny's swap-bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12263879089985509770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294186488297230772.post-53076800627463077342012-03-25T05:53:00.001-07:002012-03-25T05:53:35.746-07:00BIG update–ATCs, Amigurumi, Crochet and Mail Art<p> </p> <p>Finally, an update! </p> <p align="justify">I’ve made several ATCs for several swaps! I did a few personal swaps on ATCsforALL (BLIND PIF swaps – european and international). I must say, it is a really nice concept! You just ask the person who lost posted on the forum for their ATC and you offer the next person one of your own ATC! The nice thing is that you just claim as many ATCs based on the amount of ATCs you are able to send at that time. So, no overkill! </p> <p align="justify">I’ve also made some postage stamp ATCs for my postage stamp ATC swaps on swap-bot and the swap homepage has also been updated with a lot more ATCs made by people joining the swap.

I've made this ATC for the <i>Altered picture ATC swap with a twist. </i>So I received the main picture of the girl from my swap partner and I had to work around it :) I loved doing this since it made me think a bit more 'out of my comfort-zone'. <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/e5f82ef1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/e5f82ef1.jpg" width="240" /></a> <a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/7d3dd558-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="101" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/7d3dd558-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the left one in the left picture has one of my friends her name on it. The letters are stamped and heat embossed. Than I also added 3 gemstones to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The right one in the left picture as a background made out of paper from an old book. Then I've put an old English postage stamp in it and embellished it with gemstones. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The top bottle caps are meant to clip onto the earrings (See former post). The background paper is blue with white dots and the flowers were embossed onto it. Finally I've put a pearl in the center of each flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, these were my initial/ basic attempts to make altered bottle caps. While making them I came up with some new and better ideas! I already got my supplies for the new attempts and will tell you all about it when I show you the results in one of my latter posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, for ATCs; since the second Postage Stamps ATC swap on swap-bot has started I made A third Postage Stamp ATC swap, this time on China. You can see all the swaps on the swap webpage:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.swap-blog.weebly.com/postage-stamp-atcs.html" target="_blank">Postage Stamp ATC swap</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've now also added a feedback form on the hompage + A poll where you can tell me which country you would like to see next!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, this is my Canada Postage Stamp ATC:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/5711ba7e-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/5711ba7e-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also had to make an ATC for the orange Owl ATC swap on swap-bot:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/6cbf2f78-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/6cbf2f78-1.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Finally, I also wanted to add that I've updated the homepage for the 'My Pet ATC swap' Which I have hosted on Swap-bot. The nice thing is that a lot of people have sent me a picture of their ATC's so I could make a collage of them on the homepage. I will definitely organize this swap again! It was great fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Have a look on the homepage: <a href="http://www.swap-blog.weebly.com/my-pet---atc-swap.html" target="_blank">My Pet ATC Swap</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Thats it for now :) Happy crafting and happy swapping! </div>

Now finally I had a go myself:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/63827a71.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/63827a71.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/8e8fd5b0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/8e8fd5b0.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I send out a swap on for example swap-bot I like to treat my swap partners with something extra :) So, for my first 2 altered bottle caps I decided to make my partners a modified bottle cap with the first letter of their name on :) The letters were made in clay and incorporated into the bottle cap + some furnishings. The left one is a key hanger and the right one is magnetic.</div>
<br />
Then I decided to make some earrings for myself:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/c899c317.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac180/Jennifervandooren/c899c317.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The idea I had was that the bottle caps should be exchangeable. So, the bit that goes trough your ear is attached to one of those typical bracelet locks which you can than lock onto your bottle cap. So whenever you want you can take off the cap and put another one on it. I am very happy with the outcome. I first thought that they would be to big for being earrings, however, they do look wonderful so I will wear them tomorrow :) and make some more :) So;<b> to be continued</b>!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've also made some new ATC's for different swaps:</div>

This is the ATC I've made for my <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/110630" target="_blank"><b>Postage Stamp ATC Swap</b></a> on Swap-Bot which I am currently hosting. YOU CAN STILL JOIN THE SWAP :) the signup deadline is 28 january 2012. It is supposed to be a series of ATC swaps, namely: postage stamp ATCs - you create a postage stamp for the country on that swap. This is the first one and it is '<b>Australia</b>'.</div>
