Only 3 days in Gent and my stress level is sky high again! Tomorrow I’ve the exam I’m most afraid for... Pattern making! Although I like to make patterns, I do not like it now. Normally I’ve my reader near with the steps, but with the exam it has to come all out of my tiny little head. Help?

One of the things I wanted to do in 2012 is neglect my blog less. Well... Mission failed! I’ve been so busy the past few weeks, that I needed the last week of my holiday to charge my battery. After charging it with days spent with my grandparents, family, friends and boyfriend in every part of Holland, I’m ready to start this New Year. Unfortunately with an exam period from a month, but hey! Good things are coming... And now my sister is tattooed on my skin forever, she’s always with me to help and support me.

Which better way to start the New Year then with a shoot by one of Holland’s best photographers Mich Buschman? Yep today I had another shoot with this photographer. Here are already some backstage shots. Can’t wait for the results. And what do you think about my new hair color? Finally I’m a redhead again thanks to my lovely hairstylist Tessa!

2011 has almost come to an end! The year went by so fast. I can write here every single highlight, but infact there are more highlights to come in 2012. I hope I’ll graduate this year, moving in with my boyfriend, neglect my blog less and ofcourse a good health. But I can easily make wishes for myself, but the most important thing in my live is that my friends and family are happy and healthy! To all my dear readers I wish you a happy new year, with all the health and happiness you wish for!

Wishing you all a Tiffany&Co blue Christmas!

A couple of weeks ago I told you guys that I had to sew a coat, inspired by Thierry Mugler, for pattern making. That coat is already ready for a few weeks, but I didn’t have the time to post it. But with no lessons and only 1 paper to go, had could schedule some time to blog. And what do you think? Pretty nice huh, for some who couldn’t sew or make patterns before her minor!

Small things, can make big things happy!

I’m a hug Christmas fan. When the first Christmas things are hitting the store, I’ve to hold myself so I'm not buying anything. Now I’m here in Gent and the days before Christmas are coming closer; I miss home more and more. Especially decorating the Christmas tree with my sister and mom. I was really sad about that thought and that I didn’t have a Christmas tree in Gent. But this changed when my boyfriend bought me a Christmas tree. Because I’m a student I don't have much money to buy stuff to decorate it. But I can tell you it didn’t cost me a hunderd euro’s. Unfortunately it isn’t a really one, but a really one in a student room without a vacuum cleaner... Not such a good idea!

For the main project of my minor we had to find a way to recycle old carpet. We thought about a lot of things, but we ended up with the ReBiBag. A basket for your bicycle. We made two prototypes; unfortunately we had to hand one in to Associated Weavers which was our ‘client’ and one for our school. So what do you think of our project? Nice isn’t it!

Because of my stay in Belgium I almost missed out on a traditional Dutch holiday. Sinterklaas! Although I’m too old to believe in him, it’s still one of my favorite holidays. So together with my fellow Dutchies in Gent we decided to celebrate it, with a dice game.
