No, the jar is not closed. The word was “Closed”. No need to worry, there is a new word on the homepage! Closed is a weird word to use as inspiration. There are closed eyes, closed doors, closed books. What really made me think about something that is affecting all of us, right now. So …
Yes, another word from the Jar of Ideas I had so much fun with! I think it is very important to have fun with boobies – especially when they’re your own. But I didn’t want to make this too much of a statement. Female empowerment and loving your own body is something that I fight …
Do you remember? Over a year ago, the final season of Game of Thrones aired. People who named their daughters Khaleesi wished they hadn’t, the final battle for the throne began and I was Team Sansa all the way. Also over a year ago, I pulled ‘Game of Thrones’ from my Jar of Ideas. It …
Scroll down for the word for February! December is always a busy month. Holidays, family, lots of food… That means little to no time to get creative! And after Christmas, I went to Marrakech for a eleven-day vacation, so my time to get creative got even shorter! Luckily, the word “Pancakes” can be easily made into something we need to do …
We’re almost done with 2018. And what a year it has been. I will spare you the details, but it has been a rollercoaster. That’s why I am really looking forward to the holidays, and my trip to Morocco right after! With the post for December’s Jar of Ideas coming next week, this is the …
Scroll down for the word of December! For once, it came to me immediately after reading the word I pulled out of my jar. It had to be cross stitch, and it had to be “Gym shark” – preferably with a shark, but I knew I only had the smallest hoops and probably no time …
Scroll down for the word of November! Oink, oink! What to do with “Pig”? I started thinking about Piglet, Minecraft pigs, crochet a pig of my own design, piggy bank, piggy back rides, and even thought about materials: if I wasn’t going to use yarn, what else could I use? I ended up with perler …
Scroll down for the word of October! Sometimes, things don’t happen how you imagine them. Like last weekend, when I was working on the Jar of Ideas of September. It was the last weekend of September, and I had a few things to do, but I had enough time planned to finish this painting. On …
Scroll down for the word of September! Ah, Barcelona. The third city I pull out of the Jar of Ideas. I kind of see a theme. One of my sisters probably wrote all the major cities (in Europe? Or the world?) on pieces of paper, to fill the jar a bit. Since I have never …
Scroll down for the word of August! While July in the Netherlands was extremely dry, I had to make something with the word “Plants”! Normally that would fit July like a charm, with it’s blooming nature and lots of green scenery. Unfortunately this is not a good year for plants: because of hot temperatures and …
Scroll down for the word of July Imagine you love anything that’s in the fantasy-genre. Imagine then pulling the word “Elves” out your Jar of Ideas. The possibilities are endless! And that’s why this word was more difficult than others: I could do so much different things, but nothing was perfect. I thought about different materials: …
Most creative people know the feeling: wanting to create something, but your mind is blank. In my case, I wanted to make more time for creativity, but I kept hitting that blank space. What to make, what to make, what to make? One day, I had enough. After spending a weekend with my very creative …
