smoothie time!

Lately I'm addicted to smoothies: making and drinking! They're so easy to prepare and there seem to be endless possibilities. Yesterday I made a frozen banana-strawberry one for dessert, the one pictured above is made with pear, banana and celery. And it's even healthy too! :)

weekly happy stats

It's been a while, but they're back :) I chose some things of the last couple of weeks:

happy friends

Please welcome my little happy friends!

Sometimes you don't need much to make someone or yourself happy. Just look around you at all the little things! To make it even easier I made a bunch of 'happy friends'. Perfect to cheer someone up and very useful to keep your notes together too. I'll list them soon in my Etsy as a 'happy package' with one of my 'happy lists' I showed earlier. Pff, how much more happiness do you want? :) Now I'm off to make myself happy with a pear-banana-celery-smoothie!

must-see-monday : Enna

Enna is this weeks must-see-monday. I already 'found' this store some time ago, but forgot about it. How could I? Just look at these cute things:

forest wall decals

wooden pear brooch

happy easter!

Happy easter everyone!

The last weeks were so busy and I was too tired to even think of updating my blog, spending time on etsy, answering mails and making photos. I basically neglected everything and everyone. But I think I'm back now! I'm having a couple of days off and I tonight I slept for almost 11 hours! Guess I needed that :) Some mamutopia things I'm going to work on:The point is mamutopia needs a bit more of attention and I definitely need to spend more time online! We'll see....I have a full time job as well, so it's probably going to be hard.

I'll start tomorrow with a new must-see-monday, see you then!

sunday spring market

Yay, finally an update again!

After two weeks of preparing and glueing and painting and baking and worrying I packed all my mamutopia stuff to go to the Sunday Spring Market in Amsterdam.

It was my first market ever and I was so excited about having my own stall. I didn't really know what to expect, but everything turned out great. The weather was beautiful with lots of sun, people made nice comments about my products (of course there were also some stupid ones like 'I could make that myself!'), friends & family visiting and I sold pretty well, yay! The flyers and postcards were quickly gone too.

And to my surprise Maartje from Tizzalicious was suddenly standing in front of me! It's so strange to see someone you only 'know' from the internet in real life, but of course she was nice and we had a little chat :)

As you can see I also made some cookies and cupcakes! Just for fun (and to fill up the enormous space I had!) People really liked them, maybe I should start a mamutopia bakery?

Now back to normal life....sigh... I'm still in mamutopia land and very tired :)

must-see-monday : sunday spring market

A special must-see-monday today: the Sunday Spring Market!

If you’re in Amsterdam next Sunday you really should visit the Sunday Spring Market. This is a new art, fashion and design market in Westerpark with lots of handmade products, organic food, artwork and entertainment.

And yes, there is a mamutopia stall too! Last days I’ve been extremely busy to prepare myself and I hardly have time for anything else. It’s my first time at a market, so I’m really excited but nervous too. Luckily it’s only a couple of minutes from my home, so I can bring all my stuff by foot :) I still need some nice, sunny weather though, but the forecasts are looking good!

My to-do list seems to be endless, so I don’t know if I have time to update my blog this week. And my birthday is coming up too (almost forgot about that because of all the market stuff!), so there are also lots of cupcakes to bake and a little party to attend :)

If you’re planning to visit the market, please come by and say hi! I would love that!

crafty girls flyer

Recently I bought a spot on the Crafty Girls Cross Promotion Flyer.
Craftygirls is a Dutch website and every now and then they publish a flyer with some general information and advertisements of different 'crafty girls'. I really like how they turned out!
Now I need to spread the word, because I have a whole pile of flyers lying here :)

must-see-monday : night owl paper goods

Oh I love these wooden cards and notebooks by Night Owl Paper Goods!
There are so many different designs and you could also buy blank ones.
