All items c/o Tchibo "Uhhhm, what?? Really? Are you kidding?"
This was what I was thinking a few days ago while I was checking my e-mail inbox. I received a mail from a trainee student of corporate communications from
Tchibo, a German company that sells coffee, clothes, housewares and many other things, depending on their current campaign. This lady told me that they noticed me because of my beautiful blog and that there was going to be a new campaign about crafts and DIY and then she asked me if they could send me a package with some of their new products to test them and that it would be nice if I could report about my crafting experiences with their new tools and materials.
Oh my gosh, I was so excited, because this is the first time a huge company has been approaching me and asked me to promote their wares. I was so flattered and I immediately agreed! :)
On Saturday I received a huuuge package with lots of tools and supplies. They sent me colorful cardboards, ironing foil, a precision cutter (I forgot to include it in the photo :)), a circle cutter (my favourite item!), a set with textile colors and patterns, a set for making jewellery and an embossing set. <3
When I opened the package, I immediately thought about what to create with all these things and I instantly had many ideas, I'm gonna show you the first project in the following post. :)
Wow, I still have difficulties realizing how my little business has developed and that more and more people are contacting me who want to talk about sponsorships or possible blog features.
I'm glad that I have been asked to test new craft supplies, because this is sooo much fun and I love trying out something new. :)
Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for what I will do with my new toys. :)

Hello!! :) Yayyy, good news, today you can find one of my DIY projects on the German DaWanda Blog (for those of you who don't know DaWanda, it's similar to etsy, it's an online marketplace for everything handmade). :) I have been invited to share my tutorial for how to stamp totes with natural materials, because on DaWanda there's the 'family month', a month full of projects for children and parents. :)
Good morning everyone! :) I just wanted to quickly share a link, because lovely Nora of A Red Apple has recently invited me for an interview on her blog. :) This interview is about me, my blog, my shop and how my little independent business has developed. :) It's in German, but you can use the translator in her sidebar and also make sure to check out the rest of her blog, she always shares pretty things that inspire her, makes the loveliest chains of lights and her crocheting skills are awesome. :)
Hello! :) I recently received a message on DaWanda in which the editor in chief of an online Pin Up fashion magazine told me how much she liked my shop and asked me if I would like to provide a handmade item for her magazine's 'Must Have of the Week' feature. :)
Dear readers, happy Saturday! Today lovely Heidi is featuring me in her blog love edition on her blog I'm With Leia. Go and say hello, she's from Denmark and has a pretty blog where she posts about her family life and her cute baby, she shows her awesome knitting skills or shares links to pretty items she finds on the Internet. We got to know each other through Indie Biz, just like I got to know some other awesome ladies!
Dear readers, lovely Sindy of Ms. Fisher goes Handmade has invited me to share a guest post for her birthday week on her blog. :) There you can see my camera case tutorial (for those who don't understand German, you can find the English version on my own blog) and lots of other lovely DIY ideas by other creative bloggers. Most posts are self-explanatory or you only need the photos to understand the tutorial, so it's no problem if you only speak English. :)
Dear readers, today's a lucky day! :) I've been selling some items on DaWanda and then I received an e-mail that me and my blog got the title 'Bastelwunder' (= 'Crafting Wonder')! :) There's a German site which collects links to inspirational blogs and aims to provide a great collection of sites which are worth reading and have to do with crafting and DIY.
