A most enjoyable time...

... was had at the Create 'n Date event in Amsterdam last Sunday.  The event, organised by Maaike of the beautiful blog CreJJtion, was a great success.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite my non existent Dutch language skills.

Maaike (in yellow) from CreJJition, and from the left Saskia from Haakgarens bij Saar & Mien, Claire from Haken en meer and Annemarie from annemarieshaakblog.blogspot.nl.  Gorgeous ladies who all make beautiful creations.  If you visit their blogs you can find the tutorials for the lovely items we made at the event.

I love those aprons worn by Saskia and Claire
There was quite a crowd at this event - 40+ ladies, nattering and hooking away, stirring up curiosity from passers-by.  After all, we did take over most of the pavement!

We all had our own name tags which we had made ourselves from a mini kit Maaike sent out before the event so that we could get creating well ahead.

We all came away with a fabulous fabric bag made by CreJJition and filled with goodies.

We also enjoyed  a scrumptious lunch, cake and endless amounts of tea and coffee.  To top it all off sunshine accompanied us throughout the day.

Thank you again Maaike, Saskia, Claire and Annemarie.  I had a fabulous time and hope to attend another Create 'n Date soon.

  2. A Create 'n Date no 2 would be a great idea. Perhaps there will be a chance to talk to eachother. We have shaken hands, but after that we got "seperated, both sitting on other tables.
    Indeed it was a lovely day!
    Best regards,
