Sunday Spotlight

 

Hello my lovely Teddy Bo friends

It´s time for another Sunday Spotlight and today we showcase the adorable creations of Marijke

   

That is what Marijke tell us about herself and her creativity

 

my name is marijke van der heiden -engering
my age is 58  and live in a town names Schiedam in the Netherlands
married to mari  for 38 years now and still very happy together , well I am, I think he is too hahahaha

 

we have two wonderfull kids who both have their own lifes now, a son who is married and has two children a boy and a girl and a daughter who lives with her boyfriend for a few years now ( no wedding plans hahaha)

 

in our house are two cats , Gizmo and Sammie, my biggest fans if I am in my hobby room , love to help me with the ribbons and pieces of paper hahaha

I really got addicted to scrapping  , it all happened a few years ago when my sister was here for a sad reason, our father had died and when she stayed here in our house for a few of days she told me all about scrapbooking and that was the beginning of it all

 

before that I already had made all kinds of cards but also made dolls and did a lot of embroidering specially the american patterns, the angels, now that I think of it  just as far as I can remember I always made things from kindergarten till now, even have been a hairdresser for several years way back in the past so that was also working with my hands creating things ;0)

 

my hobby is like therapy for me , have had some health problems  in 2003 nd in 2008 ( doing very fine now ) but it kept me going , I am not a person that can sit still reading books my hands have to be working , doing and making things  so when I had the two strokes my hobby  kept me going working on my hand nd head with a lot of help of the therapist and now everything is back to normal again, for a few years now to be honest, thats why I Love angels they were watching over me both times

 

can't imagine a life without my hobby

 

greetings from the netherlands
