Today I finished the first set of my new collection.
This sexy set is called 'Gallia Queen' and features a underwired non-padded bra and a matching low rise bikini. Both items are for sale in my online shop as from today.

From the first episode of Mad Men I was hooked. No only for the great story lines, but also because it is just beautiful to look at: the clothes, decors, the way it's filmed,...

For those who don't know Mad Men yet. Here's what its about.

"Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell.

The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper, the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels.

The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values."

Especially this aspect of the series is very interesting to see. The relationship between men and women is so different these days, that it's almost too hard to believe how it was in the 60's. So much has changed in so little time.

In Belgium season 2 of Mad Men is now running on Prime. I hope it will run on the commercial or public tv-channels as well, so more people can see this amazing tv-show.

I wanted a new logo for Queen B. for some time, but didn't know where to start. I'm not a graphic designer, so I used Etsy's Alchemy to help me find someone to design it for me. I got loads of offers, but finally went for Heather Lynn. She has made several logo's for me to choose from and this is the one I picked out. Isn't it just perfect? :)

I love the European Street Team! I've been a member of this group of Etsy sellers since it was founded and it's been amazing meeting so many crafty people from all over Europe.
I was tagged by the talented MirthQuake and LeinaNeima. Being tagged means sharing 7 random facts about yourself and linking to your taggers.

Well, here's the dirt...

1. I'm a hermit. I rarely go outside, because I'm rather inside in my sewing studio...
2. I want a dog, so I would be forced to go outside every day :) I'm dreaming of buying a brown labrador and calling her Mira.
3. My husband says I snore. I won't believe it until he can show some proof!
4. I'm addicted to sewing. I really can't stop thinking about all the things I want to make.
5. I have 3 tattoos: a big one on my back, a small one on my tummy and one on my thumb (yes my THUMB!)
6. I've been wearing a thumb ring for 15 years to hide the tattoo on my thumb :)
7. I'm easily hooked on games. I've been hooked on Anno 1701, The Sims, Xplorers, ... and these days I can't stop playing Word Challenge on Facebook.

These talented people will be my tag-victims:

• Katsai (stunning clothing)
• Ira Grant (great handbag)

Yay! I'm the featured member on Burdastyle.com this week.

For those of you who don't know Burdastyle: it's a website for sewers from all over the world where you can download great patterns, upload your own patterns, learn new sewing tricks, post your own creations, comment on other's creations, ... In short: open source sewing at its best!


I've been a member since August 2007 and love it there. I have seen the website grow and grow with patterns and members and it keeps getting better. Check it out and tell me what you think :)

My latest creation, made in a beautiful black lace and stretch satin: a halter teddie with a brazilian cut bottom. I added rhinestones in the middle to give it an extra glam touch. For sale in my online shop.

I often get questions from women who want to know their EU-bra size. Especially in Belgium bra sizes can sometimes be confusing because we use 2 bra sizing standards. Most lingerie stores in the French part of Belgium and Brussels use the French sizes. In Flanders they mostly use the EU-sizing, like they do in the Netherlands. The difference: 15 cm... !

So for buying a bra online it's imperative to know what your bra size is in f.i. the US or France. To help you out: here's a chart with almost every bra size and its counterparts.

I've always loved lace. Not only in lingerie, but also in outerwear. There are so many different kinds of laces but I always tend to fall for the simple, yet delicate, sexy and feminine black kind.

I've bought a beautiful black lace with a circular design recently and made these:
