:: Shopping guide Berlin Part III Fabric shops!! ::

Fabric shops in Berlin
I bought cool owl fabric at Frau Tulp. They sell very cute fabrics and sewing supplys. If I had more money I would have bought all fabrics ;) hehe. They also have an online shop.

At Me and My mum at the marienburgerstrasse you will find everything for your little one. Toys, gifts, clothes and also cute fabrics to make the loveliest things!

A few doors ahead you will find 'Die Schatzinsel' With kids toys, wooden games, great gifts and other cute stuff and fabrics.

Twinkle at the kollwizstrasse 52 sells homeware, fabric and other things. I love this shop!

:: Shopping guide Berlin Part II::

Other places we've visited in Berlin were:
FleaMarket in Mauerpark on sundays.
Every sunday there is a flea market were you can find vintage, handmade, food and other things. When we visited the market there was also playing a band called 'Rupert's Kitchen Orchestra'. Fun music!

Nearby the Mauerpark you will find lot's of nice shops and food places. Unfortunately most shops are closed on sunday.
We ate a delicious waffle at Kauf Dich Glucklich at the Oderbergerstraße 44.

One of the surprises were the baked potatoes from Bixels. Unfortunately only available on Mulackstrasse 38. I wish we had such a great place in NL. The potatoes are made available by Daniel Bixel.
See the menu. I had Beef — with tomatoes, olives, carrot apple salad, red onions, horse radish sauce. Love it!


In the neighbourhood Prenzlauer berg we talked with the owner of Supalife Kiosk. This is an art gallery on the Raumerstrasse 40. We talked about art and it's hard to live from your own art work. The store/gallery also has an online shop.

We've also visited the Sonycenter. Were we saw the exhibition called Storyboards from Hitchcock to Spielberg.
The Sonycenter is an amazing building. You will also find a cinema and we watched Rise of the planet of the apes is English ofcourse! haha

These are a few spots you have to see when visiting Berlin.
In the next post I also will show some fabric/wool and clothes stores.

:: Shopping guide Berlin Part I::

Berlin was amazing we saw, ate and shopped a lot!
At home I already searched for some cute shops to visit and so we did.

I will show you the shops and places we visited in Berlin in a few post because it is to much for one! haha.

The first day we walked through the Oranienburgerstrasse. We visited arthouse Tachelles wich is still open. This is a old building covered with graffiti. In this building are working different artist with different disciplines. You can visit their workspaces and buy work. It is a mixture between a gallery and a squatted house.
In this street you will also find United Loneliness. This is a label/shop that sells reproduces of Andreas Bartos work. I bought a cloud-paper-airplane t-shirt and love it!


Near Oranienburgerstrasse you will find Fräulein Herz in the Krausnickstrasse. This is a cool shop that sells nice fabrics and handmade bags. She was closed while I was in Berlin but you can also buy fabrics and other things at her online store.

After visiting some stores we got a bit hungry of course ;) Near our appartment at the Chausseestrasse we found a place called Ris-otto. Were you only can eat... Risotto! haha. It was very delicious and cheap! a big plate for only €6,50.

Part II is coming up!

:: NEW Camera and Trip to Berlin ::

NIEUW - NIEUW - NIEUW

Met trots laat ik mijn nieuwe camera aan jullie zien!
Het is een Canon EOS 1100D met een Canon EF 18-135 IS II lens.
Ik moet nog wel veel leren aangezien dit mijn eerste spiegelreflex camera is.



Komende week gaan mijn lief en ik een naar Berlijn!
Ik ben al een keer eerder in Berlijn geweest. Dit was toen ik nog op de Willem de Kooning academie zat. We moesten toen verschillende excursies organiseren en hadden daarom weinig tijd om zelf rond te kijken.
Dit ga ik deze keer inhalen. Er is nog zoveel te zien!

---------- ENGLISH ----------

NEW - NEW - NEW

I proudly present my new camera. It's a Canon EOS 1100D with an EF 18-135 IS II lens.
I still need to learn how to use this camera because it's my first reflex camera.

Next week my love and I are going to visit Berlin! I've already been there when I was in college but now I have time to visit things I missed the first time.

:: Back from vacation and back to MadeByMo ::

Yes! I am back from my vacation to Croatia and it was very lovely!!
We've seen a lot, ate nice meals, relaxed, swam, chilled, trained, wrote, drew, crocheted, photographed, slept and enjoyed our vacation.

You can see more pictures in my flickr set Croatia.

Now I go on with the crafty stuff ;)

BazarBizar has opened a Minishop on de Meent 133 in Rotterdam the Netherlands for six weeks.
Some items of MadeByMo are available in the shop and also cool illustrations, hand printed t-shirts, buttons, bags and other handmade products.

Pictures soon!

Bye bye for now.

Going to Antwerp and shop till you drop

The first great thing I did in 2010 was going shopping in Antwerp with my best friend Merie. (girl in red jacket)
We did this very often a few years ago so we decided to go this year again. It was the first day of the 'Solden'. So it was very crowded!
We had a very nice lunch meal and shopped till we dropped ;)
I came home with a new winterjacket by 'Mazine', two t-shirts by Paul Frank (love it), new sneakers by 'kustom', a new wallet by 'Roxy' and a very cool iron on illustrations by Mike Perry

Soon I will buy some t-shirts and tank tops and decorate them with these cool illustrations
