Featured Member Interview
How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
Google, at the time. I joined because I found it great to meet kindred spirits and see and explore ideas.
What projects are you currently working on?
I have a stash of clothing, already cut, waiting to be finished. I have a cameo screaming for paper and cards. So everything!

What does your craft space look like?
I have recently taken up shop in our refurbished attic room, which acts as a perfect home for all my stuff. It was supposed to allow me to craft undisturbed, but no one minds all the stairs you have to climb up except me.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
My sewing machine, and my pair of scissors.
What do you craft along to?
I tend to put on music, but sometimes I enjoy the silence as well.

Favorite Craft
I enjoy working with fabrics and paper. I am by no means a professional and they are the most forgiving when mistreated. They also seem to be in my house all the time, so there is always a stock handy. I want to relaw when crafting, so I tend to go for something that is not too difficult and still looks great.
Maaike's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
Crochet. I have tried and tried again, but I cannot see the stitches properly and forget to count.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I would say anyone who has an idea that makes me want to take weeks of work and try it all!
Maaike's Favorite Projects
Since I'm tryong to be as eco as possible, without hurting myself in the process, I still have my golden oldies to go back to. The blush works every time, the stamps and records have been tried and tested multiple times. Inititally I was a one woman show, now I have three helpers more than eager to lend a hand.
