I love to have flowers and plants in house, but for some reason I have have more flowers and plants in house during spring. Which sounds a bit strange while writing it because it makes your home so much nices and alive during winter. So this is also a memo to myself :).</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Dutch we have a saying "Maart roert zijn staart", this means that during the month of March the weather can go into all directions! One week it can be cold, rainy and dark and the next week it can be warm with lots of sun! This year March started very very good. Last weekend we had the best weekend since a long time, clear blue sky and lots of sun. </span><br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a while but it took some time for me to get my inspiration back. And while I have been absent I haven't been doing nothing. I have actually been busy with projects I really want to share with you. To be honest I do not expect to be blogging on a regular basis, but only when I really feel like it and when I want to share my idea's/thought and projects with you. Hopefully that is okay....</span></div>

DIY<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last Wednesday my little niece (the cutes niece ever) celebrated het <b><span style="color: magenta;">first birthday</span></b>!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So if you combine the 2 words you know what being a Blog Angel is all about! It is about helping an other blogger by:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Commenting on posts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Button exchange</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Helping with the lay out </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Guest posting</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Writing a post about them</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Following them on other social media platforms</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- etc, anything you can think of will work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this month I haven't been the ultimate blog angel.... But luckily the blog I am trying to help is a blog that already has all the features and qualities of being a great blog! So I feel there is not much I can add.... But this blog does give back by inspiring me! So being a blog angel is not only about helping someone else it is also a great way to get new inspiration and to make new friends!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of the month I can reveal to you which blog I am talking about, but I will try to find some way to end this edition with a special something. Not quite sure what it will be... but I am working on it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So are you ready for my masterpiece?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Well before you get all excited I must admit one thing... well actually two things...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1) I spent € 10 instead of $ 10... so basically I overspent € 3....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2) My dad helped me.... well actually he made the whole thing.... It went like this: I brought the knobs to my parents to show my plan and to ask how to do it and if I could use his drill. So I decided to leave my stuff at my parents for when I would come back to make it. And before I knew it my dad finished the whole project....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To be honest I am gald he did, because it looks amazing and perfectly finished! A real masterpiece if you ask me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is a little preview for this months Craft Challenge! I already have to admit that I didn't really follow the rules on this one.... The idea is that you make something amazing for less than <b>$10</b>... But mine is <b>€10</b>... which looks the same.... but of course this is like €7! So I went slightly over budget, but as you might know I am <u><b><span style="color: purple;">no </span></b></u><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><u><b><span style="color: purple;">mathematician</span></b></u> (my boyfriend will be glad to confirm this to you) so what else can you expect.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since the running season is starting again I will mainly be focusing on <b>spring</b> and <b>summer gear</b>. I feel that most people run more in the spring and summer than they do in the winter. Which is <u><b>A Okay</b></u> with me! I try to run all year round but once it gets dark at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and it weather is getting colder and wetter I do have the tendency to <u>stay inside</u> where it is nice and warm... So during this period my running is mainly limited to the weekends, during the day... when it is light... and dry (hopefully)... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ok back to the running essentials, before we start I must make clear that the following is only based on my own <b>opinion</b> and has nothing to do with facts & figures nor am I getting to paid by any company to publish this (I wish I was though).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1). </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all need some support</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Before you start you (and with you I mean all my female readers) need to have a good support system for the 'girls'. A good sports bra is essential! You need to get one that is suited for heavy sports. Most of the labels show the kind of support a sports bra gives. Make sure you try it on first to make sure it is not too tight and fits you well.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2). Stay warm - Keep cool</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So here where I live (the land of the Dutch) the <u>weather changes</u> continuously. One day it can be 14 degrees Celsius and the next day it can be -1 degrees! </span><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This makes it difficult to dress in a proper way. You can either wear too many clothes, too warm clothes of not enough clothes which result in not getting warm at all! An example, this week we had this nasty North-East wind which was freakishly cold! But the sun was shinning, and if you were out of the wind it was actually really nice and spring was finally in the air! But when running the wind keeps on changing so what to wear..... Well in these cases I can only <b>suggest 1 item</b>... This amazing running jacket with sleeves you can take off!</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And maybe the best thing about this jacket is that it has this pocket at the back which I always use to put the sleeves in. So when I am running and I am hot I just zip of the sleeves and put them in my <u>pocket</u>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>3). Show off those legs!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you really want to be a part of the running culture you <b>have to</b> show off your legs! A true runner runs in shorts as soon as the temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius. Of course there are all sorts of running pants, I prefer to have a short and a capri. The short of course for the summer and a capri for the days you are not quite sure what to wear... It is like an<b> in between </b>pants.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>4). To-shirt or not To-shirt</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Again it all comes down to the weather and the performance. A long sleeve if perfect for the winter, a t-shirt for in between and a thin breathable top for the summer. But I think the most important thing are <b>layers</b>. Pretend that you are in San Francisco where the mornings can be chilly due to the fog that rolles in from the ocean but in the afternoon it is all nice and warm. The same goes with running. When you start you will be chilly or maybe even cold. But once you hit the 5K your <u>body</u> will become warm and before you know it you will be sweating like a monkey. Therefore it is always best not to dress to warm. And make sure you have something <b>warm and dry</b> that you can put on after your run. This to prevent you from getting cold and even sick. So here are a few of my favorite running shirts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- I really need to get my ice skates sharpened! I tell myself that every year but for some reason I keep forgetting each year to do it. Until it is ice skating time of course! But by then it is too late because you have to wait for like 2 weeks before it can be done due to the large amount of skates that need to be sharpened.... Pfff mental note to myself, must not forget to do this....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I like to make easy, simple things that basically everybody can make without spending too much money.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For this challenge all you need is a basic t-shirt, I bought mine for only € 2.99 at Zeeman. The shirt is very affordable and also very comfortable! The fabric panel I used was something I had as a left over from last season.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeQ-3sP0PCVWZRHdbNbvPdvBaYl6RZZlNA7R_sUDkhyphenhyphenICaV_ovVrdffr9z0E7x9l7SINIvUxnBMjG0Ay0Q9MN2Y73nznJJxqCVxQH-t5CDfy_lH84tVDNqUDgDzjZVVZkpULp4FmHH3g/s1600/DSC02899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFeQ-3sP0PCVWZRHdbNbvPdvBaYl6RZZlNA7R_sUDkhyphenhyphenICaV_ovVrdffr9z0E7x9l7SINIvUxnBMjG0Ay0Q9MN2Y73nznJJxqCVxQH-t5CDfy_lH84tVDNqUDgDzjZVVZkpULp4FmHH3g/s640/DSC02899.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You just need to cut the panel in line with the shirt, but keep in mind you need to stretch the bottom of the shirt all the way out. This is the width of the panel you will need, then you just cut a square. You first finish of the top part of the panel with a small zig-zag stitch or an over-lock stitch. Then you crinkle/wrinkle the top part about 5 cm below the top. Once you have done this you can stitch the sides to the shirt and finally the bottom. It is pretty easy but you do need a sewing machine...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And here is the result!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wanted to post a picture of me wearing the shirt with a cute outfit, but my boyfriend is in Sweden for a conference so there is no one to take cute pictures. But once I have cool pics I will be sure to post and share them with you!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Enjoy the rest of your weekend! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As you can see for March we have to make something cool to wear. It can be anything! I started my project but since it is not yet ready I decided to post a little teaser so you can get an idea of what I am making.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What you will need is a simple t-shirt and some nice, colorful, bold printed fabric.</span><br />

I have been so busy that I just could not find the time and energy to write new posts and let you know what's going on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2 weeks ago I started a new job. And with a new job come a lot of new impressions, new people to get to know and new tasks I have to make my own. So you can imagine I was totally worn out every evening after I came home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Besides this I also had some busy weekends all packed with fun stuff to do! The 2 most important things were my visit to the <a href="http://www.ijhallen.nl/index.php">IJhallen</a> in Amsterdam with my friend Amy from <a href="http://amysfashionscrapbook.blogspot.nl/">Amy's Fashion Scrapbook</a>. This is like basically a huge monthly flee market mainly indoor. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The reason went there is because a lot of people go there to sell old clothes, and we needed to investigate the location to see if it would be something for us to sell our clothes.... and believe me when I say we have loads of clothes to sell!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And last weekend I went to the <a href="http://www.stoffenspektakel.nl/home">Stoffenspektakel</a> with my mother in law. And no this is not a typing error... I actually get along very well with my mother in law! She is the person that inspired me to start making my own clothes and other DIY stuff. The Stoffenspektakel is a yearly indoor market where they sell all sorts of fabrics and <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">fournitures. And with all sorts of fabrics I really mean all sort of fabrics, from affordable to the real A-brand fabrics (Chanel, Armani) and also real leather and fur.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1) which one do you like best?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2) any ideas as to what I should make? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once I have finished an item I will be sure to put them online so you can be the judge of the end result.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is already March! Can you believe it? <span style="color: purple;"><b>Spring</b></span> is just around the corner and it is really time to start thinking about what to do for the <span style="background-color: white;"><b><span style="color: purple;">summer holidays</span></b></span>! So was thinking to start the month with another round of <b><span style="color: purple;">"Swirling"</span></b> qoutes. </span></div>

It is so easy to collect things because they are tangible. And what if our memory every fails us, can we still fall back on these moments we collected and stored in our brain? On the other hand what are things if you can't enjoy the moments and live in the "now"?</span></span></td></tr>

Do you want to share your amazing stories with other bloggers? Do you want some support with your blog? </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><b> </b></i>If your answer to all these questions is <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">YES</span></span></span> </b></span></span>you are the perfect <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><u>Blog Angel Candidate</u></span></span></b>!!! Because this is what being a Blog Angel about!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.craftbotic.com/" target="_blank" title="CraftboticBlogAngel"><img alt="CraftboticBlogAngel" src="http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg568/CraftboticQ/BlogAngels200_zps65ccf18f.jpg" style="border: none;" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was the first Blog Angel round for 2013 and we had to choose our blog. So I decided to go for <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Anja</span></b></span> from <a href="http://cocalores.blogspot.nl/">Cocalores</a>. Besides being an amazing blogger she has also become my German Blog Friend which is amazing! Oh and she also loves <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>PINK</b></span></span></span> so what what's not to like?!</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://cocalores.blogspot.com/" title="Cocalores"><img alt="Cocalores" src="http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii624/cocalores/button_Juli2012_250_150.jpg" style="border: none;" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So what did I do to help her out:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- I started following her on<a href="http://pinterest.com/cocalores/"> Pinterest</a>, and since I really loved a lot of her Pins I made a post about her <span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span> boards hoping she would get more Pinterest followers. You can read the post <a href="http://swirlingawayeveryday.blogspot.nl/2013/02/pinterst-through-eyes-of-coca-lores.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Of course I did the regular commenting, since I already was a daily reader of her blog I had hoped that this wouldn't raise too much <span style="color: blue;">suspicion</span> about me being her Angel.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- Beside being a Blog Angel I am also participating in the <a href="http://www.craftbotic.com/2013/02/craft-challenge-2013-link-up-your.html">Craft Challenge 2013</a> and so is Anja! So I also wrote a post on her amazing February <span style="color: blue;">DIY project</span> in which she transformed a basic Ikea dresser (I have the very same dresser) into something special. You can read about it <a href="http://swirlingawayeveryday.blogspot.nl/2013/02/diy-dresser-transformation.html">here</a> and <a href="http://cocalores.blogspot.de/2013/02/how-to-turn-boring-dresser-into-cute.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">- We also had great email <span style="color: blue;">conversations</span> about our blogs and things we read! Which is always nice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My <span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">goals</span></b></span> for her was to attract some <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>new readers</b></span></span> and <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">followers on Pinterest</span></b></span>, and I hope I made that happen. But besides helping her I also gained a great <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>friend</b></span></span> which being a Blog Angel is all about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Finally I can show you my Craft Challenge for February! I decided to re-purpose a crate which was a beer gift package. Since it just simple rough wood, it was pretty simple to paint it, pimp it and turn it into a flower basket!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's start by showing you the before picture and what I used to transform it into something else.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You will also need paint, good white paint as a base coat and some colored paint. I used Acrylic paint (the cheapest I could find). I thought I would also need nails and a hammer to fasten the plastic<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>lining but instead I used (wood) glue.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Make sure to apply enough white base paint, I had to paint the crate 3x to get it really white. Then apply some stripes if you want to, you can also add polka dots or anything you want really... When painting stripes make sure you use tape to get nice straight stripes. And wait w<span style="font-size: small;">ith taking of the tape until the paint i<span style="font-size: small;">s reall<span style="font-size: small;">y <span style="font-size: small;">dry.</span></span></span></span></span></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you like a <b>challenge</b> you should definitely join the <a href="http://www.craftbotic.com/2013/01/craft-challenge-2013-very-pj-yarn.html"><b>Craft Challenge 2013 </b></a>hosted by Rosie from Craftbotic.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to <b>participate</b> because all the challenges are free for interpretation and require creativity! They do not only require creativity because you have to come up with something <b>awesome</b> every month, but also because the participants make the most <b>amazing</b> things!!! My <a href="http://swirlingawayeveryday.blogspot.nl/2013/01/2013-craftbotic-challenge.html"><b>January challenge</b></a> was pretty awesome I thought... until I saw all the creations of the other participants. The same goes for this months challenge. I <b>haven't started</b> mine yet but the plan and materials are on site! But when I saw the below item... I am starting to <b>doubt</b> my idea... It is probably way too simple... But I will just go with it and maybe I will <b>amaze</b> myself and all my readers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway here is the item I am <u><span style="color: red;"><b>loving at the moment</b></span></u> the most! It is pretty amazing and I also think it is <b>affordable</b> and <b>easy</b> to do.</span><br />

Why would I say this to myself? Well I have a whole drawer with accessories, and it is about time I wear all the items I already have more often so basically there is absolutely no need buy new items (again and again). But who can resist a good discount?! I for sure can't! So I said I wouldn't buy any more accessories.... but I did! But at least it wasn't a New Years Resolution!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is what I bought at the final sale on </span><a href="http://www.fashionology.nl/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fashionology</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, it was a great bargain because all items had already been reduced and on top of that you would get a 50% discount! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I also found some really cool items on sale at Zara..... and again I wouldn't.... but I did! I bought this super cool '20 inspired necklace and spike bracelet. I am not sure if neon is still in for SS13 but if not I can always take the ribbon off right?</span></div>
