Sewing

I don't want to make my blog into a 'cat blog' .. but our kitten 'bear' discovered a new area in the house...

My sewing room!!



Perhaps he has creative aspirations...
I'll let you know...
until now he makes a lot of rubbish from all ribbons and bands!

Meanwhile I almost finished my apron for the apron swap!



I think it is turnig out nice... and I hope Sarah is going to like it.

For now

groetjes

Blogging again

Hello again,
We had a two week vacation by the sea. It was great!
But now it's time to start catching up with blogging and I'm far behind reading all your lovely blogs, and please forgive me for not answering your comments.



We took our cat 'Bear' allong with us and he did great!
He is growing real fast and is being naughty and cute at the same time.



Today I finally have a little time to work on the apron swap!



Here is a little fabric peek....
My lovely swappartner is the hostess Sarah from Red Gingham

This is it for today,
I leave you with some fresh tulips and hope to be back with you in a few days!



Groetjes,

Brr,

We are having a few cold spring days here.
But the postman brought us,
Corry and me this heartwarming gift,



Karina
made for each of us this sweet embroidered heart.
And also a beautiful printed linnen from her country,



Dear Karina thank you so much!

Bought these new fabrics for another little Dutch quilt.



Although I better finish this one first!




Wish you all a lovely warm day,

May,

A new spring month,



May, so a new page on the 'Dutch costume' calander.



And time to show the new tree picture!



can you believe the changes that happened these last few weeks!
The tree is full with fresh new leaves. The differences are enormous!



With the kids in school we have been making surprises for mothersday.
This year we made these cute cup cakes!



Make your own playdough and start!

Messengerbag, My best horse!

Just finished,



Just in time,



Just before a busy weekend,



No sewing this weekend, it's time to enjoy the sun and
home made pizza!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Groetjes,

Happy day,

Yes it is a happy day becouse,

The doctor gave me a new medicine for my 'spring' allergies.
So today I finally have normal looking eyes! Instead of walking around like I have been crying all day!



It's a happy day becouse I almost finished the horse bag,



I bought new magazines!



With great illustrations from Hanneke de Jager.



And Flow magazine is always filled with little gifts like this cuty,



My daughter is making our dinner, Pancakes in all kind of flavors.
So that gives me time to do some sewing!

Yes it is a happy day!
Hope you are having a happy day too!

groetjes,

Polkadot dress

Enjoy your day!

Sewing time,

I could not resist...
Although I'm rather busy...
Just had to enter this new swap Sarah, from Red Gingham is organizing



Go check it out if you also want to enter!

Today the weather is so great, we had our tea outsite!



And 'bear' (= beer in dutch)is taking his first steps outside!
(he's doing great with the leach)



My intention for today was to work on this new horse bag...



Oh well maybe I can find a little sewing time tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend,

3 Dutch houses bag,

The 3 old Dutch houses bag is finished



It'll be in the shop later this day.

I just could not resist showing this picture..



It is amazing what you can buy for your pet,
But a corn flakes box with a few wholes in it, is playing fun for houres!
(and it costs nothing)




Groetjes,
