Christmas inspiration,

Every year I want to make a new chrismas ornament,
a few years ago I made these,



But these last two years I somehow didn't. Maybe to busy with other creativities...
But now I signed in for the Christmas ornament swap (see the sidebar) and I want to be full inspired with new ideas!



So I searched all Marie-claire christmas editions and put them on the kitchentable!
And if that's not enough I also bought the new country home.



I already spotted this nice page with cards,



Guess I'll be moving around the kitchen table today..
And get Christmas inspiration!

What's in the small box?

Time for a new 'what's in the box'!




I have these 3 cute boxes and I want to show what's in the smallest one,



As a kid I loved to punnik (don't know if I say it right in English?)
The one with the brown thread on his head used to be mine.. I think.



I love how they seem to talk to each other.
(lol, guess it doesn't make any sence at all)


Groetjes,

A good day!

Yes, saterday was a real good day.

These lovely fabrics were brought by the postman,



I won these beautifull fabrics in the giveaway on Quilt it & dotty's blog!



Aren't they lovely? Thank you so much Dorry!

I have been in search for a 'grand foular' to cover an old chair.... or the other option... a new chair. (but in these tight financial times times I rather wanted the first option)

And yesterday I found this quilt and two pillows for a nice price,



They are just what this cosy corner needed! I know, I can hear a lot of you thinking.. 'she should have made it herself' ... you are right ofcourse, But sometimes buying (and the quick result) can be satisfying.

And to make the atmosphere complete I bought new candle's and this plant



So yesterday evening, while we were all home, close by the fire, candle burning and drinking some hot coco, I was thinking 'This was a good day'!

Today we have a sunny sonday so another good day has started!

wish you all a good day too,

Groetjes

Matching quilt,

Just couldn't resist to make another matching quilt (je) for this bag.




Have a good friday!

groetjes,

Kitchen table,

It sure is drippy wet and cold weather, a real autumn day!



So the ideal day, after 3 working days, to take a slow start... read the paper, do some stitchery and blogging.



The best place for all this is the kitchentable! Hiep hiep hoera for the kitchentable!

Here are a few new houses, finished at the kitchentable.



Now I do hope it'll stop raining some time today.. do need to do some shopping and detach myself from the kitchen table.

Groetjes

Windmill block,

Remember this?



from a post in september?

This block has been laying around here and there in my crafting area waiting to become a pillow or a quilt or... I don't know what.

Until yesterday

When I just knew the right perpose for this block,

A new Dutch windmill bag!



I searched all the fabrics and locked myself up in the my crafting room and started sewing. This the result.




Do you like it?

Wel I can't stay in my craftingroom so now it's time to focus on the household and family area... it is weekend after all!

And do not want to have grumpy people around me.

So have a good weekend everyone

More houses,

Yes, now I really am in real estate,



In this street I put up two houses for sale,



One with lovely blue frames and a sweet front garden with pink flowers.



And the one with the dark purple frames, the lovely garden with red flowers and a small blue postbox!

So if you are in search of a new home.... come and visit my street!



Groetjes

For someone special,

Hi everyone, I have been sewing and quilting and now it's finished!



It is a gift for a very special person, she's very creative, a great story teller, a very generous person and has a great blog!
She gave me the fabrics to make the large quilt!




And from the very last scraps I made a few pincushions,



Dear Elizabeth this miniquilt is comming your way (I hope you like it).

Groetjes,

Little quilt,

With the scraps from my last quilt I'm making a little quilt,



And with all the kids being out at the moment... I'm going to use my time sewing this little quilt! Hope to show the result soon!

Enjoy your sunday!

Finished quilt

This afternoon I finished this quilt,



I love to handquilt, here the backside..



The quilt is great in the kitchen or on top of the other quilts,



Now I do have some scrabs left... hope I can make a mini quilt out of it!
