A great easter swap

Look who's comming to live with us!



She came yesterday! Isn't she a beauty, with her shoes, hat, dress, her beautifull long ears and look at the basket she's holding! I love it. Thank you Jane !



Jane also spoiled us with this self made card, chocolat and stickers!

And of course, now I can show you what I made for Jane,



I made this pink handpuppet Bunny that Jane called Flopsy,



And the easter bunny cards.



Ones again this was a great swap to participate, Thank you Lucy for organizing!

I'm back

Now, After spending a long week under this quilt.



and using not much else then tea and this,



It's about time to make a new post.
When you'r ill, time goes by while you are sleeping and resting. You know it, but still there are so many things you think you can do... but nothing happens.
Hands, body and head just can't do it. I think that was the hard part off being ill.
Anyway as soon as I was a little better There was the Easter Bunny Swap for Jane that had to be finished and send...

I will show you a little peek now and more when she received it.



And I started a new spring- bag! It's not finished jet but I'll show it anyway....





I think it looks fresh and cool, don't you?

With the easter weekend comming up I'm longing for the sun, warmth and lovely flowers!



As you can see, I have taken care off the flowers! The rest is not in my hands...
Happy easter days Everyone

The continuation of my matroushka quiltje

Besides working, doing all the usual house keeping and re-organizing my sewing-room (which was verry necessary) I worked on my little matroushka quilt and made these.....


Three in a row,


Twin sisters,


Mam with her two rascal kids,


Mamie and her tiny, big, girl,


We are best friends,


Baby inside.

The next one are schoolkids,


I'm planning to make 12 or 16 little square blocks, so there will be more...
But first I'm going to work on my easter-bunny-swap!

Have a good week everyone.

What's in a box: 3

Well, I want to make a new bag, but somehow I can't get inspired to do it.
So therefore the next 'what's in a box'!



No this is not a box whit letters...it was...



For a while I use it to put the sampler in which I'm working on at the moment. (I must confess there are more boxes with unfinished samplers)



For each child I wanted to make a sampler. The two samplers for the oldest are hanging in our living for years. But the last one....
Anyway I promissed to have it finished before he's grown up and living on his own.



Instead of making a new bag or working at this sampler, I'm handsewing this..



and this...



to make a little new matroushka applique quilt. So that is another project to finish.
