And now, yes I know, there's a lot of catching up to do.
First there was my son's 13th birthday. (it's unbelievable, I remember his birth like it was yesterday.)
There were curtains I promised to sew for my niece her baby-room, from the left-overs I made her this,

Then there were two long weeks of vacation, we went away with the caravan to the coast. Finally there was the Sun, And it was so great! We Searched for shells,


walked on the beach, the kids were having fun with their skimboards, their was lots of reading and of course we had the greatest meals and bbq.
After these wonderfull weeks we threw ourselfs in school and working life again. And it's today I finnaly have the time to catch up with blogging live! The matroushka quilt is waiting all these weeks patiently to be finished, and it has to wait a litlle longer because I wanted to make these two summer-matroushka's,

(I'm sorry but I just cant get enough of matroushka's) I love their bright colours!
And talking about bright colours, look what my mother made!

She took some bright coloured fabrics from her famous attic and sew all little fabrics together and made this storage bag. Isn't it a beauty!
Well, there is more to show and tell but I have to go now.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Glad to see you’re back and doing well!
ReplyDeleteYou sure inherited your mum’s skills and talent to work with vibrant colours! Lovely!
A belated happy birthday to your 13 year old!
Your mother's storage bag is wonderful and your matrouschka's are fabtastic (as always!). Glad you're back, it sounds like you had a great holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteLeuk dat we je hier weer eens zien, al begrijp ik natuurlijk best dat je ook van het mooie weer wilde genieten. Ik moest nog aan je denken...toen ik bij de Hema was. Ik heb daar zo'n Matrushka applicatie gekocht en een hanger (te duur, maar onweerstaanbaar). Ik zag dat je ook klant bent bij de Hema dus je hebt het vast al gezien, maar ik wilde je er toch even op wijzen! Leuke dingen weer in je blog, je hebt het idd van geen vreemde! Fijn weekend, geniet weer van het mooie weer!
ReplyDeleteGlad your back after a nice break.

ReplyDeleteYour matroushkas are absolutely adorable! And such a talented mom. I love the colors in both.
ReplyDeleteAch, soms heb je even wat minder tijd/zin om te bloggen. Geeft niets toch?
ReplyDeleteMaar leuk dat je weer zoveel mooie dingen laat zien. Ik word heel vrolijk van al dat moois. De opbergzak van je moeder is ook prachtig.
Welcome back! Such happy colours, which we like so much. I do!
ReplyDeletewaw! ik zou wel eens willen rondsnuffelen op die zolder van je moeder. Wat een fantastische stoffen en wat geweldig dat ze dit voor je gemaakt heeft.
ReplyDeleteDaar kan ze een handeltje mee beginnen: kent ze Etsy al?
Die opbergzak van je moeder is super. Heel erg mooi gemaakt.
