Egg business and matroushka swap

As some of you know, we have three chicken. They belong to my youngest 9 year old son.
They are very tame and they lay the best eggs ever!
My son takes very good care of the chicken, he cuddles them. (we, the parents, feed and clean.) Nothing strange so far…
But today we (me and the other two kids) wanted to make a omelette, we opened the fridge to fetch the eggs…….mmm…..where did they go?



Geuss what…. There’s a new egg store! And it’s located on our address!
Yes, our youngest is in business, making big money!



And leaving me with his angry brother and sister!
Kids, aren’t they just a lot of fun!

Now look what Michelle made me in the Russian doll swap!





Aren't they sweetest ever! Thank you Michelle! This swap was great to participate!
Thank you katy for organizing it!
Swaps are so exciting.

Matroushka addiction?

This is what I made for Michelle from Gingham world for the Russian doll swap....



I made her a matroushka magazine bag.
And it was so much fun to make this matroushka bag... I couldn't stop and had to make more...



I made a bag for a friend and put the other one in the shop.

Amsterdam/ bags

Amsterdam,I love it!
As I said in my last post my doughter,DH and I went to the big city. We spoiled our doughter with a lot of shopping, new clothes, a visit to Rembrandts paintings (The nightwatch), a lunch in Café American, walkes through the canalstreets, a great dinner and a lot of personal attention!(we all enjoyded so much)
And very 'accidental' we stopped by the cutest shops, an look what I found there;



I bought this funny Dutch couple in a litlle paper shop.



They have found a great spot on the shelf!

And of course we couldend just walk by the quiltshop Den Haan & Wagenmakers,



Old Dutch Sitsen, and fabric with old children games.



Maybe I'll make a typical Dutch square quilt.

In the 'Sprookjes kamer' I found this;



And I recovered the button shop again.
One can say this was a satisfying day!

Last week I showed you a peek of my new bags, well they are finished!



I made three of these big shoppers, I use one myself and two for the shop.
The funny thing about this big shopper is that you can fold the top, and from large make it a medium size shopper.



Now I'm going to make a new matroushka, for the new swap that Katy from Ginger Monkey is organizing!

And I want to introduce a new blogger, Jacoline from (Netherlands) New Zeland,
Her blog is Lovely living.
If you'r stopping by, please tell her I said 'hi'.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
