This and that,

Although I can't wait for spring to start, it is still very much winter!

I had a garland like this hanging on my door,

But after two days the poor thing looked like this..

All beries were gone!
So here is a another one for the hungry blackbirds and starlings.
The berries on bottom seem to teast best!

Again I bought some fabrics,

Every time when i buy fabric, the store lady askes me what I'm going to make.. and most times I have to say, I don't know. Guess I do have an addiction.

It is almost valentine so for you all a sweet kiss from me and I hope your heart will be spoiled this sunday!

Dutch colour hearts

Yes, it is very cold, again.... but this lovely hearts are very warming!
And thanks you for setting up the swap. Sarah and me are emailing and follow each others weblog now. I really enjoy it and it is fun to make the present. Another advantage is, that my English is getting better, at least I hope so.

Do you sell the little dutch girl and boy material in your shop? I live in the U.S. and would like to find about 2yards of that material to make a couple of quilts with... is there material with windmills too? Thank you!

Awwwwwwwwwwww, what a sad thing to happen to your pretty wreath. I'm glad that you found another way to do it that gave you joy. jan

Well, the blackbirds must have been happy to feast on your wreath. They are so cute, i love feeding birds and watching them from inside. Our winter here has been very strange. almost no snow at all, i can see some patches of grass here and there. but the wind can still be biting cold. I live in a country wherewe can expect big storm even at the end of March, so i must wait patiently for spring to come. i love the fabric you bought, wish i had a fabric shop nearby with such beautiful choices. Your hearts are so adorable nd cheery, perfect to perk up on a boring gray and cold winter day.
have a lovely week end ♥

Heleen, your hearts are lovely! I have the same response to the salesperson when I buy fabric or yarn. I love that feeling of unlimited potential that the new purchase has!!

Thank you for visiting my blog! Your (virtual) presence is a real treat.
