Oh Heleen je bent verwend, maar ik vind dat jij ook hele mooie dingen gemaakt hebt! Oooh die vogeltjes...toen mijn vader overleed heb ik zo'n schellekoord met vogeltjes maar naar de kringloop gedaan, foutje zie ik nu wel. Ach ja, je bewaart iets waar je niets mee doet en je doet dingen weg...Het eerste wat ik toen weg deed was de kunstkerstboom. Datzelfde jaar gaven we een verjaardagspartijtje voor mijn dochter met als thema, ja je raadt het al: Kerst! Wat zou die kunstkerstboom goed van pas zijn gekomen. Denk nu niet dat ik sindsdien alles maar bewaar, al lijkt het er wel op! Fijne zondag!

Those are all wonderful, wonderful gifts! :) I really did enjoy the swap, and it was especially fun to see what everyone made in the flickr group!

You've made and received such lovely presents and fabrics!
You must do the recipe, we portuguese love these Pasteis de Nata, I'm sure you will also love them!

(I'm getting worried about my swap partner, I sent my parcel 2 weeks ago, and I still haven't had any reply from her... no parcel and no news...)
