2010-09-11T17:06:00.002+02:00

It's a beautiful day!

(I made these 'sunny' brooches for the store)

lovely sun and a bit of wind,

Not a day to spend behind the computer or to work on a new autumn bag. I'm going to enjoy thes last bit of summer!

Wish you all a good day,
p.s. stay tuned.... there's going to be a change on Corry's and my Blog real soon! Groetjes,

A girls trip to London and new bag,

2010-09-09T14:20:00.003+02:00

Just finished this new bag,

I'm pleased with the result, and love the warmth of the colors and look of the bag.

The checked fabric and the wide band are also doing well together, don't you think?

A GIRLS TRIP TO LONDON,

Yes, my daughter and me are going to Londen for a few days in October, just the two of us, the girls in the house!

It was her idea to ask this as a gift for het 14th birthday.. she's saving money for this trip to do a lot of shopping. (me too of course)

We booked our flight but have to book our hotel or BB.

If any of you have great London ideas for us, it can be anything, a nice BB or hotel, lovely shops, vintage shops, places to lunch, etc....

We'll love it and be greatful!

This is it for now... groetjes,

Bear and bag,

2010-09-03T19:33:00.005+02:00

Remember our cat, Bear (Beer)?

Except that he has grown this summer, he is still very naughty and funny and we all love our Bear!

He does however has a strange thing when there are flowers on the table.....
First he looks around... and when no one is watching.....

..he takes very carefully, leaf by leaf, small bites of the Roses
Have you ever seen this before?

Here is another flower,

I made this flower for my new messengerbag

This is the first autumn bag and I'm working on another one..

See you soon,

Blogging again

2010-05-24T15:39:00.002+02:00

Hello again,
We had a two week vacation by the sea. It was great!
But now it's time to start catching up with blogging and I'm far behind reading all your lovely blogs, and please forgive me for not answering your comments.

We took our cat 'Bear' allong with us and he did great!
He is growing real fast and is being naughty and cute at the same time.

Today I finally have a little time to work on the apron swap!

Here is a little fabric peek....
My lovely swappartner is the hostess Sarah from Red Gingham

This is it for today,
I leave you with some fresh tulips and hope to be back with you in a few days!

Groetjes,

2010-05-21T13:08:00.001+02:00

Brr,

2010-05-07T11:40:00.004+02:00

We are having a few cold spring days here.
But the postman brought us,
Corry and me this heartwarming gift,

Karina
made for each of us this sweet embroidered heart.
And also a beautiful printed linnen from her country,

Dear Karina thank you so much!

Bought these new fabrics for another little Dutch quilt.

Although I better finish this one first!

Wish you all a lovely warm day,

May,

2010-05-01T13:00:00.005+02:00

A new spring month,

Messengerbag, My best horse!

2010-04-23T19:59:00.002+02:00

Just finished,

Just in time,

Just before a busy weekend,

No sewing this weekend, it's time to enjoy the sun and
home made pizza!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Groetjes,

Happy day,

2010-04-22T16:36:00.003+02:00

Yes it is a happy day becouse,

The doctor gave me a new medicine for my 'spring' allergies.
So today I finally have normal looking eyes! Instead of walking around like I have been crying all day!

It's a happy day becouse I almost finished the horse bag,

I bought new magazines!

With great illustrations from Hanneke de Jager.

And Flow magazine is always filled with little gifts like this cuty,

My daughter is making our dinner, Pancakes in all kind of flavors.
So that gives me time to do some sewing!

Yes it is a happy day!
Hope you are having a happy day too!

groetjes,

Polkadot dress

I finally found it,

the polkadot dress I was looking for.

I could not resist...
Although I'm rather busy...
Just had to enter this new swap Sarah, from Red Gingham is organizing

Go check it out if you also want to enter!

Today the weather is so great, we had our tea outsite!

And 'bear' (= beer in dutch)is taking his first steps outside!

My intention for today was to work on this new horse bag...

Oh well maybe I can find a little sewing time tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend,

3 Dutch houses bag,

2010-04-15T13:29:00.004+02:00

The 3 old Dutch houses bag is finished

It'll be in the shop later this day.

I just could not resist showing this picture..

It is amazing what you can buy for your pet,
But a corn flakes box with a few wholes in it, is playing fun for houres!
(and it costs nothing)

Groetjes,

Today's catch

2010-04-11T22:22:00.003+02:00

This is what I found at a local flea-market,

I'm not so sure what to do with the horse....

I'll just keep it a while and than give it away again...

Have a good start of the week everyone.

Stitchery bags,

2010-04-09T19:16:00.003+02:00

As you know I love to make bags from sweaters and stitchery work. Corry found this stitchery, I think I can make a great bag with these houses,

But First I want to finish the bag I started this week,

The cotton lining is going to be cute, don't you think?

So hope I can do some sewing this weekend!

And before I go
here fresh tulips for all of you sweet bloggers to start a good weekend!

What's going on.. Beer

2010-04-08T08:53:00.004+02:00

It seems like life in this home is focused around this little one
the last two weeks,

When the kids are at home they have to play and cuddle with this cuty, playful a bit naughty Beer,

Now, there is a little problem comming up... what to do when we go camping?
We can bring our kitten to a friend but the kids insist on taking him along...

Does anyone have any experience with taking a cat camping?
Please let me know.

I'm so happy spring is here!
These grape hyacinths came out again,

and the weather was so nice.. it inspired our youngest
to some carpentry!

a small 'Rietveld' chair for our kitten Beer!

I'm just not sure if it's his (Beer) taste....

Groeten,

A productive easterweekend

2010-04-05T20:43:00.003+02:00

What a lovely easter weekend we had, time to do some good sewing and this last day even the weather was fine for a long walk!

The book cover with the windmill is finished,

And I started a new one in the pink/red colors with stitched flowers on it,

They both will be in the shop when finished.

And I made a new bag for the shop..

It is a new model, a bit big, but I really like how it turned out!
As you can see it was a productive easter weekend!... and yes I also had some time to search for the easter eggs, that the easter bunny had hidden for us!

April so time to show the tree photo of this month,

It looks like nothing has changed, but if you watch very good....
you can see the tree buds growing!

Can't wait to show you the next tree picture in may, I'm sure it'll be so different!

Groetjes,

April

2010-04-01T09:37:00.003+02:00

Where did march go??
Today I turned a new page on my Dutch costume calander,

April!
If I look outside it doesn't look like April, more like november!
Lots of rain, it is cold, there is a hard wind and just thought I saw some white snowflakes!

But this cute little fellow doesn't care,

as long as he gets his food, attention and sleep in time!

It is such a cute and playful little kitten!

Becouse I had so much fun making the swap bookcovers,
I am making another one!

Groeten,

Spring surprise swap

2010-03-28T12:06:00.006+02:00

Look how I have been spoiled by my two fabulous swappartners..
(Yes I had two swappartners.)
RosaMaria from Mexico and Sofia from Portugal.

First I opened RosaMaria's parcel and a there was a lovely lavender fragrance,
She made me this lovely quiltbasket!

And The basket was filled with more lovely gifts,

A lovely card, a little pillow with lavander, a sweet bag filled with buttons, some scrap fabrics and these beautiful fat quarterfabrics.

Dear, sweet RosaMaria you really spoiled me! Thank you so much,
I love it all!

A few days later came the parcel from Sofia.

A lovely box and card
and in the box,

a beautiful and perfect crossstitched place mat,

a great Portugese pastel recipe, two lovely expresso cups,

and two lovely fatquarters fabric.

Dear, sweet Sofia you also really spoiled me! Thank you so much,
I love it all! And Corry and me will have a cup of coffee from your beautiful cups and I hope with Portugese pastel!

I want to thank these two girls for participating this swap and making these beautiful gifts! It's great to have new blogfriends!

This is what I made for them,

A book cover a blue one for Sofia and

for RosaMaria one in Pink colors.

With a little pencil bag and of course the fabrics.

I loved making the bookcovers and little bag for them.

My new skirt,

2010-03-26T23:35:00.003+01:00

Ok, here it is
my new home made skirt!

What do you think?

It was great to sew something for myself again...I think the last time I made something to wear myself was about 10 years ago!

Next post is about the swap gifts I got, so keep tuned!

Groetjes,

Skirts,

2010-03-25T11:41:00.003+01:00

A few posts ago I showed you this lovely book of skirts,

That my sister gave me.

Well I finally found a cute (curtain)fabric to make a skirt for myself!

Show you the whole skirt when it is finished. (and when it looks good...)
Talking about a skirt,
Look at this cute old Dutch costume doll and her enormous skirt,

Found her, yesterday, in the thriftstore.

I know it is not decent to look under a womens skirt... but

I think she doesn't mind.

'ding - dong' the doorbell.........................

The postman just brought me a parcel all the way from Mexico!

It's from one of my swap partners! RosaMaria!
(I have two lovely swap partners)

So I say 'groetjes' for now, I am off to open this swapparcel!
Yes of course I'll make pictures to show you later.

Groetjes,

Lazy sunday afternoon,

2010-03-21T16:47:00.002+01:00

Going through some magazines,
drinking a cup of tea,
trying not to eat tooo much chocolate easter eggs...

..and, enjoying my new tulips.

In other words,
I'm having a lazy sunday afternoon!

Have a good start of the week everyone!

groetjes,

Spring, spring, spring

2010-03-20T16:52:00.004+01:00

Hoera.... It is spring! (officially tomorrow)
Oh and it feels so good, I woke up real early and I heard the birds talking spring talk!

And talk of Spring..... the deadline is this weekend!

Let me introduce to you:
'Bear'

you'll be hearing more of him in the future....

Have a good sunday

Strolling in the second hand shop,

2010-03-18T13:50:00.002+01:00

This morning I went to the second hand store to find a new china bowl. I love to use them in the garden and this one was broken.. (frozen)

I did not find any nice china
but,
I did find some stitchery..

This cute kids bell pull.

A fancy (little dirty) lady.

and this fantastic (a little over the top..lol)Alone in the world!

A few new stitchery's I can use for new projects!

Groetjes,

Shall we dance?

2010-03-13T17:17:00.003+01:00

It's saterday night and time for dancing..
or a lazy night on the couch.

Or we can go to the movies..

Yes, I'll have to check out a good movie!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bag idea,

2010-03-11T20:01:00.002+01:00

Just a idea for a new bag,
In blue or..

In red dutch folk fabric.

I'm just not sure yet,

Meanwhile I love working on this romantic 'kitchie' couple.
Hope they'll do great on a bag to.

(still searching for the right fabric to make a new skirt..)

Many greetings,

Spoil yourself,

2010-03-06T17:44:00.002+01:00

Every week I try to spoil myself with lovely flowers or a magazine once in a while. This week I bought these daffodils.

They where on the kitchen sink, in the plastic bag, for three days before I managed to put them in the right vase.

Spoiled myself a bit more this week with the new Flow magazine...

I browsed through the magazine and the first thing I see are these words!

And with these flowers, the magazine a cup of tea, chocolate cake and a bit of sun I really feel I did spoil myself!

How about you?
Did you spoil yourself?

Groetjes,

Lovely gift and tree

2010-03-03T12:49:00.004+01:00

Corry came by to suprise me with a lovely gift,

Beautifull ribbons from LFN ribbons

and this great book to make my own skirts!

It has been ages ago since I sewed anything for myself!

There are some great skirts in this book and I really have new inspiration here!
So hope to show you a new skirt real soon!
(unless I fail... )

It is March so time for my monthly tree picture.

This morning I took a early picture of the tree. It was still a little foggy,

It looks like there are no changes between the februari and march tree....

But I'm sure the tree is waking up, and feels the early spring sun on the branches of the tree. This tree is working verry hard inside to get ready for the big spring changes!

I'm off now to the fabric store in search for a great skirt fabric!

groetjes,

March, Maart

2010-03-01T19:01:00.001+01:00

A new month, 'March' = 'Maart' in Dutch.
This month spring will start!! Today the sun was shining a little.. and ooh it felt so good!
And this month we finish and send all our swap envelopes with the fath quarters and a gift!

Of course there is also a new page on my Dutch costume calander,

Old Dutch costumes of this month are from Volendam, a characteristic Dutch fishing village in the province Noord Holland.

This how the clothes were around 1850 in Volendam.

And here you see them around 1950.
There has almost been no change.
These days everyone walks around in regular clothes.
Only a few people where typical clothes from Volendam, Maybe some for the toerists.

Now I do have to show you my monthly tree picture... Hope to do that on wednesday!

Until then
Groetjes,

Enjoying sunday,

2010-02-28T15:48:00.002+01:00

This morning Corry and I went to a local fleamarket.
We love to stroll around to find lovely treasures.
I found these two girls looking at me,

OPAM 2010...
I don't know but februari seemed to have passed in the blink off an eye!
I did how ever just finish my swap gifts for Sofia and Rosa Maria... but these are secret so,

I can only show a little peek!

Yesterday the postwomen brought me these lovely fabrics from Denmark.

They are a sweet gift from Karen, She has a great blog that I love to visit! Thank you Karen I love the fabrics!

Although the weather is very bad I do enjoy this sunday, I hope you do also!

groetjes,

Almost spring,

2010-02-24T12:39:00.003+01:00

Spring is on its way, I can hear more birds, it's feeling a bit warmer and the snow has melted!

So a bit of spring (tulips) in the house!

My doughter has been making a beautiful cake.... But it was eaten before I could take a picture of the finished cake!

Just a little peek,
not sure if this is going to be the right (swap)combination.....

Groetjes

On the kitchentable,

2010-02-20T16:37:00.002+01:00

The kitchentable is one of the most importend places in our house,

And this is what you'll see on it today.
(my French plates are on the cover, well not mine of course)

The snow has finaly disappeared and the first crocuses are in the house!

Can't wait for the real ones to come out!

Today I bought a few more fabrics, so now I can choose just the right fabrics for the our springswap

Are all you swapgirls doing well?
I hope so!
And don't forget to show a little peek on your blog or to send it to our flickr group!

Groetjes

This and that,

2010-02-12T12:16:00.006+01:00

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!

and for those who want to make this little sweetheart

The tutorial is still on the sidebar.

I wish you all e great weekend and HAPPY VALENTINE!

p.s. Dear swap friends,I find it so lovely that some of you write emails back and forth and become swapfriends. How neat is that!!I'm so curious what you all will make for your swappartners!

Klederdracht in februari,

2010-02-06T18:55:00.008+01:00

As you know I love the Old Dutch costumes, klederdracht, and its history.
So I treaded myself and ordered this birthday calander here And today it arrived.

Every month it shows a different place with its own old traditional clothing, styled in a modern way.

This month it shows a woman with a special cap on from Huizen

From some old books I have I made these pictures with more clothing from Huizen,

The colors of the costume of Huizen are a bit sober, but the beautiful laced cap (cornet)compensated that.

Here you can see that putting on a cap is a complycated business.

Now ofcours it is great we all can wear what we want these days, but I sure think it still is very pretty to see!

Groetjes,

Februari and more

2010-02-05T13:58:00.004+01:00

Yes it is februari. Time for the second tree picture!

I'm making a picture of the same tree every month, so at the end of this year I'll have a mosaic of twelve photo's!

Januari Februari

'Hello everyone, It's me again, little bear,look at my foot!'

'I had to pick my own color to mend my foot. And I was very brave so I got this yummie cookie!'

Hello Birds, tutorial

In our class in school we made birdhouses and birds with the children,

My colleague made the beautiful houses with them,

And I needlefelted the birds with the children.

They are really nice and easy to make! So here is a tutorial;

You'll need,

Needle felt wool, feathers, a little piece of red felt fabric and a feltneedle,

first make a little cocoon,

Than take the feltneedle and poke up and down till the cocoon (bird body) is a bit firm.

Now choose a different color for the wings and poke them to the body. One on each side.

Take the scissors and make a cut on one side of the body.(the butt)

Choose a feather and put it in the little hole (the butt). Than poke a bit on the wool to make the feather tight.

For the eyes you can use beads or a dark color of wool.

The last thing you have to do is take the small piece of red felt fabric
and cut out the beak of the bird. Sew it on the front, and the bird is finished!

I know my English is poor but I hope the tutorial was clear?

Have fun making this little bird for yourself or with children!

Hello,

2010-01-20T21:49:00.004+01:00

Hello,
Look who is taking a peep,
did you also hear her asking...

Is it spring yet?
Wish I could say.. yes it is!

Anyway my sister and me are thinking and wondering if any of you would be interested in joining our first swap. A spring swap, Sign up will be somewhere next week. First we have to work out the details.

Stay tuned if you want to join.

Maybe you have seen it in my sidebar, I joined "OPAM 2010", The one project a month challenge 2010.

There are lots of projects to finish around here, and I hope to show at least one each month!

For this month I finished these bags! And who knows, Januari is not over yet, maybe I can make a few more things to show!

Groetjes,

Nathalie Lete,

Some time ago in this previous post I showed you some cards from Nathalie Lete. I think she is a great artist! in the next little film you can see her working in a Japanese boutique.

I found this film on Fairytale Hausfrau's blog who also is an admirer of Nathalies art, and I wanted to share it with you.

Enjoy this artist and get inspired! (and the music is lovely to)

Groetjes,

On the table... again,

2010-01-15T15:43:00.003+01:00

It's like nothing happend since my last post, I had a full working week and now I'm just sitting and enjoying a little moment for myself on my favorite place!

The 'roze koeken' (pink cake)are unfortunately eaten..

While I'm sitting at the kitchentable I started to make a new little matroushka from the bag left overs.

There is only one thing I have to find out now...
What to make for dinner,
maybe this book will inspire me!

Have a good start of the weekend everyone,

On the table,

2010-01-13T16:15:00.002+01:00

On the table lay my just finished bag and the new Flow magazine.

I wanted to finish the bag before I get lost in this great magazine...
So now I'm off ready to Flow with a cup of hot coco and a 'roze koek'!

Groetjes,

Winter,

2010-01-10T16:44:00.003+01:00

Brrr it is cold!

A good day to finish these new bags!

and these

or a good day to go ice skating with the kids,

This weekend I did both!

Enjoy the sunday and have a good start of the week!

Red socks,

2010-01-08T19:54:00.007+01:00

First I want to thank you all so much for visiting and for the many congratulations I recieved from you! Thank you!

Last year I asked my MIL to knit me some red socks, so I could decorate them for christmas and hang them by the chimney.

But I run out of time last year so I stored them away with the idea to decorate them this christmas.
This year I searched and searsched, but apparently I stored them away a bit to good because I couldn't find them in time to decorate...

But when I was clearing the house from its christmas decorations this week, I found them!
So now it is no more decorating for these socks! No, now I am wearing them on these cold cold days!

And see if I can wear them in my ice skates! (hope to show some ice skate pictures later this weekend)

Any way I'm sure my MIL is happy now, the socks are being used where they are meant for!

Before I leave for a round on the ice I'll show the new bags I'm working on,

Hope too see you again this weekend,

A wonderful day, tree picture 1 and new bags

2010-01-03T12:35:00.006+01:00

Yes, yesterday was my birthday. Another year older! It is always a strange day for a birthday, after having so many special days. But it was a great day! A few people came over and in the evening we went out for a fancy family dinner!

Oh and I was spoiled by DH, he suprised me with this beautiful large tablecloth,

It came in a beautifull box,

I love how it is made,

I love how it fills the table with colour!
Another gift was this beautiful sugarbowl,

As I said it was a wonderful day!

Now something else,
I want to take the same picture of a tree each month. The same tree a bit different each month. And after a year we will see a tree's yearlife!
Here is the first tree picture,

And at last I made these two bags for the shop,

Love the monster on the bag! (the bag below is sold)

Unfortunately today is the last day before school starts and regular life will start again. So we'll cherish this beautiful winter sunday.

Wish you all a good start of the week!

groetjes,

Happy new 2010!!!

2009-12-31T11:24:00.003+01:00

Today we say goodbye 2009! The last day of the year.
It has been a good year, I want to thank you all for visiting and caring and for the great inspiration!
Now let us all make a wish for 2010

My wish for you is good health, happiness and lots, lots of creativity!

Happy 2010

Great christmas,

2009-12-27T15:35:00.003+01:00

We just had some great christmas days! We enjoyed the warm company of family while we had a great meal and a good glas of wine! Today we are in a bit of an afterglow atmosphere. Watching some tv and hanging on the couch close by the fire.

And in moments like these I can't sit still... so I made this quilted and embroidered pillow! It matches great with the quilt.

Enjoy your day,

Almost christmas,

2009-12-22T14:16:00.003+01:00

The quilting is and the binding are done.
This quilt is ready for the shop!

I like how this red and white Dutch fabric quilt turned out.
What do you think?

Everyone had so much fun in the snow these last few days... I hope it wil not melt before christmas. It will be so great to have a white christmas!

Of course there are a lot of preparations to do,

Cleaning the house, washing and ironing, christmas shopping and yummie cooking!

Good christmas preparations everyone!

Christmas swap,

2009-12-18T09:57:00.005+01:00

Last week I recieved this beautifull package and card from Mary Ann We were swappartners in the Christmas ornament swap. I wanted to wait until she recieved my part of the swap too before I blogged about it. We both send it on the same day but somehow the trip to her house took a week longer!

Mary Ann wrapped and made the package so beautifull and all in style of the UN Global Climate Conference in Kopenhagen. She wrapped it so pretty in a newspaper and look what was in the paper!

This christmas tin,

These 6 beautifull made crochet stars! They hang in our tree so pretty! Dear Mary Ann, thank you so much I really love the stars and card!!

Groetjes,

Hmm,

2009-12-06T17:21:00.004+01:00

Hi everyone, I wanted to do some sewing today (new bag)...
but look who 'discovered' the sewing machine!

Our 13 year old doughter! She is a creative girl, but usually more a drawer..
Today she rumbled in my red and white fabric stash

until she found the right fabrics for a red and white pizza pillow!

A pillow for a hockey teammate.

Where did the time go when the kids were in bed by seven so mom could do some sewing??

Well maybe I have to take my moment tomorrow evening!

Groetjes,

It's Sinterklaas evening

2009-12-05T16:39:00.004+01:00

A few more minutes before we start our Sinterklaas evening. Everyone is prepering, wraping, making the right rhyme for the right person and prepering a nice dinner.

This little Zwarte Pietje is looking at it all... tomorrow Sinterklaas and all his Pieten are going back to Spain.
And when Sinterklaas is gone I hope to find time to work on this new bag,

The only thing left to show is a little peek of the chrismas ornament swap,

It is for Mary Ann,I hope she'll like it. Show you all when she has it.

Groetjes,

2009-11-23T06:28:00.001+01:00

Although we sing Sinterklaas songs every day and put our shoe by the chimny (don't forget to put yours out in my giveaway. last post),
I am also busy working on christmas ornaments.

First I was sewing these strips together,

Than there was one tree,

Now there are five!

Groetjes,

Sinterklaas kapoentje gooi wat in mijn schoentje or eat a yummie cookie GIVEAWAY!

2009-11-21T15:26:00.010+01:00

Around half november 'Sinterklaas' arrives in our country on a big steamerboat with many 'Zwarte pieten'. They stay until the birthday of Sinterklaas on 5 december. It is a very special time and should not be confused with cristmas Santa.
We sing special songs while...

we put our shoe by the chimny and hope Sinterklaas will hear us, and put a present in our shoe when we sleep!

Or will visit us.. (like he visited me a long, long, long time ago)

It's a time in wich we drink a lot of hot chocolate and eat and make 'Speculaas koekjes' (gingerbread cookies?).

They are made in these special wooden cookie shapes,

And with special spices,

Now if you also want something in your shoe???
Just put your shoe by the chimny and leave me a comment.
I'll be your Sinterklaas!

I'll announce the two winners on november 26 so till than come and take your shoe...

Angels and bag,

2009-11-19T13:46:00.002+01:00

The little angels are finished and the weather is right. So I can take pictures outside,

They wanted their long hair in two braids.

So I did.

The bag I was working on last post is now almost finished,

I like how it turned out, also the inside.

I call it 'Winterrose' and it only needs a band. A good reason to go to the city tonight and nose about in the fabric store.

groetjes,

Dark soon

2009-11-15T18:14:00.003+01:00

Today I am working on...

Christmas decorations.
I'm trying out some new things.
And I am working on a new bag, 'winter rose'

The pictures aren't of great quality this time, sorry it was dark before I noticed!

Groetjes

Christmas inspiration,

2009-11-12T11:34:00.003+01:00

Every year I want to make a new chrismas ornament,
a few years ago I made these,

But these last two years I somehow didn't. Maybe to busy with other creativities...
But now I signed in for the Christmas ornament swap (see the sidebar) and I want to be full inspired with new ideas!

So I searched all Marie-claire christmas editions and put them on the kitchentable!
And if that's not enough I also bought the new country home.

I already spotted this nice page with cards,

Guess I'll be moving around the kitchen table today..
And get Christmas inspiration!

What's in the small box?

2009-11-09T18:09:00.003+01:00

Time for a new 'what's in the box'!

I have these 3 cute boxes and I want to show what's in the smallest one,

As a kid I loved to punnik (don't know if I say it right in English?)
The one with the brown thread on his head used to be mine.. I think.

I love how they seem to talk to each other.
(lol, guess it doesn't make any sence at all)

Groetjes,

A good day!

2009-11-08T12:28:00.003+01:00

Yes, saterday was a real good day.

These lovely fabrics were brought by the postman,

I won these beautifull fabrics in the giveaway on Quilt it & dotty's blog!

Aren't they lovely? Thank you so much Dorry!

I have been in search for a 'grand foular' to cover an old chair.... or the other option... a new chair. (but in these tight financial times times I rather wanted the first option)

And yesterday I found this quilt and two pillows for a nice price,

They are just what this cosy corner needed! I know, I can hear a lot of you thinking.. 'she should have made it herself' ... you are right ofcourse, But sometimes buying (and the quick result) can be satisfying.

And to make the atmosphere complete I bought new candle's and this plant

So yesterday evening, while we were all home, close by the fire, candle burning and drinking some hot coco, I was thinking 'This was a good day'!

Today we have a sunny sonday so another good day has started!

wish you all a good day too,

Groetjes

Matching quilt,

2009-11-06T13:38:00.002+01:00

Just couldn't resist to make another matching quilt (je) for this bag.

Have a good friday!

groetjes,

Kitchen table,

2009-11-05T13:15:00.005+01:00

It sure is drippy wet and cold weather, a real autumn day!

So the ideal day, after 3 working days, to take a slow start... read the paper, do some stitchery and blogging.

The best place for all this is the kitchentable! Hiep hiep hoera for the kitchentable!

Here are a few new houses, finished at the kitchentable.

Now I do hope it'll stop raining some time today.. do need to do some shopping and detach myself from the kitchen table.

Groetjes

Windmill block,

2009-10-31T14:48:00.008+01:00

Remember this?

from a post in september?

This block has been laying around here and there in my crafting area waiting to become a pillow or a quilt or... I don't know what.

Until yesterday

When I just knew the right perpose for this block,

A new Dutch windmill bag!

I searched all the fabrics and locked myself up in the my crafting room and started sewing. This the result.

Do you like it?

Wel I can't stay in my craftingroom so now it's time to focus on the household and family area... it is weekend after all!

And do not want to have grumpy people around me.

So have a good weekend everyone

More houses,

2009-10-29T22:21:00.006+01:00

Yes, now I really am in real estate,

In this street I put up two houses for sale,

One with lovely blue frames and a sweet front garden with pink flowers.

And the one with the dark purple frames, the lovely garden with red flowers and a small blue postbox!

So if you are in search of a new home.... come and visit my street!

Groetjes

Hi everyone, I have been sewing and quilting and now it's finished!

It is a gift for a very special person, she's very creative, a great story teller, a very generous person and has a great blog!
She gave me the fabrics to make the large quilt!

And from the very last scraps I made a few pincushions,

Dear Elizabeth this miniquilt is comming your way (I hope you like it).

Groetjes,

Little quilt,

2009-10-25T13:44:00.002+01:00

With the scraps from my last quilt I'm making a little quilt,

And with all the kids being out at the moment... I'm going to use my time sewing this little quilt! Hope to show the result soon!

Enjoy your sunday!

Finished quilt

2009-10-23T22:41:00.002+02:00

This afternoon I finished this quilt,

I love to handquilt, here the backside..

The quilt is great in the kitchen or on top of the other quilts,

Now I do have some scrabs left... hope I can make a mini quilt out of it!

Rood met witte stippen...

2009-10-21T12:00:00.004+02:00

My Ria brought these shoes for me from Spain,

They are a gift for little Luca when she turns two. Luckely it'll take 9 months before that happens, so I can look at them for a long time!

It seems these are the polka dot days here and at school, have a look,

Polka dots on the table. (Today I hope to finish this quilt, so it stays on the kitchen table and every free minute can be spend useful.)

And polka dots in our class,

The season table

painting,

felting and folding

And of course, can't live without polka dots fabric!

Well, I'm of now to do a few more stitches on the quilt, before my son is home for lunch.
Next post you'll see it finished!

Thrift shopping,

2009-10-11T17:21:00.002+02:00

Oh how time passes by so quickly! before you know another week has started.

This mornig we went thriftshopping and found this,

And a lovely book from 1957 with all kind of nice carpenter ideas,

(I don't think anyone is ever going to make a thing, but I love the 50s pictures!)

And who is making all thes lovely ideas...

Yes the handy father while smoking a pipe!

And since I'm not a carpenter I'll stick to do some quilting

Have a good start of the week everyone,

Rainy day

2009-10-07T20:03:00.002+02:00

It's a rainy day, ideal sewing time!
I managed to finish the quilttop,

And between the rain periods I was able to take a few pictures.

Now I need to find fabric for the back,
think I'll go shopping at my mom's attic...so I can spend rainy evenings sitting in an easy chair, near the woodstove, and quilt!

Sewing, blogging again

2009-10-04T19:13:00.003+02:00

Yes I'm blogging again. This last week it seemed I couldn't get near my laptop. I don't know mabye it had something to do with my pfaffie being away. Anyway I have some catching up to do and read all your beautifull posts from last week,

But Pfaffie is back from the treatment disturbs and ready to get started!!
First there were a few repearing jobs to do... before we can start with these quilt fabrics I got from Elizabeth

I'm using all 30s fabrics in this quilt.

I did take the liberty to change the pattern a bit, that came with it.
Now I cant wait to get this quilt finished, it will look so cheerful in our kitchen!

Oke, I'm off now, to sew this new quilt.. or.. no.. and to catch up reading blogs!
Guess I need more hours in a day!

See you soon,

Hidden treasure

2009-09-26T11:56:00.003+02:00

Can't show any new sewing.... my Pfaffie is out to a treatment disturbs That was promissed and verry necessary.
So instead I thought it's time to show you a hidden treasure.
The sweetest doll ever made,

The doll is made by Elisabeth Pongratz
She has a sweet wooden head and a soft body.

Her little crochet hat and the sweet knitted socks and underpants are made by her grandmother,

I'm still saving to buy her a sweet sister or brother...
And until that time I cuddle and play with her every now and than..

Have a lovely weekend,

Small things and a little bag

2009-09-24T11:10:00.002+02:00

You know, I made these little ornaments,

Now they need to have something to put them in when they aren't hanging. So I made a little matching bag to put them in,

Actually I made 3 three little bags

Also made a bag with ornaments for the shop.

Groetjes,

Enjoying Autumn

2009-09-23T16:18:00.002+02:00

I had to do some shopping, and walked by a 'chocolatier'... I could not resist them,
they fit so perfect in te autumn season!
And now after a hard working day I enjoy my tea with new autumn chocolate!

Is there a better way to start the autumn season?

Yes of course, walking in the park!
I'll be doing that after eating (to much) chocolate....

Small things, 2

2009-09-21T16:32:00.003+02:00

I was in the mood for more small things,

With a little touch of Dutch

So I also made these,

Have a good start of the week everyone!

Small things,

2009-09-20T19:27:00.003+02:00

I was just in the mood to,

make something small,

something a little Dutch,

something that matches the time of year,

So I made some little Dutch toadstool.

Enjoy your day,

Afterglowing,

2009-09-18T18:52:00.003+02:00

This afternoon while I was afterglowing our great day in Dordrecht,

(thank you lili M. for all the great tips, we visited great thrift stores, the museum of Simon van Gijn and we tasted whine in the Voorstraat.)

a packege arrived from Elizabeth

She send me the most beautiful fabrics with lovely 30's prints,

and there's a quiltpattern that came along to!
Dear Elizabeth how did you know I love all these fabrics!!!
And they match so great in our home, especially in our kitchen with my crockery as you can see on the first picture. But also with these,

and with these.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much!! I love it, you really spoiled me!
I'll make a quilt to brighten up my kitchen!
Can't wait to get started!!
But just looking at the fabrics, makes me feel so happy!

I'll just keep on doing some afterglowing!

Puzzling....

2009-09-16T14:58:00.002+02:00

I was just puzzling around with these fabrics and embroidered Dutch windmill

Now I'm just doing a bit of sewing,

But I'm still not sure what exactly I'm going to make....
Who know's I might get inspired tomorrow while we visit Dordrecht.

Let you know,

13 years old

2009-09-14T18:15:00.003+02:00

What do girls do when turn 13????

They polish their toe nails and watch their legs grow,

They take a face mask, against their aging skin,

They watch 'new' movies,

They grow out of their clothes...
The advantage this time is that I can make new bags from her great vest!

Have a good start of the week all!

Last bits of summer,

2009-09-12T11:56:00.002+02:00

This morning we enjoy from the last bits of summer.
The nice temperature, full grown garden,

Eating the last blackberries that turn black,

And watching how this little guy's hair grew this season,

Wish you all a great 'late' summer weekend to!

New birds

2009-09-10T12:59:00.004+02:00

On my last car boot sale visite I found these lovely birds,

I'm not planning to hang them in the house, no I want to use them for a new project.
Don't know what project that will be... maybe something like this,

Anyway, I have to undo the stitchery from its frame...

Oh no, do I see old glue??

Luckely it has been glued only on the back, the stitchery is perfect!

I love the natural print on the cardboard.

Our youngest has also some new birds. No not found at the car boot sale.
He had his mind set on a specific breed,

They are called 'Dubbelgezoomde Barnevelderkippen'. I do not know how to translate this for you... maybe something like, 'Double seamed barnevelder chicken'!
They are getting a bit accustumed in their new home, but look at me like I'm an alien.

Look who's back in our garden again,

Haven't seen him a few months but I hope he'll stay for the winter!

Well I'm off now, 'naar buiten waar de vogeltjes fluiten,
listning to the little birds outside!

Have a wonderful day everyone,

Spoiled

On my mothers attic was this little house, she bought it once in a thrift shop, about 2 years ago. It is a money box. I told her I had a real fine spot for it! But no..she wasn't to persuade. So that was it. But look what she brought with the other day....

Am I spoiled, or not! I also put the house in my sidebar.

Sometimes it's great to get spoiled or to spoil ourselves a bit. I did, and bought myself these cards from Nathalie Lete

I really love her drawings!
Now I also spoiled myself with these Figs,

They were looking so delisious!
My dear cousin teached me a great recipi with figs and goat cheese and a bit of bacon. I'm already looking forworth to make and taste it.

But now it is time to show you, as promised the finished miniquilt for the summerswap.

I called it Summer rose. Only have to put a little label on the back and than I can send it to S.....oeps almost said it. I hope she likes it.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

We went for new shoes for my son yesterday... when I saw these...

Yes I know, now I'm really spoiled!

Getting ready for school and swap,

These last days before a new schoolyear starts,
the two oldest in the house are bussy covering their new schoolbooks.

Our doughter bought the lovelyest wrapping(cover)paper and notebooks from Pipstudio.

She also has the matching Pip school diary...

It all looks so lovely! I also need a new school diary... The Pip is adorable but a doughter can not have the same diary as her mom! That is not done!
So I choose this one from the Hema,

What, do you sence a bit of jealousy??? No of course not, I'm happy she has such great taste! And I got all the wrapping paper that was left over.

It is my intension to take the bike to work more often this schoolyear, and therefor I needed a new saddle cover. (there is a whole in the saddle)

The bike and me are verry happy with the new cover!

And here the last sneak peek of the summerswap

The quilt is almost finished, only have to do the binding.
Hope I can show it in the weekend.

Til than,

Working on the summerswap,

Today I made a start with the quilt for the summerswap and I want to give you a quick peek while I'm sewing...

I think it will turn out real nice,

I do hope my swap friend will like it.

Back again

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for visiting and giving me sweet comments while I was away.
It’s been a while…. More than a month!

We had a great time traveling and camping on the French and Spanish Atlantic coast. Spending a lot of time at the beach,

where the kids enjoyed their selves with the surf and skim boards. We enjoyed the nature,

the food (lots of fish) and the great wines!

And although we are back for a few days now, I can’t seem to get behind the computer. There is a lot of catching up, reading blogs, to do.
My plan was to do some quilting while traveling….. well the only time I had a needle in my hand was to sew a lost button on my daughters trousers.
But now it’s time to get my mind on the summer swap!

I was in Middelburg today and bought two lovely rose fabrics. I think they will match with a little rose embroidery just fine!
I have one more week before the kids and me have to get back to school again, so that will give me the perfect time to make the little swap quilt (and to blog).

So have a great day and see you soon!
