A girls trip to London and new bag,

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,

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,

Messengerbag, My best horse!

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,

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,

Sewing time,

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!
(he's doing great with the leach)



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,

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,

Stitchery bags,

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!

A productive easterweekend

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,

Spring, spring, spring

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!
We hope you're making progress on your projects for your swap partners.



Because the postoffices are closed on a Sunday,
Monday 22th of March will be the last day to ship your items to your partner.
Many of you did already sent and received their presents.
And photos from the "Dutch sisters spring surprise swap"
