Skirts,

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

028

That my sister gave me.

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

010

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,

007

Found her, yesterday, in the thriftstore.

004

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

029

I think she doesn't mind.

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

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

019

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,

Ik zit te twijfelen of het een friese of west-frieseklederdracht is. 50 Jaar terug op handwerkles maakte we zulke theewarmers maar dan gehaakt, ik vindt het nog steeds jammer dat de theewarmer die ik gehaakt had door mijn moeder kado werd gedaan aan een ver familielid. Gr. Cisca
