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!

What's going on.. Beer

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,

Lazy sunday afternoon,

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,

On the table... again,

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,

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,

A wonderful day, tree picture 1 and new bags

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,

Great christmas,

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,

Kitchen table,

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

More houses,

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

A new house,

I am in real estate these days,



This is going to be the first house almost ready for the buying market..
A mortgage won't be necessary...

Have a nice day

Rood met witte stippen...

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!

Small things and a little bag

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,
