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,

My new skirt,

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,

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,

Lovely gift and tree

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,
