June,

A new month on my calander,

Look at the color changes of the leaves,




Enjoy this beautiful day,

Groetjes

May,

A new spring month,



May, so a new page on the 'Dutch costume' calander.



And time to show the new tree picture!



can you believe the changes that happened these last few weeks!
The tree is full with fresh new leaves. The differences are enormous!



With the kids in school we have been making surprises for mothersday.
This year we made these cute cup cakes!



Make your own playdough and start!

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,

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,

Februari and more

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!'

Hope you all will have a great swap!

Have a good weekend,

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!
