holy bag

liset found me this beautiful maria embroidery. I combined it with some birds and made this bag out of it. Since I sold the last embroidery item instantly from my blog, without even showing it in my webshop, I decided to put this one right away in the shop ;-)

celebrating spring

this weekend I spend with Jilles, just the two of us, we did a mini break. We slept in an old dutch farm and visited the "zaanse schans". we had a lot of fun. I have never seen so much wooden shoes, windmills and cheeses in one weekend.

fine flowers

among my collection of vintage embroideries I also had this very fine embroidery, it looks like it's made of silk threat. I like the thought that someone put a lot of effort and love in making this small piece of embroidery. It's strange to make something with someone I don't know.

date pie

hmmmm...I just love dates, a good recipe on the bagels and beans site for this pie. It tastes so good that it was almost finished before I could take a picture ;-))

circles

I ordered some chiffon scarfs for felting at wollknoll (which is a very good store in germany). unfortunately one color turned out to be more yellow than the beige I thought I ordered. A good friend came to the rescue and together we made this scarf out of it. we covered it with a different kind of yellow. It's nice to do such a project together....and I forgot to mention it, but I'm preparing some felt workshops with her, there are still some possibilities to join us at 11 april, see my website.

painting

I'm probable one of the few people who hates painting and prefers wood sanding in stead. but for a good cause, a "new" bed for stije, I put on my painting clothes again.
