blue rabbit

A boy is born, Guus! I made him this blue rabbit. The idea came from a little drawing. I made the drawing while Jilles and Stije were also making drawings, I used their crayons, that's why the coloring is ugly. But other than that ;-) I'm happy with the result.

the pile is growing

bought more (!!!??) new fabrics. Went to a nice fabric store last wednesday and I am very happy with my purchase. Especially the flower fabric. I'm thinking of combining it with felt (for example butterflies, allready cut some to see how it looked and birds).  It's unbelievable how addictive fabric stores are.

Boys garland

For Jilles his birthday I made a garland. I found it more difficult to make a color and pattern combination for boys. I think I need to buy some more fabrics to make better combinations ;-).

new fabrics

Last week in Washington, I visited a fabric store. Josefien guided me, otherwise I would have been lost, the store was so big! Amazing. I managed to buy some nice fabrics and also got a beautiful Washington fabric as a gift, thanks again Josefien! I already used it to make a 'sinterklaas' gift, so I can't show it yet ;-). In the states they have a lot of reproduction fabrics from different periods, I like them very much.

preparing for 'sinterklaas'

Sinterklaas is almost arriving. Jilles is already practising the songs and he is very excited. In preperation of his arrival I made this garland. It's so simple, I saw the idea at a fair.

new treasure from france

My parents suprised me again with new things they found at the "marché aux puces". Really fantastic, now I have to figure out what to make out of it. Even Stije and Jilles were enthusiastic about the tapestry.
