Happy sunday

greetings for you from three little Dutch girls
 

wearing little Dutch aprons...



A happy Sunday from me too!

PS. Thank you for all your lovely comments on last post. Many of you asked where they could buy these jars. All I know is that my MIL purchased them at the AH store.
Groetjes..

Just another Tuesday

It's still winter outside and I'm sitting cozy upstairs in my own little space.



Drinking coffee and eating kitkat's, they are low in calories, you know (lol)! I'm looking at family pictures I picked up from the store this morning. They turned out great. Luca's first time in the snow.



Here is Daantje (that's her name)with her gorgeous flowery apron on.
Isn't she cute? She's posing for me so I can take her photograph.





You can see she loves flowers by the cross-stitch flowers on her apron and the roses on her dress.



I made a start on Daantjes friends. They don't have all their bodyparts yet and one needs a face. But the girls aprons are done!



I'm going now, make myself a second cup of coffee!
See you next time!

Welcome 2010

Hello everyone, how are you all! Did you survive the holiday season?

Well we did alright, although I only have to will eat low calorie food

for the next few weeks or so!

A new year calls for a new calender.

 

This new one is hanging in my craftsroom. It's actually a birthday calender.

It contains beautiful cross-stitch sampler patterns

and a farmers saying for each month.

The calender is published by Tesseschade-Arbeid Adelt

Don't ask me to translate January's saying in English.

I'm sorry I don't think I can.

However if one of you can, please sent me the translation

and I'll be happy to add it to this post.

Besides all the eating I did this past two weeks

I also managed to squeeze some crafty time in.

A new doll. She asked me for some polkadot shoes....

And who am I to say no...



Have a good start of January's first week!

drinking tea

Enjoy your weekend!



See you again on Monday.

Sandy's girl

She said goodbye, I said goodbye, kisses, followed by a few tears.....
and there she goes!



She took her quilt along.



Thank you Sandy for your patience!

ps. I made a good start on cleaning up my craftsroom. I've folding up fabrics and sorted things out. Thanks for all your wonderful sugestions and tips. I put some in good use allready!! If you like you still have time to enter the giveaway.

I'm so happy! Annie is the cutest doll ever, I absolutely love her! She's wearing a beautiful dress and has pretty curly red hair. She also wears cute little bloomers under her dress. Sandy, your little Annie is so adorable, you have such an eye for detail. Thank you so much!!

Dutch Sunday

Cross-stitch couple in Dutch costume. They are part of a large wallhanger.



Two thrifted windmills. I love the dutch blue one!



Tulips on a little girls apron.



And little Dutch girl, I start sewing her today. She's waiting for a face and two legs and her arms aren't stuffed yet. But when she's finished I'll have to kiss her goodbuy. This little Dutch girl is going to the U.S to life with Sandy and her cute dolls.



Last photo has non Dutch links what so ever....I just like this plant on my windowsill.



It's called a lidcactus in Dutch, not sure what de English name for this plant is.
