Studio project this summer.

Our studio.
Before and after!
The real picture and how I want it to become!
I hope we will be able to do this this summer!

With all the rain!!!

spring is in the air! And in the garden, but my garden is a junkyard. :(

First a springly picture and then the ugly ones!
I am not posting this to chase you all away, but just for myself in hope there will be improvement in a couple of weeks!
We almost live here for a year now and it really is time to start working in the garden!
Still all the work has to be done and a lot off work before we can even start!
We have to take out the old hedge before planting a new one etc. etc...

At this moment I feel like I am living in the middle of the street!
Everybody can see right in the house and before we lived all hidden away!

I want this "tucked in feeling" again!!!
HELP!!
Sinds the hedge is gone I don't sleep as good as I used to, could that be?
I have never lived so open in my life!

And the winner is.....

AMANDA MUIS!!!
You have won the blue bear!
Congratulations!!!

Lazy day

I decided to have a lazy day today!I wanted to work in the morning!Realy I did, but it's monday and I have to make a cover for a book and have no scetches fot this and I really am not in the mood. It started snowing again and that took away all my energy I guess. I started of this morning, thinking that I was going to draw, but instead I did all kinds of other things wich I normally do not like either( Like ironing, vacuing)
It's better to leave it for today and make a fresh start tomorrow!
Then I might be working faster to, It's often like that.
So now I have pored me a big cup of coffee in a bunnykins cup and I will post some pictures,
Then I will fill the bathtub, take a bath,

put on the fire while we heat up the leftovers from yesterday and work on a new pattern for a small pussman in the evening, with my hand dyed mohair!(While I watch TV or listen to a book) I am alone tonight and sometimes I really enjoy that! Doing wathever I want.

Mmmm I already long for it!

I made this sweater and it fits him well

This is the strangest creature I have ever made! I will call him Flippy!

I did not use this ink pot today! he he he !!

My doughter is infected to, She made this pinguin for her boyfriend's birthday. Not from a pattern, I think he's cute :)

And the family is growing to fast, I am in urgent need off more costumers or we will have to build an extra room!

 

Empty cup, and now in to the bath!!

Oh I really enjoy this lazy day, hmm!

3 year blog giveaway

Looking at my older posts a few days ago, I was surprised that it is almost 3 years that I have been blogging now, And I liked looking at a few pictures that had been tucked away into my blog archive,
The puppy Milan, our children at easter so much smaller than now, the IItalian villa from the holiday.
there were lots of things that have happend without any blogging about them of course but still I liked my little diary. On the 23 of march it will be 3 years from my first posting, this is the first picture I posted.

 

To celebrate this I want to organise a give away ,

I want to give away my blue  bear, 

GIVE A WAY!!!!
All you have to do is leave me a message and link the giveaway picture to your blog

This is the picture!

This is one of the first bears I have dyed, but I did not have anough dyed mohair to make all her dodyparts so she ended up with a yellow legging,
but she did not mind, after a few lessons at the Antwerp Academy for fashion she made herself a lovely mohair dress with a yoyo flower on it.
Happy as she is she is looking for a new home and a name.
Please make a comment with a name and I will draw a winner on the 23 of march!

 

Good luck!! 

Thanks for all your enthousiasm, but if you want to make a chance in winning the bear you will have to paste the picture, with a link to the give away post, on your blog though!
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!

Sweet Bunny(adopted)

Hi, I have been playing with a new pattern and did some dying and I loved it!
The little one that came out is one of my favorites now and he will stay with me I guess,
I love him to much to sell him.
My little sweet bunnie

the last winter pictures( Let us hope so)

Milan is the only one that doesn't complaine, maybe he doesn't realise that he gets more walks in warmer times.
