I participated in a heart swap on the picasa forum. Joy was my partner and look at the wonderful hearts she made me. This is the front

and this is the back, cute huh!

this heart smells so wonderful of lavender

And these are the hearts I made for Joy.

This heart is made from the pattern that I found on a wonderful blog called http://cindycountryhome.blogspot.com

I also made a small heart for pins and I included a fake buxus heart in the swap but silly me forgot to take photo's of those items.

At the moment I'm crocheting these granny squares. It's a wonderfull thing to do when I'm watching tv, sitting in the garden or in the car.
I'm only using these 3 coloures.
I noticed on a couple of other blogs some more granny squares in lovely green and purple colours and I'm thinking of using those colours in another granny square blanket.

I'm also working on a lovely stitchery that I found on a lovely blog

http://cindycountryhome.blogspot.com

It's really worth a visit.

There are also other projects that I'm working on but I still have to make photo's of those.

Hopefully I can find sometime to do that tomorrow.

On sunday 24th May we had a lovely day with some woman from a wondeful forum of people who love to decorate their houses and gardens.It was absolutely a wonderful day, it was so sunny and we where able to meet lots of wonderful woman of whom some we never had seen before.It was held in a great brocante shop of someone from the forum, it's absolutely amazing, I didn't know where to look first!!!!!!

Here are all the presents waiting. And look at thise tasty pies!

Doesn't it look gorgious! I will definately go back to that shop more.

We each made a gift for someone( we didn't know for who) and this is what I received, so lovely.

And this woman received my present. I made 2 fabric hearts filled with lavender and a soap wreaped in wool.

I have participated in a great bag swap over at snicker doodles dreams.
I received this gorgious bag from Kjerstin.I just love it. Just look at this gorgious stitchery!

And this is at the back.

And she also send me this wonderful bag pattern that I'm soon going to try.

And this is the bag that I made for my partner.

I sure want to make that stitchery again, it's so lovely.

Sorry for the blurry photo's......

I'm a bad blogger I know.
There just isn't much time these days to sit behind the computer and there is also not much to tell and show. But that is going to change now. I finally have made some photo's of our livingroom . But unfortunately there isn't much to see yet because our cupboard and curtains haven't arrived yet. but they will arrive tomorrow and then we can start to decorate the walls, yippie!!!!!

Here are some photo's I have taken.
A close up from a lovely bouqet of flowers I have bought.

This is our livingroom table.

A flower arangement I made.

We have 2 of these, they are very comfortable and once you sit in them you don't want to get up anymore.

The brown cupboard and the church chair have moved with us, the other seat is new and we also have 2 of it.

The tv cupboard is also new.

The cupboard that arrives tomorrow is also white. As you can see it's a bit different then we had in our other house. I love this style very much.

I try to be back soon with more photo's of our house and new neighbourhood.

I'm finally back on my blog again . These lat couple of weeks we have been very busy at our new house and hopefully we can move in within 2 weeks.Then we have to get our old house ready for it's new owners.
I guess that will be an emotional day for me since we lived here for 20 years. But we're also all looking forward to move in our new house.
Here are some new photo's.
This is the front. the light bricks are going to painted white as soon as the weather gets better, then they also have to paint the frames of the windows and doors. Our front door.

The back.

Our neighbours at the back, these houses aren't finished yet.

This was taken last week.

The front door.

Our garden doors and on the floor you can see the first layer of wood and yesterday and today they put in a wonderful aged looking oak floor.

The front.

I really hope to be back soon and then from our new home.

It has been a while since I was here so let me start by wishing you all the best for 2009. I hope it will be a wonderful year for everyone!

At the moment we're busy getting rid of lots of things we don't use anymore and we also started packing! Instead of somewhere in April our house will be ready in the second or third week of Februar!!!!! And we're allready half way through Januar.
So this is going to be a busy but fun time for us and we're all looking forward to living in our new house.
This is how our house looks like at the moment.The part with the lighter stones will be painted white somewhere in Spring. The house on the right is ours by the way.

We had some lovely winter weather here lately. It has been a long time since it was this cold so that we could skate. Even though I just love this weather I was hoping it would get warmer.So that they can continue on our house. How selffish of me Ü.

Oh, and here is a photo of me. Not a great one but I wanted to post some photo's here and as I don't have many recently photo's.......

And my oldest daughter Desiree made us dinner last week and she also made this gorgious dessert! It doesn't only look great, it also tastes great!!!!!
