Eindelijk/At last
Early this summer my df Ria of Grandma's Kitchen (see link in the sidebar) started her surpriseparcels (you can read all about these on her weblog) Of course I've joined this fun and I finished miniquilt #1 pretty quickly, except for the little hard and the loops to hang it from. But now at last it's finished, which is just as well, I still have #2 to do and it won't be long before she'll be sending off #3. Thanks Ria, for these great little surprise quilts.

De Naaidoos,Sherbet Bag & Amy Butler
Last week, some of the girls took me too De Naaidoos. Wow, was I impressed, I was spoilt for choice, what a nice place and what great service!! I ended up picking some fabric for the "Sherbet" bag by Melly and me.
Ik koos deze prachtige Amy Butler stoffen (ik kende haar eerder door het scrapbookpapier) en deze roze/bruine combi.
I picked these beautiful Amy Butler fabrics (I only knew her scrapbooking paper) and a pink/brown combination.
Verder heb ik nog wat spelden en voeringstoffen gehaald, ik was als een kind so blij.
I also bought some pretty pins and lining material, yep, I was a happy bunny

Creatieve dag/Creative day
's Middags ben ik met mijn vriendin Petra (je weet wel van het Keltisch Midzomerfestival) wezen borduren, jaja, we delen meer dan onze liefde voor de kelten. Ik heb al mijn lopende borduurwerkjes opgeborgen en stort me nu op Christmas Stockings, het is welliswaar pas juli, maar voor je er erg in hebt, is het weer december hoor, en die ene kerstsok is al wel heel lang een UFO (unfinished object) en ik moet een dezer dagen ook aan de kerstsiggies beginnen dus ja, ik zit al een beetje in de kerstsfeer.
Na het avondeten had ik nog steeds last van creatieve kriebels, dus ik heb vanavond nog 3 blokken voor mijn quiltje gemaakt. Ik was eerst van plan om 9 blokken te maken, maar ik heb genoeg stof om wat uit te breiden, dus het worden 16 blokken, ik heb er nog 5 te gaan, maar in de tempo zou dat morgen of overmorgen klaar moeten zijn.
Door het slechte licht vandaag heb ik nog geen foto's maar die hoop ik morgen wel te kunnen maken en plaatsen.
As uncreative as I was last week, today was completely to opposite. It started with my quilting morning with Ria. We had a break for a couple of weeks due to her visitors but today we could quilt and chat together again and I finished 2 blocks for my crazy patchwork quilt.
The afternoon I spent x-stitching with my friend Petra, we do share more than our love for Kelts in Kilts LOL. I've put away all my ongoing x-stitch projects and am focusing on christmas stockings at the moment. They've been lying around way too long.
After my dinner I could still feel the creative buzz in my blood so I made 3 more blocks for my quilt. Initially I was going to make 9 blocks, but as I have more than enough fabric, I've decided to make 16 blocks, only 5 more to go now.
Due to the bad natural light today I didn't take any pictures, I hope to do this tomorrow and will post them then.

SPELDENKUSSEN
Years ago I got this cute pincushion (I think it was my mum who gave it to me) and although I still think those little chinese are very funny, I'll have to say goodbye to them. The material of the pincushion is so hard, I can hardly get a pin in!
I decided to make my own pincushion. At the moment I'm working on a crazypatch quilt and Ria downsized the pattern for me so I could make a little pincushion with my scrapt. Personally I think it's a cute little pincushion.

Ria's eerste verrassingochtend
Verder heb ik op mijn andere weblog een nieuwe LO gezet met foto's van Anita Mundt, genomen tijdens de "beruchte" foto-shoot van mijn dochter en haar beste vriendin.
On my other blog you can see another Layout I made with some of the shots taken by Anita Mundt, during the infamous photoshoot of my dd and her bf.

Tuinfair Eelderwolde
Last saturday I went to a gardenfair in Eelderwolde, it also had a quiltexhibition with some beautiful works of art. I discovered that I really like the fabrics by Kaffe Fasset and I'm pretty sure I'll make a quilt with these fabrics one day.
Als kattenliefhebster kun je hier niet omheen natuurlijk!
Being a catlover I couldn't resist this one of course!
This one is just gorgeous and amazing.
En wat dacht je hiervan voor "good luck"
A pond full of "good luck" charms
