new blog!!!

Finally, my new blog is ready to use! I will write in dutch, but there'll be also lots of pictures, so mayby when you don't read dutch it's interesting too. Come have a look!! 

Since I began writing my blog it is consuming all my spare time. Instead of sewing and making things, I write and read blogs. Writing in english is taking much time, and I can't express myself like I want. There is a gap between what I want to tell and what I can write in enplish. I only have four days of three hours each and when my daughter is at home a few stolen moments. So I will write in dutch from now on and maybe move to typepad. Then I hope I have time to do the things I like and write about that.

But anyway, while I didn't write last days, I had time to make a start with this:

The pink and green is woven wool which I painted a dot on with silver paint. The ribbon is silk, colored from orange to purple. And there is a woollen filling.

When it's finished I will show it...

I also finally made the stamp and some labels.

 

I did it!

Ha! I've just sent all the work I made to the press. Pfoe.. that was a couple of days hard work, because it's not work I often do. Although it was easier for me than last time, I still did a lot of searching in books and in the programme for how to make the things I wanted. But here is one of the results. I made two flyers, and a poster. And had to remake letterpaper and enveloppes.

surprise in my mailbox yesterday

Yesterday I found this parcel in my mailbox. It was the give-away from Erna.

Thank You Erna! They are lovely! She made a really nice present of it, look at the pictures!! I returned smiling to my computer, to make a poster from the flyer I showed yesterday. 

flyers

The past days I was busy making this flyer, and one other I'm still working at, for Sonar TC, whose website and logo I designed last year.

at the kaardebol

Last days I've been busy making flyers and a frontpage for a rapport. I'll show them tomorrow when I have a spare moment. But today I was also watching my dauhgter in an old barn with her whole class playing "drie-koningen" (the three kings who came to Jezus when they heard he was born). I made some pictures in the medieval barn.

.

Actually, the barn isn't old at all. It was built a couple of years ago, but just similar to an medieval barn. Beautiful isn't it, with that light through the opening under the roof.

 

They had placed cuplights on a bar and a lantern in between. It was fairy-like. And in the middle of the room there was a big open fire with wooden seats around where all parents could sit and watch our children play for us...

skating

It has been fifteen years since I was on skates, and that was not the best experience. I can't skate at all. But now I thought this is the time to teach my children how to skate. Who knows when there willl be ice again. Maybe it will take another 12 years... And I always liked the days with my family on the ice.

So we picked up two pair of very old skates at our family's and went to the canal nearby. 

Well... as you can see my son and I were holding eachother and were crawling over the ice. You can't call it skating, but we did have fun!!!
