Long Time No See!

Hello all!

It's been a long time ago since I've posted on my blog.
There are some reasons but I'm not going to bother you
with a long boring story!



Anyway, there are still great things I need to show you all.
I am terribly spoiled at Christmas time. Some very sweet people
have make me very happy! It is outrageous of me that I have
waited till now to show you some pictures of these beautifull
gifts but In Holland they say: " Better late than never!"







The first gift I got was the Christmas swap from the
very talented Kim!

She has painted this beautiful box herself, I really love
the colors.The box was already a gift in itself, but in it
some wonderfull treasures were hidden.Two very sweet
Christmas trees and five of the most cutest Christmas
stockings that I've ever seen . They are embroidered,
really beautiful!



Thank you so much again Kim for this gift and Rosanna,
thank you for making this happen,X!





The next gift I received from sweet Mercedes!


She manages every time to make me so happy
with her beautiful surprises!She is the best friend
you can imagine, and not just for the gifts! She's just
a very sweet person with her heart in the right place.
I think it is needless to say that everything she makes
is so beautiful and that I treasure it for life.



There were also very nice gifts for Ilayda made by Mercedes
and send to her by Liberty.
These things have got a place in her bedroom and if you are
curious?......... click here!






Then there was another huge surprise send by Sylvia!


She asked me if I wanted to work together on a roombox
for Mercedes, we would send her for Christmas and her bithday.
Of course I wanted to participate, and especially thanks to Sylvia
it has become a wonderful piece of art.I really was in love
with this roombox,because it was so beautiful!


I'd never dared dreaming that she also secretly had made one
for me! You will understand that I was completely overwhelmed
by this great gift! Words came short and I only could create some
strange noises with my mouth.


Needless to say that the pictures do not do justice to how
beautiful it really is.I look at it every day and can not get enough
of it!

X,Sab!

Let it snow,let it snow,let it snow!

I've already managed to decorate one Christmas

tree,now it is time to decorate the real one,haha!

It seems,we will have a white Christmas this year...

Past Christmas!

I have nothing to show you new because I simply can not
find the time to do any mini's,but as yet I wanted to show
you this wreath I made a few years ago....

Candle snuffer!

Last Christmas a friend of my made me some wonderfull

candles,that gave me the idea to make a candle snuffer,

to put out the little candles. I looked at my own candle

snuffer to give me some inspiration.....

Today my eyes catched a beautifull purchase Susanna did....

A candle snuffer exactly the same I made....I was all forgotten

about it and had to look for it.If I had known this earlier I could

have saved her some money...sorry!

So, to save the rest of you some money..look at the pics!

Fun Time With Karin!

At this foto the sticks were not finished yet,they
were to long and they needed some finishing touch.

Last Thusday we had our montly meeting

with Karin,it was so great to see her again.

We talked a lot and had so much fun,Karin

prepared us a delicious lunch...it was just

perfect. She also prepared a workshop,

how to make a pair of skis!

Thank you Karin for this fantastic day!

Still trying to improve!

So weird,sometimes you can be so happy with
the results of something you have been doing,
and you think "it really can not be better",but
a few weeks later you think"is this all I could
come up with?" That is exactly what is happening
to the pantry.Now I can see what improvements
can and should be done! First I changed the bakers
rack and now I make look the fence door a little bit
more used.

The next thing I'm going to do is tiling the walls....

Never Satisfied!

There is always something you can change,make
it look better! Like this metal kitchen cabinet/hutch.
(what is it anyway?)

I thought it looked too new and it would
be nicer if I painted it in a different color.
What do you think,better or shall I.......?
