Advent Calendar!

As promised, I'd show you what I'm been
doing lately.

Mercedes asked me a while ago, if I would like
to do an advent calandar swap with her and of
course I immediately said,YES!

We also wanted to surprise Sylvia and agreed
to make her one too! Mercedes sent her part of
the gifts and I made a guirlande for both of them.

This week I received my calendar from Mercedes,
and Oooh it's such a feast...can't hardly wait till it
is the 1th of December.

As I like to decorate my home at Christmas

time with whites and silver, the calendar is just

perfect! I hung it in front of my mirror in the

living room.

This is the calendar I have made for Mercedes and Sylvia.

On Sylvia's blog you can see how long it actually is. It was

fun making it, but much more fun for them to open the bags

for 26 days! (we added some extra,LOL)

Presents!

Despite the fact I'm still very busy with my
1:1 life, I've managed to make heaps of new
mini's.

The mini's I've made are not for myself, but for 2
dear friends. I can not give away to much, because
it will ruin the surprise. Soon I will tell you all about it!?!


Last week Karin came to visit me and we had so
much fun...there were also presents for me!




Look at all these Christmas goodies....can't
wait till it's Christmas!

I also got some nice mail from Sylvia....she

made me this wonderful patch work (knitted)

blanket. I will use it in a new project (again),

later I will tell you all about it!

If all goes well, the comming time I will have

more time for my mini hobby. I hope to post

more often en visit your wonderful blog's more

often too. I'm sorry that I recently fail at commenting

on your blog's and I hope I did not disappoint any

of you???

She is amazing!

As some of you know Sylvia is my dearest friend,
and she always surprises me with the most fantastic
mini gifts!!!!!

Look what she sent me, a basket filled
with wool and knitting needles...isn't that cute?
She also sent me all kinds of pieces fabric, I will
use them to fill a cupboard in my Provence house.



But there was much more, she knitted me a
hat and scarf....WAUW! Sylvia realy amaze
me everytime, she is so clever and can make
anything she puts in her mind!



And how nice does it look, with the duffle
coat Lissette made me!!!!

Arnhem Miniature Fair!

Yesterday Sylvia and I went to the Arnhem
miniature show.....and we had a great time!

Of course I spent way to much money, but
that is the way it goes.....

I also received some wonderful gifts.




This little basket, Sylvia wickered for me,
beleive me the picture does not do justice to
the perfection of it!



We also met Lissette, she made this wonderful
Duffle coat and toys....I'm realy in heaven!
I love the little details on the coat, the buttons
are amazing!




And these are all of my purchases.....some gifts for friends,
a lot of kits and some other wonderful items for my projects.

Later I will show all the items separately......I also will show
some more gifts I received from Sylvia's Lutje Boudel
and Janny- Art of Mini, but firts I have to make these
wonderful kits!

Magazine!

As I told you all, there is not much happening in
mini live for me at the moment, but there are
still some things I wanted to share with you.


Two weeks ago I went to see my friend
Karin, and as always we had so much fun
together. She had prepared us a wonderful
lunch and she also spoiled me with some
wonderful gifts.

The little penguin she bought for me in Venice,
it is very small and so cute!

Thanks again, Karin...x!


These are some things I purchased at a
jumble sale....

And then there is some other news!!!

My little kitchen is published in a Dutch

Dollshouse magazine: Poppenhuizen & Miniaturen.

5 Pages....wow! It gives me a sense of pride.

Absence!

Hi, all of you!

If you will have noticed I have been absent for a while.
Unfortunately I have no time for Minies at the moment
and I fear this will continue for now. I am simply to busy
with my business right now and I need to focus on it.


Of course I do regret that there is no time for minies and
than it is so nice to receive mini gifts!
Look at this fabulous stich work Sylvia made me!!!
No cold feet when the lady of the Provence house gets out
of bed.

Dank je Syl...xxx!

Late Birthday Surprise!

My dear friend Mercedes, has spoiled me
rotten with wonderful late Birthday gifts!



The gifts were beautifully wrapped and it was
a pleasure to open.



There was a beautiful crown shaped candle
holder in it and the cuttest bird cage I have
ever seen....now I have two!
One for the dollshouse and one for my own
house....how cute is that!

Go to Mercedes blog, to see more wonderful

pics!

Thank you again dear friend, you are the best!

I also would like to apologize for my absence, but

I am currently very bussy with 1:1 scale projects.

I am sorry to say that I even have no time to do

some blogging and read all your beautiful blogs and

provide them with comment.....

Till I have more time for blogland, I will miss you....!
