Flowers,

Heleen

Fresh flowers on the kitchentable always gives a great

and welcome feeling.

This time the tulips are so pretty!

(and they were real cheep)

They even inspired me to start a new bag.

Of course, one with flowers!

color a winterday

Evening all. How was your first day of the week?

It's been a dark drizzly day here.

Therefor.......

I desperatly could use some color.

Like these red tulips on my kitchen counter,

i brought home with me from the grocery shop.

I had a day of from work so..

i cut these pretty fabrics in stripes and then

placed myself behind the sewing machine.

to sew blocks.

such a fun job to do on a cold drizzly day like today

I saw this beautiful quilt here that inspired me. 

I think it looks wonderful so far.

The colors certainly make me smile.

see you soon!

Groeten, Corry

What's in the box?

heleen

What's in the box?

No, it's not my box. It's now our mothers box.

She's crocheting grannies.

She already has these, enough for a pillow.

But maybe she'll make two, one for Corry and one for me!

The next comming weeks she'll have plenty of time.

(hopefully energy too)

The pillow Janine made me for the swap, cheers up my mother

Yes, our mother broke her ankle. Very inconvennient, especially for her.

But we do everything to help her and cheer her up!

And hopefully she'll be riding her bike again soon.

So until than, what better for her to do than making lovely grannies!

Have a nice sunday,

Dutch fabric quilt

Heleen

Just finished this square quilt in Dutch fabrics.

It has been waiting a while to be finished.

I used Dmc yarn and large stitches to quilt.

I know it's not a very complicated quilt,

but I think it turned out all right!

The third monday of january

by corry

is according to the statistics the most depressing day of the year. They even have a name for today, "blue monday". And although monday is not my favorite day of the week I certainly didn't feel blue today!

No time to feel blue.

You see.. I found these bright ideas in this month country living issue that kept me busy.

Busy in making plans that is.

This list inspired me to make my own interpretation.

Plan 1. pretty pinboard.

The focal point in my craftsroom are these two boards.

Two Simple straight forward ikea boards.

I think they would be so much prettier in plain white.

Plan 2. Storage solution.

Boxes..lots of them!

I keep all my projects in boxes on shelfs.

This one is from AH supermarket

Plan3. Patchwork throw.

I want to make a bright and colorful simple quilt

These small Kaffe Fassett collection is perfect to start with.

I prefer to use an easy to (machine) sew pattern.

triangles.....

Note: ofcourse these are todays plans..
Who knows what the plans are for tomorrow??!!

A little ashamed,

Hi everyone,

Yes I'm a little ashamed that I didn't show you this pillow from the pillowswap more early.

But I hope you'll forgive me.. guess I wanted to keep this beautifull pillow just for myself a little while.

This pillow made by Sarah from Roxy creations is stunning!!

Look at all the perfect made detaills,

I'm in love with the cat!

The detaills of the flowers, doors and windows are beautifull.

Sarah I love the pillow you made, every little detail!

Dear Sarah Thank you so much!!!

Your pillow gives me joy everytime I look at it!

Groetjes Heleen

ps. I wish you all a happy, creative, healthy 2011!!

Monday

by corry

Thank you so much for your warm and reassuring comments.

Well, I did clean up my craftsroom. Makes me wonder...

how come cleaning up a mess always takes longer then make one?

Then when the space was tidy..  

I took a good look at the colors in the basket and slowly a smile came into my crafting heart. 

The red and white flower roll was just perfect for making a bird.

So here is what I made...

A lovebird with a big heart.

Have a wonderful day,

Groeten, Corry

something to cheer me up

by corry

I think I definitely caught it...the January blues!!

No creative input or output lately. It feels like I'm stuck with two left hands.

Is there a cure, a medicine? ..

Yes, there is!!

Lots of colors and fabric..

And flowers ofcourse!

Maybe an early spring cleaning will help too?

Or at least tidy up my craftsroom!

Enjoy your weekend.

Groeten, Corry
