tropical monday

Today was a hot day. Temperatures above 30 degrees celcius.
Fortunately I had the afternoon off from work.
I enjoyed myself with coffee, chocolate and crochet.

I'm totaly into the grannies!
I find it so relaxing.
Some of you asked what yarn I use for crocheting.


This is what I use.
Schachenmayr Nomotto Tapisserlegarn. This wool is moth free. I love crocheting with many different colors in random order.


Many thanks to each of you for stopping by and leaving those lovely comments on the giveaway post.
Out all the names Luca picked a winner.

24 squares

Were needed for this bag.

and a scalloped edge...
The bag isn't quite finished yet.
It needs a lining and straps and a button to close the bag.
But to have an idea on how it will look when finished
I pinned straps and a button on.


I think it looks colorful, just the way I like it.


But now I need help with the lining...
So Heleen please help me!


Have a lovely weekend everyone.See you monday when I announce a winner.
Groeten, Corry

Fabric combinations

Hallo everyone,

This morning I found this bird.

Not to expensive, so I spoiled myself.

In my fabriccloset I have a box with fabric combinations,

some I bought myself

some were a gift

Well, I do not know if you recognize this,

but often I take a set in my hands and think

"now I'm going to use them"

then a few minutes later,

after feeling and looking at the fabrics,

I put them back to wait for an even better idea...

But I do enjoy looking and feeling my lovely little fabric combinations!

Like I love making and searching combinations for new bags.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

A big surprise....

In our garden just behind the climbing hydrangea,

we found a big surprise.

This large wasp's nest!

We found it a bit scary first,

but if you look closely at it you see that it is a work of art.

There even are larvae in the nest, but we don't want more wasp's

so my hb removed the nest.

In the kitchen we don't have wasp's but great flowers,

And the new Flow on the kitchentable.

What a great cover!

Time to stop blogging and start reading!

Or sewing?

Dutch houses, 2

When I started making the house bag

I thought only to make one.

But I managed to make two,

They are almost the same,

Now I'm out of houses and I think I'll get started with a flowerbag.

Have a wonderful start of the week.

Dutch houses

I love the old Dutch houses, old farm houses,

village houses

but I sure love the old houses from

Amsterdam and other old Dutch city's.

The different roof gables are great.

Now I was lucky and found these embroidered houses!

Can't wait to start sewing a new bag.

Groetjes Heleen
