Happy queensday,

Today I did a litlle thrifting and found

a flower apron and a postcard from 1945

 

This card fits precisely in this time of year.

Tomorrow is Queensday,

and may 5 is liberationday.

 The day we celebrate the end of world war 2.

 

(And how importend it is to have freedom of thought and opinion.)

And I found these stitchery's. I love the litlle bookmark.

 

Now I'm of preparing for tomorrow.

So to you all happy,

Groetjes Heleen

Happy easter

We wish you all a happy easter sunday

 

I'm just setting the table for our easter breakfast,

 

And maybe we'll see the easterbunny hopping in the garden,

 

Don't think this bunny will make it very long...

 

But that is ok, it's easter!

Enjoy

Something came between,

Hallo everyone,
You probably think I'm working on this Dutch fabric quilt...



Well I was.
But something came between.

From the Pays Bas,
Nederland, Dutch country.
I found an embroidery of the Dutch lions

 

And they just match perfectly with the typical
Dutch postbag I found a while ago.

 

And now this SuperDutch bag is finished
there's space in my head to work on the quilt again.
