ATELIER SOED IDEE

Natuurlijk heb ik ook het nodige geborduurd tijdens de vakantie! Heerlijk, in de schaduw onder een boom of 's avonds als DH (Duitse) TV zat te kijken. Hieronder zie je alle affo's. Of course I did some stitching during my holiday! Under a tree in the shade and at night while DH was watching German televison.

I bought a birdhouse cartonage package over a year ago. But it was still lying in my closet, collecting dust... Untill someone showed me a picture of the finished houses! So I digged them out, together with some scraps, buttons and ribbon. And here's the result: Aren't they cute??? Hugs, Simone

I was getting worried about my Feathered Friends exchange. Because I still hadn't heard that it was arrived. But when I took a look at Joan's blog I found out she received it almost two weeks ago! Well this is what I've made for Joan: Design: "Blue Bird" from "Spring Patches" leaflet, Homespun Elegance Fabric: 28 ct. linen band Floss: DMC Finish: ornament / hanger Yesterday I received my return- crazy -exchange from Carol . She sent me this wonderful fob (what else?) and a chart from my wishlist: The funny thing about this fob is, that I received an almost similar fob from Cathy just a while ago!!! Look here.... Speaking of birds... We had a nest of titmouses in one of the birdhouses. And the babies are out now! Isn't it cute???

The new photo challenge for the Crazy exchange group is Black and White. So I photographed my birdhouses in B/W: But, I think my flowers deserve some color!

Hi all, I'm home again, from a wonderful vacation in France. We had great weather, so we didn't do much... ;) I hardly didn't stitch either! It was too hot, or too windy, or too late in the evening... Instead of that I read two books of Jennifer Chiaverini (Round Robin and Cross Country Quilters). On May 4th it was my Birthday and it was fun to celebrate it on the camping, together with my family and some other camping-guests. Here I am opening Janaina's Birthday exchange for the Crazy exchange group. And these are the pretty things Janaine sent me from Brasil: She made me a perfectly stitched tea-towel (you should see the backside, it's so neat!). And add some Anchor threads, linen, quiltfabrics and other goodies. Thank you Janaina! This is the beautiful exchange I received from Pascale from our Borduurhoekje group: She made me a quilted wallhanging and 3 cute little birds, and sent a book with Christmas charts, some threads and a little birdhouse. Thanks Pascale!...

On our Dutch "Borduurhoekje" we've organized a birdhouse exchange. Since birdhouses are my favourite, the best exchange for me to join! This is what I've made for Rita: Design: "Birdhouse trio, Watchful eyes" from Homespun Elegance Floss: DMC Fabric: 28 ct. Linen band from Vaupel & Heilenbeck Finish: flatfold And here's is what I received from Carin : A beautiful made pillowcover! I just love the fabric she used for it ;)

When we were visiting the craftmarket a month ago, my friend and I fell for this cute birdhouse (you might now that I'm a birdhouse collector) at Jookies . It looked very simple so we've decided to reproduce this. Yesterday we spent the afternoon together and started it, and now it's finished! Finally a good reason to remove my Christmas wallhanging from my living room wall ;)

Today I received this great exchange from Neila ! It's the scissorfob exchange from Hooked on exchanging . Neila made me a really cute fob with a birdhouse on it (over one). She sure did some investigation of my likes ;) She also addes some handdyed wool velt, some candybars (yummie), a little duck and some postcards from Minnesota. Thanks Neila!!!
