ATELIER SOED IDEE

My new little friend "Moos" is now all dressed up for his first Christmas! Isn't he the cutest?

I just got a message from Denise that she received my Christmas Ornament! I'm glad it arrived and that I can show the pics now! Design: "Emblem of Friendship" by Cherished Stitches, JCS Christmas Ornaments Issue 2006 Fabric: 28 ct. Jobelan Christmas Red Floss: DMC 4045 Finish: Pinkeep, ornament

He's still a bit naked, but here's Bep 's Moose! Isn't he cute??? Tomorrow I'll make him some clothes, so he will be ready for Christmas! I have a question for my readers... Is there someone who wants to knit him a red scarf? I do a lot of crafting, but I can't knit :( And I think this little moose definitely needs a scarf!

Here's my score from the visit of the Wol- en Handwerkbeurs (Craft-market) in Rijswijk, last Saturday: I did my best ;) The linen band in the front (white/natural stripes) is for Fanci That's "Shaker Village", which I got in the Autumn Exchange from Cathy. A few little patterns. Great for exchanges! I love the warm colors of this linen! Ofcourse I had to visit Bep and couldn't leaf without some stuff... And here is part 3 and 4 of the Stitchers Tray from Maryse:

Look at this! Isn't that gorgeous??? I received this package from Cathy B. for the Autumn-part of the Seasonal exchangers. And I love it all!!! Autumn is definitely my favorite season. Cathy made me this wonderful flat fold with a Homespun Elegance design and the nice fabric on the back. She also included a pair of Gingher scissors "Lanell" with a complimentary design for a Scissor pocket from The Cat Whiskers. And a leaflet from Fanci That "Shaker Village" from my wishlist. And on top of all of that, there is also a small wooden broche. This package was such a pleasure to receive and to open up!!! Cathy sure knows what I like! Thank you Cathy, you've made my weekend!

Today I received this Birdhouse ornament in the mail from Elza. She has sent it, to thank me for organizing the Christmas Ornament exchange. Isn't that sweet? She also enclosed a Jeremiah Junction leaflet with lots of birdhouses. Elza knows what I like ;) Elza, thank you so much for this sweet surprise!

Today we have such poor wetter here in Holland :( It's dark, grey, rainy, cold... Good wetter for a large pot of tea, some candles and a Christmas quilt that has to be finished! So that's what I did this afternoon, and now my wall hanging is completely finished. This is my absolute favorite Atelier Bep -pattern! Mainly because of the moose, which I adore ;) Today I also sent two Christmas ornaments to their new homes. I hope my exchange partners like them! Just one more exchange to finish and then I'm done with the exchanges for this year! Thank you all for reading my blog and your nice comments. I sure appreciate them! Hugs, Simone
