ATELIER SOED IDEE

Today I received this beautiful mailart from Verona. It's from an exchange of our Dutch Borduurhoekje. Verona knows I like birdhouses and also spoiled me with some Christmas goodies! Thank you Verona!!!

This morning the mailwoman delivered me this wonderful Teatime-mailart from Charlotte! It's so pretty! I love the cute little tea-cup buttons, the silk ribbon, and the design Charlotte stitched is just perfect. In the envelope were a lot of goodies; a little piece of soap, marking pins, paper to stitch on, some fibers.... I'm feeling special, to receive this presents from a stitching-friend. Especially when you know that Charlotte has some problems with her hand. It was very hard for her to stitch this! But it was definitly worth the waiting. Charlotte forgot to include the teabags... But that envelope also came today, so it all came together after all! Charlotte thank you so much for this lovely mailart!!! Hugs, Simone

Hi all! Finally some time to post some pics here! It's a busy time these last few days before summer-vacation. Tomorrow is the last schoolday for DS! And than we have 6 weeks without the alarm ringing in the morning! Whoohoo! It's been a while since my last post and I have a lot to show you. First of all, my Teatime mailart for the Stitchedmailart-group. I've made this teacozy for Marie-Antoinette, and filled it with tea-goodies. She told me she really likes it! On the Dutch "Borduurhoekje"-group we had a Summer-exchange. We could make each other anything, as long it had something to do with Summer. So I made my friend Jacqueline this wallhanging. And Amarins made me this great set of towel and washcloth, along with some wonderful goodies. Yesterday was my mother's 60st Birthday. We had a great day in Kalenberg , Weerribben ("Dutch Venice"). I had no idea what I should give her, untill she was in our house last Saturday. She totally fell in love wit...

Boy, do I have a lot to show you! First of all these cute babies. I've received them as the July-package from the package of the month-club from Atelier Bep . They were quickly finished and now living in my stitching room! Aren't they cute? Heard from Bianca that she received my mailart in her new home in Assen. It's for the summer-mailart exchange from "Borduurhoekje". Because of her new house I stitched her a Beach-cottage. And finally.... I can show some progress on HAED's Merlin & Arthur again! Because of all the exchanges and other WIP's, I didn't work on it for a long time. But I'm determined to finish a whole page this time! To see the progress click here . And this is my newest WIP: Bent Creeks "Red Thread-snapper serie". I've finished the first block of it. I've decided that it's going with me on vacation! It so much fun to stitch this one! Thank you all for visiting my blog. Hugs, Simone

This morning I received this wonderful Summer-mailart from Iris ! Brought a lot of sunshine to a very wet day!!! I love the bright colors and the flip-flops on the envelope. Iris also made me a fitting card, a keyring and she included a LOT of charms! Thank you so much Iris!
