ATELIER SOED IDEE

Ik had nog wat kadootjes gemaakt, die ik hier niet had laten zien. I've made some presents, I didn't show here yet. Vickie , mijn Advent SWAP partner, is gek op roze... Vickie , my Advent SWAP partner, likes pink... En deze heb ik mijn moeder voor Sinterklaas gegeven. Mijn moeder spaart muizen namelijk. And this one I gave my mother for Sinterklaas.

We hebben het weer overleefd.... ;) We hebben een rustige kerst gehad. 1e Kerstdag kwamen mijn ouders eten en verder waren we met z'n drietjes. Dus geen kerststress hier!

And I love the LHN design Tineke used for it. Tineke, thank you also for this great exchange! And here's what came out of the big box from Sonda , for the SBBC: Sonda made a "Christmas-in-May" present of it! So there was a Just Nan chart, DMC gold thread, a package of Kreinik metallics, a finishing fabric, napkins, a planner, lots of DMC varigated threads (which I didn't had yet) and this gorgeous Christma...
