ATELIER SOED IDEE

Yesterday I also had my "What's the Buzz"-exchange from the SBEBB-group in my mailbox. I've got this lovely flatfold from Andrea ! Isn't that the cutest??? She also send me great goodies! Floss, fabric, ribbon, cord, chart, quilt-fabric, note-books, chart. All in green/yellow shades or with Bee's on it. Andrea thank you so much for this great exchange. I love the flatfold and I like the goodies a lot!

Today I received this wonderful PIF-gift from Judith . Judith made me some lovely coasters in real Summer-colors! I think I'm not gonna use them... They are too pretty to spoil coffee on! Judith, thank you for your lovely PIF-gift!

I'm home for a few days now, since our vacation and I think it's about time I start blogging again! My father has painted our living-room during our vacation, so when we came home I had to clean everything, wash the curtains, re-arrange the furniture etc. So I think I need another vacation... ;) Before we left, I stitched a little on Victoria Samplers Christmas Village. You can see my progress here . Ofcourse I brought my stitchings with me to Italy, so I show you what I've done there. First of all this little house. A few weeks before our vacation I saw this blog , and decided it would be a perfect project to bring along! So I did... Design: http://www.leschroniquesdefrimousse.com/categorie-1249117.html Fabric: 28 ct. Quaker linen "Golden Tan" Floss: DMC I stitched my Harvest House for the SBEBB-exchange, but I can show it yet. Also have to decide how I gonna finish it. I also brought Bent Creek's Red Thread with me. But I ran out of floss so I couldn't...

Tomorrow morning we're leaving for our vacation. First we'll be here for 5 days. And then we go this great hotel in Sud-Tirol, Italy for 11 days. I've already packed a lot of stitching-projects and I know that there's a little LNS/LQS near our first Pension in Oberammergau! Happy stitching and "Auf Wiedersehen"!!!

I received a mail from Tuula that she has received my Matress Pincushion for the SBEBB exchange. I was a bit worried about it, because usually the post only take 2 days to arrive in Finland and this package took more than a week! But it arrived safe and sound and most important: Tuula likes it a lot! Also the goodies I added were a perfect choice. I recently bought some textiles from an online Brocante shop and I sent Tuula an old towel and some lace. She told me that they fit right into her home! Design: My aunts attic Fabric: 32 ct. Ivory Lugana Floss: DMC 3721

Whoohoo, I'm doing a small happy dance overhere in Vaassen! I've finished page 23 of HAED's Merlin & Arthur! I love the way it turns out, but it's going sooooo s l o w .... If you want to see the progress I've made, please check my M&A-page on my website . Now, I'm going to finish the rest of page 24, which is not that much... On the Dutch "Borduurhoekje"-group we're doing a Christmas in July-Sal. Last weekend we all stitched together on this freebee from Blue Ribbon Designs. And this weekend we're finishing it, each on her own way. I've made mine into a Christmas-ornie with felt.
