ATELIER SOED IDEE

Last week I mailed out four exchanges! And of course I get something in return too ;) Today I received this lovely LHN exchange from Marion : She made me the cutest Needlebook: And added some marvelous goodies. Thanks Marion! On the Crazy exchange group we have an Autumn exchange going on. And today I found out that Katrien and I have each other as a partner. Such a big coincedence, because we also received our exchanges on the same day! Here's the exchange I received from Katrien: Katrien made me a wonderful wallhanging! I love the little squirrel on it ;) Thank you, Katrien! Also for the bookmark kit and the floss. And this is the pinkeep I've made for Katrien: Design: Autumn Spots - The Trilogy Fabric: 32 ct. Linen yellow Floss: DMC Finish: pinkeep Tomorrow I'm going to the drawing for the Floss tag. So this is your last chance to join it! Hugs, Simone

I told you to watch out for the next post, because that would be the 200th one. But I've uploaded the pics of Barcelona, and now that became the 200th post... Anyway I want to celebrate my Blogiversary with you! Just a minute ago I finished my first ever Floss tag! It might be a little big for a floss tag ;) But I'm very happy with my first attempt. Because of my Blogiversary I want to give it to one of you. So please leave a comment to this post and you will be in the drawing. The drawing will be October 1st . Design: Fall Squared by Lizzie*Kate Fabric: 28 ct. Graziano Riviera Linen Floss: DMC

We're back from our trip to Barcelona! It was only three days, but it felt like a complete vacation!!!

I offered the chart and leftover threads of LHN's "My Needle's Work", a little while ago. And Tracy was willing to trade with me. She picked out some charts from my wishlist and today a BIG envelope came in the mail! Here's what Tracy had chosen for me: Lucky me! She picked some Homespun Elegance designs for me, my favourite!!! She also added a LHN freebie. Thanks again Tracy! This is my 199th post.... So look out for the next one! But, you'll have to wait a while for that one, because tomorrow we're going to Barcelona for four days! ¡adiós!

Saw this on Su's blog . It's fun!

(Sorry, picture heavy post) I love the flowers that bloom in Autumn! Leaves are already falling from the trees, but the brave Helianthus, Ipomoea and Aconitum are in full glory! The bees love them too! Look at how the ipomoea strangled the gong!

Claudia mailed me that she received my Autumn exchange for her. I can tell from her message that she was really happy with it! ;) I don't have pics from the complete exchange, but I'm sure Claudia will show them. But here is the wallhanging I made for her: Design: Lutin d'automne - Tralala Collection Fabric: 32 ct. natural linen Floss: Victorian Motto Shoppe Hand Dyed Finish: wallhanging I just recently discovered "Tralala Designs" and I really like this French designer!
