Finally some things to show you! On our Dutch Borduurhoekje group we had an Autumn / Halloween exchange. I chose for the Autumn theme, because I have nothing with Halloween (sorry). This is what I received from Willeke this morning: She stitched "Acorn Hill" from LHN and finished it into a wallhanging. I really like it! And look at the back, I just love that fabric! (do you have some leftovers Willeke?) Here's what I made for Elza . She also chose the Autumn theme. Design: "Wee One Autumn Bird" - Heart in Hand Fabric: 36 ct.

Snowman

With all the "FBI-projects" going on, I can't show you much of what I'm doing lately. But last week I've made this cute little snowman. Originally it was also for an exchange, but I think it's kind of big for a Christmas Ornament ;) And DS really loved it, so he wants to keep him! Now I started stitching an ornament for the exchange. Hugs, Simone

This morning the doorbell ringed and the mailman handed over a big envelop to me! I knew there was a crazyexchange on it's way to me and this was finally it. The package was from Marne ! She made me this beautiful Autumn tablerunner: And added a lot of nice extra's too it! And on the back is the cutest turkey! Thank you so much Marne! I really like what you've made for me!!! Have a nice weekend! Hugs, Simone

I had TWO Happy Dance's this weekend!!! On Saturday evening I finished the Christmas Row from Bent Creek. I really liked this design and it was a quick stitch! And it's for ME again :D I think I'm going to finish it into a long pillow. And the second Happy Dance was Sunday afternoon, when I've put the last stitches in the binding of my Sheep-quilt! DH spent the rest of the afternoon under the new blankie, taking a nap ;) I've made the quilt with all different kinds of red fabric from my favourite store Atelier Bep . And for the back I used all the leftovers! The quilt is now tumbling around in the washing machine, so keep your fingers crossed, that it comes out the way it went in... I have several Christmas exchanges to work on, so I started the first yesterday evening. I hope I can show something here in between. Hugs, Simone

This summer we hang a squirrel feeding house in our tree. In summer we don't see many squirrels, but now they finally discovered that there is food in the house!

Leaves are everywhere

We have the most beautiful Autumn weather over here in the Netherlands! When I look out of my window I see leaves in all kind of colors. This is absolute my favourite season! Except for the acorns and oak leaves that are falling in my backyard... :( There are a lot of them! So I have to rake each day... When I saw this kit from Homespun Elegance, I liked it immediatly and had to stitch it. Finally something finished for me ;) Design: A chill is in the air - Homespun Elegance Fabric: 28 ct. Cashel linen "Sand" Floss: Crescent Colours Finish: Tray So, are you all joining my little Happy Dance, outside, between the falling leaves? A happy weekend to all of you! We're going to enjoy the nice weather. Hugs, Simone
