Hello all my blogger-friends

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I had a very busy time, filled with lots of eating, drinking and celebrating. I had all my family for Christmasday and everything went well. We had too much to eat and my poor fridge was so full. It was a very hot day, so after chickenpie,lamb and salads, and TRIFLE ♥ we just wallowed in the pool.  Next year we are goiing to eat less LOL. It was so special to have all the family together.

It was also my sister's birtday on Christmasday. My dear daughter baked the delicious chocolate  cake.

This picture is of my mom with all her grandchildren. A very special picture.

A break from my blog

May you be blessed by a wonderful Christmas and may all your dreams come true in 2011. Thanks for visiting my blog.

A HAPPY DAY

I had a lovely day today. I sat in my studio and did preparation work for my klosjes.I loved playing with lots of scraps that my friends gave me.  It was so hot outside, so I had a swim with my daughter. Then a friend phoned and said she is on her way to me, bringing one of her dearest friends to meet me. We had a great time having lunch and drinking Mojitos!!!! What a happy day it turned out to be!!! And I got help with my blog. What will the world be without friends to brighten a day!!!!!!!

Me and hubby went to our beachhouse for 4 days without the kids. Bliss. No pets.No moaning. Just the 2 of us. We slept late, walked along the beach, read, he played gholf while I sewed on a binding for a quilt. It was so peaceful.We also got our house ready as we are renting it out for the holidays. Now we are home again. I will collect my best friend ( My Bernina) as she went for her annual check-up. Hope you have a blissful day ♥

my sewing room

This is where I enjoy myself most days. The big cupboard I traded with an old lady that lives next to my mom. She had it in her garage for years. When my mom saw it, she knew I would love it. I gave her a quilt in exchange. I enjoyed every minute sorting all my stuff. There is a drawer for threads, ribbons,needles, scissors,tools,templates and many drawers for my stash, all sorted in colours.( Sorting is my thing :) )

The small cupboard is filled with my quilting books and magazines. I love to listen to music while sewing. And I have a lovely view of our garden. Hope you enjoyed visiting me,I'll go make a cup of tea. xx
