Home sweet home

Ik doe voor de eerste keer mee met 'Home sweet home' georganiseerd door Barbara op Barbaramama.  In het kort: op een maandag iets uit je eigen huis 'vieren' en delen met de wereld.  Een favoriet plekje, een gekoesterd voorwerp,... we vergeten soms hoe speciaal ons eigen (t)huis is!  En, wie neemt er nu niet graag een kijkje bij iemand anders?  Of zoals Barbara het zo grappig zegt: een beetje gluren bij de buren...

I'm taking part with 'Home sweet  home' for the first time.  This is being organised by Barbara on Barbaramama.  To explain it briefly: once a week, on a Monday, we 'celebrate' something out of our own home and share it with the world.  A favourite little spot, a treasured object,... we sometimes forget how special our own  homes are!  And, who doesn't like to have a little peek in someone else's house?


Het is eind november en vandaag kan je de winter in de droge, koude lucht voelen.  Op zo'n dag steek ik het vuurtje aan en kan je buiten het hout ruiken - puur genieten.

It's the end of November and you can feel the winter in the dry, cold air.  On a day like today I like to get the fire going and the smell of wood fills the air outside the house - I love that.

    Leuk je eerste bijdrage!

    Heerlijk hoor zo'n knapperend vuurtje. Wat mij betreft hét ultieme Home sweet home gevoel!

    Love it! Geweldig zo'n plekje. Wij hebben een nep haard. Die vlamt en warmt wel maar het knappert niet.

    Leuk hoor.

Claire's quilted blanket

Claire's birthday came and went back in July .  I did warn her that my light bulb moment had come a bit late (after her birthday) and that it would take a little while to sort out.  She had seen O's 'all boy' quilt and Martha's play mat and liked them both.  So why it took my brain so long to put one and two together I don't know!  Eventually realising she'd love something that combined Cath Kidston fabrics with a cottagey feel I started looking for the right things.  So I had to confess it might be a while before she got her birthday present. It was such fun looking for fabrics, putting it all together and thinking of steering away from 'just' squares and coming up with something I hadn't tried before.  I love some of the designs on this blog and often have a little admiring look around.  One day I want to be able to make such gorgeous designs! Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with squares, but I fancied making something a b

Warm hearts

Lingering Winter, we've all had enough of you. You have overstayed your welcome, you have been an unwelcome guest for a while. You are not taking the hints or even pretending to be going. You like it here and are oblivious of the growing annoyance your hosts are feeling. Your skies still grey, the wind still whirling over the hills and through the streets, chilling every bone it meets and the world around us still colourless and quiet. You like your stone-cold days and wintery ways. With your freezing temperatures you are keeping Spring paralysed and the world around us strangely transparent. I have almost forgotten what the sun feels like, don't let it be too much longer ~ please. I'll be wear this scarf for Easter, all it needs is a border and the ends sewing in.

Summer quilting project - halfway

Image
Halfway through the summer, already! Slow down! Also, halfway through the 'table runner' project.  That should say table runner s though as there were just enough half square triangles to make two.  They'll go across the table rather than lengthwise.  I can't wait to have them finished and dress the table :) That leaves choosing a backing fabric, buying some wadding and pondering about binding colours.  It means a little pause this week whilst that gets sorted.
