Cut-out designs and patterns


Ik vind dit zo'n mooie Kerstkaart (van mijn schoonzus en familie - merci)!  De boom glinstert en fonkelt blauw.  Ik ben momenteel helemaal weg van die 'cut-out' designs.  Op kaartjes, op bokalen, lapjes stof of stempels.  Ik was aan het bladeren door Mollie Makes gisteravond en mijn oog viel op deze kaarten van Famille Summerbelle.  Ik ben verkocht, zo mooi, zo gedetailleerd, zoveel te zien!  De wereldkaart is mijn absoluut favoriet.  Als je goed kijkt zie je de Kerstman met zijn slee over de noordpool vliegen!!  Het staat op mijn lijstje 'hebbedingen', misschien voor als we de keuken opknappen....



I loooove this Christmas card (from my sister-in-law and family -thank you)!  It's got some blue sparkle  in the tree.  I've got a real thing for 'cut out' designs at the moment.  On cards, jars of mincemeat, fabric, rubber stamps,...  I was looking through Mollie Makes last  night and my eye instantly caught these amazing maps from Famille Summerbelle.  My heart is sold to the map of the world.  If you have a good look you can see Father Christmas with his reindeer flying over the North Pole, love love love it!!  It is going on my wish list for when we redecorate the kitchen...

Deze 'Animals' stempeltjes van Cavallini & Co zijn ook onderweg naar Huize Frambooske.  Voor O (en ook een beetje voor mama...).  Ze doen ook: Birds and Nests, Vintage numbers, the Alphabet, Butterflies, Par Avion, Greetings, Paris,...  Die van O komen van Amazon met bruine cadeau labeltjes om te versieren.

This 'Animals' rubber stamp set from Cavallini & Co is on its way to the Frambooskes.  For O (and a bit for me too...).  They also do 'Birds and Nests, the Alphabet, Butterflies, Par Avion, Greetings, Paris,...  I bought our set off Amazon together with some buff gift tags to decorate.

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 ...

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.

Happy big changes

Just a quick update from my mobile phone.  We lost the internet in our house on Thursday... It is so strange without it, you really don't realise how much you rely on it until it stops working.  I've wanted to look up a recipe, order left handed toddler scissors, check prices for a new internet connection (ha).  Thank god for my smart phone keeping the internet addiction sweet with a little drip feed! The good news is that the internet has moved out together with my lovely husband.  Well, he's kind of moved out :).  He has moved his work from our garage into his own office.  Things are still a bit up in the air, but what a milestone! Once everything is out I get to reorganise the garage - yay.  For the last three years there hasn't been a welly boot, gardening glove or outdoor toy in it. *rubbing hands* I can't wait !! One other change is that I now get to walk home from work. 2 miles, or just over 3 km.  No big deal right.  Shame that ha...
