FSL easter egg I had to do something different after all the finger puppets. So here's my 'something else'.
Today I watched 40 coffins being unloaded in Eindhoven Airport from an Royal Australian Air Force plane and a R Netherlands A F one. The first remains of victims of the shot-down Malaysian aircraft. The simple but respectful ceremony was an antidote to th
A baker's dozen of fingerpuppets. Don't you just love them.
Went to see my friend yesterday and she loved the dolphin towel. It was a nice sunny day and she lives somewhere between Amsterdam and the Hague, the bulb growing area in the Netherlands. So we did the tourist thing and drove around a bit. Too early fo
ITH BIB. Inspired by hightechgrammy's bib I digitised this one. The front is cotton, the back towelling. It's stitched almost entirely in the hoop leaving a small opening for turning.

Five baby dresses. I got three bolts of fabric and started to make dresses for charity. I used one and the same pattern but varied it for all of them. They close with 5 buttons on the back and I am not particularly keen on making buttonholes. So I digi
Cross stitch cushion. Seeing spendlove's beautiful cushion I remembered the embroidery I made for my mother. She did not want it to be framed and sewed it on a silk pillow. It needs to be cleaned and has been in a drawer for almost 2 years.I reall
Bibs I just had to try the 'bapron' pattern. They are lined with the printed flannel you see in the background. I digitised a small boat similar to the ones on the fabric and copied it 3 times. Made a second bib and enlarged the boat pattern. I p
Sue's basket. Simply HAD to make one. It stitches like a treat, hardest part is sewing the seams together. Now I have to go look for a matching ribbon. Thanks Sue!
