Who wants to wear an eye glass? not me

I have been ignoring my headache for the past weeks already but its seems getting worse everyday. Although its not really a migraine co'z its not really that bad. I feel it every time I am concentrating on some thing and most of all when I am reading. Maybe its a sign that I am getting old already which is a fact. On the other hand I am getting scared because its going to affect my activites. Taking a vacation literally doesn't help because there is no way I can stop and do nothing while at home. We decided to go to the optician tomorrow and probably buy a reading glass as much as I hate wearing an eye glass. Otherwise I have to go back to the doctor and wait for the verdict that I may not be able to cross stitch for good. Meanwhile I think I am going to go for a long walk to enjoy the sun today. It probably the last time this week.

Autumn

Autumn is becoming more and more visible everyday. I saw the leaves of the trees while we are driving into town this afternoon. As much as i love green colors, I cannot help but admire the yellow, orange brownish colors of the falling leaves. I hope to be able to ge some snap shots tomorrow in the woods. I have taken this autum foto last year. I think I should try my new reflex camera.

Cheers!

 I missed this song very much. cheers! It should be my theme song for tonight

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail,
And your little angel hung the cat up by its tail,
And your third fiancee didn't show.
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want tobe where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright
And your shrink off to europe
And didn't even write
and your husbands want to be a girl
Be glad there's a place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to go where people know
People are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

irragation system

Our well-earned holiday in Spain are not just pure enjoyment of the lovely weather,  delicious food  and drinks. We also had a lot of  surprising discoveries in every way. I never thought that rice grows in Spain, apparently well. We have found that rice field  while we are looking for a vineyard.

Onze wel verdiende vakantie in Spanje hebben niet alleen puur genot van de heerlijke weer, drank een lekker voedsel maar ook een verrasende ontdekking in alle kanten. Ik had nooit gedacht dat rijst groeide in Spanje, blijkbar wel. Wij hebben dit rijstveld gevonden toen wij op zoek naar een wijnboer. 

Not too much hobbying for awhile

Since its going to be real messy in the few days to come due to our renovation. I decided to close my sewing room for awhile and make myself busy with other things like helping my hubby with his work. Our garden is also suffering from lack of rain so I should give more water than necessary to my flower beds.

Warm and Sunny

A complete change from the weather last week. First time warmer and sunny this summer. Weather man says it can possibly as warm as 32 degree. Too warm for everybody. I did the wash as early as possible. Now is time to lock up inside and do some cross stitching. By the way I needed some rest. I had help a friend cooking for their party with 200 people or so. I think I'm going to take a nap later. First i took a photo of my white Dahlia before it wilt down.

Zonnige weer vandaag, tegenovergesteld van de wisselvallige weer van vorige week. Weerman zegt het temperatuur kan oplopen tot 32 graden. Te warm eigenlijk voor iedereen, daarom had ik de was al vroeg gedaan. Nu ga ik binnen blijven en doe wat kruis steken. later ga ik effe een dutje doen. ben nog moe, ik had een vriendin geholpen koken met hen feestje. Maar Ik had vanoctend mijn wit dahlia foto getrokken, ben bang dat het later zou kapot gaan door de hitte.

Drizzly weather

I am probably the only one who's not un-happy about our weather condition.

Stitch -a-clock 2 - small work for a change

I found a small pattern in my work book which I luckily have all the threads available. Another stitch-a-clock. I think I'm going to begin with this one and continue working on my friends picture at the same time next month. By then I hope my secret garden is finished.

 Ik vond een klein kruis steek patroon in mijn werkboek. Weer een stitch-a-clock. Gelukkig heb ik ook de kleuren in vooraad. Ik denk dat ik ga er aan beginnen volgende maand, tegelijkertijd zou ik ook de foto van mijn vriendin afmaken.   

My sewing room is in chaos

My sewing room is literally in chaos nowadays. Since we started renovating our bathroom which is next to it, it is in what I call in the worst situation. I am in no mood at all to do some sewing, I bought lots of fabric last week, but I still haven't started anything at all. I am ashamed of all the mess. My sewing machine is okay, though. I promise not to tinker with it anymore, electronics and myself are not the best of friends. I was sorry I bought this type of machine. I probably look for some 2nd hand old machines in the future.

Mijn naai ruimte is in puinhoop, het is een naai kot geworden sinds wij begonnen met de renovatie op ons badkamer daarnaast. Ik had geen goesting om te naaien thans had ik veel stoffen gekocht vorige week. Mijn naai machine is wel al in orde. ik zou nooit meer mijn weinige verstand uitproberen om het te herstellen. Elektronish in mij kan echt niet samen. ik zou ooit een 2de hands old machine kopen.

Its time to have a change in my blog and work on my attitude

"Ik ben terug van weg geweest". Thats what people says in Dutch whenever they come back literally.I have had a hard times , lots of downs and periods where I crack down. Yet I always come back. I have said many times already that I am going to throw away all the emotional baggage that I used to carry with me all the time.

secret garden 2 update

Thanks to the constant changes in our weather, although I am probably the only one who's happy that it rains a lot. I was able to sit around long enough to do some improvement with my secret garden 2. I did a huge mistake, although its hardly noticeable, still I decided to do it again. I'm planning to begin with a small project next week and of course finish the photo of my friend and her son at the same time. Also glad that my flowers are blooming already

Hi there

Aha, its been a long time since I blog, and still have ample time to get everything done, especially with the ongoing renovation of our bathroom. But its not the dust all over the house that bothers me a lot. My vacuum cleaner is working good. Our plants needs water everyday because of the dryness. Its good that it rains yesterday. I was able to do some sewing and reading, thought I might be able to have something to blog about. Just finished this green dress i stashed away 2 months ago, because I didn't get it right the first time. And was able to cross stitch longer than an hour today.

Updates

Apart from being busy with lots of sewing work for a friend the whole February and until early March (mostly drapperies) and helping in our school projects sewing Carnival Costumes for kids in a day care center here in Beringen . I am glad that my cross stitch project is also a bit improving. My health is of course also better although I must say, I need to have more exercises and workout. Sitting and sewing a lot  does a lot of bad effect aside from my sudden change of  diet. Anyway the weather is getting better since this week. And I am determined to venture outside in the next few days. Its my way of putting my self-imposed exile off. I went to the market today for a start. Lots of people are already looking for me. Asking what's wrong, why am I nowhere to find. Its exactly not true. I am always home, or at school or at the church. Because I don't go visit friends or arrange a karaoke party or go shopping with aquaintances like before. People thinks that there is something wrong with me. Those who read my personal blog knows why. One thing I learned from all the dissapointment I have encountered lately is that Silence is surely one good way of conveying meaning without creating a fuss. My hobbies keeps me sane and moving.

Back to school

Finally the snow melted already, although its a bit raining at least its not very cold today. Fine day in school, so much to catch up with each other about the holidays. My sewing machine is stucked though, I couldn't find the problem so I have to bring it in the shop tomorrow. I hope that it does not take long to repair it. I now realized the problem with computer machines. I cannot tinker with it whenever I want, otherwise I'll make it worse than it already is. Anyway this is what I am busy right now aside from usual cross stitch. (new project) By the way I cross stitch not more than 2 hours a day. I know it will take ages before I finish a project, but I have really no choice. I also have to be careful now with my eyes not only with my arms. 

Welcome 2011

I was not really feeling well since we comeback from a 12 day cruise across the
