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.
