Spring is finally here

Since spring finally showed up last Sunday, there's more and more works coming up and before

Winter blues again

It looks like the winter is going to get going for quite sometime. I really hate it, being stranded inside the house, not that its annoying staying at home. I am a house mice and I always have one thousand things to do at the same time. Anyway, I'm glad that its a bit sunny despite the snow outside. Whenever the sun peek inside the house, its means I can cross stitch for at least an hour or two a day. Doctor's order, not too much concentration will do me a favor to little by little regain my old self. Just no cross stitching, sewing or reading at night. By the way I have just started stitching a photo of princes Kate of England. I got a photo converter gift from a very kind lady whose name I may never mention in public. She is a public figure, and I am glad she has become my friend. Although I am not yet one hundred percent convince that this pattern would do justice to the photo of the princes. I will give it the benefit of the doubt.


Update as of September 1-2013

Love to finish this project someday or stitch a new photo of Princes Catherine, but I I have to study and redo the pattern because I am not 100 percent satisfied with the outcome.

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.

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.

Time for General Cleaning

The weather is lovely lately that's why I took the opportunity to do some cleaning outside. The cupboards and all the cabinets are done. I did wash winter clothes and washable jackets and mantels. Marcel is now 3 days busy cleaning and repairing the fireplace. All I have to do is put away all winter clothes and do lots of ironing. Then I can go back to sewing etc.

I am excited because I bought a new gas fornuis so I can fry fish outside whenever the weather permits. Its really fine to be able to sit outside in the afternoon. Drinking cool kriek

I'm getting bored of winter

Its getting a little bit boring this winter, its always dark and cloudy. Although its not my character to complain for nothing, its getting a bit too somber everyday. Not to mention my husband is too eager to begin cleaning up our glass house so he can start planting. I miss flowers in the garden. I plant every year yellow and orange flowers in our front yard. This year we are planning to mix colors. I am curious how the krokus bollen going to look like. I have asked Marcel to plant it in a form of a fish. Its a way of us showing passersby that Christian people live in this house.
