I know… flowers again. This seems to be my “if-all-else-fails” kind of pictures. I don’t even know how to call these in english. We call them Gerbera’s. They grow them at my brother-in-law’s work (again lack of english vocabulary: he works at a gerbera grower?), so we get them on lots of occasions. I don’t…

Yay!
It’s there, it’s full! Now some nice weather to match…(that’s dh in the floating chair I got him for his birthday)
These flowers
Things are getting a little crazy here. They do every year. The third (and last) in a row of three birthdays in a month is tomorrow.I have the stupid habit of wanting things to be perfect for the few visitors we get. I don’t want to get into details here, but some of those visits…

Organizing the hall
I have been on a sewing binge today. Three bags, a summer skirt and this organizer. It was a great way to use some of my stash of brown vintage fabrics. The back is made from old kitchen curtains, the pockets are from vintage pillowcases. I love how they look combined. As soon as I…

New (to me)
Look what I bought myself! A real vintage (antique?) handsewing machine. What’s even better: it works and it works silently. That means I can sew (only straight stitches, but still, it’s a start) when dh is working at home. Maybe now I will be able to finish things…
Just me
When I have to take pictures of people that I have interviewed they usually get a bit nervous. “I really don’t like getting my picture being taken.” they tell me. And I answer that I agree and I do think I am on the good end of the camera…But today I got an email from…
Potholders (and rambling about other things)
I keep finding these crocheted potholders in thriftshops and I’m fascinated by them. Such an intricate pattern, with those 3D rose petals. When I’m feeling really brave I think I will try to copy it. But for now I’m just smiling every time I see them hanging on the side of the kitchencupboard.In the background…
