A cover

I made a cover for our chair from old jeans. Not an easy job, it took a lot of time and effort. It’s not a perfect fit, but I do like the result.

I cut around those back pockets and thought it would be fun to make a pillow with those.

Curtains

We’ve been thinking about new curtains for a long time, but I just never could find the right fabric. I was thinking green and something retro like circles or stripes.
Yeah, I know. This is completely different. But I do like it, even after sewing all those pleats.

Flowers

I don’t remember where I saw this idea, but I like it: preserve the beautiful flowers you get by taking pictures of them.
This week I got two bouquets when I said goodbye to my job*. The white one is from my bosses, the colorful from my co-workers.

*my job outside the house that is. I will be working with T. in his IT-business. I already was, actually, but his business kept growing and I kept running out of time 😉

In progress

My kitchen right now. T. decided it was time to get the last part of it done (we’ve had the cupboards, dishwasher and everything waiting for months now), so he broke out the old block.
And then he got the flu, so now this is what I’ve got.

But it will be great when it’s done.

Halloween

Though it’s not really common to celebrate Halloween here, I like the idea of adding a holiday between summer and Sinterklaas (December 5th).
So, here I am, baking spooky cookies and carving (tiny) pumpkins.
Happy Halloween!
