Some instructions, how to make 'perspotjes'.

Add water



Mix.



Fill to the brim.

And press.

It is easy, you see :-)

I got this tutorial in my mailbox the other day;

didn't knew what 'perspotjes' were, pressed soil

for the seeds.

These were made by Billie in the greenhouse of

her favourite uncle.

I've got a sunshine award by sweet Alessandra!

:-)

The beans etc...

The beansprouts grow like hell, I'm afraid that is
because they need more sunlight; should I take
the risk to put them outside in bigger containers?
They say untill half May there's chance of night frost :-(

When you have a closer look, you can see tiny sprouts
of sunflower together with the beans, to save place.



The beans are coming out, one week ago!

Hollyhock on the left corner.

I need to move very urgently, these plants

need light & space!!

My new home.

Hello everybody, may I introduce you to Stella,

the cat downstairs from my new home.

I can't show you any interesting pictures yet,

so I took some photos of the Wisteria that is growing from

the courtyard to the second floor; the blue sky photo

with the blackbird nest is taken from the kitchen window;

the babybirds have fledged last sunday :-)

There's also a huge Virginia Creeper on the other side

of the building, I will take some photos when he's got more

leaves; I guess they both need a few warm&sunny days more.

The drawing on the wall is an image of a little ghost :-)

Some random pictures of my room.

Found this embroiderie in the drawers last week;
it belongs to a pincushion series from a year ago;
for some unknown reason it disappeared amongst
my fabrics, and it slipped my mind.
I made the cushion this morning and hope it will
meet his new owner very soon :-)

Have a nice weekend everybody.

Earth day.

Do you remember my viewmaster project?
If not, look here & here.
This post is dedicated to our wonderful planet:

The Earth

end.

Reparation day.

I had to carry out some repairs today, you know,

the usual stuff, sewing on some buttons, replacing a zipper

that doesn't work anymore etc... not really exciting.

Too bad this gorgeous 1950 sewing storage is not mine,

I saw it by accident on aapc today,

you can have a bid if you like on ebay and

see more photos.

Isbells was on the radio, love this song :-)

Another cushion.

Everything is ok.

Do you remember this one?
It arrived with the post this morning,
all the way from Iran :-)
So much beauty&delicacy meeting together on
this little box; the magic inside is saying:
' Everything is ok! '
Could be some kind of a spell, no?

By the way,seems that my table was waiting for
this little box to come, they match perfectly :-)

Sunday.

Sunday:

went to the park to see the magnolia trees,

made some labels,

and while I had my sunday afternoon nap,

the first sprouts have come out, finally ! :-),

the avocado stone's still unchanged.

Did you know magnolias date from prehistoric

times, some 20 million years ago!!

Only 5min. walking from my new home :-)

That tree on the first photo is an old pear.
