Up.

'UP' from Alessandra's giveaway was in my mailbox
yesterday morning :^)
Finally I have a bauble now to cheer up my Christmas post a bit!
Thank you alessandra!





Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas.

My shell.

I think I have never been so happy with an apartment
as with my current one, as if it were designed specially for me;
that is of course nonsense, but I do know that this place
inspires and that I'm in my element here, what is very,
very important for a Cancer, ha!
Some time ago, a friend of mine made this funny joke about me,
my home & blog, saying:
'Your home is like a shell with an internet connection' :^)
Anyway, I'm a (modern) hermit and I love My Shell!




new cushion, have a look at my flickr for the back.



The Nephentes in 2010
and here
goodnight!

Little zoo.

I've bought a rhino for my little nephew and a turtle for myself;
they look so lifelike, don't you think!

( the chicken is chocolate :^)

More animals at Mieke Willems.

A mixed lot, part 10

I haven't had any chance to take some pictures last week,
so, here's another mixed lot; the theme is
'Gardening & Accessories' and the photos date from
Sept-Oct-Nov.
ok

1 cherry tomato, own cultivation :^)
2 gardening dreamsuit, found at vads
3 sage, grasses and Siberian Edelweiss.
4 love gardening at night
5 Diamond Frost

Land of Rivers.

I've tried to make some sharper photos from the 'Land of Rivers'
embroiderie; the result is quite better now but not yet Sharp sharp,
and I've noticed a bit too late that there was a grease stain on the lens,
so there's a blurry spot at the top of the work
and therefore, the isolated red house seems to be shrouded in a fog bank,
how poetic :^)

Have a nice weekend all!

A mixed lot, part 9

I suddenly felt like posting 'something', so I took some pictures
of the past months; it's become a rather minimalist series :^)





chocolate cosmos, again :)

Unfinished cushion.

I started a whole bunch of cushions the last two months,
partly for Huis Mortier and Atelier Solarshop, but
many of them didn't make it, like this cushion that only
needs a lining; but I think that's not so bad, since I already have
noticed that many of you prefer the back :^)









sweet dreams :^)

More.

Ride with Mieke on an Ent and hot chocolate afterwards.

Bliss.

Nice patterns.

I went for a short walk in the park nearby; love to watch
the ducks in the water, especially the idea they're comfortable
warm and dry while paddling is very appealing to me :^)
The fallen leaves of the Wisteria give nice patterns on the terrace
floor,
they remind me a bit of a design I once made for a textile print.




... but it could also be a bunch of stylized spermatozoits :^)

Happy weekend all!

Two shelves.

Goodnight!
