Bye Bye Amersfoort welcome to Maarssen

home sweet home!!! voila enfin dans notre maison!

And it is done after all this year of talking, searching, preparing.. it is not a long distance but it is shorter for going at work at least and a lot of things to discover...

Apres toute une annee de discussion, de visites, de pourparles, d'attente, de preparation ... pas une tres grande distance mais plus proche du travail un train en moins et tellement de nouvelles choses a decouvrir

pictures soon, des photos tres vite promis, doei, claude

help au secours.....we are packed... elle nous emballe....

elle a decide de nous emballer, de nous mettre dans des boites nous on veut pas!!!!
She decided again to pack us, to put us in boxes, we don't want that!!!!!

And yes I am feeling the same but it is for the best because we are moving in our own house and I will get a room only for my minis LOL

ET oui je ressens a peu pres la meme chose mais c'est pour le meilleur puisque l'on va emmenager dans notre propre maison, enfin et que je vais avoir une piece juste pour mes miniatures... LOL

Then see you soon, alors a bientot, doei, claude

Patchwork 1.1 big sampler 7 blocks finished already but

Like you did not know I am doing an other big sampler (for going on a bed) called My Garden. It was started a very long time ago and everything is with color pinks and greens and of course hand made.

There are below the 7 blocks started already more than 2 years and finished during this month... I told you I am very slow....

winter

                                                      autunm baskets

                                                           autunm

                                                      spring coming

                                                                     nearly summer

summer baskets

 and now I am going to do the others blocks (not so complicate) which are going around and are smallers. They are the results of a Sunday particulary rainy last week and of a few afternoons off this week (I am not going in holidays because our big project 2011 (in scale 1.1 not 1.12,,,LOL) will need at least one week off when it will happen) Just cross the fingers for us!!!

Enjoy your Sunday doesn't matter where your are big and minis hugs for all you!

last acquisition, new roses in the garden, new followers!!!

HI Dear blogland! Sorry I did not leave messages or comments but with my new job and the time of travel I did not have really the time and apparently on some of blogs my comments were not recorded, another thing I have to fix...

But lucky me I found minis in  the exhibition of patchwork in Veldoven last week-end, that's was the shop presented by Cora's cottage :www.corascottage-winkel.nl

I bought something for me and with the cute things sent by Marie (from our swap) now I have an idea of the human being activity would be in my cottage LOL,,,

I could not resist to show you our nices roses and they are smelling ...
Gorgeous! And for celebrating all you because you are now 36 followers, Bienvenudo a Teresa y Maria Jose!!!

Enjoy your day or night whatever where you are! Doei, Claude
