I heard that our mother is getting very weak and can't stay home alone sometime September so I decided to go home for a visit and to be with her. Upon arriving, she couldn't stand anymore & after a day she couldn't sit as well..so totally bedridden. Been home a month and just got back here in Europe the other day. Happy I went.. though seems so short stay. Lovely to see lots of family continuously visiting.❤️❤️

September ornament
This is quite a quick stitch and i love how it turned out with the finishing, well it took me a while thinking how to finish it off..
Another quick stitch is this baby card when I heard an ex colleague became a grandma and as I made one for her first grandson I thought to stitched one for her granddaughter.
I had a few starts too for a biscornu finish...i hope to stitch all 4.
Last Sunday.. been to the city to go see my daughter with her friend joined the Dam tot Damloop 2024 from Amsterdam to Zaandam. 16 kilometers..and they did it in 1 hour 38 minutes..I am so proud of them❤️Didn't do any special cooking this month...too busy at work and other matters as my mother not doing well with her cancer..think I will be going home soon.
Thanks much to all who stopped by..have a lovely weekend ❤️

July & August ornaments
Been a crazy chaotisch the last months at work..working more than 10 hours a day most days a week due to lack of staff, that contributed to my health problems..infections on my gums and teeth that i ended up to see a periodontist a couple of weeks ago. She advised that 4 teeth has to be removed...which has taken yesterday. I opted though for 3 teeth first all on the left side and the last one in a couple of weeks. I wasn't feeling well afterwards yesterday so I asked off worked today.
Here is my August ornament..started a few days ago but most was stitched yesterday and able to finished it off today.
Aside from working ..had been as usual doing cooking, these was the beginning of August with friends for 2 consecutive days.
Last week on my 2 days off we've been out of the island, boyfriend's idea's as he wants me to unwind after all the long busy working days.
Somewhere in the Northern part of Holland..
We came from the island and ended up staying near the water side.
These are some of my blooming flowers..pity I don't have much time to enjoy them ...
Thanks much for Stopping by and lovely comments.😍

June ornament..
...realise this weekend that today is the last day of June🥴...after a long day of work today and right after dinner, I went and gather materials for finishing..I did manage to stitch the piece earlier this month but been too busy working and once out of the island and been a couple of times cooking for friends..Days just passes so quickly recently.
Another ornament from the magazine of last year. I still have a few I wanted to stitch from it, I might do all the 12 ornaments from it, we'll see later in the year.
The first weekend of June we celebrated BF birthday with our childrens and just very friends.
The following weekend..i invited a few of my filipina friends with their family as they always wanted to come at our place 😊 I do love preparing but recently just too busy at work as summer started..
Midweek this week I am off for a couple of days and was so sunny ..lovely summer day, we decided to go out for a drive on the mainland and stayed the night at one of BF son's place.
So fine to go out and about but nothing get done at home 🤭 though I try to water my potted plants..glad were not so many this year.
Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend 😊❤️

April ornament...Tulips..
Can't believe it's nearly end of April..the days just passes by very quickly..I am just on time again for the monthly ornaments😊
Another design from the JCS magazine 2023..still a few i would like to stitch from it and to use for the coming monthly ornaments.
Been wanting to go drive around to see some of the Tulip fields but everytime I am off been usually raining..today, still expected rain but we were able to roam a bit and was able to take some pictures before it really started raining..we came across more fields but it was raining so I didn't want to get out of the car.
Anyway at my new work place.. need quite some adjustment also for the the time schedule but I feel fine, as it's smaller work place, less staff so kind of quiet😉...
Upon arriving home this afternoon i thought to prepare a dish which i had always thought kind of difficult to prepare but actually not..it was yummy.. Chicken Afritada, a tomato based stew😋
Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend. Thanks so much for Stopping by and the lovely comments...really appreciate them all.

Easter ornaments & cards
These are the ornaments & cards I've made and sent/gifts to friends. Posted to the U.S & Canada almost three weeks before Easter..pity the one to Canada arrived a couple of days late.
I'm glad everyone love their's ❤️
I had worked 5 days in a row instead of 4 days. The last 2 days wasn't so busy and can get home in time for dinner. Weather is rainy cold and windy so not many are roaming around ..though lots of tourist here on the island.
Off these couple of days, so having a rest and doing a bit of stitching:
Worked on thus Spring sampler:
