January & February ornaments
The january ornament was a freebie years back at The Floss Box..it is not available anymore as a freebie but i think it can be ordered at here site. Lucky me, i had printed a few of her freebies before as i love her biscornu designs.
Just done the february ornament just today, it is from Little House Needleworks.
Both these finishes below was a freebie from Melisa, Pinker' n Punkin' Quilting & Stitching blog. The Cupid stamp was sent out to a friend and glad see love it as it was quite difficult to part with. Love how they both turn out though.
I usually post it through my Samsung phone but it was totally broken last month so i needed to buy a new one and i bought Iphone instead. I cannot get my blog there to open for new post which should be easier especially for pictures so now i am trying here on the laptop ..hope it gets through.
Happy stitching!

...back in the cold..
...to Holland the other day. Gonna be a while before i get back to waking up on normal hours here being at home 7 hours ahead of here. Woke up at 3am and can't get back to sleep but not in the mood to pick up stitching or anything rather than scrolling on my phone or doing puzzles just not to dwell on recent events...as I do miss back home.
A week after i arrived at home and able to help taking care of our mother, she peacefully left us. We will miss her so much but we are grateful that our beloved mother is now at peace and free of pain.
A few pics taken on the last day.
Took a few pics the day before we left, my sister to Canada...their graves is very near my house so anyone who wants to visit can go there.
A couple of days before the year ends..I wish everyone A Happy New Year!

November & December
Here is my ornaments for this month and December:
...after a month being back to Holland and my mother's situation getting worse I felt so uncomfortable so I decided to go back home again. Typing this on board the plane bound to hongkong...I don't know if I will be able to post again before the year end.
Wish you all a Happy Christmas 🎄 ❤️

October ornament & home/Philippines
Finished my ornament for October before i flew home and arrived first day of Oct. in the Philippines.
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 😊❤️
