Pictures!!!!

Here are my couple small finishes last weekend. First was the sachets i sent last monday just here in Holland so she had received it yesterday, and i received her exchange in return that is the small beautiful needlebook also the same day.













We've been to a funeral this afternoon, father of a friend, that's the condolence card i had made for.










Grace, afzwemmen voor "zwemvaardigheid 2" vanavond en ze had het gehaald!!!!!

My first needleroll is done!!!

I am really happy that i finally finished this needlroll. Thanks so much Debra for sending me the chart. I hope to try more of this in the future, just have to search if i can buy charts here in the Netherlands.
Also completed a couple of cards, actually the san man was already stitched a while back and just got around to finishing it into a card this week.











It was 'Rondje Texel' today. Been to the dyke this afternoon to see the 'catamarans'. Lots of them, about 400 joined from all over the world. I think it's one of the biggest 'catamaran race'. These are some of the pics i've taken.

at the beach

Since the weather has been very nice we've been ussually out. Took the kids to the swimming pool and stayed there for the whole afternoon last thursday as they are free from school. Yesterday(saturday), we've been to the beach for the first time this year. I think the water temperature is ca. 18 degrees, i find it too cold as you can see on the photo, i stayed quite far from it. Me and my sister-in-law, Ireen. She wants only to sun bath. The first pic is of Kees, Chris, Grace, Larissa(friend of Grace) and Floor(niece).


Here's Grace and Larissa.


Chris and floor.

Grace and Chris after a few times at the simming pool they've colored darker already.

We've been to the beach again today, but Grace stayed behind at her friends place as they wanted to watch the football match. It was the Netherlands versus...sorry, i actually don't remember anymore. Arrive at the beach around two this afternoon and quite many are going home for the match which was at 3pm. The beach was not busy at all.

Thanks so much for dropping by and the nice comments about the kitchen rr.

Kitchen rr

Let's see if blogger will post this one, having problems with it lately. I just completed my piece for the kitchen rr, made a pic of the whole round robin, i really like how she made her border. This one really will look great when it's done. Just two more blocks to go...
Weather's very good today, no wind at for a change and it is sunny. I am just done cleaning the windows outside and partly the backyard, as lots of...i think kind of seeds from the tress everywhere.

I've worked on this one today. It's for a rr which her theme is 'in the Kitchen'. This one is shaping up great and i like the material she've chosen. I hope to get it all done by next week as it's need to be send out the 15th of June.

Atleast, nothing plans for the weekend except to visit MIL on sunday as we haven't been there the last couple of weeks.

Tomorrow morning will accompany Grace to her swimming lesson, i think we are going with the bike as the weather forecast is quite good, dry and no strong winds. It's about 20 minutes with the bike and then afterwards we will go to town which is about 10 minutes more with the bike to buy a couple of magazines she wanted and gifts for friends kid's birthday next week.

YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Finished my rr piece this afternoon, ready for posting on the 15th. I am really glad this is done, now i have to concentrate on a couple more which should be posted to on the 15th.


Just made this into a card this afternoon too and will be posted tomorrow. Need to stitch a few more cards as i have a lots of July birthdays.
