The last autumn pieces.

Look at this cute freebie from Paulette Stewart of the Plumstreet Samplers. I stitched it on Zweigart vintage orange. Change some of the colours and finished it on the top of a box.

The pictures don't do any justice because the weather is nowdays awful. No sunshines to find.

My ornie from LK chart Autumn basket for my exchangepartner Pirjo from Finland.

The backside.

This piece is a part of the LHN chart State Fair, stitched on Zweigart linen vintage orange. Luckily my Seasonal exchangepartner Christina loved it.

The last piece is from LK Harvest sampler, stitched on Zweigart linen. I changed some of the colours.

Hope you enjoy looking at these pieces. For us it's time to celebrate Sinterklaas and after then it's time to decorate our home for Christmas. I have stitched some Christmas pieces so love to see you again.

Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments.

It's raining gifts here.

Today it's an awful weather here, wind and rain but I made a Happy Dance because it's raining gifts from my exchangepartners.

I get a beautiful box from Lisa (V) all the way from Australia. She stitched the design from French designer Danybrod on 28 count Silkweaver linen "Raphsody". The design is called Rond Fleuri and finished it on the top of a box.

And look at this side. A tiny, cute charm is added to the ribbon. This is my first exchangebox and I love it, it's really gorgeous! Thanks so much, Lisa for this private exchange. You have done a great job for me.

No, no, it's not enough. Here is the Seasonal exchangepiece from Lisa (S). She stitched a design from my favo designer Prairie Schooler. It's from the Acorns book and stitched on 32 count Lambswool with DMC threads. I don't have this design so it's a surprise for me. Isn't gorgeous too?

And look at the backside. The fabric fits so well.

The last one is from the LK exchange. A cute, little cushion from Finland. I love to thank my partner , but don't know, who is making such a beautiful cushion for me. Anyway thanks partner for this gift, I love it.

Lovely exchanges! I feel spoiled with these beautiful pieces. I'm going to treasure them all.

Thanks for visiting me and for your sweet comments.

It's all about ornies.

This little pillow is a birthdaygift for Rianne. The design is from Stone and Thread called Hoppity. It's stitched on 28 count Graziano linen.

This is the last SWAP ornament, which I received from Lisa D. The design is from JCS 2003. The snowman looks really cute isn't? I also love the card and the notebook.

And look at this lovely backside!

This is my Seasonal exchangepiece for my partner April. Design is from Sam Sarah Designs Studio stitched on 28 count linen. It's called Doubles-Summer Bluebird.

April is also my partner in LK exchange. Luckily April doesn't mind that she gets two pieces from me. Unfortunately I delete the picture of the LK piece. So maybe you can see it on April's blog one day.

Thanks for stopping by. Wish you a wonderful weekend!

Little cups of friendship

Sunny days, time to meet friends. Last week my friend Wies visited me. Time for tea, because we both are tea lovers.

I stitched a little gift for her using LK chart little cups of friendship. The box was filled with all kinds of tea. I also bought her some natural green tea and lychee tea. In the middle of the box you can see some tea balls, which become tea flowers when you put them in hot water. The flavor is Jasmine.

Received LK exchange piece from Elisa.

Today I received this gorgeous long pillow from Elisa. She sent me an exchange piece before but I did not receive it. So sorry for her. Luckily this one arrived safely. With her stitching theme she cheered me up. I can't wait to see Spring coming. This is my first long pillow and I love it very much. Thanks Elisa!

Hearts

Last weeks I have been stitching the 4 exchangepieces. This one is for Elisa. It's a LK chart from february, stitched on Zweigart linen. I painted the wooden heart in purple to let it fits with
the stitching design. The package arrives very fast in England. Glad that Elisa likes her exchangepiece.


Valentine is coming and it's really nice to see so many hearts on the blogs. This is an old one, which I made as a goodbye gift for Barbara. The free chart is from the Sampler girl. I have only changed the colours. It's stitched on hand-dyed linen (by myself) using Madeira silk.

Received from Kathy (LK round 2)

I received this tiny treasure from Kathy. Isn't cute? She also spoiled me with some extra's and a card.

Thanks so much, Kathy. I love them all.

LK exchange for Melissa

I'm very relieved that my exchange piece arrived safely. Christmas time is a time to share with family and friends and to give each other gifts, but we are not allowed to add some extra so I made a special gift with the LK stitching piece for Melissa. Fortunately she likes it.

Wish you all a happy weekend full of joy.
