Do it now,,,,,,,,,,

I have to get this done
But I don't know how to finish 
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Imagine

 these little mountains of snow
they become little snowmen
give them a face
embroidery added
Imagine that

LAST DAY OF THE YEAR

The New Year lies before you
Like a spotless tract of snow
Be careful how you tread on it
For every mark will show.

Naked snowmen

2 naked snowmen  ,,,,,,,,, no embroidery yet
so there are 6 blocks now
still growing this snowmen quilt

the naked blocks need the embroidery
they look so cold and lonely
so naked

see you later when the embroidery is done

have a nice day

on a Christmas day

the children  are not here yet  so I have  some time to show you the progress of the  snowman quilt.
al hand dyed fabric and embroidery and lots of fun making this
If I am a child again playing in the snow
just imagination

have a lovely day

Christmas Cat

A merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Christmas Angel

I'm not the smallest angel,
Nor a perfect one 'tis true,
And I'm not always so angelic
In everything I do.

But when I'm sad or frightened,
Or happy and okay,
You're the ones who love me
each and every day.

And though often I'm mistaken
This I know is true:
That I'm a special Christmas Angel
For I belong to you.

A Chubby Snowman

A Chubby Snowman

A chubby little snowman
had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
and what do you suppose?

That hungry little bunny,
looking for some lunch,
Grabbed that snowman's nose,
Nibble, nibble, crunch!

a christmas tree

a tree with the snowmen
I see lots of snowmen on blogs
this made me think
a snowmen quilt
by my own design

snowman

I'm a little snowman
Short and fat.

Here is my nose
And here is my hat.

When the sun comes out
I cannot play.

I just simply melt away!

pillow talk

the finished pillow

it is cold out side

only hand dyed fabric's  on these 2 projects  A quilt to be and a pillow
it is snowing outside it looks great and I am sitting here in the warm room
stitching  a great way to spend the day .

Winter wonderland

IN WINTER I'M ROUNDER.
In winter I'm rounder
and fatter than before.
I'm wearing coats and sweaters
and woolen hats galore.
My hands are as plump as kittens
when I'm wearing winter mittens.
My legs in thick, snug snow pants
look like an elephant's.
Indeed, I must confess
that when I do undress,
I feel as small and light
as a bird flown out of sight.

my Cats tail

This tail,
for your info,
is not to be stepped on.
I don't care what you were doing,
you should have been careful. Of course I'm down
here - a cat must inspect the drawers
at all times - it's my job!
Now watch out for
this tail!

Fun

blue roses

Long before Autumn,
Long before June,
I sent you blue roses
Beneath a white moon.

Broderie Perse

a gray day by Steve Patterson Thursday, January 27, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. a gray day today a gray day done come my way a little bit foggy dew and rain a little bit soggy but i ain't blue whatcha' gonna' do i ain't goin' insane ain't gonna' be mundane ain't feelin' no heart pain

2 ladies

2 old ladies always at my side
for sixteen years my friends
i hope they will stay  a while

They like my quilts
sit on top of my work
help me were ever they can

I love these old ladies
my true lovely friends
always at my side

lets start again

slowly and with more care making Klosjes,,    Spools  ,,,
I was not neat enough sometimes that is my problem
I go to fast and want to much so I make mistakes
And that takes more time I know I know
maybe if I grow up and old enough ,LOL.
I do it the first time right
so lets start again

november

November is here lots of rain and wind 
but also many festivities in the 2 months to come
we have Sinterklaas
He arrived yesterday a great day for the children

Roses

A ROSE, as fair as ever saw the North,
Grew in a little garden all alone;
A sweeter flower did Nature ne'er put forth,
Nor fairer garden yet was never known:
The maidens danced about it morn and noon,
And learned bards of it their ditties made;
The nimble fairies by the pale-faced moon
Water'd the root and kiss'd her pretty shade.
But well-a-day!--the gardener careless grew;
The maids and fairies both were kept away,
And in a drought the caterpillars threw
Themselves upon the bud and every spray.
God shield the stock! If heaven send no supplies,
The fairest blossom of the garden dies.

Rag Doll

The Little Rag Doll

Sally sat in a corner, a pretty Rag Doll
Molly loved her, Sally was hers, but once, Sally fell
Mother picked her up and loved Sally's frill a lot
'Ah! so nice for my little Jill' she thought
Mother mended little Jill's hem
using Sally's frill
It did look cute as Jill's white lace
But Sally was sad to lose her face
And now Molly did not think Sally was a gem
So she threw Sally
Behind her alley
Sally cried silent tears huddling naked washed with fright
in that empty can of Sprite
Jill picked her up and thought her dress was bright
It would make a pretty sight
when she cut her up and used her
to stuff her little Rag Doll.

Request

I got  a request from Tineke  she likes to see the whole forest quilt
