there is always something new to learn

wrapped

this quilt is for my granddaughter Emily
for a cosy evening
for comfort
stitched with love

old lady

Gentle eyes that see so much,
paws that have the quiet touch,
Purrs to signal "all is well"
and show more love than words could tell.
Graceful movements touched with pride,
a calming presence by our side -
A friendship that takes time to grow -
Small wonder why we love them so.

Lizzy

on the bottom of the basket
she was waiting in the dark
but finely I found here
ready to make here world complete

yes there are more to come

yes  an other pillow
there are more little quilts just laying there
they turn out to be lovely pillows
so lovely to use not  waiting in a box
to be loved, used,

My little friend died yesterday

an article on my work

I have Tineke to thank for
she asked me for this article
I am proud to be in a beautiful magazine like Quilt & Zo

Embroidery is a pleasant art,
That leaves its patterns on your heart.
Stories told by intricate design,
I'm so thankful for this craft of mine!

old things

Old things are more beautiful
than many things brand new
because they bring fond memories
of things we used to do.
Old photographs in albums
love letters tied with lace
recapture those old feelings
that new ones can't replace.
Baby shoes, a teddy bear,
a ring that Grandma wore,
are treasures waiting there behind
a door marked "Nevermore".
Old things are more beautiful,
more precious day by day.
Because they are the flowers
we planted yesterday.

Shells

 She sells sea-shells on the sea shore;
The shells that she sells are sea-shells I'm sure.
So if she sells sea-shells on the sea shore,
I'm sure that the shells are sea-shore shells.

Tea Party

weaving along on the tea party quilt
I changed the name from tea pot to tea party 
it is better this way
for it is a party a joy to work on

outfit

A new outfit for a new doll

a jacket and apron for working in the garden

New feet within my garden go,

New fingers stir the sod;

A troubadour upon the elm

Betrays the solitude.

New children play upon the green,

New weary sleep below;

And still the pensive spring returns,

And still the punctual snow!

-         Emily Dickinson  

Rose Garden

 
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.

Cupcakes

Oh all the kinds of cupcakes,
Filled with sugar and sweet.
They're all sorts of flavors,
And my favorite treat.
Strawberry and vanilla,
Chocolate and peanut-butter.
They're all so delicious,
I have to have another.
But I must resist,
For if I don't there will be trouble.
But try as hard as I might,
They're all so yummy and loveable! ! !

a little design,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Every clothes loving girl,
Wants to be,
A fashion designer,
Of the highest quality.

To design for the rich,
Design for the poor,
Design for the famous,
Then design even more.

Design a new pair of jeans,
A nightgown or two,
Design a dress for me,
And then a top for you.

Think up the latest fad,
Make a magazine as well,
See your ideas on the catwalk,
Before they go to shops, to sell.

to love and to hold

The Rag Doll

by *acidlullaby

She built her home in tear drops
And gave her heart to the sky.
She tied up leaves
Around her sleeves
And pretended she could fly.

One morning in mid Winter
On a day that felt more like Spring,
She opened her ears
To the sound of tears
And imagined she could sing.

Overhead the birds would sweep
In sunshine or in rain.
Part of a crowd
They were happy and proud
And ignorant of her pain.

With a final farewell to teardrops
She climbed the tallest tower...
In her silent voice
She made her choice
Knowing freedom was in her power.

With her gaze up to the heavens
She felt then only peace,
As she took one step more
That trailed across the floor
She finally sought release.

The world lit up in sun beams
As she soared high on makeshift wings,
And the birds gathered round
Because they had found
They could hear music when she sings.

Tea pots

  I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
    Here's my handle, here's my spout,
    When I hear the tea-cups, hear me shout,
    "Tip me up and pour me out".
