Dromen

Dromen  dat zijn avonturen
Avonturen in je hoofd
Dromen dat zijn de verhalen
Die je bijna niet gelooft.

happy Easter

to all my Friends

No Time

  sometimes I feel like this


No Time
I push through the chaos,
My mind tangles up,
My senses are battered,
My thoughts remain shut,
The purr of the traffic
Sends birds to the sky,
Abused by construction,
I wish I could fly,
As I glance at my watch
I know I must run,
I've no time for a life,
No time to have fun,
I've no time to observe,
My eyes cannot see,
There's no time to listen,
No time to be me.

New Live

with a little help from these ladies  this sheep got 2 childeren

here is the first one just born

there is new live all around us

Sunny Sunday

A bit more about Noordwijk
I got this little gift from Tineke ,,,,
It is something I would choose
It gave my spirits quite a lift
It’s something I will use!

And I also like to let you know
the new challenge we received     
The strength of Mother Earth
 from Sandra,


and as you know I like a poem
for my inspiration

Mother Earth
Gazing up toward the light,
...spinning slowly 'round.
Hear her soft sweet lullaby,
...and sink toward the ground.

Feel her peaceful greenness,
...breathe in her clear blue sky.
Evermore forgiving;
...be thankful she's alive.

Give back to her so kindly,
...her face we've known since birth.
Cherish her not blindly,
...for she's our only Mother Earth.

Labyrinth

The labyrinth awaits the sojourner--
almost calls her name--
Will you enter my simple boundaries
and journey my paths
One Step at a Time?


we went to Noordwijk to show the finished Labyrinth quilts 
Sandra Tineke Willy and Myself 


Willy arranged a beautiful house and she invited us, 
the weather was so good the first spring day  
we walked and talked enjoying the sun 
It was a wonderful present 


Home again enjoining the memories
of lovely days 
Thanks to Willy  

This Little Bag

This little bag I hope will prove
To be not vainly made--
For, if you should a needle want
It will afford you aid.
And as we are about to part
T'will serve another end,
For when you look upon the Bag
You'll recollect your friend
Jane Austen

Present

The Tea Party
I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small-
Three guest in all-
Just I, myself and me.

Myself ate all the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me

 It is not my birthday yet,
but I got my first present from my dear friend Willy

we had a great day together Sandra Willy and myself
now while drinking tea and remembering all the days we had

Thanks for a fine friendship 
I will make myself an other cup of tea

have a nice sunday
Emmy

just a poem

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph

Late update

Two of my grandchildren were here for the weekend

That's Amore - Dean Martin

the full moon was so beautiful last night

and as always it reminds me of this song
 

little by little

working on the snowmen quilt this weekend
weaving and basting and this is the result
the quilt is 115 - 120 cm  and the intention is not to hang  it
but to use it as a warm quilt , snowmen to keep you warm ,

How a plan can change

Yesterday  when I was stitching the klosjes and a little embroidery on Labyrinth  ,,there is was,, The Idea for the snowmen quilt.

weaving snow and a sky
A complete different quilt .
changes for the best

  Change

Change not mean perfect,
Change just change.
Not a perfect, there is,
But always a change.
After change, after change,
Too, also back from change.
Few a change
From the past,
And also, new change, vast.
From change, gets back-changed,
Reminding future a past.
Back-change, unvast past,
Future change, full of vast.

For the quilt I used hand dyed fabric, scrim,Paint sticks,quilting by machine and embroidery

This is a smaller piece I am working on for the course with Jude

In my eyes of heart
In my heart of eyes
Magical moon had lit
Many stars smiled
Over my clouded heart

On my drums of heart
On my heart of drums
Songs played magically
Music oozed slowly
Over my beat less heart

To my dreams of heart
To my heart of dreams
Life roused freshly
Smile smiled smilingly
On dry lips of my heart

For my life of heart
For my heart of life
Colors faded naturally
Season changed timely
For me to be my part

It seems it is from around the world
Thanks Karoda  for the lovely comment ,,,

I can see why,,,  you can use all the little old fabrics you have

klosjes quilt

the bad thing about the klosjes quilt is the drawing of the klosjes
The sewing is fun sitting relaxed stitching by hand
I admire those that finished the quilt I am still not sure if I get there
 slowly going and thinking about a new quilt
and there are quilts I have to finish
never a doll moment

have a beautiful day
