Some curious cats
The cats nosy looking what is happening there.
The fabric is 30 x 40 cm,
what gives a nice passe-partout
The cats are in cross stitch
DMC thread was used for that,
DMC is my favorite trademark for
embroidery thread.
Happy stitching,
Gerrie

The Market
In the Netherlands you buy fabric
by the meter
on the market
I love those markets
Nice weekend,Gerrie
Shopping bag, purple and yellow
Choose three pieces of fabric
whose colors combine well
I like to combine 2 plain
colors
with 1 fabric with many colors
The pockets are made extra strong
by stiffening
Two pockets outside and two inside the bag
Someone will do sustainable shopping
Have a nice weekend, Gerrie
Elefant and mouse
15 x 20 cm.
A small cross stitch work,
nice as a book cover, a wall hanging or
as a pillow with some colored fabric around
Happy stitching, Gerrie

A new shopping bag, this one got
a traditional Portuguese image

I substituted for a blue one
A button as eye of the fish

Straps,
I took (never used) straps from another bag
And there we have a new shopping bag
Enjoy,

Woodpecker
Woodpecker
Once on holiday, I bought a book in Paris.
It has beautiful drawings of, like the cover says: European Birds.
For me is a very relaxing activity, to copy
those drawings.
It teaches me to look very well to the details.
Falcon
I think it is more interesting then just color
the adults coloring books
Gerrie.
Vincent van Gogh
Last summer we visited the place where Vincent van Gogh
painted the "Collse Watermill".
The building is bigger nowadays than in 1884
but it is still in use.
Have a nice holiday, Gerrie
