Something new for on Noah's windows!

The last week I had a lot of pain in my shoulders en back, So I haven't stitch much. Also I have a bad sinusitis.
The Fall Sal is still the same as last time, haven't feel like it to stitch it, but the horses on the other hand having a little progress.
The middle horse is almost done
The bib for Mads is completely finished:
Yesterday I gave it to my on neighbor, they where very pleased with it, they loved it.

Like the titel says I have made something new for Noah's window, the fall things that you can see in this post, I have taken off and replace with this:

I need to think something extra to put alone the animals, say a sun, birds....

This week I have made two lovely pictures of Noah playig with his Duplo
Isn't he the cutest!!!

That all for today, hope for a pain free week ...

I'm dancing again...... I have another finish.
Saterday my new threads where brought by the postman, so this weekend I stitched and stitched... and so was my cow-baby from Ellen Maurer-Stroh finished.
It love it, the cute little cow-baby.


Soon I hope to start a new baby from EMS, but with a winter theme this time, I think it wil be the christmas Cat with a poinsettia in his hand.
But need to think it through first..

I'm now busy to finish the Fall from the four seasons SAL, it's almost finished. I'm stitching it for a long time now, and I get tired of it, so need to stitch, stich stitch....

I have found a new start te make (after Fall Sal is done).
Here is it, I hope to start it this week..

Normal I order the threads that I need for a piece i'm stitchig. The colors that you need a lot for diffent pieces I have, and for every new piece I just need a few new threads. For a few months now I'm ordering more threads, so I can aggregate al DMC colors.
A few months back I order two large boxes, and one of them is full now.

So now saving for the second box

Years back I bought a DMC book with al the numbering system in it.
On the back you can find al the DMC thread numbers, when I buy a color I strip it of.
Here you can see how many I have at the moment.

From 150 to 900 I have all the colors... no that not true I miss a few, but there are not in stock, so hope to got them soon. When I start a new piece I notice I need to buy a lot less colors then before. It's so ideal

I off to vacuuming with Noah

Thanks all for visiting my blog, and leavind a comment, I love readig them.

A little Finish

Our on neighbor has giving me a couple of time some old good clothes, that I can use for sewing. Last week she told me that her grandson has his second birthday in February, so as a thank you I started to make a bib for her grandson. Here is the result, now only need to make it in to a bib:
Mads is de name of the boy. The patterns are two of the free patterns from Ellen Maurer-Stroh Toys babybook. I hope tomorrow come my order of threads, then I can finish cow-baby. A new pattern is waiting to be stitch and I can wait any longer, but first I need to finish the Cow from myself.... Rule made with me..... I have sew a bit too. First the other baby-shoe It's a freebie that can be found here I love this pattern I'm going to make it again for Birth gifts And made the two more balls for Noah to play with, he loves it This is also a free pattern from here

Then I finished the three birds and made four more. They all have eyes. and looks so nice
I'm trying to put a video of Noah on my blog, hope it wil work this time. Noah loves to help me clean the house.
He can vacuum very good. Hope the video worksI'm giving him a kinds of orders, and he does it. When the postmen come, I say 'Noah post post' and he walks to the mailboc to collect it and brings it to me, on the bedroom I ask him to close his big BIG big curtains, and the little boy close his curtains.
Here the video of Noah vacuum
video
I'm trying to make a video of Noah closing the curtains but that's not easy!!!
So that all for toningt.

Stitching and sewing

We are getting better, but slow, I have gone to work yesterday, now I have a few days off again, so can easy get better.
But I've not sat still.
The cow is almost finished, but I'm stuck, three colors aren't in my stash. So need to wait till they arrive, I just ordered them.
He is how far I came:

It's such a lovely pattern....

Meanwhile I've started something new. But not much is here to show:
It's a train... but soon I hope to show more.

I've been sewing too:


A blue ball for Noah to play with and a shoe for a little girl.
My friend has been asked to make a few dresses for a girl that need to be in a gypsum pants for 3 months, she will not be able to move here legs so she can't wear many clothes, I found a lovely pattern what my friend is using. I love to fabric she bought and needed to make something from it, she gave me some little pieces and tada....
Noah loves the ball, I can find it al throw my living... I've made 2 more but need to stuff them.

This afternoon I was playing with Noah and when I hold him upside I saw a molar (kies in Dutch), his first molar in his mouth. That was also a reason that he was sick I think.

I can't upload any more pictures for some reason, so my post stops here.

Till next time.

Thanks a for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Stitching update's

Not only Noah has been ill, DH and me where also ill this week.
We are feeling a lot beter at the moment, hope is wil be over soon.
But one advantage....more time to stitch....
Here are the pitures from my progress:

It was a lot of brown...


Need to do one part and then it's finished...

We love Disney, this afternoon 'The fox and the hound' (in Dutch 'Frank en Frey') was on television, Noah just woke up, so we all watched it.
For those who don't know what this movie is, a lovely picture

Look at Noah..
He had his drink and raisins and sat still for 15 minutes...wow wow... that was the first time... He stood up because of the commercials (damn commercials).
After the movie we bake pancakes...yummy. As always Noah wanted to help:

He loves to play with the water....

I'm off to some stitching on the cow.

Thanks for stopping by, and leaving a comment

I'm a happy girl!!!

Yesterday evening a friend stopped by to look at my laptop. He brought his computer with him. Everything put together start up and yes we saw something...on his screen. My laptop in pieces, he thinks my videocard is damaged.
Fast collected al my personal stuff and Noah's pictures and put them on an external hard drive also all my stitch and sew patterns.
And now I've got everything back...I'm so happy I can dance......

But don't stop dancing yet.
I've got another finish, the snow banner is finished.
I sewed it on a white fabric, only need a stick to hang it on.


A few weeks back I orderd children fingerpaint, and last week it was brought by the postman. And I put Noah to the fingerpaint...hihi... it was funny. Noah is ill he has a nose-cold, soar throat and hoarse voice... So he wasn't totally in the mood..
Here some lovely pictures of it:




And the end result:
When Noah feels better, we'll try again...

I've started a new piece, the snow-baby from Ellen Maurer-Stroh
It's progressing well

This afternoon I started a few birds that I found here. Here is the free pattern.
At the moment I'm changing the accessory color in my living it was green, now it's white, romantic white, is the meaning. So the birds are white with a black/white belly.
Here is a picture of two from this afternoon, They aren't finished yet, but almost.


The meaning is that I make many more to put in the brance above the diningtable. That's the brance that I hang there with Christmas, I took it all off except the stitching gifts.
Soon I want to make some new pillows, but first many other thing to do.

Thanks all for stopping by, especially for those who leaves a comment.

I haven't done much this week, no stitching because everyting in on my laptop.
A friend of us is going to try and get al my stuff of the laptop so I can use it on DH's laptop, but that will take a will.
I've found some photo's on the camera from stitching project where I was working on.
Here is the update from the Fall Sal:

And a photo of the snow banner:
I was stuck on this, was missing one thread, The post delivered it this week, so I can finish it now.

My car needs a new door, maybe two new doors. In the mean time it drives, I only need to slam the door.

Like titel says I have sewed a chicken. It was a free tutorial from this site.
I found it this week a loved it so much that I started it right away, and finished in two ours.


Noah loves to play with the chicken, he calls it cow, cow, cow hihi but forgot to take a picture, so when Noah plays with it a again I will show it to you.
I haven't made any picture of Noah since last week (bad mommy)

BTW I found a lot of lovely tutorials, I love finding and make them, keep up the good thinking

Thanks all for the kind words and visiting my blog.
