Easter decoration!

But first a stitch update. I've started a new piece... yes I could not resist.
Look at this lovely piece from Barbara Ann: I've not stitched much on the horses, but here the progress: Yesterday I made this funny chicken:

I've giving it to Robberts mommy, every year she gives me Easter branches, so in return I made the chicken... see loved it.
I just finished another one of myself: Than my Easter decoration:

The first picture is in the hallway, on the shoe cabinet. The other two are from the window-ledge in front of the house. There are hanging the selfmade Eater egg!! With some practise it looks better, but it isn't easy to stitch it by hand when it's round..., but I need to make more, the branches are still so empty...
Soon Í will update the Easter decoration again, when I've made some more...

Here a lovely photo of Noah drinking hot chocolate
Thanks all for stopping by and leaving a comment, I love to reading them!!

Horses and sewing stuff

The horses are progressing slow but well!!!Despite of all the brown, it's still a nice project to do, and can't wait till it's done. I thinking off starting something new, but first want to finish this..(my new rule)

A few weeks ago I was thining off making the easter decoration myself. So when on a hunt of nice things and saw some lovely things.
Here are some easter egg I've made from here:Only I'm not pleased with the end result, a while back I saw a way to stich the last piece by hand where you don't see the thread.

This is a picture I found yesterday of it.
Everybody finish there thing so nice, but mine won't....
Anyone know how I can finish it, and it looks beautifull???

I found a few lovely chicken tutorials.
This is the first I have made from hetti's weblog.There isn't enough stuffing in them, I need to close them en give them eye's .
I also started another chicken but miss a color of felt, so when I have it finished I show the lovely one.. I can blab it's a cuti pie!!!

Noah is growing so fast, he can talk now... It's so cute to listen to. He can say apple (appel in Dutch), car (auto), sit(zitten), eat (eten).
And he calls Bumba, Bimba....

This afternoon I whent with Noah too a playground nearby, he loved it (just like last time).. sitting on the seesaw, sliding off the slide 10 times on a row, and he climbed on it all ....

Tomorrow is a busy day for my, in the morning I'm going to a funeral of a close person, then while Noah is sleeping to physiotherapy, then we are going to visit friends that has been on vacation for 2 months and in the evening I'm going with a few colleagues out to diner and to the movie Valentine's Day...yummy Patrick Dempsey, Eric Dane... yes I love Grey's Antomy....

Chickie has two friends!!

This week I've made two more Chickens.. They are fun to make and lovely baby gifts.

They are sitting outside in the snow....

Yesterday we went to Noah his girlfriend Tess, she is getting a baby sister or brother in the summer. I made for Tess a pink play-ball and we gave a chicken for the baby.
Noah loved to play with Tess.
A few days ago the two played in the snow since then Tess says Noah's name al day..hihi

I also have made some birds, they are done and sitting in the branch.
I finally made a picture of them:


I'm still in a non stitching mood.... I just started trying to make a Bumba doll. Noah loves Bumba..

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.
