Sewing gifts and working in the garden

Another week gone by..
The time is going to fast, in about a month I need to go to work again :( :(...

On the first of April Noah's teacher has given birth to a baby girl. They asked if we wanted to give a present, and this is what Noah and I made:

The patterns of the little bal and owl are so fun to make... more will come slowly...hihi

Yesterday my oldest nephew turned 3... such a sweet boy. His mother had asked for a birthday garland... He was thrilled when he saw it! I got many compliments over how lovely it was. Then the suprise gift the overall for him and his grandma It was the best gift I could made.. his grandma was so glad with it, we started crying with the three of us.. LOL...:) It's still very lovely weather, so we walk with the handcart to school and to the store... This is how Kira looks when we do get Noah from school. Noah was helping DH with the sand and he loved it... Kira was sitting in the handcart again..lol The garden is getting greener and greener and my first flowers are coming in bloom. Here my first pics of plants in bloom.. the white one I bought this week So I bought the frame for Kira's birthsampler Satherday, so need to get stitching... it's still not finished I wanna thank everyone for visiting my blog and especially everyone who leaves a comment!! gaat morgeI love reading them!!

Update's

The birthsampler is progressing well. I choose two lovely pink colors, for the name and weight/height and birth-date. It's not done yet, need to stitch the Christians names and I think some more leaves. But I think to finish it this month (FINALLY).. This week is my step-mothers birtday, so Noah made a drawing and I made another card The garland is finished, but after I have given it to the birthday boy I will post it on my blog.. I do have a photo to show, I started a secret gift.

My SIL told me last week dat her mother (his grandma) also wanted a overall that I made for him last December.. but it was a joke... hihi I started it anyway and finished the back (translation -> Grandma's sidekick)

Need to finish it before this weekend, so tonight when Noah and Kira are sleeping, my sewing machine is making overtime Then I made this piece

Last week I went to a funeral of a boy that only was 1,5 years old, from a former friend, and they asked to bring something personal for him. They sad that he was a butterfly now and is free , so I made a little bleu butterfly with his name on it. My toughts are with his family I wanna thank everyone for visiting my blog and especially everyone who leaves a comment!!

I'm not lost or on vacation, but didn't give myself the time to post, other things where to much more important to do :).
But I havn't sat still, so here comes my work!!

First the cute little frog, it was a suprise for Mylene, to cheer her up.

She has some beautifull pictures of it on her blog!!
She always make such beautifull things, and I love having her as a blogfriend.
She has send me many lovely gift with such beautifull finishes, mostly with beads.
So I wanna try to do it too.
For a first time it isn't bad!!

Back in January I was working on a little piece for a quilt als a cheer up for someone with a very sick husband.
She recieved the quilt and this is my part in it

(I did not made this quilt only the stitching piece) I so love how they finsihed it up as a quilt.
She was totally in love with it, and send me a beautifull gift to say thank you (forgot to take a picture). At the moment is going very good with her husband thankfully

My beautifull granny blanket is progressing slowly, but I love it. A picture of the front and the back=)
So now make 3 more squares of 16 granny's together and it's done for now I think.
But it's going aside because I found something beautifull to make on this blog. Went looking for the pattern in the magazine and this is my start of the chicken so far Not much yet,but hope to finish it before Easter!!

Then a love photo of my beautifull orchid, almost al the flowers are in bloom I have some beautifull pics made of the kids

New start finished, progress and granny's

I wanted to stitch something small, so taked a good look in my stash and found this cute little frog from Margaret SherryI stitched it in two evenings, and love the cutie.

Also have a progress update from my Pooh Birthsampler:Pooh is getting there.... with a lot of green (6 diffent colors) and the black backstitches

I wasn't satisfied about my first two granny that I made from here. At the blog from Bunny Mummy I saw such beautifull granny's, so looked through here blog to find how she made them and found it. So with the help of that link here is my new granny next to the old oneYou see the diffents in the piece, I love my new one so much!!!

But what will I make of them.
When I was pregnant of Noah, I decided to make the room green, I've he was a girl wanted to do pink with green, and for boy green with blue, like his room is now getting slowly...
I also wanted a green knitted blanket, but had to much pain in my shoulders, so asked a previous patient with who I still have contact if she wanted to knit one for me. She was happy to do, and look at here little Kira has it on her bed now But I decided to do here room in rood/pink, so need a new blanket, I'm not that good in knitting, and with my crochet addicting I like to crochted one, So the granny's need to be made in a BIG blanke.
At the blog from Attic24 (who makes such beautifull crochets blankets and other pieces) I found a way to put the granny's together as you go, as they call it!!
And look at what I made so far: In my beautifull new tree, my neighbor wanted it gone from his garden And I so love it, always full with birds and beautifull blossom, so I asked I've may get it, and now it's standing very beautifull, and the birds are also coming to my garden now...
The last two day's it was such beautifull weather, I've been working in the garden , it's done now, now need to get rit of al the weed between my stones!

Noah loves to make pictures with the camera, mostly they are from the ceiling, couch or my legs, but this week he made a few of Kira and I love them so much, here i have one for you Made by my lovely boy!!!

That was all for today, enjoy the lovely weather, I hope too see the sun again tomorrow!!
