Mother Earth

Hello peeps,

First I wanne have a moment for Begium, after the nightmare in Paris, 

it now was in Brussels

It's coming so close by, so scary

~ ~ ~

How are you all? 

I'm getting back on track.

I have been very ill for 2 weeks. The docter told me I had the Mexican flue ????????

I have never been so long so ill. I only saw my bed or the couch. I had a fever for more then a week..

Did nothing else but sleep. Noah started to take care of me, made me a sandwich and give me drinks. so sweet.

Now more then 2 weeks after I started to feel better, it's still not totally gone, I still feel it when I go for a run. But I can do everythings else again.

♥ * ♥

In the meanwhile I have been crafting on the moment that I did feel good.

In my last post I told you about the project Mother Earth that I was making in order.

As you can think it's finished, it's already at the recever, and she is very very happy with it, she had a visitor, who saw the doll and told her it was the most beautifull one she had ever seen... blush blush

I will show you some pic's how I made it, so you can see it a bit how you make one.

It starts with the ugly face

It will not stay like this, we put some skin tricot over it, and a body arms..

Then It looks like this

Still looks funny, and not like a beautifull one.

I wanted to make the hat. 

so....

Let's give her some clothing.

I made her a tube from wool-felt and then 2 skirts from nicky velours, and a shirt from a white fabric

Now she is looking more like a lady

Next step:    FINISHED!!!!

Crochet a stola for her, gave her a face and ... tadaaaaaa

I love her so much..

I took my Spring decoration out of the box so I could make a beautifull pic of her

It looks so beautifull.

As I loved and liked her so much, I bought another package and made one for me to.. 

I finished that one a lot faster.

Her a pic in the evening I finished her

The next day I worked on her children, I made a few more from the fabric I had left

And now for weeks I have been looking to such a lovely place with my own Mother Earth

Can you imagine that I;m so very happy with it?

I also have finished some crochet pieces, but I will show them next time. 

I have enough pictures in this post. :)

We started a bit late with our Easter decoration. .... -> yesterday.... but we are enjoying it

The start off with hama beads.. new decoration for the Easter branch.

Next post, easter decoration and a crochet piece...

This week I will also look for a new stitching piece to start!!!!

Today it's White Thursday. Kids went to the church with school, and eat at school. Now they have 4 day's off for Easter, I have to work, but Hubby is at home. 

Many activities are on the planning

And the yellow one is also finished.

I'm very happy with my scarfs.

 Here is my Criss Cross Shrug. 

It was a big and long project, but I'm glad I finished it!!

I love wearing it. On the above pic the front I need to put a bit better. 

But now you have a bit of a idea how it is.

It's just a long scarf with sleeves, really great to make

Noah loves Judo.. you all have seen that..

But look at this

 Little Kira, also training Judo..

You can try 3 times before going on it.. so she wanted to do that.

Now she first has to wait till she got the first 2 swimming diploma's before she can judo again..

It's a good motivation......

Kids here have Spring Break now.. 

Here are a few things organized, so we will have a lot of fun!!

Have a great weekend

Carnaval

So just done with my 5th night shift.

Let's write a post.

Last weekend it was Carnaval.

So let me show you some pic's of us.

On Friday morning Kids celebrated Carnaval on school.

Noah for the 3th year as Jedi Luke Skywalker. No change in that.

Kira wanted to go as Elsa again , I needed to make a dress a bit bigger, it was already a bit smal last year when I made it.

Now it's too big, so need to make it smaller again, but she can wear it again.

This year wanted to make something new.

I made her the crochet crown hair . 

She told a girl friend who also was dressed as Elsa that only she was the real Elsa as she had the hair also :O :O..... I did not teach her that...........

That weekend we had a dress up party.

My clowns outft from the last years I wore at school, wasn;t alive anymore.

And as a big little red riding hood fan. I wanted to make myself a outfit!!

I did it

What do you think?

I made a petticoat for under the red skirt, so it's much more beautifull to wear.

I really love it.

For years not have been much sewing, I missed it, and was happy it work what I made.

The white peasant top I really love.. I remodeled it many times. Need to draw a new pattern.

And I think I will make it this summer again for my self. eally liked it!!

The next day a friend told about a kids ball, so we went there, for me the first time to see that

As you see on the pic's Kira wanted a Elsa face paint!!

And I wanted to practice again :)

Every time I did it a bit different, I really like doing this!!

On Monday we had really bad weather, heavy wind. so all the parades where cancelled.

On Tuesday the weather was a bit better, only many rain, and as I wasn't in the mood for sick kids we stayed at home.

So we didn't see anything od the parades ... to bad....

Hopefully next year we have a better change

* * * ♥ * * * 

I'm also getting back on baking

 Here I made cheese cookies.. the kids and I where the only one who liked themm..

So I eat them almost all.. hihi.. they where very yummy

Here Kira wanted to bake Apple Turnovers... they where very yummy too.

We will bake them more....

* * * ♥ * * * 

Yesterday Noah had another Judo compitition.

He won all 3 games. and had enough points to urn his new embleme

You see he is very happy wth it!!!

------- * --------

I have been crochting like crazy also.

But I will save that for the next posts...

I got a very very cool order, to make a beautifull Waldorf doll..

It's 50% cotton 50% polyacrylic

It's for Hook 5/7. I used 9

All my years I have never looked with yellow. but this color I love so much.

It's ochreous (okergeel NL), just made single crochet stitches...

I bought two colors. also a red one. 

Went looking on my pinterest for a other pattern. Found one.

My Criss Cross Vest is progressing very well 

Here you can see on the photo that I just started on the arm.

In real it's finished, next post will show you it

And i thought lets start a new big project

Next weekend it's Carnaval here, and Kira her Frozen dress of last year is to small.....

So a while back went to my Grandma to ask how to make it bigger. she gave me tips, and last night finally started 

First cut it open again

 Then 

My sweet friend the sewing machne came back on the table.

And as I wanted to make something with it 

I started a crochet crown of Elsa, perfect with the dress.

Next Friday it's Carnaval at school, so it will be finished .

Noah wanted to go as a Jedi like the other years, so no sewing :))))

My Clown outfit didn't survived the last time in the washing machine, so needs something new. and I thought lets make something

Kira's party's.

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes for Kira's birthday.

We / she had a lovely day.

Last friday was the kids party.

Some of you where very curious.. so let me show you what we all did.

First I wanne show a big ball of  yarn

Above Kira's part

Kira wanted to finger crochet a garland for her birthday, but after a meter it was hard to keep it up. So I promised Kira I would finish it, and as you see I did.

I hang it up together with some horse decoration we made togheter.

Can you see it, the small garland with the horses ?

It's so beautfull with the flag garland

* * * 

For the kidsparty we wanted to paint plaster ( don't know if thats the good Englisch word)

So I made some mold

Here you can see them done

Mostly horses, but also a few dino's for her boy friend and a dolphin for Noah.

It didn't look much, so I made it all again

Then on Friday at 12.00 we picked up all the kids. Kira asked 6 kids (5 girls, 1 boy), 1 girl was sick, so could not come.

First kids wanted to give there presents

I put there names in a balloon, so Kira could pick on and read there names

It was a lot of fun!!!

Then started with eating pancakes that i baked that morning, sorry no pic of the pancakes

after kids where playing, so we cleaned it out and put the first craft on the table.. 

Painting

We painted a canvas, and the molds, I glued it all together.

And after about 30 minutes the first finished pieces came.

Some make much work of there painting.

I so love to see it.

With my piece I saw the glue attracted totally in the plaster, so my beautifull horse broke on the floor in 3 pieces :(

(hubby was very creative too.... left below)

They where all so beautifull.

We played a few games, and went on to the next craft

making a bracelet with your name, or just some letters. What the kids wanted to make

I made one for me with both kids there name in it

After that we did somemore games, I printed out all kids of paper for coloring.

Then the party was on his end.

Kids and us had a blast.

* * * 

The that evening it was time to cook for the big party on Saterday.

I don't have pic's of all the food.

But most I have

 I made 2 apple-pie's 

 stuffed eggs

 Big quiche of veggies and bacon

Quiche of leek and shoarma

I also made tomato with mozzarella, a salad, stewed pears.

For the kids hotdog.

I also did one bad thing....... I ordered a cake ... yes I did..

But it was a very pretty one

A mother at school bakes cakes, in what you want. 

I asked purple, pink, frozen, unicorn and horses.

And look what she made!!! ♥

Kira was so happy with it

I always have a pic of the whipcream of the cake, but as I ordered the cake, we still had to make whip-cream.. also very yummy in coffee and on the apple pie.. hihihi

Kira had two awesome days.

She is spoiled rotten

Yesterday all day she was playing with her new toys, crafting he new crafts.

It was a great weekend!!!!!

* * * 

Today the kids had a extra day off of school, so we went away to a swimming pool

It was awesome

Hope you all have a great weekend! :)
