This and that

Today I had the feeling I had to make something for myself that I could finish within a day. So I finally made Leanne's thread holder, that had been on my list 'pretty things I want to make' for a long time. I needed this little holder, because while stitching, my threads can be found everywhere. Thank you Leanne, for this great tutorial! It was really fun and fast to make (O:



Then, for a swap I want to make a tote bag, but I had never made one before. So on Sunday I looked for some happy sunny fabrics and made this one with the tutorial by Sarah. It's a very good one and I made this in no time. I never knew making a bag could be so much fun!

I received two more lovely siggies, one from Marjo and one from Anja.

And to my jelly roll Objects of Desire I bought this gorgeous panel. This one really makes me happy! Now I will have to decide how I will use my jelly roll and this panel for a quilt. Any suggestions?




Last Saturday Ger and I had a day off for the two of us. We went to Alden Biesen, where we took a walk through the blooming nature. Here some some impressions:

One of the quotes that reached me this week I want to share with you, as many of us seem to forget this:

"To a happy person, the formula for happiness is quite simple: Regardless of what happened early this morning, last week, or last year - or what may happen later this evening, tomorrow, or three years from now - now is where happiness lies." - Richard Carlson

Happy days to you!
