a little inspiration...
a last minute encounter with a dear Blog Sister at the airport
as I was about to leave Holland...
a little reading...
a little ocean breeze...
Makes being back home so very special.
I feel like I can finally catch up with myself and process this past month. I have a profound sense of 'mission accomplished' and 'all is well'.
We really had a wonderful Family Vacation,
and it makes me so happy to see that the boys don't even remember me having been away.
Now a little stitching, a little ingenuity to keep the kids entertained, plenty shade and cool to survive the summer heat...
And I think we are well on our way to having an unforgettable summer 2010!
how about you, my friends?

ReplyDeleteValentina, you are definitely my type of girl - I love a Mojito, too. We leave for a month of vacation to Bulgaria in two days and when a friend asked me what my plans for the month were, the first two things I thought of were having a massage and a mojito ! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's fair to say my summer will be one to remember ;)
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your lovely comment on my Blog, I was so touched that you could be so happy for me, Bless you!
Hi Valentina, welcome back home! Good to hear you had a wonderful holiday and quality time with the family. Now we cannot wait to see your stitching ...I bet you finished your klosjesquilt already ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope we meet after our Finland holidays. I just heard that there is nothing much to do in Orivesie, so I guess I will be totally relaaaaaaxed :-) I am cutting klosjes like crazy LOL.
Love the book you choose for your holidays...I have read the same one in Dutch and loved it!
HUGS & see you soon,
Tineke

ReplyDeletere: A little inspiration -- confess, that is your stash, isn't it! I want to come and play!!
ReplyDeleteHow did I missed this post for 4 days ops! I can feel the thirst coming on with the lemonade and mints. Glad you had a well deserved vacation with family. Children are well adapted as long as they are loved. Thanks for sharing a wonderful color from your trip with us - xoxo Nat
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely time you had. A healthy dose of relaxation gives us energy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to meet a blog friend, and those fabrics in the first photo made me skip a breath or two. Welcome back!
I just read Amy's post featuring you & I Just gotta say - LOVE the picture of the hexagons!! what size do you like to use? I've been wanting to make a hexagon quilt, using only fabric left over from other projects & I've had a hard time deciding what size to make them.
ReplyDeleteYou're work is just lovely!

Hi Valentina! Glad you're home again and together with your family! I know it's hard being in two places at once, but nice that you were able to help your sister & family out!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic summer!
Hugs to you!
