What a week it has been!
The boys had a wonderful first week at school. But, like many of you kindly warned me, I did have a dip, all of a sudden finding myself in an empty house...
I was sorry sight, wandering aimlessly from room to room monday morning!
:)
Day two went easier on all fronts. I even had a chance to spend the morning with Tineke. We had a lovely time and she helped me to brainstorm about my charm hexi-diamonds.
But tuesday afternoon, wednesday and thursday are a blurr: instead of the quilt-bug having its way with me, I picked up a nasty stomach bug. I saw a worried look in my husband not because I couldn't hold any food down, but because I couldn't/wouldn't stitch!!! And my brain was so fuzzy I couldn't even read words on the computer screen...
:)
But all is well now. Things got done somehow, and yesterday I even had another 'sit + stitch' with Tineke. We laughed so hard when we noticed our miserable harvest of Klosjes for the morning's effort.
But it was fun!
So, all in all another 12 Klosjes got made.
:)
I hope you have a lovely weekend with your loved ones. I will be reflecting on the day and all that has happened since. And in so doing offering a prayer to those who lost their lives, and all of us left behind who have witnessed our world so radically changed.

and we'll have a draw for our giveaway next week, ok?

ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself my dear!
Oh, you poor thing, you must have been really sick if you couldn't stitch! Glad you are on the mend.

Hi Valentina,
ReplyDeleteI completely enjoyed your company and hey....your miserable score was 100% better than mine. Can't believe it took me two hours to finish 1 klosje LOL.
Take care my friend & see u again soon,
Tineke
Mooi je klosjes.En je hexjes,heel leuk.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you there agian Valentina. Also glad you have recovered from that nasty bug! I do love the photo of your blues hex diamond. and happy to hear your Klosjes are building :)
ReplyDeleteTwaalf klosjes is toch helemaal niet slecht voor een week! Zeker als je ook nog ziek bent geweest. Nou, geniet van je weekeinde met de jongens, vóórdat ze maandag alweer naar school gaan...;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are all better again now, and adjusting to the boys change of routine. Love your blue and red photo - some progress is better than none at all!! Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have not been well. How like you, to think of others on the anniversary of 9/11. All our prayers are with the families who lost loved ones and the people who were injured and traumatised by those terrible events.
ReplyDeleteGlad that bug left quickly enough for you to have some klosjes fun! And your klosjes look wonderful. :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been unwell Valentina. Glad you are feeling better now. Love what you've done with the blue hexies. Klosjes are looking lovely. Hugs, Jeanette
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back in the groove. Those hexies and klosjes look great. Hope the boys enjoyed school.
ReplyDeleteLove Shirley.
So sorry to hear you have been unwell. The stomach flu is no fun at all. And I agree with your husband... it must have been pretty bad to not want to sew!
ReplyDeleteValentina, I hope you'll pop into my blog. I'm having a fun birthday contest going on. People have to guess my age and birthday. Some comments are really funny. Want to give it a try?
Glad you are feeling better both physically and emotionally! It is hard at first when the kids go back to school.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're too sick to stitch - you're SICK. I'm glad you're feeling better now!! I love your blue hexi section. 12 klosjes is still progress towards your goal. :0)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better! Oooh those yummy klosjers!!! Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing! Stomach bugs are the worst! And if you didn't want to stitch then it must have been really, really bad ;(. Good thing that you are better now. And don't worry, you will adjust having the house to yourself in no time. Look after yourself!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are on the mend (ouch! I wasn't trying to be funny!). Start crossing days off the calendar 'till the school holidays begin, and hopefully time will fly :) Happy crafting, Jenny
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are back on your feet! And maybe next week your gona enjoy your 'free' time more. 12 klosjes is great. 12 more than I made...
ReplyDeleteMaybe I have to bring a few with me, on the little trip to Germany and France Heidi, her husband and I are making next week.

Liefs, Ria.
Hi Valentina nice to hear everything fine ,the boys of to school and back to there routine of learning and socializing with other children,glad to hear you did'nt suffer to much from the stomach bug ,the change of weather sometimes does that it has cooled off now thank goodness, your hexies and the klosjes look so pretty. happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteOndanks alles heb je beautifull klosjes en een erg mooie diamand gemaakt. Kan me voorstellen dat het huis ineens leeg is als je de hele tijd de kinderen om je heen hebt gehad. Ik hoop ook dat je weer helemaal bent opgeknapt.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel now much better.
ReplyDeleteYour clue charm-hexi-diamond is beautiful and the klosjes are so tiny!!!!
Teke care!
I'm pleased you are feeling better and as usual your new stack of Klosjes are gorgeous. Well said and same from me with regards to 9/11.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better by the time you read this. I remember the the first day the kids go back to school. Of course you miss them and the house will be so quiet. It won't take long for you to get back to the routines again. I hope the postman will bring something to cheer you up soon - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteNever mind de klosjes. Wat je laat zien ziet er wel prima uit en de hexjes zijn ook al zo mooi. Ik hou van blauw! Het is altijd even wennen als je weer alleen in huis bent.
ReplyDeleteIk hoop dat je inmiddels weer bent opgeknapt en dat het quiltvirus weer heeft toegeslagen ;-)
I'm glad you're feeling better, tummy bugs flatten me too. I bet your boys were happy to be back at school with their friends. Your klosjes always look nice.
ReplyDeleteHoi Valentina, gelukkig voel je je weer beter. Je klosjes en hexagonnen zijn mooi! Sprankelende kleuren!
ReplyDeletePrachtige hexjes en dan de klosjes erg mooi ....
ReplyDeletegroetjes yvonne
