Imagine my delight when we got a special gift from Natima in Australia this week.
My boys exclaimed: "WOW! It's a teapot sweater, Mama!" While I was in tears, trying to figure out if I could wear this tea-cosy as a hat this winter! Thank you, Nat, from the bottom of my heart!
:)
I missed Saturday Klosjes Report, because my Love arrived from South Africa after being away for work. This will be the first of many more such trips in the coming months and I am thrilled for him, and for us as a family, for the real possibility of being able to go along with him on one of his trips. Having our eldest son be of African descent, you can only imagine our excitement.
Here are 7 new Klosjes for this week. These are very special ones, made from the Delft Blue fabric given to me by Tineke. Bedankt, Tien! Aren't they cute? :)
One of my dearest friends from Canada in coming next week, just to hang out with me. Yeay!
So, I will excuse myself in advance, as I really don't forsee getting much stitching done while she is here.
For those of you who share my passion in Psychology and the marvels of the Human Brain, I recommend this series. I am enjoying stitching to them, more than I can truly express. ( I would love love love to discuss these with you later on, while stitching of course!)
So, will you sit awhile and enjoy some tea with me?
:)
with much love,
Valentina

Wat een prachtige theemuts. Het is een genot om naar te kijken wat zal de thee daar lekker warm in blijven. Je hebt weer prachtige klosjes gemaakt van een heel speciale stoffen. Erg leuk.
ReplyDeleteWat super dat je die theemuts kreeg! Ik heb haar weblog al even gevolgd en zag de theemutsen daar en ook de boekjes waar ze uitkomen. Het is gewoon kunst toch? Je klosjes zijn mooi, leuk die stofjes.
ReplyDeleteGroetjes

Hi Valentina
ReplyDeleteLove your blue klosjes, and your teapot is SO gorgeous!!
Kom maar op met die thee: heerlijk zo'n fantastisch warm gehouden bakkie thee! Enne: mocht je naar ZA gaan: heel veel plezier daar. Zou fantastisch zijn voor je oudste zoon, maar ook voor jullie, verwacht ik. Veel plezier komende tijd met je vriendin! Enne, ohja: je klosjes zijn weer mooi. Hoever ben je?
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying a radio programme here in England, called All in the mind.I shall be checking out your link too.
ReplyDeleteThat tea cozy is so cute! Nat is a very clever lady. Your Klosjes are lovely and isn't it nice to have a few "special" ones made from fabric given to you by friends. Have fun with your visitor next week and hope you get to go to Africa very soon.
ReplyDeleteValentina, amiga, thank you so much for the link to the Charlie Rose videos. I watched the first video in this series and an hooked. Truly fascinating. I recently finished the book Brain Rules, by Joseph Medina (molecular biologist) - have you heard of it? So interesting. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you ever have a time without flowers but now you can always have them on the brekkie table. You are fortunate. Perhaps I should put in my order for one when I comment on Notjustnat.
ReplyDeleteThe klosjes are beaut. A special sort of blue.
Enjoy your visitor.
Have a good week.
A teapot sweater. ;) I love this treasure, Valentina. Oh my friend, I do, I do, I do!!! I'm *into* crochet so I can imagine the effort and love that went into making it. If I could create something as lovely as this work of art I definitely give it to you. You're such a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteThe Klosjes - perfect coloring. Love those! I'm still going as well... Not as many as you but nearing 200 so we build on. Hugs, *karendianne.
What a cute tea pot "sweater"! Full of sunshine!
ReplyDeleteLovely klosjers too. Have a great time with your friend!
Your tea cosy really made me smile. What a delightful one.
