Klosjes and Pinwheels

As we are rushing out the door to get our Christmas Family pix, first visit to the vet with Miss Daisy, buy a suit for daddy who's going on a business trip to Scotland on monday, stubborn me still wants to beat the odds and sneak in a show and tell:

I am crazy, I know!

ok let's make this fast:
20 Klosjes got made which means 464 Klosjes. Jippie!


and the pinwheels have grown this week, as well.


I actually think this is me putting off the inevitable questions: what I am going to wear? What can I do about my hair! ooooooooooohhhhhh!
ok, time to face the music!

looking forward to some time this weekend to visit with all of you!

V.

  7. Love your "klosjes" - btw I've started making them, too. Just have to muster the courage and write a post about it - uhh!

    On the what-to-wear front - if I were you I'd seriously consider using the occasion of visiting clothes shops to stock up on something for yourself, too. It's only fair ;-)!

  19. Wat veel al! Oeps dan lijkt mijn bergje nog maar klein. En gaaf hoor, al die rode bij elkaar. Grappig he, dat we beide de zelfde kleuren kozen? Erg leuk die top met die pinwheels. Ik wil ook graag nog eens iets maken waarbij je met een midden blok begint. Dat lijkt me erg leuk werken.
    Have a great photo shoot!

  27. klosserdeklos...wat zijn ze toch leuk, vooral als je er al zoveel hebt en het een heuse quilt begint te worden. Je pinwheel is een schatje.

    En maak je geen zorgen over wat je aantrekt want je ziet er sowieso altijd stralend uit Val.
    Zien we elkaar in december?

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
