Klosjes update


Not much going on around here apart from Klosjes being marked, cut, stitched--- at breakfast, in the morning, in the afternoon while the boys play, evenings... Ok you get the picture!
It's hard sometimes, as I am getting a bit bored and miss my sewing machine, intensely. And yet, I am convinced that I am making them faster than before. And seeing them piling up is kinda fun, :).
So for the last week I have added 61 new ones, a new record for sure. :)
Anyway, I suspect I will not be stitching much tonight. Today 19 years ago, on the 22 of the 2 of '92, when I was 22 and my love 24, we went out on our first date... and the rest has been a beautiful history. I hope he feels better from the stomach bug that has been pestering him and we can go out.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
...ok maybe I can squeeze in stitching another Klosje before he gets home...
:)

and sending my love and prayers to our blogging sisters in New Zealand.

  2. First Valentina...I also send my prayers to our blogging sisters in New Zealand. Wow..how hard they have been hit!

    I encourage you to continue enjoying your hand sewing! I go between hand sewing and machine sewing. I enjoy both, like you, for different reasons. It is a wonderful contribute to you that you can squeeze your sewing between such a busy life! I admire that~

  4. Well Valentina, you are a human dynamo. I think this quilt is going to be a stunner so keep going as the end is in sight. There is plenty of time to get back to the sewing machine after. Have a wonderful celebration for your anniversary.
    Love Shirley.xx

  14. Did you had a good anniversary date? hope so! And good job on the klosjes. I have to squeeze in some work with needle and thread. The last couple of day's it was so busy at work, I fell on the couch and couldn't do that much in the evening. Yesterday I did work on my flowers.
    Hopefully I can up-date my blog soon.
    I hope you have a good play date tomorrow with Tineke!

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
