..but happy!
This is not just any ordinary Klosje, this little one is my 700th!
...and coming to the realization that this week was my last week making Klosjes was a bit overwhelming!
I made 83 and that means 713, :) happy happy dance!
...but for now, I will need to take a little break, because tomorrow morning bright and early, Mama is going on a little trip to Holland. super happy!
Jinny Beyer is coming to give a workshop and I just could not pass this opportunity to see my nieces and meet someone who I admire so much. I consider Jinny Beyer's book Quiltmaking by Hand the one who taught me and led me to fall in love with hand-stitching. HAAAPPY!

You know this first part of the year has been a bit challenging for me, and I have to admit that I am really looking forward to a few days to "fill the well". I am looking forward to taking lots of pictures and share these workshops days with all of you.
My littlest one is back to his happy bouncy self and my friend Elena is over the moon by your support and encouragement! Thank you!!!
So are you ready to come away with me for a little break?
I leave you with a few images of Spring in Cyprus, today the beginning of Great Lent, also known as Green Monday.

ReplyDeletelovely photos, just how I imagine Cyprus to look. I know the feeling when you come to the end of a project which has become part of your day to day life. I was rather lost when I finished my hexi-quilt and immediately started another LOL
