Gabriel Dawe installations

Oh my, I spotted the thread installations of Gabriel Dawe in this post at Design Milk and I just Had To Share this with you.
These pieces of art are made with our favourite Gutermann threads. It would be a dream to see such an installation from nearby, wouldn't it?

eye sew

On this free day I had plenty of time to sew away a little. So I did.
It's so nice when you just start and things fall into the right place. I didn't want to work precise, I just intuitively stitched away and let a lot threads just hang down. Maybe this kind of sewing is more my style. I don't like to cut patterns first and stuff like that. I like it raw.

 and I got these lovely flowers today, isn't this the perfect mix of fieldflowers?

beautiful cards by John Derian

I'm always looking for nice cards to send...but they mostly end on my own walls...like these ones by John Derian.

Lanterfantenfestival

Today we started with rain but the smiles around us at the Lanterfantenfestival made the sun pop out. It really was our-kind-of-place, it was such a nice green environment, delicately decorated with flowers and nice places to 'lanterfant'. We had mojito's, nice turkish bread and humus, pasta with parmesan and pecannuts, and pastry with summerfruit and little violets. We decided to stay and live here, for like ever.

Just a perfect day

wooden children's room decorations

Some time ago, I made these wooden decorations with the help of this book.

 (you see they can hide behind trees or in the house)

It's so much fun to make these, the sawing of the wood is hard work, the painting is a bliss and when it's finished it's really nice. Well worth the effort.

(But since I do not have children I don't know what to do with these. Anyone who is interested in buying, please send me an e-mail).
