40 !

Last week I told you I had a special day on the 20. and I would post about it later ( I had to wait for the pictures to be e-mailed by the ones who were in charge to take pictures.)

So this is it.

I had my 40. Birthday!

And I`m still wondering how this happened...

Not that I have any troubles with that,

just "How could this happen sooo fast!!

I`m not the only one this year,

With two of my friends who will be there in a few weeks

we wanted to celebrate it with a

big fiesta!

So we organized a seventies party with the matching music and clothes and

a big dessert buffet!

It was awesome!

We danced until 4 o`clock in the morning,

and had a lot of fun

seeing all of our friends together in the same place at the same time!

My two coo-party girls made me a gift too: I wanted this poster for a long time now and they are persuaded that this is the right moment for it...;))

Hope you do too....

P.S: I guess this is a good opportunity for a giveaway isn`t it ??

Sounds tomorrow good??

Uuups!

I almost forgot to take a picture of the second blog for Tasha before posting it!

( Had to pull it out of the envelope witch explains the folds...kmhh )

And I started a string quilt motivated by the "No string attached challenge and I can tell you this is fun and veeery addictive!!

I hope you have a good day

( For me it is a special one but more about that later...)

Here comes the sun

Out of the gray, fogy plains we went,

up the hills to search the for the

sun.

Then we found it and had the most beautiful views

on the alps!

We spent the day skiing and sledging and recharging our "batteries" only to dive back in the

clouds!

But to add some more colour to the day I will go on cutting in my fabric stash to get some supply for the challenge I` participating.

I hope you had a good and fun week-end too!

I`m back

Winter

is a real hard time for me.

I`m struggling with the gray dark days and the cold weather.

This makes me loose all my creative and even everyday energy.

I do love the snow tough and I`m quite good on skis so the only thing that can lift up my mood is when it is snowing and when we are off for a day in the mountains.

But lucky me, I`m participating in the Bee Europe Quilting Bee and so I had to go back to do some sewing and this was the best thing i could do!

I could not stop going through my fabric stash and get inspired whit all the colours and designs...this is better than any professional therapy!

This is the first of two blocks for HANIES.

We are free to choose the design of the blocks she just want the size to be 12.5"

So I had a lot of fun making this block and now I`m off to do the 2. one!

So see you soon...

No time for sewing but good news

May I introduce Charly and Sira

After a year without a pet in our family we are happy to have some new furry companions again

( We lost our dog and cat last summer both within a few weeks...)

To be continued.....

Summing up

This is how the last 2 weeks has been

Now I`m counting on the fact that sherds are a sign of luck!

More fun tomorrow.....

Impressions of France

The first thing after arriving at the family`s home is always heading to the stables to say hello to the horses and donkeys.

And as soon as possible making the first ride.

Cookie the girl donkey had a baby 3 month ago witch she did`t adopt. So they had to feed him ever since and it was sooo much fun and too cute to see the kids taking over this job during our stay.

Early morning visit to say hello...

...only to go for an other ride through the vines as soon as possible!

A visit in the nearby village St. Emilion where one of the most famous Bordeaux wines are growing.

(Did I mention that my in-law`s are living near Bordeaux...)

Hehe I now, I am a lucky girl never running short of good Bordeaux wine..;))

A trip to the Atlantic coast.

The weather was still warm enough to go for a swim and except for a few surfers we had the endless beach almost for our self.

Then a visit to Cap Ferret to taste some fresh oysters and enjoy the beautiful landscape and villages there.

Back from the sea we had a few other sunny and warm days...

...before we had to go back home...

...again....

Au revoir et a bientot la belle vie...



....because here its log fire-and-snuggling-up weather already!
