Have a colorful day!

A day at the beach

Sunday we spent the day at the beach.

No, we did not head down to the mediterranean sea just to hop into clear blue-turquoise water.

( But yes we did things like that when we were "young" ; ) )

No, we just drove 20 minutes and there we were... almost like the real thing!

The place is on the Lake of Neuchatel and spending one day there is like one week of vaccation:))

To make the day even better I prepared a tarte au citron and it was the perfect match!

Bon appétit!

Sunglass bag

After scratching my last two sunglasses within a few weeks I decided, it was time to make a bag to protect the new ones...

The problem however ...

...to find them when I need it is still not solved....;)

Have a sunny day

Picnic quilt finished oh...

...yesss!

And already in good use..

Yesterday was the perfect weather for just sitting under a shady tree and working on the binding.

Stitching,watching the kids play in their pool drinking homemade Ice-tea and certainly not moving too much...

It was hot!

Very hot!!

The quilt is about 150x170 cm and the colours are perfect for its purpose. I`m very happy with it.

But for now I`m off to catch up on other duties. There is some salsa waiting to be done...

Summer is sooo good!

Inspiration

Inspired by the Hydrangeas in our garden I finally decided what to to for the summer mini quilt swap. Oh, there were many ideas I had in mind just too many....

The blossoms are made of Yo-Yo`s and I can make them everywhere!

The weather is just too good to be inside, behind the sewing machine.

I hope you can enjoy a nice alfresco dinner too!

Léo

Léo starts playgroup tomorrow and he is sooo very proud!

He needed a bag of course, to carry his stuff!

No?

He says that he is a "big one" now and he wants to become a dog doctor.

I hope all your dreams will come through.
My sweet "little one"!

On a Saturday

We went to the zoo, had a nice time but forgot the camera...

Back home the children were tired and alowed to watch a DVD.

They watch TV only twice a week so it is a special and always very quiet time witch gave me the possibility to start at last the quilting on my Giant-nine-patch-pic-nic-quilt!

Uff I really have to learn to breath during freemotion quilting!!

But it so much fun and and now is getting easier...

Happy Weekend
