I am a 40-something housewife that loves to make my home a cheerful place for my husband and myself. I love working each day on my handwork and inspiring others to unlock their creative muses.
I have a blog where I write about my handwork and one in which I write about the changing seasons and things around my home and garden. Please stop by and visit me. While there, don't forget to leave a comment. I love hearing from you!
I want to thank everyone who has honored me with an award or tag. I have decided to make my blog an award free zone as I find it difficult to pick and choose myself among the blogs I love. I think every blog is great in its own way.
We spent an extra day up at the cottage this past weekend. We were out looking around a couple of villages on Friday with our friends and then came back home to have dinner at the cottage. On Saturday, we drove to their campsite and had dinner with them there. This area of the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe are known for the waterways and many times you wait by the open bridges for the boats to pass by. This bridge we stopped at is actually operated by hand. There is a crank that raises and lowers the bridge.
My friend Sonja and I drove to a really fun shop in the village of Staphorst while our husbands took a bicycle ride in the area. We came back and had a BBQ meal. This is her slicing the bread.
More company! This chicken came by to try out the bread.
The meal was various kinds of meat on the BBQ and a couple of different salads with bread.
We then worked on our stitching. Sonja is stitching LHNs 'Season of...' and I worked further on 'Geranium House'. How fun to see how much further I am this morning. I now have the flower pot next to the fence also stitched and the right border also complete.
Hedi - Your weekend sounds wonderful. I love that you and Sonja are both stitching LHN designs. Your bbq sounds just spledid and how comical that the chicken came by for a visit. Thanks for sharing!! Suzann
Heidi, I can't think of anything nicer than a picnic with good friends, good food AND companionable stitching. It looks as though you had the perfect day. Margaret
