white elephant

flying in winter makes for a lot of white.

another little box

this is another little box I made recently, although technically I didn't make it, I got the small wooden box from my mother many many years ago and always dreamed of decorating it somehow but never coming up with a good idea. Recently, while I was working on making christmas decorations, I had the idea to use a serviette and modge podge to cover the top. I first painted it white and then glued the top layer of the serviette on, making sure it fit the top exactly, but letting the petals go over the edge. Here is a close up:

I use it to store paint in.

kitchen embroidery

this embroidery has been finished for a while. I was inspired by a similar one my mother made and had hanging in her kitchen for many years, colour-matched to look good with her curtains.

embroidery

I finally finished and framed (albeit already a few months ago) this embroidery project by pako - de vier jaargetijden. I got the pattern and kit from Irene for our engagement a year and a half ago. halfway through embroidering I left the pattern in the train (!?) and did the rest looking at the cover picture. It was frustrating, but I'm glad I finished it!

Zucchini

My zucchini is starting to grow! A postcard from our little balcony garden.

little box

I finally finished this little box. I love the golden knob to open it. I filled it with embroidery floss, but could also put spoons in it.
