postcard

a postcard from Heidelberg of the early morning light flowing over the mountain.

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.

visit

my mother visited us on the weekend.

she spent time sewing and we enjoyed the first crocuses.

manitoba oak

During the Christmas holidays Irian and I spent some time in Doug's shop. We wanted to make a small project that didn't need a lot of power tools. Doug had some slices of manitoba oak that were slightly curved from damp that he said we could use. I used the sander to smooth the edges to a circle and finished it with varnish. Because of the curve of the wood its shaped like a little bowl or saucer and I use it to put things like earrings in.
