Welkom bij vrouwe Nack: Shame on me...

Shame on me for forgetting to mention other birthday presents that are beautiful. From my dear "little" sister I got my very own cauldron/fiktor & dolf-designer handbag (designer as in Victor & Rolf, the more famous ones ;) ). She's really talented when it comes to paper and sticky glue. The cauldron is boiling as you can see and she also added a few ingredients... (can you believe it? She molested a toad for my present! LOL) This is ofcourse a really funny way to wrap your gift. She and her fiancee bought me this book, Nanny Ogg's cookbook. It's soooooo me! My blog is called "Welkom bij vrouwe Nack", and that's a derivative from Ootje Nack. Ootje Nack is a caracter in my favorite book series (discworld by Terry Pratchett). Her english name is.... Nanny Ogg! Great gift.

Than I also forgot to mention that my Belgian friend Iris sent me a beautiful gift. She stitched me this cube and also put in the package a beautiful card. I guess she know's of my love for coffee. It's still in my windowsill, across the place where I sit to eat, stitch, drink coffee... I see it all day long (and still love it).

You might be wondering "how come she wants to tell us all now?". Well, first of all I didn't want you to miss out on these beauties and second, I'm currently working on some Barbara Ana designs myself. (The coffee I got from Iris is also a Barbara Ana design.) I proudly present a finish , it's a bookmark I made for Teun (my son) and I'm currently working on "I love my dog", for Paul (my youngest).

Stitchy notes:

"Love you to the moon bookmark" by Barbara Ana, freebie from cyberstitchers.
Started in 2008 (?), finished 13 januari 2009.
Fabric: eavenweave with a sparkle from stash.

Floss: as indicated.

This isn't the only finish (yes, I'm on a terrible stitching rampage and I'm enjoying it so much!) I also got Marion's RR in the mail. I stitched a part of LHN's Acorn Hill on her RR. I'm glad I could sent it when we were supposed to. No more 712 picket fence's for me! (Traditionally they would have to be white picket fence's, but that made the colours to bright.)
