English Christmas market 2013, at St John & St Philip's

Are you wondering what to do on Saturday November 30th?
The annual English Christmas Market will take place. I invite you all to join and to visit me, it would be great to see you (or meet you) all. If you hace children you can combine it with a visit to the beautiful sand playground at the other side of the street (Ary van der Spuiweg).
There will be activities for children, lots of different british Christmas homemade products, arts, crafts, even a tombola and live (Christmas) music all day long. Very christmassy!

These birds have flown...

These birds decided to migrate to a warmer place and are now on their way to Spain. They have found a new friend: Vanessa. Congratulations Vanessa, they are yours! I hope they will make you good company, together with Emese's bird.
I'd like to thank as well all the participants for your lovely comments. Thank you!

Dasjes Tief - toddler bags

There is something I'd like to share with you. This is what I make besides the paintings, when I feel like stitching. If you want to read the full story about these bags, you can do it here

Something I don't mention on my Dasjes Tief page is that I made the first bag (for my son) with two old trousers: his dad's and mine :-)
