Tilda's world is without a doubt a feminine one, and the most recognisable features are the faces, with two dots for eyes and rosy cheeks.<br /><br />The Tilda range consists of craft books and craft products for sewing and paper craft. The products are produced and distributed by Panduro Hobby and available in most of Europe. The books are also distributed to other parts of the world like USA, Australia and China.</em></strong><br /><br />I'm making a sort of "quilt" curtain. I've cut 30 blocks this afternoon, and it's now time for sewing them together.

I'm still stitching, but not that much I really want. I'm currently working on Baubles November and I've just finished October. <br />For the Shores, I've finished a block, number 3 and started on block 4. I'm still stitching for my PIF-members. I won't forget them. <br /><br />What happened you may think.... a lot. Lets try to explain some.<br /><br />I've troubles with my business for a couple of months now. So I decided to search for a businesspartner and we are going to start a new accountancybusiness together next month. We had to search for a new office also and we have a lot of other stuff to take care off. Lots of stress and lots of headaches.<br /><br />Also I had my knee surgery on August 20th, and it's still not good. I have therapy every week, and the doctor said to me: it will never be good again for 100%. My knees will always stay bad. :(<br /><br />My father is going worse every day. Lots of visits in the hospital and more troubles with this body. He is getting a colostomy next Friday. The doctors decided that after removing 3,9 liter of urine out his belly.<br /><br />So lots of things happened and are still happening. I'm a lot on Facebook now to play eggbuddies, just to relax a little.<br /><br />But... my DH and two girls are doing great and we are now planning a pleasant Christmas with the whole family.<br /><br />I will try to put some pictures soon, I promise. From december 24th till the end of the year, I won't be working, so.... I should must have the time to do it then.<br /><br />You are all in mind.<br />Lots of love and hugs...Carinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07185762438629177462noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850020484201574090.post-50564511087979995432010-08-17T18:03:00.003+02:002010-08-17T18:11:11.633+02:00New progress on the Shores.I made some progress and put the pictures from The Shores of Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House Samplings on my blog.<br />You can see them <a href="http://shoresofhawkrunhollow.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />Feel free to look, leave a comment and if you want to: please join us! <br />I surely appreciate all comments and love to read them.<br /><br />Till next time, lots of love and hugs!Carinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07185762438629177462noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850020484201574090.post-20950750239670711402010-08-15T20:57:00.005+02:002010-08-15T21:06:50.384+02:00Baubles August finished!I just put the buttons on and finish this lovely one from Sam Sarah Design Studio:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5nhH-1vPlI_HzGJrHVAlZARaGIEsruaXk4yxbL5b7LtBl8no5hWZZXTFodTwqzt6z3LsqCTxOgqN5q1PixKpQkirO1M2QTYOs4xxjPquWBOGd0jR3nVKssNDe-YmY5Hf77ieeihUlg/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5nhH-1vPlI_HzGJrHVAlZARaGIEsruaXk4yxbL5b7LtBl8no5hWZZXTFodTwqzt6z3LsqCTxOgqN5q1PixKpQkirO1M2QTYOs4xxjPquWBOGd0jR3nVKssNDe-YmY5Hf77ieeihUlg/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505713350194887922" /></a><em>Click to enlarge.</em><br /><br />"Baubles August" is stitched over two on Zweigart Newport Natural 28 count linen with The Gentle Art and WDW floss.<br /><br />For me it's a cute reminder of our last boattrip on the Greek sea, with the jumping fish and ofcourse the beautiful Caretta Caretta turtles.<br /><br />Now I'm going to stitch some more on the Shores.

And that after 24 years with pain in my both knees. I hope he can help me! The rheumatologist sent her advice to him: operate and look inside! Mmmmm, but not before my vacation to Greece. I don't want to go there with crutches. <br /><br />I'm planning to read al my friend blogs next weekend, because I missed your stories a lot.<br /><br /><em>Till next time... lots of love and hugs!</em>Carinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07185762438629177462noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850020484201574090.post-56583820457620311442010-05-19T15:23:00.011+02:002010-05-19T15:52:11.879+02:00Back from the holidays!Hi all,<br /><br />I'm back again; yes, from my short holiday with DH and kids:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCukaaWiGaIPYT1ZqoNt_2ovZE3RCSKipoYPfmwLafId3Xw8rA-ng7uKaNFjlmZnndQ_ifMRuSyz5n5tbVCHfH_9uI1SvrcnNLOf6_8UKKOWr0W4702iAulOp_t9mRO-Fi3N1lXCu3w/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCukaaWiGaIPYT1ZqoNt_2ovZE3RCSKipoYPfmwLafId3Xw8rA-ng7uKaNFjlmZnndQ_ifMRuSyz5n5tbVCHfH_9uI1SvrcnNLOf6_8UKKOWr0W4702iAulOp_t9mRO-Fi3N1lXCu3w/s320/003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472971873784466050" /></a><br />We had lots of fun, but we also visit a War Museum: "Liberty Park" in Overloon:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlId8xq3r1WoxDHwIA-xBJxd57ecy4svWy9ildFgjLFVSVSXWrUoP1rTuA6BvUlqjSZTF3kXMQJ4-SPvlJ6NVmAYNDyF8KaVUFMgzQvt7OH77AAJKzReODTYSSna0fsCjWEgnnXAphA/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlId8xq3r1WoxDHwIA-xBJxd57ecy4svWy9ildFgjLFVSVSXWrUoP1rTuA6BvUlqjSZTF3kXMQJ4-SPvlJ6NVmAYNDyF8KaVUFMgzQvt7OH77AAJKzReODTYSSna0fsCjWEgnnXAphA/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472972811255593106" /></a><br />Me and Dorine, still with wintercoats (cold animal also):<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-GaZRyRvAMoquLtFLNirxRV_u3o3-qceWiarag-V4D6zk3A-V6qddcRrhChU3LRvY6TXkFQ1pSeXguZVA8kyq2iDBphjU_U1lN6f3IN7QIXy38lcoBwcML4P4VE0iz-LbBFYtauWP9g/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-GaZRyRvAMoquLtFLNirxRV_u3o3-qceWiarag-V4D6zk3A-V6qddcRrhChU3LRvY6TXkFQ1pSeXguZVA8kyq2iDBphjU_U1lN6f3IN7QIXy38lcoBwcML4P4VE0iz-LbBFYtauWP9g/s320/018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472972804979632130" /></a><br /><br />I even managed to do some stitching on The Shores.

I bought the finishing stuff for it yesterday; I surely hope the PIF members will like what I made for them.<br /><br />Today I haven't stitch much, because I had to do some work done at the office. I also have a lot of reading to do, on all the blogs I love.

She doesn't react to messages on her blog or email. What should I do?<br />The give-a-way is still waiting for his next happy owner, but who?<br /><br />By the way, I doesn't have any pictures to show yet. I started on my third project for my PIF-members(yes ladies, I haven't forget all of you!), and when I have enough time left I'm stitching on the Shores.<br />January is almost over fortunately, so I must get more time to stitch instead of working all the time.<br /><br />Thank you for comments and stopping by.

Just to let you all know that I'm still here, but not very often. My work keeps me very busy this month. It even caused stomach-ache every morning. To much stress I think. Right now I also have to work on Saterdays and in the evenings.<br /><br />That's also the reason for less time for my Shores unfortunately. But I managed to put some more stitches on it.
