A big update and an award!!!!

Life can be cruel sometimes. In my family lots of things are happening right now. I put all my energy in working, study and relationsships. So not much stitching done and also not in the mood for stitching.

The sun is shining again when bloggerfriends sent me, for example, an award, named:
The sunshine award


Thank you so much Patti for this sunny award. I needed this a lot and still do. You made my day very sunny!

And the rules for this award are:

1. Put the logo on your blog or within a post
2. Pass the award to 12 Bloggers
3. Link the nominees within your post
4. Let them know they receive this award by communicating on their blog
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award

Here are my twelve bloggers:

1. Siobhan
2. Carin
3. Kim
4. Simone
5. Angela
6. Mylene
7. Lydia
8. Mayté
9. Terri
10. Melissa
11. Irina
12. Susan

Another example for a sunny day is when I received the PIF from Irina!
The hole package: a little notebook, chocolate, magnets and a very lovely sissorfob!

Did see know I'm a big coffee addict?

I didn't stitch much, but a little. So here is my newest progress: A mother's love needleroll from Shephard's Bush:


And two pictures of the Shores could be found here! You are all still welcome to join this blog.

And at least, but not least: my two big girls, Emma and Dorine, both have a new swimmingcertificate: Emma her 4th and Dorine her 3rd.





So also a lot of good things happened. And this is what keeps me going.
I hope you enjoyd reading my post again.

Lots of hugs and love and till next time...

3. Nominate 8 other blogs
4. Add their links to your blog

I'm sorry that I haven't post any pictures lately. My father is in the hospital again and he isn't doing very well. I tried to stitch every evening, to keep my mind off.

Till next time, thank you for visiting!

I received an award! And my new stash from the fair!

I was totally surprised when I read the blog from Terri. She had given me an award: the Special Friends Award and "Love" Pendant. The description for this award reads:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These Kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propogated. Please give more attention to these kind of writers. When you pass this award along please include these guidelines. I am to choose eight friends to share this with".



Thank you Terri for this wonderful award.
Now I'm going to pass this award to seven people. Although it's very hard to choose from all the lovely people I met here. Everybody have a special place in my heart!

I sent the award to:

1. Annemiek
2. Annemarie
3. Mylene
4. Barbara
5. Conny
6. Anne
7. Lisa

I've promised you a picture of my new stash from the fair in Zwolle. I'm very happy with it.


Thank you for looking, lots of hugs!
