The soft pink cushions with inner cushions ; )

YESSS....... the inner cushions FINALLY arrived !! = )
So time to place them in the soft pink covers and to take in picture,
now the sun was shinning at that moment so the quality isn't great.
I'm REALLY loving the soft pink colour... what do you think !?!?

And don't you just LOVE these GORGEOUS "gerbera's" !?!?
They are soft "yellow" / off white
and the flowers are bigger then the regular size gerbera's.
It really feels like springtime now ; )

Thanks for visiting my blog again.... have a lovely evening !

Magnolia "Butterfly Dreams" garland (slinger)

Hi everyone, finally a new creation made by little old me....
it has been awhile so it was time for something new ! ; )

This time a Magnolia garland (slinger) and fair is fair Nicole is the
one who "inspired" me....
I used seven stamps from the new Magnolia "Butterfly Dreams" collection,
Maja Design "Crea Diem" paper and some string.



It has taken me two days.... but it was well worth it !! = )
Hope you like this new creation !?

Have a lovely evening and until next time

You get soooo greedy......... =P

Last Friday was sooo much fun and look at what I bought....
ohhhh you get soooo greedy ! =P

First thing I did was visited Miekelotte to buy the new Magnolia
stamps from the Butterfly Dreams collection and asked
Neline to sign her new book "Kaarten uit Scandinavië"

Here she is giving a workshop to a couple of people later that day.
I went back to buy another card from Neline, I had already bought
2 Magnolia cards from her.... but loved the Eline Pellinkhof also, haha ; )
Lucky enough it was still there...... pffff !!



Don't you just LOVE her creations !?!?!?
I do...... and Neline, your cards got a special place.....
they stand in a showcase (vitrinekast)
I'll try to take a picture later this week, right now the sun is shinning
and all I get is a reflection =/

Now it's time to make dinner.......
thanks for dropping by and have a nice day !! = )

Huey, Louie & Dewey

It all started with one egg

And then there were three.....

Huey, Louie & Dewey are getting feathers ; )

And before you know it they are ready to fly out !


Aren't they...... CUTE !?!?
From egg(s) until they fly out.... all within 2 weeks = )

It's already a little bit Easter over here = )

Hello my dear followers.... today I wanted to show you guys
that it's already a little bit Easter over here = )
What you see is a REAL blackbirds nest under a Bell Jar,
with real lapwings (kievit) eggs & two fake easter eggs
from the garden center.... so simple but so beautiful !!

Now... you probably are thinking
"A real blackbirds nest, doesn't that start to smell !?"
No... if the blackbirds never lay eggs
or the eggs were robbed early on, you are OK ; )

It's probably the last real blackbirds nest I found,
because we are getting a new garden.... most of the
garden is already gone for now and the blackbirds are
already looking for a good place to make a nest, haha.
It's funny to see them sit there with a look on their face like
"Where is everything !?!?" hahaha... lol ! =P

Two years ago we had a nest with three little blackbirds in it,
I'll show some of the pictures that I made...
but I need find them on the old computer and that one
is soooooo slow, but they look so adorable.
They were our own little Huey, Louie & Dewey, haha ; )

Now it's time to make dinner..... thanks for visiting
my blog again & have a nice evening

This time not a creation by me but from Cora 
because she makes such lovely cards
(and sometimes sells them) that I just had to buy one of her !! = )

because it looks so much better in real life ; )
Anyways, go and have a look at her blog to see more cute & lovely creations....

And Cora for you a great big hug

"I will be back !" haha ; )
