It's not Christmas anymore, but I'm almost equally busy craft making, and I'm loving it ! The photo above shows a needlebook (gift for a friend) I've been making these last two days. It's been fun making it & I hope this evening & tomorrow will be as crafty. I still have other gifts for friends to make, and parcels to send next week.This morning was a bit lazy, and this afternoon, the boys & Chris went to do some sleigh rides while there is still snow enough to make them.
And in the meantime ... I started my BDABCM Week 2 (Hall & hall closets) ... I hoovered (it's been a daily chore this week), and cleaned approx. two thirds of the hall with a sponge & my homemade eco-cleaner spray. Phew, my right hand still hurts ! I also cleaned the shoe closet. I still have two closets & the last third of the hall. (must add that the hall is made of a brown carpet)OK, will leave you with two videos that I adoooooore & that gets me so motivated !! Don't forget to turn the speakers on ...Have a fab weekend everyone !! oxoxo big hugs
Sonia, this needlebook is adorable!!!! Yesterday sped away with unexpected events -- so no sewing time, but today is looking very good for my wristwarmer adventure = }
ReplyDeleteand oh my, those videos -- how amazing is that!
I'm so needing to BDABCM.... you continue to be an inspiration = } Deb
love your little needlebook.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed you have added me to your friends list! thank you!
your tutorial is very well written, and easy to follow.Actually, Martha Stewart's site could learn something from it. Yesterday I was reading about her tied quilt idea, but got so confused by the way it was written (and no photos either), that I gave up and googled them instead. Just a few photo demonstrations later I'd 'got it'.
Yes, it's still very cold here. The weather people said it was going to get slightly milder this weekend, but so far they are totally wrong!
have a lovely weekend, and stay warm :O) x
Hi Sonia, its lovely to see Chris being able to spend some time in the snow with the boys. The needle book looks so beautiful, lovely work hon.
ReplyDeleteJust loved the videos, it must have taken ages to film.
Happy Sat xx
Bonsoir Sonia! Oh la la, that needle book is just adorable :-) And the videos were wonderful, thanks so much for sharing!! I bet the boys had a blast playing in the snow too!! :-)
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

I must say it again, I LOVE the needle book! Makes me want to go make one right now! But I'm too tired...
ReplyDeleteI'm still adjusting to the idea that Paris gets that much snow. I had no idea. We get NO snow here, and my kids keep asking us to take them somewhere where it snows. Now I can suggest Paris! LOL
Great videos. Thanks for sharing!
Sonia the little needle work book is so sweet. Its simple yet effective, I am sure your friend will love it...
