Queens Day celebrations today!

 Let's see what's selling in Baarn!

 A cappuccino break after the first round!

 Then after the second round I knew what to do with

 the lovely hand made paper and wooden spools

 created by Saskia of Sas- Things, Creative Creations!

After dumping out the box I see that I might need a few more!

 Sorted and wound and wound threads onto included cards!

 The throw away pile!      

Thanks to Dutch Girl Quilting and Journey of a Quilter for ideas! Now, I think I have enough floss to get the embroidery started on Down in the Garden!  Next big challenge this week- transfering pattern to fabric. I think I have enough sharp Ikea pencils for that! But wait, this weekend is the Open European Quilt Championships! More ideas! http://www.oeqc.eu/

 A great day in the Garden! Now, just have to wait

 for the 19th of May! Geranium Market! And Begonias!

Cleaned up the Hosta Border. What's that?!

Room for two more pots! To the Action!

Next week I'll be making Garlic Extract!

 Begonias !

 Did you know that there's a Scottish Begonia Society?

So this is how deep you plant them!

 Then I moved those there!

 And placed these here!

 Then tried them out on the other side too!

Counted and measured! Just 18 more to go!

And there's still room for one of these!

 Some folk here are getting ready for Queen's Day,30th April!

There will be more photo's on Monday about that! 

 Look at this quilt block!

 It's all in the details, don't you think?

 Great idea!

 I'll have to try this!

 It's all part of Saskia's House! Genius!

Something nice is happening over at the neighbours!

What a fun, creative with saw and glue kind of day!

A sunny weeding kind of a day!

Coming soon!  "Name that Weed" quiz!

It's time to make Garlic Extract for the Hostas!

 Tulips and Roses! What a treat!

 Just like on English Teacups!

 Then dinner at a finely set table!
