very free translation: "wanna keep these on forever"

How happy can a mother be :)

how to make a little Vaderdag Book tutorial

HOW TO MAKE A LITTLE BOOK

1. collect nice paper

I used wallpaper samples (Hubo, Gamma)

2. fold the paper once

stamp/write/paint/draw

3. put the pages together

5. sew it, on the fold, with strong thread.

I used Quiltcotton/polyester.

this little book is for my father

and the children (6 and 3) made it.

title: The Animal Stamp Book

but the real, uncencured title is a little bit different,

too rude to translate :)

colour

This weekend I will go to Antwerp.

We (a set of girls) will have a craftmeeting.

And learn eachother things.

So I will give "how to crochet a flower"

and selected some cottons from my stash

I just LOVE all these colours

and what I love the most:

yarn that's wounded in balls, just by hand

all yarn looks better in handmade balls

even better then in centerpulled things (skeins?)

warning, last picture can be shocking!

This is a post about a normal day in my life.

two days a week I work on a "cluster 2" school where I teach

deaf, autistic, hardhearing, esm-ers and other children with communication problems

from 12-14 years old

I'm a drama teacher

to see what I do in a lesson, see the last picture..

we cut legs... and use ketchup .. :)

after a long hard day I can really enjoy ironing my thrifted

fabrics

this is an old Portugese apron

a "doorstop" tablecloth


and yesterday I've made big coasters for 2 things:
like a bottle and a glass

and now the bloody picture:

Ballee Oilcloth Bag

After a lovely morning on the market and Dudok

(knitting with 10 girls!)

time for sewing

a gift for a friend I will visit next week

red/white oilcloth bag

Didn't use a pattern, just looked at a favorite bag,
measured it, and sewed along.

Icarus ::2::

Icarus (Ravelry link) is slowly getting bigger

Love the yarn, the pattern and the repeat-ness of it.
