summerly things

Wonderfull yarn from MoonWise
This one is called Olive, great colour and all handdyed
Super customerservice and very fast shipping
check the shop!
A week ago: sitting at De Kralingse Plas, carving my first stamp.
Couldn't wait to get the right stamprubber, so I use an old gummetje.

And on our balcony: a triple bubble!
in NL: "een drielingbel"

We're heading our last week before the summer really start.
The Ballee shops will be closed from 15 july-31 august
so if you want to order something
do it now!

Has your summer started already?
What are YOU doing?
