I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and lots of inspiration in 2008!

Christmas classics

When my children were younger, we had our classics in the Christmas holidays. I used to read them books like "Peter and the wolf"

and "A Christmas Carol".

And we had our movie classics of course: "The Snowman", "The wizard of Oz", old Disney movies like "Pinocchio"...

Watching "The Snowman" is soo nice, try it if you don't know it already!

Christmas embroidery

For the third block of Lucy's quilt, I'm going to embroider cute winter girls. Not my own design, it's from my Japanese embroidery book.

Block#2

A winter walk

When King Winter passes by...

All work and no play...

I have a lot of work to finish, drawing and also working on the computer.

But that didn't stop me from decorating the christmas tree. I have another week to get a bit in the mood... It seems like Christmas is arriving earlier every year!

Snowy white

I guess it will be another Christmas without snow here, so this will have to do! In case you want to make your own mosaic, you have to join Flickr, and then you start collecting your favorites. When you go here, you can start making mosaics. It's fun!

Chocolate and clementines for the children, to celebrate St. Nicholas.

A day in Bruges

Last Friday, I could drive to Bruges with a friend , because she had to work there. A nice opportunity to spend a day in this beautiful, medieval town.


It was a very gloomy, dark day, but the lack of sunshine gave everything a mysterious atmosphere.

A golden knight to lighten up the Basilica of the Holy Blood.




Windowshopping. Chocolate everywhere. And lace of course, but I forgot to take pictures of that! (I think that's because almost everybody in my husbands family has a lace-shop!)
