Last week I started sewing the birthdaypressents for the twin boys of my sister. I decided to make them a pullover from fleece. So I went to Alkmaar city and bought 4 meters of fleece 2 in carrot orange and 2 in bright green. Than it was cut and mix time and I ended up with 2 pullovers that are green with orange accents and orange with green accents. I forgot to take pictures though….. shame on me. But they liked their pullovers and that is what counts! Firts thing my sister asked me: can you make me those pullovers with a zipper please? 4 VESTS to be made than! lol. I am getting payed for those so that is a good thing. I have started to save money to buy me one of these . They are expencive but I realy want one. So I decided to try and make bags and childerens clothings to sell  so I can raise some money to buy me one…. yep this is going to be the plan but it will take me years….i know i know…lol

Then somewhere in the middle of that week i got the flue… no not the mexican but the normal season flue…. I felt terrible and had high fevers. than I had to bring my little prince in for his 1st mexican flue shot and he reacted horrible to it. he developed high fevers and became realy ill… i decided to leave the 2nd shot for what it is… we are not going back there…..ever again if it depends on me.
The bag I made a couple of weeks ago is almost finished, only a few hang and closing stuf to be attached and than that is fini as well…
I liked the idea the teacher had ( I made this during a workshop beginning of november ) but in the end I kept on making changes to personalize the endresult. I made a  boxed bottom and some closing loops with d-rings. The whole thing is pink/red/white and I used all things that were in my stash anyway. So it realy didn’t cost that much money to make it.
Than after I finaly finished the pullovers last week, I started on the disapearing 9 patch quilt for my pince, I started this quilt when he was only a few weeks old…. he will turn 1 on the 5th of December. It will be a 1 person bedquilt, when he is old enough to sleep in a normal bed the darn dino-quilt will be finished… I hope… lol. It has lots and lots of colors; pink/purple/green/yellow/bleu/orange…. almost every color of the rainbow. I also need to get thinking about something quilty for my sis in law. She is deu the beginning of Jan. andthe little one needs to have something nice to cuddle up in…. just don’t know what… oh well.. it’ll come to me.
Than last friday I went on a surprise tripp to my sister, she turned 40 and didn’t know I was comming over. We had good tasty “limburgse vlaai” and on saturday I went home again ( with a detour because I bought some fleece for the vests and other nice couplons that were half price ). yep… that’s about it. nothing more to tell…. oh wait
This afternoon we ( hubby, princess, prince and moi ) are going to see SINTERKLAAS… google him and find out that the santa claus is in fact: SINTERKLAAS !!!! he gives pressents to little childeren rides on a white horse on the roofs of the houses, he has helpers called “zwarte piet” meaning something like black peter. ( they became black because they have to go through chimneys and there is a lot of black stuff in there ) Sinterklaas only gives presents to nice kids, he has a book with all the names of every child and wether they are nice or naughty…. Do you see the simelarity’s? hahahaha yes, we have Sinterklaas you have Santa claus…..sounds almost the same…. Anyway, we are going to visit him at hubby’s work today and I can’t wait to see my princesses face when she’ll see him… she is a strong believer!
Have a happy Sunday you all!
