As of tomorrow, we will have 1 more little familymember to count… my dear little princess is getting a rabbit for her birthday. She doesn’t know it yet though otherwise she would be overexcited and sick.

Real life is catching up on me lately. Yes I do read a lot of blogs but seam to have turned my back on my own blog. There is just a lot going on in my life at the moment. I have been clearing out and cleaning up my house; Brought a lot of stuff to the second-hand shop so it will get a new life somewhere else. Also a lot of my clothing is packed in bin-bags and ready to be transported to Hungaria. Even my little princess decided that the poor kids in the Hungarian orfan-house could use a lot of her cuddly toys so they too went into the bin-bags and on transport to Hungaria.. Don’t I have a sweet girl or what?
The attic is slowly being transformed into my sewingroom. It is cleared out and all the stuff that is in there needs to find a definitive space…. we went to IKEA and bought cabinets to be used for making my sewing-desk. In these cabinets is space to put my books and magazine’s in. After that, we went to PRAXIS and bought a couple of tabletops made out of sturdy oak. I can’t wait to be able to go upstairs ans sew without thinking of the mess I have to clean up because we need the table for dinner!

Now that I have all my fabrics in 1 spot I can see I have way, way, waaaaaaaay enough fabric to last me at least 2 years worth of sewing. So I think I need to put an end to the buying of fabrics for at least half a year.
I also finaly found my 2 QIF projects I started almost a year ago, had a look at them and decided to make something else…. duhh well it at least means that I am still working on them and not forgetting it at all….
See? that’s why clearing out your house every once and again is good for you… you find your stuff again!

I am trying to read the book the davinci code from D. Brown but I hardly find the time to sit down and read, there is so much to do at the moment!
I love to read though and I realy hope I will get time for myself eventualy after my whole house is ready and done.

Today I bought a new quilt magazine and I like it, maybe I’ll get me a subscription, who knows?!
Oh yeah in my blog absence we went on a short holiday to Germany. We all loved it and even my husband thinks we should go back some day when the little prince has grown a bit. We went to the vinyard erea and ofcourse we bought a couple of bottles with white and red wine. If you ever get in the erea of the Moesel ( river ) go and buy yourself some of those white and red wines, they are fabulous!
Before we went on the trip I tried to find out if there was a quiltshop in town, I couldn’t find one.
Than I found a little shop selling selfmade bags, cousions lavendlebags etc etc . I asked if there was a good shop with quiltfabrics somewhere nearby and the nice woman behind the counter told me the way…. oh how my husband would have wanted her to shut up! lol.
I could not resist and had to have a look for my self.
The shop is in Traben-Trarbach and it’s name is “Handarbeitsstube Trasser “. It is a hobby-shop, meaning there is also other stuff beside fabrics. She has yarn for knitting and crochet, she has all kinds of things and I realy loved being there! The owners are such nice people! If you ever get to this store, tell them I said HI! okay?
As soon as the workbench is up and tested I will show you pictures of what is to become my realm….
