I received some beautiful gifts in the mail from Flora ,http://lacasadellebambolediflora.blogspot.com/ all the way from Italy .
It is absolutely gorgeous and she really spoiled me .
I love the little books she made , they are so real looking .
The jug with the flowers is so pretty and even in the little box , I found Easter cards and a little nest with eggs .
and then the tray she made , so clever.

My quilt and craft store

I am working hard on my shop , so I can show it of at our show in May .

I finished my doors and windows and I put the lighting in , I am now working on the out side and thanks to my dear friend Colleen ,from my club , who helped me with cutting all the timber for the outside it is starting to look  really good , I am very pleased with it . still a lot of work to do , like the outdoor stairs and the roof , but its getting there.

Saying goodbye

we went to the airport yesterday to say goodbye to my youngest sister , Helena and her husband and 3 kids, they are now on their way to Holland to live for at least 2 years and to join my brother Eeuwe who lives with his family in Amersfoort . they will be greatly missed.

I got some gorgeous Laura Ashley fabrics from Mercedes for Christmas and I redid this cute little couch with one of the fabrics, its looking gorgeous and it is going into the bedroom of my big house , for which I have all the windows and doors now  and so this house is finally in progress as you can see .
