I am still very happy with my swap from this generous lovely sweet Kimmie...

I am sometimes happily surprised at what a wonderful people there are 

on  our mother planet. 

Ok time for pictures 

Look a lot of gifts !! Joepieeeee 

Its so much, woll, paper, beads, flowers, you name it
for every hobby of mine there's something there.
How utterly sweetttttttt !!!

And the handmade buttons I really wanted and am very glad with

Here is what I send to her

My pictures are not so great, because I took them at night 

so please excuse me for that....

Here is the whole lot; including gifts for the others members of her family aswell

All wrapped up 

The bracelet I decided to make for here to cheer her up for the hollidays.
She alsoo got the keyhangers she liked so much...

Lieve Kimmie ontzettend bedankt voor al het moois wat je hebt gestuurd. 

Alleen het feit alleen al dat iemand zoveel moeite doet voor een ander warmt mijn hart. 

Dank je wel lieverd. Dikke kus...

Dear Kimmie, thanks a lot for all the beautiful things you send. 

Just the fact alone that someone makes a lot of efford for somebody else 

warms my heart. 

Thank you very much, youre a darling. Big Kiss !!!

Playing with paper, yarn and beads

Playing with paper resulted in another X-mas star

I really love making these 

my son Manuel had so much fun with stamping 

He was quite surprised when his mum 

suddenly started cutting a potato 

What are you doing, he asked nosy as he is..

I am making a stamp 

Oh nice can I stamp then mum 

Sure honey....

These are from a Free pattern from a dear friend

Antoinette... You can find her webshop here

And last but not least 

playing with beads...

I had to start over and over since I just didn't get it!!

Put it aside for a while and tried again 

Then I still had to start over once more pfff

and then finally I saw the lightbulb on how to make this necklace 

Lysandra

A pattern from Cent perles 

Monkeybusiness

After a call to crochet amigurumi's for children in the Dominican Republic 

I pitched in and created this naughty monkey...

Added some more that were still waiting for a new home 

and a trip they went... 

Here is the suitcase the girl took with her

As you can see a lot of people helped out.

She is going to put smiles on a lot of little ones faces!!!

Playing with paper

I first had an atc swap on swapbott

I am glad she liked them all...

Next I was blogging around this week for as long as my pc is still working 

cause its having a lot of nasty difficulties lately

I came across this great tut on a blog

Kath's blog

She made a lovely christmas star and I had to give that a go of course

Here is what me and my son came up with 

I think it came out greatttttt !!! So Kathy thanks a bundle for this great tut

We had so much fun making this....
