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

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.

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

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!!!
