vánoční háčkovaná girlanda

Opět troška vánočního tvoření, nyní něco háčkovaného. Girlandu jsem dělala z Cotton Linen, kterou si můžete koupit u mne http://www.sar-latky.cz/www-sar-latky-cz/eshop/6-1-LEN-PRIZE , mám ji v několika barvách. Popis na srdíčko jsem upravila, je menší a baculatější, pokud by měl někdo zájem o popis, prosím, napište, ráda pošlu mailíkem.

Girlandu tvořím ještě jednu, kde srdíčka jsou vedle sebe. Také to nevypadá špatně, řekla bych ideální na dveře.

Krásný večer a děkuji všem za přízeň.

Raining cats and dogs !!

Yesterday my husband and our big boy went to Sentul City (located ouside Jakarta, south), because there was the annual family gathering with the employees of ENI, the company which my husband is working for.
I've made a selection of pics to show you what they did during the morning.

When they arrived, around 8am, it was sunny. Matteo had the chance to try the "flying fox", so he prepared himself with all the safety garments required and he climbed a high tower....to me, too high!

He had a lot of fun and I truly believe him! After this, he started to play football with some of the kids that joined in. Even the rain "wanted" to share the moment,so.... Take a look at some pics....

He didn't play football only, noooo, he wanted even to build a dam....

Hard job, I have to say! As you see, all the kids had a lot of fun! The mums a little less when they got back home to wash the clothes, soggy and deeply dirty (red argyle, sigh!)....Oh, what fun......!!!!

I spent my morning at home, instead, with my little boy. No rain here, only a lot of crafts to finish and to enjoy! Good enough for me!

The project is close to the end! Just some little extras and you'll see it in all his splendour!

See you soon, xxxx

A sneak peek

Dear readers, I want to thank you for all of your sweet comments and received emails on my post about Mango! I was so surprised and deeply touched by your lovely and supporting words. Thank you so much!

A few weeks ago I posted about one of the latest LEFEVRE INTERIORS’ projects we were working on HERE. The project is almost finished and yesterday we were very busy hanging draperies. We are not finished yet but I do hope that one of the next days I will be able to post a few ‘after’ pictures of the finished project on my blog.

Today I will give you yet a sneak peek into the room.

Matrioska #2!

This "old" acquaintance has been sewn in place, but which one? Little by little you'll discover it....!
But today you'll find a new friend! Follow me!!!

A step by step introduction of this little miss Matrioska! Isn't she cute? She is not as big as her "sister", but big enough to be a pocket for a smartphone, for example. Tomorrow I'll sew her on.... WHAT??
Well, my dear friends.....you have to be really patient!

See you soon, xxx

My new love

I might think that some of you do know that I started learning horse back riding a year ago.

As a child I dreamed about learning horseback riding and having a horse of my own. But my parents were very anxious about it and that is why I had not the opportunity to start taking riding lessons in my childhood.

Since we moved to the countryside about 5 years ago, I noticed horses and horseriders all around because there are a lot of equestrian schools and horse breeding farms in our neighbourhood.

I told Jan that I was so sorry to not have had the opportunity to learn horseriding as a child and that I felt too ‘old’ to start now.

But Jan encouraged me and said that if I really wanted to start learning it, I had to take my chance, even at my age!

And so I did!!!

A year ago I pulled my boots on and took my chance! I took lessons dressage at a local manège and believe it or not, after a few falls and ups (literally!!!),

and many lessons later, I felt ready for my own horse!!! Can you believe it!

And here she is! My new love, Mango.

Mango

Mango is a 17 year old mare and is of German origine. Her mother is a Hanoverian and her father is an Oldenburg horse, both known for their gentle character.

I ride Mango since the month of May and she is so sweet, so adorable and understanding!! It is so important that as a beginner equestrian, you choose ‘a horse that is able to write and to read’ (a saying we often use here)! So Mango is a 17 years old mare and she is used to have beginners horse riding on her back.

In fact she learned me a lot these past months and she even loves to jump!! She won several jumping competitions.

I am definitely not aiming to start jumping!! Oh no! I will be very satisfied If I could make some progress in dressage in the near future. I will never become a professional equestrian but I don’t care!

My real aim is to enjoy being with her, to ride on her back a few times a week, to take care of her and to give her the opportunity to have a pleasant retirement. She deserves this!

Jan and me and our new family-member.

Sorry for the blurry photos, all taken with my cell phone!

Me, very concentrated of course!

With this post I want to thank my husband Jan for encouraging and supporting me to make my child’s dream come true!!

Thank you dear!

Matrioska!!!

It has been a long time since I've started the idea to design my own matrioska....So a couple of days ago, I've decided to begin this challenge!

Since very young, I 've commenced to collect the traditional nest dolls. They are so colourful and a real joy to look at and to touch . Of course I own the classic ones, but I enjoy even the new ones with animals or different ladies from all around the world! I like them even on fabrics or buttons, so why not one in felt?

The felt matrioska is ready now! I like her so much and I'm really delighted with the result! As you can see, it's an applique', but on what?
Well, you'll see it in the next few days!!!!

Have fun, xxx
