Early Fall?

Looks  and feels like the end of something that was supposed to be summer...really didn't feel like posting pics of our summer vacation. Cause it means autumn is close...just doesn't feel ok here in Holland,where it seems like we're always waiting for better.
Better weather,better times,better...everything.
No i'm not depressed or down,in fact...I feel happy,looking at our near future....but where do you start explaining to friends and family?!?


Our here will be there in less than a year! We talk about it every day and we do know it's the right choice.
#tobeconnecticut ;)

P.S. Maybe I should  post more often..maybe I will....maybe it would be nice to know if there are friends and family members reading it....maybe in a while it is  a good blog to read,to see how we're doing ?!?
But hey..that's a lot a maybe's ^^

Mini Shoppings

Mini Market Bag...in pics it looks almost regular size,but it's perfect for a 6yr old ; ))

Almost there...

Waking up with a blue sky and sun...feels great,we've had a bit too much rain the last few weeks.
Last monday-morning-drama...ooh more like no-drama ahaha she was al done and ready 15mins earlier than usual...dressed for a warm,tropical day.
Friday summer vacation starts round 12...we'll have to wait  a few weeks till our Road-Trip to Portugal starts...can't wait!
I want to go ...yesterday!! 2 Wks Costa da Caparica,Praia de Saúde...on the beach :O
Start the day with a huge coffee,fresh bread and my toes in the sand...walkabout with Shortzz and Sally (before it's too crowded with people who can't understand a bully is not scary and just havin'fun ;))

Almost there....

Almost there......

Tuck Away Tote

Tried to follow a pattern..simply because I liked it,funny thing is - just can't do a pattern and leave it ahaha it always needs a Tools Twist...reason enough not to follow any pattern...start on  a bag and see how it grows ; )

SillyToolsBags ♥ For Sweet Girls

Guess I really need to find a way to sell my bags & totes!

✿ Sweet Polka Dot Apron ✿

Love those 50's aprons,the ones with  the heart shaped bib are so cute! Found  a lot of free patterns...but hey, it is not that hard to do without....is it?!?  It is!!  if you barely now how to work a sowingmachine ahaha  in theorie I do know .( most of the times I just start on something new and I'll learn along the way, as with crochet...started in December'10,by now I read the patterns but create a lot by just starting without)

Sooo...I had something I wanted to do for my CherryPops.
Found the pink polka dot fabric in the attic, bought quit some time ago(some ideas keep  coming back,untill it is hunting me) and ran to.... my mum ; )

She showed how to...almost a tutorial -woohoo- ♥ her for that, kinda pleased with the result..ok,it still needs a bit of edging round the bib,buttons( apron without the bib  is also very cute) and a little pocket. Maybe the ruffles on the shoulders...but  I'm getting there ; ))

Bags for Beans...

Had to find something new....no one wants a  beanie now ,funny how 'summer' started before easter!?!
Been busy for a month now...crochet beachbags should do it  ; )

O Mar Azul-BeachBags by Tools ...Yayyy

In 3 sizes (small-medium-large) small and medium in cotton,large in acryl (really love the shocking pink/black version)

Added a shell and a fishbone charm ( looks a bit like the fishbone necklace I've been wearing for ages,almost like a trademark ahaha but the  name fishbone is already taken )
