A stamp of a Christmas tree giveaway

Do you like to win this Christmas-tree stamp. Then go to the blog of my dear blogfriend Ann. Her blog is full with beautiful paperwork... The giveaway is only for followers and is open till the first of december.
Here is an example of what you could make with the giveaway present.

There is a new rooster in the courtyard

The last rooster, his name was Karel, was not a sweet one. He was aggressive and  attacked people especially from behind. Everybody, even the farmer neighbor, tried to educate him but  in vane..... When i asked for advice at the animal market, the only answer was, you need to kill him because he will be dangerous for kids and also for your eyes. So I am very sorry Karel, but our neighbor killed him.

Now there is a very sweet new rooster, he is a Brahma, very colorful and he wears 'socks'. His name is BRAM .

Congratulations my american friends I am so proud of you and so happy for you.

I have been very busy.....

I have been very busy for the Christmas market of my club Sarzay creatif.
I was knitting, patching, crocheting , sewing and decorating.
I'll show you the things I made:

I made some garlands with small fishes, so cute! Here is the pattern.

The pattern of the crochet heart is on Karin's blog. I decorated with baboeska's and beads. 

This baby blanket  is made with fabric that I received as a member of a fabric club.  It was not my fabric at all too sweet for me. But I think it's nice for a baby blanket....

I had this piece of fabric for ages, did not know what to do with it. When I heard that the Sarzay creatif club every year with Christmas sends a parcel to the baby ward in the hospital I made a babyblanket for this parcel. I sandwiched the fabric with Hobbs 80/20, bought a nice background and quilting it by machine.  Isn't it cute.....

To be continued.

The fifth of november is the first day of the coin purse blog-hop...
