Monday, Tuesday.

 

Since there is not so much to photograph outside at the moment I am going to show some more  of the crafts I made during the years. Somebody asked what the knitting was for, well,  it is going to be a scarf.

I am decluttering big time  and I have to get rid of loads of stuff.  I have two big baskets full of  beautiful wool , from years back also so I thought I had better do something with it.  Too good to throw out. The little bag I crocheted last week of very thick wool I had for ages. I found an old one I made some  40 years ago , the colors then  were brown and green. Not nice. The pillow cover I started a few years ago , I just had to crochet a few more rounds of the silk yarn to finish it. I also found some granny squares here and there so I am going to make some more for an afghan or so.

Weekend.

 

For Weekend reflections and pink Saturday I have some photo’s I made here in the house.  There is quite a bit of pink in it this time .

Friends asked me about my hobbies and why never showing something. I have been needle working most of my life, only quilting for about 7 years. What I have here is just a very little bit of what I made all these years. Most of what I made I gave away or it is stashed away. I have some quilts hanging in the house and I don’t like taking them down.  :)) I might make more photo’s some other time.

Skywatch Friday.

 

 

On some days we get a beautiful sunrise and sundown.  So also this week when the sky was not grey because of rain or snow. I always try to get my camera immediately because the sky changes every second .

 

The large photo is of the sunrise, the others of sundown.

Monday, Tuesday.

 

We are in the middle of a rain period  .It is raining now, it did rain last week and it will rain again this next week.

We went for a ride in the country because we thought it would be dry for a few hours. On one country road we were warned for overflowing water as it has rained so much. AS you can see on one photo you can see how high the water was. A bit later it started raining again as you can see on one geese photo. We were waiting for a ferry when these geese came walking by . They were probably seeing if there was any food coming from the cars waiting there in line.  So funny. Here are my photo’s to show. I made them from the car.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see it had just started to rain. Sorry for the drops.

 

 

Waiting for the ferry.

Friday.

 

 

Yesterday we went for a drive in the country. It has been a long time since we did that because of the weather mainly. The weather was not really good , the weatherman said rain and you can see by the clouds  that is was going to. But anyway , we went , also because we had some errands to run. And it did rain later.

What you see here is Holland in wintertime.

Wintery Blue Monday.

More wintery photo’s today. As I wasn’t able to go out and make photo’s due to circumstances I used these  older ones and  I needed some blue for Sally.We had lots of snow again yesterday but today it started to rain and now it is all gone.

I don’t really mind, we had enough.

Winter weekend.

 

I am afraid I have nothing more to show than snow and ice again. And a little bit of pink, but mostly black and white.  I will be glad when we get some color in nature. I am out of inspiration .

 

 

Kids are having so much fun on the ice.

 

 

 

A little color in the house.

We have snow here so I had to go out and get some photo´s.  Here they are. For a bit of color  I took a photo of my pink hyacinths.

 

 

Somebody came to feed the geese and ducks.

Sorry to say I don’t have much inspiration these days.  Maybe a bit of the winter blues.

The weather is a lot better, we are going to get frost and sunshine in  the next days. Maybe I can get out and make some photo’s then.  I haven’t had a chance yet.  Because of that I am using photo’s from my files . I made these more than two years ago so you probably will not remember them.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

 

It is that time of the week again. Getting ready for Alphabe Thursday. This week we study the letter H.

I found words and photo’s to go with that letter.

Like  Horse and Harbor , Hands and Hair, Heart and Hockey.

And last but not least   there is Hollywood.

 

 

 

 

Here I have some photo’s of a few of my favorite HOLLYWOOD movie stars from long ago.

Do you remember ?

I still have  many more photo’s of them.

Have a nice week.

Monday, Tuesday memes.

 

This time of year there is not much color outside, just dull and grey , so I got some photo’s from my files and made a colorful collage .

I am so looking forward to all the colors coming back , just a few more months.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

This week I have two letters for Ms matlocks class, the F and G.  Last week I was too busy too attend class, due to Christmas.

So here we go with the letter F. I only found fireworks. There is lots and lots of fireworks on New Years eve here in Holland and so there was also a lot  right in front of my window. I made lots of photo’s because the view was spectacular but I only picked a few to show here.

 

 

 

And then I have photo’s for the letter G.  Last year we visited  a Bed and breakfast England . The lady of the house had this beautiful English country GARDEN.

Friday.

 

Christmas is over and we are getting ready for the New Year.  But first my last Friday photo’s for this year.

These photo’s  show the weather over here these last few weeks, grey skies and rain, kind of depressing.

Good we have Christmas and candles in the home to make it look more friendly. ))
