From my favourite magazine 'CROSS STITCHER,' last couple of months you can buy it at Fnac in Rio de Janeiro. The magazine cost an arm and a leg, I believe I payed over 20 euros for one copy. Well anyhow I cross stitched this cute Santa for the coming Christmas.

TRUDI DE KREEK  Beautiful work of Trudi de Kreek An outfit made ​​in the theme Delftware, consisting of a jacket, corset (fully decorated with a mosaic of Delft blue tiles) and a skirt. The jacket is entirely in cross stitch and embroidered with pictures of Delft blue tiles, samplers and proverbs. http://trudidekreek.nl

My daughter Myrthe is on the move, she and Andre bought a house in Utrecht, Holland.  After painting - decorating - shopping - cleaning etc. they finally moved.   I wish them a happy home and can't wait to see it, next time I travel to Holland.  Well first a card for the New Home                                                                                    

 Between my big projects I cross stitch some postcards, here is one them. It's  already on the way to my friend Sandra in Scotland. She has sent me a wonderful calendar of Aberdeen, so every month I go down memory lane.                                                  THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR SANDRA.
