* ALICE MARGAUX *

Two dear friends, Mark  from Scotland and Karen from Brasil got married last saturday in Scotland.  The wedding was in a castle and it was a traditional scottish wedding with a brazilian touch.  There was a piper, men in kilts and the brasilian flag and loads of beijos (kisses). MARK AND KAREN  I wish you both  a lifetime full of romance, happiness and prosperity together!!!!!!!!!!

My New Orleans project is finished, finally.  It took a loads of hours stitching. Every time we relocate to another country I start with a new project.  This - Girl on a swing - is an oldie, actually from the nineties.  I bought the kit a long time ago in Holland and was on sale.  I think half price or so.                I have no idea what I gonna do with it, maybe a pillow, a bag or ?                   But one thing is for sure it will be a gift for  my granddaughter.                    And for now this - Girl on a swing - stays in a box with other finished projects.

A hugh for my grand daughter Amarins.  What can you do when she is so far a way, yes I cross stitched  a card with a hugging bear for her.  I see her regular via Skype, her smiles and all those lovely baby things but sometimes  you just want to kiss and hold her.  Sweet Amarins, love you.

                                                        Nijntje / Miffi is finished !!!                                    It was a gift for my first grand daughter AMARINS JULIA.           She was born in Utrecht the Netherlands which is also the birthplace of Nijntje / Miffi.                    My daughter Myrthe promised me, that she will buy a nice frame for the embroidery.
