Photos of my work have been published in THE NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CROCHET TECHNIQUES by Jan Eaton.
I got two books. One is showing off in my magazine rack and the other one I give away (signed by moi)
Want to improve your crochet skills?

Leave a message and I will ask Pippa to choose a winner on Friday.

The garden doors are open
In between the showers
I'm in the garden or else inside...

Being a big fan of Sissy Boy since my teens,
I was pleasantly surprised by the message that I am one the winners of the 30th anniversary book of Sissy Boy.

In the 25th anniversary book published in spring 2007, a few pictures of Pippa and me were featured.

When we visited the SB shop in Breda 5 years ago, we got the book as a gift from the storemanager, who had recognized us as regular customers in the book.

Now we won the book!

The beautiful book represents the classy SB style through the years.
It's a tribute to the founder Michael Smit.
Reading the handwritten text of Michael in the 25th anniverery book, really touched me yesterday.

Sissy Boy is my favorite store in the Netherlands and I can't imagine my wardrobe and home without Sissy Boy...

The old white wooden garden bench moved to the front yard recently.
That's a very good reason to order a new Fermob bench for the garden.
What colour?
It's difficult to choose.
The names of all those colours are as pretty as the colors themselves.
We already have a Carrot chair, Savanna and Willow Green loungers.
It actually is pretty in every single colour I think.
We picked Peony Pink.
Oh, it is so pretty! (I'm a Fermob fan at heart)
The bench may stay indoors for a few days,
before it will be our new backyard bench.
