I love the rainbow...

And this is how it looked like yesterday, seen from my livingroom window.

But I sure love this sweet boy much, much more. He's 13 years today - I can't believe it....

Where patterns are concerned, I have no backbone - at all!

Okay then - I give in to the pressure!!!

After seing so many fabulous versions of the Ice Cream Dress, I finally caved in and bought the pattern.

I'm glad that you don't know how many times I put that particular pattern in the shop's shopping bag - and then pulled it out again, because I convinced myself that it was stupid. My children are far too old!

But now it's too late, and I'm sure that I (hopefully) find a little girl to make this dress for.

The lovely pattern which has just the exact amount of details, and still looks so elegant and simple when it's done.

P O I S...again

The Mario X-stitch is done and I only need to sew on the strap, before the bag for Anne-Sophie is done.

So now it's time to take out the - rather old - project with the peas.

I love all of those green shades and can't wait to start making the many tiny peas above the letters. It's funny how cross stitches carry me away at the moment...
