Gisteren startte het weekend hier weer met een lekker zonnetje en maar iets kouder als eerder deze week, dus helemaal goed om de handen in de tuin uit de mouwen te steken. Nu is ons terras, de paden en de zitkuil (jawel die hebben wij en het is heerlijk beschut zitten daar) helemaal onder handen genomen met groene zeep en een hele hoop water en weer helemaal droog. Heerlijk al die groene aanslag van de hele winter eraf! De tafels zijn weer schoon, de teak houten bank is geschuurd en opnieuw in de olie gezet. Vandaag alleen maar de stoelen erbij zetten en we hebben, bij mooi weer, een veel grotere leefruimte; zo heerlijk!
Maar, na al dat en nog meer in huis gedaan te hebben, was ik naarstig toe aan lekker neerploffen en niet veel doen...dus van stempelen kwam niets meer. Dus vandaag aan de gang gegaan en de zondag doormidden gehakt met wat me-time. Heerlijk zo'n dag! Dit is wat ik aan het einde van die 'sessie' op mijn werktafel had liggen:
Yesterday the weekend started here again with sunshine and only just a bit colder as earlier this week, Perfect weather to do a lot in the garden. And now our terras, paths and the sitting pit (yes; we have one and it is so good to sit there; it is such a sheltered place) have all been cleaned with organic soap and lots of water and dry again. So good that all the green residue from last winter is gone! The tables are clean, the teak-wood bench is sanded and oiled again. Al we need to do today is put some chairs in there and we have, when the weather is good, a so much bigger living space; it is great!
But, after doing all of that and working in the house a lot, I was eager to relax and not do much more...so I didn't got to stamping anymore. This morning, I chopped the sunday in half with some 'me-time'. Feels good a day like this! And this is what I had made at the end of my 'me-time' :

En nu weer verder met de tuin en later nog wat dingen in huis doen, zodat we bij een volgende paar dagen met zulk mooi weer alleen maar wat spulletjes om ons bezig te houden naar buiten hoeven te brengen en kunnen genieten van onze mooie tuin en het weer!
And now back to more garden work and some things in the house that have to be done, to get things ready for the next few days with warm weather so we just need to bring the things we want to do into the garden and can enjoy our beautiful garden and the weather!

Wat een leuke kaarten Gerrina. Prachtig hoe de eerste is gestempeld. Heerlijk he om buiten bezig te zij. Wij gaan morgen weer aan de slag, vandaag van het zonnetje genoten. Omdat we wat op de vlakte wonen, hebben we gauw last van de wind. Maar vandaag stond de wind goed en was het er heerlijk . groetjes, Nelleke
BeantwoordenVerwijderen2 very beautiful cards! xo
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat and cute designed projects. Hope you are doing well.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe line art face is so stylish, Gerrina ... and that little girl among all her craft stash is so cute and fun ... she could be any of us! Hugs, Anita :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat beautiful work Gerrina - the stenciled lady is stunning - I love how you have also stamped the sentiment numerous times. Loving your 'creative and happy' girls on the second project - they look such sweeties, but no doubt could be full of mischief...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have had some sunny days here too, and I have been out in the garden - getting it ready for winter :(.
Stay safe
Blessings

Hi Gerrina! What pretty cards! I particularly like how you incorporated the "paint splatter" in the second card. Very creative and a very cute, unique design! As always, we love seeing you in the gallery at Inkspirational! =)

I love the card using the lady with the hat. You've inspired me to go back to an old similar stamp I have and use it for a card. Beautiful design.
BeantwoordenVerwijderengreat card!Thanks for joining us at creative friday.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuper cute and fun card! I love the kids playing among the craft supplies. Thank you so much for sharing and playing along with us this week at CC&S
