Two thrifted windmills. I love the dutch blue one!
Tulips on a little girls apron.
And little Dutch girl, I start sewing her today. She's waiting for a face and two legs and her arms aren't stuffed yet. But when she's finished I'll have to kiss her goodbuy. This little Dutch girl is going to the U.S to life with Sandy and her cute dolls.
Last photo has non Dutch links what so ever....I just like this plant on my windowsill.
It's called a lidcactus in Dutch, not sure what de English name for this plant is.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Don't know the proper name. But it's known as Christmas Cactus. I love all your colorful linens and projects!

My grandmother called it a Christmas cactus also. So I guess that's the english name for it. I love the windmills. My mom stitched me up some as placemats for our blue and white kitchen and I never finished them. I should get them out and make them into pillows or something.
I love the dutch blue also and I can't wait to see the doll with a face.
We call it a Christmas Cactus also!
Weeee - I'm so excited to swap dolls! I'm going to put your little Annie in the mail to you this week!
So dutch and sooooo sweet!
Love the cross stitches. the popje is really cute. I wish her a safe journey across the sea/air.
Jij doet je naam wel weer eer aan, wat een gezellige hollandse spulletjes weer! Die lidcactus vind ik zo'n ouderwetse plant, heerlijk! Fijne start van de week!
Gorgeous. The plant is often called a christmas cactus or Easter cactus depending on when it blooms. Guess yours is either an early christmas one or a late Easter one hehehe. A x
I love the blue windmill too and even without a face (yet) your doll looks adorable.

ps. It's a Christmas cactus.
The doll looks so promising!!
lovely! lovely! lovely! There's a huge Dutch cross stitched wall hanging in a nearby secondhand store - each time I go in, if I should indeed by it and take it home :-) Your apron is beautiful as is your doll. Ahhhh such lovely colours.
Lovely things in the photos. What a sweet doll and apron too.
Cute doll and of course I love the apron :)
I don't think my "lidcactus" or Christmas Cactus has ever bloomed like that...Beautiful!
That little apron is so cute Corry. Your cactus is beautiful too. I am always trying to get them to grow.
I love your stitch and enjoy to read your blog. My name is Patricia Newton from Somers in Victoria., Australia. I will keep touch your blog. Tricia
Have just found your blog via Anna's and love it - will be following it now.
We also call it a Christmas Cactus and I have one that is 37 years old - it was a present for our first Christmas together! I notice that Viota on http://shellsbellsflowersshowers.blogspot.com/ has one too!
There is always so much inspiratione here, lovely to stop by!

What a sweet doll! That apron is adorable. Your Christmas Cactus is blooming so prettily. Ik heb geen vensterbanken in mijn huis en die mis ik heel erg. Ik kan nooit wat leuks in de raam zetten.
Weet je dat ik twee nieuwe blogs hebben? Mijn oude waren vol dus dit was het makkelijkste.
Hugs en groetjes ~

I know it as a Christmas Cactus.
But my has bloomed for Thanksgiving and Halloween, just depends when you stop watering it and then start again.
Love your work.
Here in Brasil it's named "flor de maio" or "may flower" because the flowers open on may.
You blog always makes me smile! Lucky Sandy to be receiving that darling doll!
Tha blue windmill looks sooooo pretty!!! I really enjoyed my visit ...thanks!
Any update on this sweet doll? She looks absolutely adorable!
My Mum used to have a plant like this. I think we know it in Australia as a Zygocactus. Lovely aren't they? Love your blog. My fingers are itching to do something crafty. Alas I have to work. Sue, Victoria. Australia
