A blue & white Christmas

Last weekend we visited Delft, the Dutch city famed for their Blue & White china.  There were some wonderfully wonky old buildings, many with their toes dipped in the water!

This wee little bird chirped up at me from a basket in this shop above and I couldn't resist, I do love birds and this one has got a sweet little windmill painted on his chest.

We are hoping to visit Bruges soon too so will be sure to take some christmasy photos to share, it is always so pretty there at this time of year.

Luxembourg Escape 3

I just got back from a lovely walk in a National Park just over the border in Holland, with wild geese, horses and calves which I'll share photos of soon. In the meantime here are a few more snaps from our trip to Luxembourg. A ruined castle with fun sculptures, fancy this horse galloping across your lawn! Personally I'd rather have a real one, but maybe without the galloping part!

Also photos of Luxembourg, the city!



I've got lots of new projects on the go behind the scenes, many I want to share all at once, but time is needed to finish and perfect and I do love secrets :) See you soon, Hugs, Catherine x

Back from Holland

We were away last week staying in the South Limburg region of Holland. It is a really beautiful rural area with wide open views and lots of castles nestled amongst the trees. This area of Holland is just by the border of Germany and Belgium! In fact there was one place where all 3 borders met, you can see a photo of me standing at this point! It was really cold, - 1c most days, we even had snow sometimes which was beautiful but chill-ll--yyy for woodland walks! I'll be adding photos through this week of the various places we visited. For a start are some views and castles in Holland. Back to sewing now, I have two bears in the making at the minute so watch this space! Catherine xx
