*Home again*

Good Morning :)

We are back again...Kevin and I had a wonderful time in Germany with my family and friends :)

My Mom spoiled us rotten LOL but she loves to cook and bake for people...I wish I could say that too :) I hope my husband don't get the idea that I'm going to bake every day now he he

We had a great time there, my Mom didn't see Kevin for 8 years...it was so sweet to listen to them when my Mom tried to speak English and Kevin tried to speak German...every once in a while is was saying *Ivonne I need your heeelp, I have no clue what your Mom is trying to tell me* so sweet...

We still have a little bit of jet lag...I will post pics from our vaccation in a couple of days...

Have a wonderful day :)

Good to be home again...Smiles Ivonne

*My newest Finishes*

I love Cross stitching! In my spare time in the evening
I pick up the needle and thread and stitch along...so relaxing!

I made this pillow from a pattern called
*Love & Be Loved*
by With thy Needle and Thread...
I altered it a little bit...I'm going to make this one into a little pillow...for the back
I will use stained olive Matka...wonderful fabric.

I made this for my Mom :)


**********************************************

I made this wonderful piece called *Tulip Garden*
from a pattern by The Goode Huswife...
I probably will frame it.
