Start of Spring 2020

Posted on March 23, 2020 by justelly1

I don’t know when I can take pictures in the park again.

Normally I walk at least 5 miles every day after work. On weekends up to 20 miles a day.
This won’t work for a while and is something I will miss very much.

But today I show you some photos I took in my favourite park

I love daisies ❤ ❤ ❤

Duckling, duckling, duckling ❤ ❤ ❤

DIY – Nostalgia, my very first application

Posted on November 10, 2019 by justelly1

Two years ago I sewed a table runner (my first) as a present. It was then that I made applications for the first time and noticed how much fun it was for me.

Today I just wanted to show what I had done this year with the rest of the fabric from the table runner. And yes, it went to the same person as the table runner hihi

I noticed that I hadn’t posted the table runner at all, like many things I had sewn myself.

OK, here it is. I found the idea of sewing birds with fabric printed with birds funny.

Here’s a pair of birds. I had found something similar on the internet and used it for my own good.
The black seam, which is not very even, I made extra like this. I thought it looked better that way.

The only things I don’t like anymore are the eyes and the beak. Today I would no longer sew them with the machine, but with my hand.

It was not only my first application, but also the first time that I sewed such a corner. Thanks to Youtube 😀

And now for the table runner. There are some things I sewed that I don’t like anymore, but I still like the table runner ❤

But now to the part I wanted to post today.

I still had some fabric in my closet and was thinking about what I could do with it. It should go to the same person as the table runner, so it wouldn’t be bad if I found something that fits.

It was the time before Easter where you can buy Easter decorations in all shops. There I saw a basket in white and I got the right idea what I could sew.

The basket is big enough that you can put flowers in it in spring or a rabbit at Easter 🙂

Maybe I should learn how to sew stuffed animals? Hihi

My newest sewing project – A dinosaur t-shirt

Posted on February 19, 2019 by justelly1

I sewed so many things for Miss M, but never anything for her little brother!

Last year I started a project for him which is very time-consuming and so that he doesn’t have to wait so long, I put this T-shirt in between.

I found the Jersey panel a few weeks ago on the internet and thought about David.
Like most 5 year old boys he loves dinosaurs.

David, this is for you 🙂

Colors of fall, simply beautiful – Photos

Posted on October 17, 2018 by justelly1

Is summer really over?
If yes, then the weather doesn’t know that hehe
Last weekend it was so warm that I went out only with shirt and shorts to take photos.

I wanted to make the first fall photos in the sun, because there all colors shine and fall shows itself from its most beautiful side.

I took the first photo at a small tower. It was covered over and over with red leaves.

Not only have I enjoyed the sunny day, also bees were still on the way

Whether these are fall flowers, I don’t know. But the colors were simply fantastic.

But also some trees have their colourful leaves visible from afar

I wonder why the leaves do not turn from green directly to brown …
Is it nature’s help to tell the animals that, for example, bears have to put on winter fat, or birds have to fly to warmer regions?
Or is it just for people like me so we can take great photos? Hihi

Baby animals in the zoo (photos)

Posted on May 31, 2018 by justelly1

I went to the zoo – again. Now is exactly the right time to go to the zoo because you can see many baby animals.
Weather was not so good because it was very hot and humid.
But to see the baby animals was worth it.

This baby lion was the first thing I took pictures of today.

The tiger is not a baby but he has not let the lion baby out of his sight! Maybe he thought it would be his next meal hehe (and I liked this photo)

Bear mommy never let her baby out of her sight. If the little one went anywhere, mommy would run after the baby

I felt sorry for the little monkey. He was playing alone with the sticks the whole time. No grown-up monkey came to him once…

The scene with these monkeys was funny. At first I thought the little guy wanted to drink. But he bent over and over again and looked at the water. Maybe he wanted to know who the monkey was looking at him in the water.

I have no idea what the bird is called but these huge Feet!!!!! 😀

This little calf must have been very young. It was very unsteady and fell into a small ditch. Luckily, nothing happened.

On the beach – photos and sound

Posted on September 30, 2017 by justelly1

The last days I have been on vacation at my favourite beach ❤ ❤ ❤

One night I recorded the sound of the sea with my mobile. It was a little windy as you can hear 🙂

I’ve taken lots of photos

The next photos are made by low tide

The sheep ensure that the dikes are firm. I think they just eat and sleep hihi

I don’t know what these things were used for before the sea destroyed them

Sunset – more people took photos there instead of in daylight hehe

Dancing on the beach ❤ ❤ ❤

Say it with Shakespeare – Zoo photos

Posted on April 14, 2017 by justelly1

Last weekend we went to a zoo. ❤

I made a lot of photos and when I saw this photo with the ape I started laughing because it remembered me of a scene from one of my fav writer William Shakespeare 😀

I tried to find Shakespeare quotes that works with my photos 😀

To eat, or not to eat: that is the question
