Winter pictures and some progress

Last week it was freezing cold in our country, and I just wanted to show some beautiful pictures, especially for my friends outside the Netherlands. This is about half an hour by bike from our home, and we love taking a walk by the canal.






Stitch-related I have three finishes for this year already, and can't show any of them yet, because they are all exchanges. One is sent abroad last week to a friend as a belated birthday gift, the other two stay in the Netherlands.

I managed to do quite a lot of stitching on Mystery XI, mostly eyelets, that took a lot of time. If you take a good look, you can see them between the arches of the trees.


I also made a new beginning. It's a HAED, Vibrant Vista, there not much to show. Due to internetproblems I can't post a picture, it will be there nex time!

** updated Here is Vibrant Vista :)

Wow - you have been a busy girl. And what lovely weather. I don't know whether to wish for nice weather and cold or grey/rain and a bit warmer. I'll keep following weer reports to know what kind of clothes to bring. I'm so excited.
Groetjes,
Marne

Love your mystery - I have the pattern but have I started it yet? Course not - maybe next year.

Hi girls, just a little message from work: no internet at home right now. Marne: ask for dry sunny weather, it's the best for seeing the beauty of our country!
Vonna and cindy: I'd love to join you, where can I find your SAL?
