DH and I have been on a short trip to Germany, last week. We fancied a week's holiday, as we used to have at the time our children were still children, but since they grow up they are more and more getting different opinions about what is fun! And a week's holiday with your parents is definitely not fun! So we compromised and left the youngsters at home and left for three days to Germany, Teutoburgerwald. We had perfect weather, no rain, a little bit sunny now and then and we enjoyed being together, preparing on how life will be when DS and youngest DD are going to leave the nest... Of course we went out for dinner, we took a swim in a Wellness Centre and before we knew it was time to go home again. Some pictures are shown at the end of this post.
In return I received a beautiful pinkeep, stitched by Marie. She added some lovely goodies too, I sure can use them!
Call of the Raven
And I have been quite busy finishing block 5 of A Kitten's Tale. I did the embroidery during the carride to Germany and today I was able to sew the other parts of it. I have been quite productive!

Great photo's, love your Call of the Raven.
A wonderful exchange, Joke. I really love the treat bag you made!
It's great when the kids get old enough to stay by themselves. Sometimes it's nice to be just you and not mom & dad. Glad you had a little get-a-way!
Oh lovely WIPs! I love that quilt!! And your exchanges are lovely too. I envy your being able to take a trip without the kids. Our kids are almost there but not yet. :D

Joke, I wish I could have come along with you on your holiday. I love Germany so much and long to take a trip back there one of these days...You make me "homesick." Most of my school years were spent in Germany.
