Home!

We made it! Welcome in our new house. The next few posts I'll gradually show you around in our bohemian shabby chic sweety house. Here is a happy lounge corner (my favorite little cupboard with plants and trinkets - a painting that Gabriel made - Lieveke's toys underneath an old school-table).

Happy moving flowers. Love these colorful poppies.

Pre-move : my last crafty project before the move were these cord-and-patch pants for Lieveke. She was very willing to pose.

Post-move : my first craft whip-up in the new den, some bigger than big quilted toddler bibs. Gosh Lieveke now wants to eat (hmmm, that should be something like, paint, or smear or paste...) all by herself, that means EVERY surface needs to be covered with a bib!

We had a Craftwerk-market. It was very succesful for both K and me. My favorite sell was to a young dad, who first bought a pinny for his one year old daughter and then after 15 minutes came back to buy a kimono jacket for his little one. Her name is Stevie. Lucky girl. This little skirt that Lieveke is wearing wasn't sold, and I'm so glad cause she looks so cute in it. Note Lieveke's 'desk' (hey she needs a worksurface, just like the rest of us) and our new little garden in the back!

Aaaaaah. Home. Home. Lovely.

Your new place looks great and I love the poppies and Lieveke in her new skirt!
What a beautiful baby on the previous post, easy to see such calm on the little face after a home birth.

Good to hear Lies, these little bits of your house look so cool. I like your furniture too. And all of it really.

Lovely new home! Even better looking little girl you have there. The bib and patchwork pants are great. I just love that eggplant colored Joel Dewberry fabric.
