Wednesday, Quilting day !


Wednesday is my quilting day.
I'm making a quilt in natural colours for the guestroom. We are very busy rebuilding this room before the first guest arrive.The colours in the room are natural with one wall in the colour lavender. I love this colour ( and the plant with great smell).
It is so warm and romantic.
After our quilt class we went out for a great bowl of cappuccino, in a local cafe.
Life can be so beautiful !

Introducing

This is the first time that I write in my blog.
I am Jacoline, me and my family emigrated to New Zealand from The Netherlands 3 years ago.
I can tell you, we went through some hard times in those 3 years, but we found our dream.

We bought a lovely home close to the beach. I spend a lot of time in our garden which has a lot of fruit trees, a nice vegetable garden and great flowers.

I love to shop in secondhand shops and garages sales are the best invention ever.
My days are filled with craft, cooking , baking and of course my 3 girls.
I try to have a beachwalk every day and on wednesday I join the quilt club.

We are still busy with rebuiling the house to make it a great home.
We like traveling and like to discover our new country.
I keep you updated with new stories, recipes, ideas and pictures every week.
