day 30

The penultimate day

of my Pink Ribbon challenge !

I slept late, but the clock went back one hour

so I was still not late.

Time to stitch.

A purple piece of felt this time

because I thought of someone special.

Though dark purple

isn't the easiest colour to stitch on :

too little or too much contrast.

Mmmmmmmmmmm !

See you tomorrow with my LAST Textile Jewel !

what a man ... !

Daughter and I went on a shopping tour yesterday.

We went by Ferry boat and bike to Rotterdam.

It was a cold and rainy day.

We went to our favourite cloths shop of 

Cora Kemperman

(who had sale !)

We went to some other shops too

and had a delicious lunch at "Spirit" (De Groene Passage)

where you can eat the best organic and vegetarian food !

Then we cycled back in wind and rain to the boat

that took us home to our village.

And   there   was  . . . . .

home baked apple pie !!!

Ohhhh ... what a man !

Still warm apple pie, with a little whipped cream

and a cup of coffee / tea

warmed us up real soon.

This is also Man's work :

his new mandala colouring book !

The tour to town was a success regarding the clothes
