Sunday and Stitch

Yesterday I went to Rotterdam.

(of course by boat)

Right in the center they are still building :

high rise buildings

because the the building plots are limited

and extremely expensive

These buildings are just on a strip

where there are some small harbor basins,

which are not really in use anymore.

(though the big cruise ships moor there in the river)

Old warehouses are converted into apartments

I thought there was a fun market :

vintage and craft.

The clutter some people throw out

is a find for others.

There wasn't much I liked

(I have enough clutter of my own at home !)

And no craft whatsoever. 

So I had more time to visit a friend

who wasn't able to visit our party

The trip on the boat was just right

for some more stitching :

just a plastic zip lock bag with some thread,

my piece and scissors kept me busy all the way

I continued today

And I think I'm nearly done ...

You might remember what happened to my dear
New Dawn rose in July ?

Look at her NOW :

green and in bloom again !

if you only could smell
