Hi everyone,
It’s Wednesday again and time to do some desk hopping. Via
Julia (http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com.es/)
we get to see each other’s desks and say our weekly hello.
Well, I am not at home, in fact, I’m still travelling. At
the moment I’m in Holland visiting my mum who will be 91 on Friday.
The desk I’m
going to show you belongs to my cousin’s wife Ina.
She loves sewing and has
recently done a course in felting and has made this scarf. She gave it to me as
a present. I love it!
Ina and her husband
live in the north of the Netherlands in an area called Friesland. Friesland has
its own language and is famous for its black & white cows (Friesians). Also there are beautiful lakes so sailing is very popular in Friesland.
On the way back from Friesland we visited friends who have a
farm (beef cattle, not Friesians).
This is my friend's vegetable plot
Here are some pictures of this typical Dutch landscape.
That's it for today. Thank you everyone for following my travels in spite of the non-crafty content. I will try and visit as many of you as I can politely get away with. (I have internet as I am staying at someone's house, but I believe it is quite rude of course to be on my tablet all the time when I am visiting someone....)
God bless you all!
See you next week,
Lisca

I'm so glad you decided to take us with you on this beautiful journey. While there, be sure to wish your mother a happy birthday on Friday. What a milestone.
That's a beautifully felted scarf. What a wonderful gift. and of course I enjoyed the geography lesson, especially about the cows, which are art themselves.
Thanks for visiting me, and appreciate you took the time. Happy WOYWW from # 5.
