So first a few words about myself:

If you thing my english sounds funny or if you find some errors: Yes, english is not my native language. I do my very best. But I have to admit that even my kids correct me every day. Sigh.

We moved to the San Francisco bay area 2 years ago, and we love it here.

This is my english blog, I do have a bigger, german one. I know most people just translate their blogposts in the other language, I tried that, too, but it just didnt work out for me. Either I make the concept and writing in english or in german, I just can't translate it phrase by phrase....

So, As I was thinking about my words, I remembered there was a birthday gift I had and wanted! to do, for my sister, who, last year, met a new love. She decided to move to his town.

So I thought that a present reflecting these two important events in her life would be a great choice for her birthday present.

Are you ready?

I had to take this picture, even though you might not see a lot, but: SHE IS BACK: the sun *lol*

Okay, so here are the two pillows I made:

It's all about love, isn't it?

Home - it is not easy to build a new home, in a new town, with new family members. But is much easier with some cozy, friendly things around you.

I got my new name labels, and I love them :-)
They are not woven, but printed, and they come as a sheet, you have to cut them yourself.

If you are german, there has to be some woven ribbon on your project.
This one is available for several german cities, and I took it as a small reminder of our hometown.

The back is simply some of the fabric I used for the f(r)onts
