Lovely weekend

This saturday was wonderfull, we went to the sandy dunes and stayed their for the whole day. Picknicking, relaxing and ofcourse: playing with sand. A huge playground for the children.... it tickles their fantasy and makes me happy to see them having so much fun!

colorful hats

Yesterday I crocheted a new hat for my daughter. All her friends want one, it keeps me busy. And when the sun is shining these days it's so nice to sit outside, see these colors thru my fingers...
I might want to sell these, little girls like them! And I love to make them..

Spring is in the air!

Yesterday officially the first day of springseason. And wasn't it a lovely day?! Full of sunshine and children playing outside. In the morning birds are singing and outside you feel fresh air, knowing that in the afternoon you will ride on your bike with the sun on your still somewaht pale cheeks and your coat on the handlebar...

From a nice yellowcolored zpagetti I crocheted a basket for our eastereggs. And for decoration I made some small daffodils.

The chocolate eggs I put in where melted when we arrived home yesterday afternoon, not a good idea! We will put some real, home decorated eggs. I will do this with the kids.

More Zpagettit bagS

Classy! Met leren hengsel. Te Leuk =  voor mezelf :-)

Klein tasje €20, VERKOCHT

I love to make those Zpagetti bags, feel the 100% cotton yarn, search for nice colors and style them for a personal, unique touch. Now these bags are piling up in our house which is already filled with 3 little children that bring lots of stuff too!

So selling my bags gives me the opportunity to make them...

The party is over

Isn't it nice to see how happy little children are when it's their birthday. Robin her bigger brother and sister were even very excited toe give her all the presents they bought. It was such a wonderful day, happy faces. Many presents, homemade applepie and little cakes made by the children. Friends and relatives and too late in bed ofcourse...
I enjoy this so much.

Also I sold two Zpagetti bagS the next morning!

Birthday girl

Tomorrow our youngest is celebrating her second birthday! So today is full of preparing, I will be making apple pies, some small cakes with the children. Loads of cheeseballs to munch  in the afternoon tomorrow. Fresh tomatosoup and of course tonight we will put balloons and decorate the house.
In between I will finish two zpagettibags, sold for someone who will give them to her friends in the US.! Imagine women on the other side of the world walkin around with my homemade bags!

I hope they will enjoy and like them as much as I do.

bagssss

Last week I finished my second zpagettibag! Of course I'm hooked too. All fabrics are different I need to have them all, create and enjoy. 

Hooked too

 

Couple of weeks ago I started learning my self how to crochet. When I was little I must have done some crocheting, not much. I was more into knitting. I knitted sweaters and since I have children they wear home made scarfs.

But now, I finally figured the chrochet oops and loops. It took some time and many hours in front of the fire place with my new lamp to help me counting and stay awake haha.

I love it!

I made my daughter even more happy with this lovely hat. Now here friends want one too of course!

misty rainy morning

Still winter but these mornings are beautiful, silent and misty. In house these little blue grape hyacinths bring a little early spring.
Soon the springtime flowers will come up out side and Valentine's day is close!
I made this little heart hanger for a friend.

Crafting in the family

What a beautiful day!
Though the children all have some nose-ear-throat troubles.
So we decided to stay in an turned the table into a real crafting studio (read: mess!).
I started to make little claybird-beads in order to make springtime mobiles next month.
Oooh it is still freezing cold but I am looking forward to meet the Springtime Fairy.

warm feet

Last weekend I bought new Giesswein mules for the oldest two. In school they all seem to have the same, they wear them inside instead of shoes.
So I needed to personalize them and needlefelted some decorations. Custommade pimped giessweins according to the severe wishes of my beloved toddlers!

Now, dear husband wants a pair too! What wishes would he have?

Happy New Year!

New year new opportunities, though I have to accept that blogging will be something special to me. Some of my little spare time can be spend.
The rest of this small piece of me-time will be used for crafting, my mobiles, knitting and learning how to crochet those lovely flowers and granny squares. Also I made my first Waldorf-doll for little Robin.
Now the other two would like to have one of their own!

Mientje

Another year full of ideas with only little time. But the middlest one just turned 4 and is in school now and the youngest will go to 'peuterschool'  in March.
