Monday again?

Yes, it's monday again & still it's freezing cold, so it's a perfect day for some crafting! I have a huge collection of buttons and I went through it to find some nice blue ones, added some red embroidery silk, took my hotglue gun & magnets. This is the result:





I am not the first one out there to have this idea & I can't find out if/where I have seen it before. So if you have done it, tell me and I make a link. Thank you!

Happy monday!

The good mother


I am probably not the only mother out there that wonders: Am I a good mother?

Happy monday!


Goodmorning & happy monday to you!
It was very difficult to actually get back in the day-to-day-routine this first monday of 2010. The children are sleeping in and I had to wake them up, because the holiday is over and J. really has to go to school!
So we're back to the running up & down to and from school! The year has really actually started now!

Bye bye 2009!

Being very busy attending unfinished business, something in the corner of my eye tried to catch my attention, it was my little corner on the world wide web!!!
I am so sorry little blog, but it all came to a stand still after this:

My sweetheart broke his arm during a soccermatch and so I became a mother of 3 instead of 2!

Thankfully everything turned out allright with his arm after surgery and I could focus on my mountain of unfinished business. I like to end the year (or actually start the year) with a clean slate, so every december I am in a hurry to finish the unfinished... Oh well, at least I try!
Here a few pictures of the last 3 or so months:


So, goodbye 2009, you have been a year of saying goodbye to many things and left us with lots of keys & memoiries! We move on to the new year keep in mind the good and finding a nice place for the not so good!
I am looking forward to many things and to reading all of the great blogs out here!

I wish you all the best for 2010!

Oh my!

Time sure flies! Being occupied with schooldays, knitting & a severe cold, I just didn't make time for you all! So here are some pics of the last few days.



I got my order from this great Etsian! If you are looking for some great vintage finds, you should hop on over to her store!

Fall really kicked in & J. is collecting everything he can get his little hands on!



Meanwhile Miffy is keeping me company on my cowl, I still need a few inches extra!



Tomorrow I am going to go to Amsterdam with my mother for some well deserved shopping!
I would love to hear what your plans are!

Happy monday!

Happy monday everybody!
A new week with lots of stuff to do! Now that J. started school, it's like the whole family has to find a new daily routine. I have a new 'job' on monday & tuesday, I am a lunchmommy! So I sit with a group of children while they eat their lunch and I supervise while they're on the playground.
I really need to call my drivinginstuctor, I haven't had a lesson for over 2 months now... I am so scared, not of the driving itself, but more of the judgement of the instructor! So, note to self: you pay this man to teach you how to drive a car! That's it!
I have bought some fabric to make a blanket for the neighbours' baby, I should make a start with that this week.
And I should better be knitting, because soon this new pattern book will arrive and I really want to be knitting these!

Just check out this blog, what a happy place filled with the most creative photographs!
