Weekend pics

baking with J. from the book

Koekboek van Vos en Haas

beautiful poster from Society6

our little herb-garden

quick visit to the beach

preparations for T.'s farewell party

at kindergarten

We visited Ikea for some caravan stuff, fabric for the couch & curtains & some solarlamps. Picked up the herbs as well.

Baking with J. & a little help from T., who is pretty good with sugar, eating that is.

Luckily we had some time to enjoy the beach, too bad we weren't there that long, T. fell over and was soaking wet! :)

Making T.s' farewell card for kindergarten, the idea looked simple but strangely it's still a lot of work.

Have a great new week!

Off he went

To school!  

Excitement all over the place. We almost slept in due to summertime, but we made it to school in time!

T. was happy to find his own drawer & his own hook for his coat.

Saying goodbye as if he had done this whole school thing millions of times before. Bye-bye!

As I walked home I swalled some tears & back home I did a little crying.

And now I am going to enjoy a quiet morning coffee!

Happy monday to you!

As promised

A small break from my blogbreak!
Today we went down to the camping where our recently bought caravan was parked, to pick it up to be stalled near our house! Yay!


As promised some photo's, but with a warning: we haven't done any redecorating, cleaning etc...

- happy camper nr. 1 taking you on the grand 

tour through the caravan

- straight from the door to the pinky pillow 

(that soon after this shot got dumped)

- look from the door to the right

(yes all that stuff came with the caravan)

- happy camper nr. 2 in the bathroom-area

(soon to be an extra closet)

and it has a name! 

Mazzeltje = Bit of luck

What's not in the picture: the dark navyblue, synthetic curtains. I ripped them off as soon as I got through the door... brrrr!

At the end of april we are going for a test-holiday-week with our Bit of luck! Lot's of sewing in the meantime!

Have a beautiful new week!
