It has been a lousy couple of days, with lots of rain and grey clouds. Not a real good time for walking. Luckily the Lifeline bookfest was on and we got to stock up on 2nd hand books. Also Reverse Garbage put out their next call for products. This time the theme is paper. It so … Continue reading »
One of Ellen’s favourite shows at the moment is the Octonauts. Very round characters that explore the oceans and help sea creatures in need. It is very funny to watch her watch the programme as lately she really empathizes and finds certain parts scary. This reminds me of myself hiding behind the sofa when I thought something was … Continue reading »
Snotty noses and sore throats haven’t kept us from crafting. It is just a bit of a chore to write a story behind the computer. So here are some photos of binoculars and birds… the start of our dressing up box. Ellen the explorer.

Picking up leaves and feathers during my training walks has resulted in Ellen having to pick up leaves when we go for a walk … Continue reading »
This week I had to visit Reverse Garbage. I am taking part in their exhibition “Thread Count” and had to deliver the cushion covers that I made. Reverse Garbage is one of my favourite stores when it comes to craft material. You never know what you are going to find as they stock all kinds of … Continue reading »
Since I am doing my training walks for the end of cancer walk during the week, we have invested in a secondhand double pram. It is a good invention. The other day though, after I had walked Ellen to daycare and I was enjoying my cup of coffee I heard an unusual sound. I thought … Continue reading »
An example of my daughters self-expression: A couple of weeks ago I had to reorganize some of my fabrics and lace, because the ants liked to build their nests in some of it. With reorganization you always find some stuff that you’re not sure of, so I left these on a small pile to be … Continue reading »
