this……!!
After making
the orange crochet crowns in April I found I really liked crochet, so I wanted
to do some more. And guess what? I think I found a new addiction!
I got these at
Echtstudio during the grand opening of their store last Saturday and what a fun
day that was!
At noon
exactly Kim, the owner, cut through the ribbon
and in we
all went, it was busy, busy!
<3 the
colours!
A beautiful
old cabinet filled with little goodies like pendants, beads, etc. to use for
your crochet projects.
Of course it
did not take me long to fill up my basket
Nice goody
bag with my purchase
What will I
do with my lovely cottons? Granny squares!
This will be
a nice project for the summer time (am sure summer will happen, even if it is
just for one day…) and while I am quilting my Jacob’s Ladder. And now that I
have found crochet as a nice diversion from quilting that ripple blanket will
happen too sometime….
The week
before – during the few hours of sunshine we had - I kept myself busy with cleaning the garden
furniture , which went from this
to this:
Always such
a gratifying job, even though my back doesn’t think so!
Recently we
spent a nice afternoon on the ‘Pure Markt’ in The Hague, where we found some
great stalls with nice food (even though we watch our weight, we are foodies),
like
English pies
French
breads with herbs
Surinam
barra’s, freshly fried by a very cheerful gentleman
Falafal and
couscous salad
French
butcher
And last but
not least, the first time I had this in The Netherlands: pulled pork!
Look at
those huge American bbq’s!
It was
delicious, great thing about this: they did not put a lot of sauce on it, so
you could really taste that beautiful meat!
Well, the
sun is out, better enjoy some of it, it never lasts long over here,
off to the
garden now!
