I can’t think of a blog post right now. I need coffee first. Ah.. that’s better. 😉 Wishing you all a great week!

Just right
I’m slowly going through my restored archives, trying to add the missing pictures back in (if I have them, some of them are lost forever). Last week I found this post about my blue cotton sweater.It’s so funny to look back at that post. At that time, I just thought I was making a summer…
In my kitchen
Lately in my kitchen I have… :: experimented with my new slow cooker. I never had one before, but I’m hooked. So convenient to fill it up in the morning and have diner ready in the evening. :: made my favorite soup (chorizo, sweet potato, leek, onion, red pepper, corn). So good! :: made several…
Surviving
When we decided to stay in The Netherlands for so long, I knew my house/porch plants would suffer. It was an offer I was willing to make, but with a bit of pain in my heart. I overwatered them as much as I dared (rotting roots are even worse than no water at all), moved…
Progress report :: a whole new kitchen
I thought I would do an “in my kitchen” post today, but I realized that I never even showed you my new kitchen. When I last posted about my kitchen, it looked like this: I was actually quite happy with it. But last year, in June, T. decided it was time for something better. We…
A to-do list (sort of)
Let’s just about forget the groceries, the cleaning, the weeding and all those other chores for a while, okay? Here’s what the fun to-do list in my head looks like: :: find buttons for newest baby knit (and weave in ends). :: organize craft stuff (so much more fun than organizing paper clutter, isn’t it?…
Sunsets
I couldn’t find any “weekend” pictures on my camera or phone this morning. I did find these beautiful sunsets though and I think these actually sum up our weekend quite nicely. We mostly sat and rested and enjoyed the view. Hope you had a restful weekend too and wishing you all a great start to…
Hot
It’s so hot here right now… At first I thought I just wasn’t used to it anymore, after spending so much time in a much colder climate. But Meteo gives out yellow alerts and schools are closing early, so it’s not just me. I had so many plans for “when we’re finally home”, but I’m…
A pebble vest
I’ve always had this list in the back of my mind. A list of baby things I’d like to knit, but I never had a baby to knit them for. My kids were little before the internet, which I think is mostly a blessing, except for the knitting and sewing inspiration I missed out on….
Another little haul
Yesterday I did make it to the right Welcome Shop (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can read how that went last week here). And gosh, they did have quite the collection (it’s not a yarnshop though, but for a shop that carries just about everything – I wouldn’t be surprised if…
