Inspired by her, I wanted to post about things that are good in my life. There are plenty.– We are all (kind of) healthy– My feeling exhausted these days will pass, it always does– Although having a small company is not really secure financially, we love the life we have right now, the freedom, the…

 17 years ago… This post brought tears to my eyes… (yes, I’m sentimental, but read the comments, I’m not the only one). It made me remember things and wanting to document them. (Amanda does that to me a lot). We were very young when the twins were born (10 days before my 20th birthday, a…

Yes, I promised to take pictures of the bags and I did. But I have to sort those, measure the bags, write descriptions for etsy etc. So while you wait for that (I’ll just pretend someone is) I thought I’d keep another promise. A real everyday picture. I have been drifting to taking nice pictures…

So when I emptied my sewing cupboard I found out I had made 16 bags over the last 10 weeks! And here I was, thinking I didn’t get to sew much! I also made a summer skirt (still got to take a picture of that one) and covers for the pillows on our couch. Oh,…

Well, yeah, chocolate is better and I have to admit that I ate some.But stir frying fresh vegetables is also comforting for me.This is just a simple use-what-I-had stir. Some spiced meat, a green and a red pepper, zucchini, eggplant and leek.Looks good and smells good too. I’m off to eat now!

Remember all the blossom? One might think there should be an explosion of cherries now. But this is the only one.We think the birds are having cherry-parties each morning.

(I don’t know if I love or hate all those abbreviations, but I’ll just go with the flow…)Today was a perfect balance of work and play. I cleaned, did the laundry and caught up with the administration of our IT-company. And at the end of the day we had a nice meal on the roof,…

I found these fragments when we were digging up part of our garden for the swimmingpool.When I was a kid I used to sneek into the “grown-up-garden” (which was where the fruittrees and the flowers were, while we had a big spot to play seperated from that). Under those trees I always found fragments like…

Phew! I’m tired. I have been working like a good housewife all day. I think I got that laundry under control now. Although you never know when that basket is suddenly overflowing again. It has been empty for about five minutes, but it isn’t anymore. My topscore is fifteen minutes and twelve seconds.And look at…
