Traveling up North

We are looking at going back to Scandinavia for a few days... I'm so excited!

Sun again

The sun is back today. It makes things so much better!

Rain in the low countries, sun in the alps

It's raining again over here, which is a bit of a disappointment after the beautiful and warm weather we had on the weekend. I wish I was in Switzerland instead, in the alps, with my whole family, skiing...

A recycled antelope from Africa

Lesley, Mart's mum, gave us this beautiful antelope when we were in Sydney. She's made of recycled flip-flops, and comes from Africa.
I'm not sure if she comes from this specific workshop, but here is a video which explains how and why they make these delightful colourful sculptures.

Here are more animals made in the same way.

More printing

When my dad heard I was into printing, he made me a whole collection of wooden pieces to make stamps with. I just used my first one, to make this spotty one. A bit of foam, a few snips, some glue, the all important wooden bit, and that's it! It's so easy; I love it.

itchy-sneezy-sunday

I hardly can stop sneezing - spring is definitely in the air!
I still managed to eat this delicious breakfast though, nothing could stop me eating 'poffertjes'! (Dutch people eat them for dinner with powder sugar, but we like them for breakfast or brunch on the weekend, with maple syrup and blueberries...)

Spring is in the air
