Last night my husband and I went in to Den Haag to meet up with some other photo club members for an evening of portrait photography.  I have been looking forward to it for quite some time because I really like the social gatherings of the group and because I wanted to try to dip my toe into the portrait …

This morning I went off to the city center to meet up with the ladies from the Rotterdam Stitch’n’Bitch group.  I had gotten together with them on Tuesday evening as well and decided to go see who is there on Saturday mornings.  It was busier today, with 10-12 people as opposed to the four of us who were there on …

A rawhide addict, that is… Unlike Bailey, who just grabs it and spends hours hiding them in different spots all over the house, Pixel loves rawhide bones. If there is rawhide in the house, it’s hers.  What’s hers is hers and what’s Bailey’s is hers.  That’s the law in Pixeltown. It doesn’t matter what size, shape or color, she does …

As we were walking home from the marathon on Sunday my husband was walking ahead of me because I kept stopping to take photos.  He came running back telling me to come quick and see this truck.  I couldn’t figure out what would make him think any truck would really interest me, until I saw it. TAMMY TRANS!  That’s my …

On Sunday while I was out watching the marathon I saw these three boys.  They were having such a laugh that I had to get my camera out and get a photo.  Two of the boys had their jackets pulled up over their heads pretending to be headless while tormenting the boy in the middle.  All three of them couldn’t …

For all the years I’ve been living here I’ve never once bothered to go check out the Rotterdam Marathon.  It just wasn’t something I was interested in at all.  This year I thought I would go and watch, partly because I’m hellbent on getting out and being more involved in things that go on here, but also because I have …

After finishing my baby bobble blanket I felt a little lost.  I had gotten so used to plunking down in my chair and picking up the blanket to work on that when it was finished and I had nothing to do, I got grumpy.  I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to work on next and although I had a …

Today’s we had an early visit from the Easter Bunny! Clearly nobody has ever warned him about chicks on diets…

It’s been a few months now since it was announced that Katherine Heigl will be playing Stephanie Plum in the upcoming film One For The Money, which is the first installment in the 20 book series by Janet Evanovich.  While I am fully behind her in the role a lot of people are not convinced.  One of the things I was …

Today I completed my first craft project of 2010.  It’s a Baby Bobble Afghan I started a while back from a pattern by Bernat.  Now I just have to get it packed up and sent off… I’m a little sad in a way, I quite enjoyed working on this and I learned quite a bit as it was only my second …

You know how they say that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure?  I’ve been learning the validity of that statement ever since a second hand shop moved in across the road from our house.  Every so often I pop in there to see what’s new or if anything catches my eye and more often than not something does. I …
