Omg I totally forgot to mention this!  If you remember, this time last year we got one hellish bill from Eneco, who are the DEVIL.   I was so angry I was spitting nails because I was convinced the mistake was on their end and not ours. Tonight I was talking to a friend and he was telling me that last …

This guy makes sculptures the size of a GRAIN OF SAND!  Paints with the hair plucked from the back of a house fly.   Can you imagine? I have trouble painting normal sized things because my hands are not that steady. Now if only I had about $250k, I’d totally buy one!

Today my mother sent me photos of the tea quilt I made her after she got it home and put it up.   It’s kind of exciting for me because this is the first quilt I’ve ever made for someone as a gift that is on display somewhere. She hung it in her dining room, which is the exact spot I …

I’m a little late but we had snow last week!  I was so excited!   Of course, it didn’t last long but I managed to get some photos of it in the meantime.  I love when it snows! It started early in the afternoon out of nowhere and looked beautiful with the sun still shining. Then it started getting nasty.  The …

I have a bunch of stuff in my head but can’t really concentrate on one single thing.  Welcome to my pity party… I went to a party last weekend that had a lot of crying snot covered little kids in a small area.  Having not purchased myself a plastic bubble yet, I got ANOTHER COLD.  Yeah, you heard me right… …

A while back I saw that Zhu had a post called Pay it Forward.  I first thought of the movie by that name, but it turned out she was taking part in the same sort of thing only over blogs.  Here is how it was described: the exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return …

Yesterday while working on some crafts I watched the movie Mamma Mia.  I’d been wanting to see this movie but had a hellish time getting there.  My friend Penny doesn’t like musicals, my husband would rather hand over his left testicle on a plate than see it and everyone else either wasn’t into it or we had trouble sorting out …

For the last number of years I’ve been dying to visit the Christmas markets in Germany.   Since my husband was never too keen, it never really happened.   This year I was talking to my friend Penny about it and we decided to book a trip for the two of us to go.  On December 13th we are going to Cologne! …

Oh yeah baby!  You didn’t think I’d go through the torture of sitting there while Xander had his tooth pulled and NOT get it to take pics of, did you?   I mean I took pics of mine that time, so you should expect no difference now. *snicker* Seriously, that was in the mouth of the man I kiss! This is …

If I were to make a list of my least favorite places to be here in the Netherlands, it would be here.   The waiting room at our local huisartsenpost (kind of like outpatients, where you go outside of office hours, only … different).  I took this photo with my mobile while sitting there being miserable this afternoon. We’ve been here …

On Friday I met up with my friend Penny for lunch and a bit of shopping.  She had her son Noah with her and I couldn’t help but snap a few photos of him.   He’s at that cool age where he’s really starting to get some personality, which made it a lot more fun. He really loves being in front …
