Where did the summer go??

I got some questions about the Stroopwafel - pie.

You can find the recipe HERE. It is in Dutch.

I told you about another sweet birthday gift i got.

It's from sweet Angele ( who STILL has no blog)

She gave me the cutest hanging,and as you see it's hanging at my wall.

It's above the couch i'm sitting in now. and look at the goodies!!

Your to sweet Angele.

Then a sweet RAK.

On Noah's birthday a RAK from teh USA fell on the mat.

Look at how sweet Carol is with sending me this.

She made me a beautifull pillow with sea theme.

I always saw her beautifull piece son her blog, now I have one in my home..

So blessed.

She added a lot of goodies with it..

But not only for me also for the kids, and as it arrived on Noah's birthday he thought it was specially for him from so far. one piece is missing, a super mario thing ( don't know how to call it) you can put it on clothing, and Noah got it, now I don't know where it is.. ( need to clean more.. hihihi.. hubby is already getting crazy of me, almost the whole house I put upside down).

Dear Carol, thank you so much for spoiling me... I hope I put it all on the pic, as it was a busy week, I got it in teh closet, with other gifts, then cleaned it all, so maybe I forgot something... please tell me..

Love love the fabric pieces.

It's there with other beautifull  friend goodies..

When I open my blog I see the beautifull summer header..

Last week we where all walking in short sleeves, and short skirt.. now long sleeves, pants, and boots.

it's cold, rainy.

Summer is really over, and Fall started right away!!

While I'm doing my Fall cleaning ( yes cleaning again, I;m a bit crazy, all the closets are not save from me..) I also put out my Fall decoartion.

Most are all things I made in the last years.

The 2 white pumpkins in the middle of the window I made last week.

♥ ♥ ♥

September is gone too fast already.

Last year we lost the best and sweetest pumpkin ever.

I can't imagine it's already a year ago.

♥ We miss you Cathey ♥

Last post is from ?  ........    28th August.

Ow my..

I can tell you I don't know how this happend.

I;m still working at much as 2 months ago, the only thing changed is I sport a lot.

But thats nothings special 

But lets forget about it.. I;m back..

Still have some things to show you, a birthday gift and a sweet RAK.

But for now first Noah's Birthday.

That was the 16th of September.

My little big boy turned 6.. 

......can you believe it 6... :O :)

♥ The cutest son, who I love so much ♥

As you all know he still loves Starwars very much, so I gave him a Starwars party!

The only needles I thouched in the last 6 weeks, where for the crochet doll Luke Skywalker, that is his favorite!!

I wanted to make more, but could not find the time.

I made him his name in Lego, and gave the Starwars people the candles.

Made 3 pie's::::::
 a apple, a whipcream with eatable Starwars picture ( that I ordered), and Stroopwafelpie.

Stroopwafel is a real Duth things, I found a awesome recipe, and I loved it ( after screaming a lot on it, and made it again.. lol 

I breaded my hair in a  new creation.

You can see Noah standing on the table in school, and all kids where singing to him ( can you see his girlfriend is sitting across the table with him.. hihi ♥)

Also sitting with MIL with a special birthday dessert in the city as we went out to diner on his birthday.

He had a blast of a week..

With as cherry on the pie a Star Wars kids party

I made all kind of games with Starwars theme.. ( thank goodness for Google and Pinterest for all the help)

Noah and the kids loved it so much!!

This mother was very happy, and even more when she could sit done on a chair after a few long days!!

Last weekend we went to MIL&FIL as we do each year, because nearby them is the biggest LEGO shop of Europe, so Noah spend all his birthday money there, and bought as you can guess Lego StarWars.

Kira had some money to, so she bought a Disney Frozen Puzzle (100 pieces and already to easy)

As you can imagine the next few weeks, I don't have kids, there are too busy with there new things.

(I traid some puzzles with my neighbor this afternoon for Kira, so she is also busy)

About the sporting.

A hour ago I got back from my running, which I;m doing since a few weeks, and I running very hard, it's crazy

5 km in 24 minutes :O

But I love it so much..

I also take the kids with me often, as I not only do running but also inline skating

Kids run, and skate and cycle with me..

We are having a great time doing it..

But the sun you see on this pictures is gone I think..

We had the last hot weekend, now the fall started with rain today.

I'm working on my Bloglovin and emails..

Almost there!!

Didn't forget you all!!

Have a great week, I;m a few days off, after 5 night shifts

Crochet post! ♥

Ow my, what is time flying by...

It's alreday end of the month.

( way behind on Jingles   .... sssssstttttt)

I have really to little hours in a day, and I;m not crafting much.. hihihi

At the moment DH is at home with severely bruised ribs.. he fell in the shower.

So I have a bit 3 kids at the moment, and school, many ( to many ) appointments..

But it's almost weekend.... and then I have to work.. ;))))))

But thankfully, we have next week. ♥

I promissed you some craft photo's

They are only crochet, as that's the only thing I have time for, and I can put it aside easly.

let's beging with a project I wanted to show the progress many times.

But I think I have never shown a picture here.

Last year at the big craft fair with my MIL, we both bought it to give it a try.

Now it's finally finished ( just in time for the next big craft fair)

Broom stick lace.. is the stitch called.

I really love it.. takes a long time to do ( for me) ;)) but I like it very much.. This fall/winter will try and do it again..

But already so many plans are made in my mind.. I'm taking it slow from now one ( read I will try)

Then I have bought over 5 years ago big black yarn for a poncho to knit.. I hatted the pattern, tryed it over and over and over and over..

didn't work for me

So it's still nothing.. 

2 weeks ago, I was making plans to make a beautifull skirt i saw on Pinterest, but first wanted to try a easy skirt for myself to see how it would do it.

I can tell you I'm happy with it

Would you see it on me???

It's a bit of a sexy picture.. so maybe now close your eyes.. and scroll down.

...

..

.

Closed??? Ready??
Just jocking.. I'm getting tired.... time to sleep

I wanted a short black thick skirt.. and now I have it!!

So when we have snow ( I really hope it this year ) I will wear it!!

I have another finish

Last year bought a lovely yarn, on a web-site it was used for a basket, so wanted to make it too.

One yarn = one basket..

But after reading the pattern a few times, it was a very smal basket.. what to do next then..

Then last week I was looking on my Pinterest and seeing a beautifull rug . I thought that would be nice for on my diner table too.

So I got the yarn from my attic

And got started.

The beginning.. And I saw I don't want a round shape.. I wanne a other one..

But what???

As the yarn was not much.. I could not finish it, when I'm at the big craft fair in a few months I will buy another yarn, but for now..

I have a little tablecloth, in a funny shape

How do you like it????

It's funny right?

And if I get tired of it, I put it next to my bed on the floor as a rug.. hihihihi

So the evening is starting,  I';m going to bed, getting ready for my first night shift of 5.

Hope you all have a great weekend, till next week!!

Not started a new project yet, but who know's i come up with a idea tonight.. =))))

♥ Happy crafting all ♥

This brown/orange folding wagen was our home for 2 weeks

When we walked out of our tent and a few meters further we walked in too the Ardeche, it's was so close. we did a lot of fishing here.

Even I catched a fish.. ( don't mine me.. really bad pic of me)

Close by we had Font Vive, a well. what was really beautifull, and from there we could clim the moutain, here a pic of the view

Here a special pictures of that view.

A bit further up the Ardeche we played with the rocks while most of us went fishing, our like me almost went away with the river :O

I love these flowers, you see them every where.

In front of us we had a lot of space to play..

At the right of the camping we had the river Labaume, where we swim. and beautifull that it looked.

Also in France we braided hair, I was just done with mine.. then did Kira

We drove a lot.. we where there with 6 adults and 6 kids in the age of 3 till 9, and the other family's had been there more often, so know the beautifull spots..

I really are in love with the mountains and green trees up there, the water, brigdes.. really everythings about france ( okè  expect the bugs) !!
