Crochet, and even a bit of stitching

~Winter is Coming ~ GAME OF THRONES ~

It's really cold here, last week it was the whole day 3 degrees.

Now it's a bit more slowly it climb up to 13 degrees.

But now the rain is coming more and more.. this afternoon I saw even sunshine, that was long ago.

It's really FALL

That also means candles

I have been working on my blanet.. I really can't see another square anymore.

But I can tell you:

I FINISHED IT!!!!!

As you can see Noah is very very very happy with it.

Here a pic of how it looks

For the edge I made little picots. It a cute crochet stitch, and I though perfect for a boy blanket.

It's the first of the 3 blanket I started that I finished!

And also the last.. lol.... 

I'm very glad I finished it, big projects I get bored to fast, but who knows!!!

* * * 

I saw I didn't show the poncho of Kira finished

The colors are really hard to get good on the picture.

But you can undestand it's all PINK PINK PINK

She loved it so much.

I can't find the picture, but she made the ponpoms on front with a little machine I have. 

Very happy is she.

And now she wants to learn to crochet.

We tryed with a hook, but thats to difficult yet.

So finger crochet.

She wants to do it everywhere, now she can do it

Here is was making a necklace for he new cuddle Bloom.

 here we made two bracelets, she really loves to do it.

More of Kira's crafts will be here soon to show

* * * 

Noah had Saterday another JUDO match.

This time with real points.

He won al the games, and earned 42 points, thats very good for the first time.

At 50 point he gets a emblem, and the more points he get the more emblems he gets, so you know what his goal is now. 14-11 is the next time he can try

 In the black is also his teacher here in town, 19 years old, very great teacher

 as he is small most boys where a head bigger then him, it goes on weight

below he got the card he his shows here above, on that the write his points 

So on to the next time!!!

* * * 

I;m working mostly night shift at my job, and you all now I like to cook and bake.

Last weekend I baked to whipe-creams pie's.

The patients and staff where very happy with it, night night there was nothing left for me to try.. hihi

mmmmmmmmmm

* * * 

OWWWWWWWwwwww I found some pictures of my run from a few weeks ago.

I'm the girl in light blue.

last week I had another one, but my friend was ill, and I'm still very afraid in teh dark, so not going alone. but more runs are coming.. hope to do one soon again

* * * 

Sometimes we have a few moments of great weather, so we go out then.

A few weeks ago on a friday afternoon, kids had friends to play and we went to the forest

I WANT THAT WEATHER BACK!!!! 

Its was very lovely, but who knows what we will get in teh next few weeks

* * *

From a run, too crochet too baking

So I find out I;m not the only one who has problems with Bloglovin.

And again, he marked my new posts as read, so lost again many new post, I'm trying to find them back, let me know if I haven't commented on you blogpost.

I really need to find something else....

So it have been some busy weeks, let me show you what I have been doing all.

For weeks I have been training with a friend and alone for a long run.

Here you can see us running on a beautifull beach.

And it all was for Last Friday Night

We entered the Light Coastrun, it's a part of the big Coast Marathon.

We run 11.2 km

We run a bit longer, but had so much fun, it's in the dark so we are decorated with lights

This is a picture I found on the website from the local newspaper, Haven't found much more.. But when I do I show it.

I got a medail, it was real crazy and so fun fun,. But also very hard.

More then 11 km in the dunes, up, down, up, dow, stairs up, down, up, down. the beach in the sand....

But I did it, and I loved it.

So much then in 2 weeks I;m going to do it again, but then 13.5 km.. really hope I can make it..

So fingers crossed

* * * 

Have you ever wanted to know what goes on in a childs head/mind??

You really need to see this Disney movie Inside Out.

We went with the kids, and had a awesome time. 

I even cryed.......It's great for young and old

****

Have been trying some braids again

First wasn't as beautifull as I hoped

It's more somethings for thick hair, so it was a one time thing

The other braid was a super match with Kira's hair.

It's not a straight french braid, and I loved it very much, I even kept Kira her separation ( didn't found a good word for it)

Perfect for swim class, will try it more

***

Noah';s blanket :(

I got tired of it..

But before it I finished a milestone...

20 X 20 = 400 squares

I working on something else, hope after it I will crochet again on the blanket.. I really wanne finished it, the longer It's a WIP, the sooner it will be a UFO, and I really don't want that.

So for the other thing that I started........

The start of a poncho, bought the yarn last year, also started then but with a pattern I selfmade, and it was not so fun.

So started again, as I found a beautifull freebie

Kira wore it too school this morning, but it's not finished.

Need to add a few more rows and decoration.

But I'm already in love with it.

And very girly :))

***

Last week I was baking with the kids

Chocolate cake.

Kids made it them selves

It was yummy

And Kira has a new favorite, she wants to eat it every day.

And the lucky thing is, I love it also very much

QUICHE

Baked pie, Kira calls is

***

Saterday there was a day they organized your very first Judo competition.

Kids who had never done a competition could try one.

We signed Noah in, and he had so much fun

Look at the pictures/

Left above Noah is the left boy. right below Noah is the boy above the other.

Noah played 4 matches, and as a big surprise he won them all.

He really had fun.

At the end a picture of him with his girlfriend and teacher, that was so great.

He got a document, see his proud face.

In two weeks is a real competition, 

We are so curious how he will find that. ...

So be continued.......

Hope you all have a lovely evening.

As you all know a while back I was hooked on teh serie Once upon a time.

There are new episodes... and the fun thing.

a lazy sunday...

Hello everyone,

How are you all?

I wanne thank you all for the congratz wishes on Noah's birthday in my last post.

The day after he celebrated it at school, and his teacher shares the same birthday and turned 60 so a big party was there on school, Noah loved it to sit in front of everyone together with his teacher

This is from in his class when they sing for Noah and he could treat

Mommy's always can come and watch ( we bring the treat and make photo's...hihi)

Yesterday we had the family party

That means cooking and baking

As it where busy weeks, I wanted to do it simple

I baked a whip-cream, and Noah wanted to help decorate

He was such a great help... :))))

But then how to decorate it.. he wanted a dolphin

So i started to draw with a knife a dolphin on the cake

I knew I had blue decorate stuff for cakes, so filled the dolphin with it

I think it worked out great

and then the finish::::::

We al loved it, Noah also!!

I also baked 2 apple-pie's

For dinner I made Lasagna and Saffron-Pasta, but I forgot to take a picture.

I did made this picture

Tomato with mozzarella

My favorite when I'm cooking a Italian dinner.

Noah had a awesome day

Spoiled with presents, playing with friends and nephews

And here Kira playing with her niece with dolls and horses

It was a great day..

So that's why today we are having a lazy sunday.

Watching Disney movies together, eating the pie's we have left from yesterday.

I even went for a run outside, did 7 km..... 

Today is the first in weeks we also have a dry and sunny day... Loving it!!

Hope you all have great weather too.

***

I finally finished my attic.

Boy boy.. what did i save a lot...

Now we have more room, It looks great, and kids already having fun,.

I sold some stuff on Facebook, and bought some games on Facebook back.

This was the best I think

 Twister.......

Noah loves it so much.. and I could buy it cheap.. and kids are having fun

***

As you see on the above picture I braided Kira's hair with something new

I loved how it looked.

Yesterday I wanted to try it again.

And just know seeing I did another braid

This is a photo from this morning, didn't put it on the photo yesterday.

Friday I did a France braid, Yesterday did a Dutch braid.

I like the France braid more..

See the princes with the crown.. hihihi

Have a great day all.

 ♥ Have a great day ♥

Where was the beginning of September???

I hear I'm not the only one who has that problem.

Time really flies by so fast.

I had a few very busy weeks.

But the best of all it's the birthday of Noah!!!!! :)

It's today!!!!

My little big boy turned 7 years!!, 

can you imagine? 

That also means i'm blogging for almost 7 years, I started when he was 6 months.

And the best thing of all.

They had the day off from school, so we planned his kids party today

The weather didn't worked with his, but still it was a great party.

We planned a treasure hunt/search

And the kids loved it.

Hubby and I made a book with clues, they all got one, and then it was looking where we need to go

 We all wore rain-clothes

We also did games

And went to the butcher and baker for a treat that I organized.

Back home, we where cold, so ........ hot chocolat and whipcream.

then we played BINGO

I think that is a game that all kids like, as the 8 who where sitting at my table LOVED it really much :), and the funny part, Noah won 2 times, as only one

So special to win at your own birthday.

And then last but not least.

Eating pancakes!!!!!!!

I baked a lot of pancakes last night, and look at them.. yum yum yummy!!

I didn't do a theme this year, and already think what to do with the party next year.

This really was the first time that it was raining at Noah's party, we normally always had awesome weather on his birthday.

****

So the 31th of August the school started again where we live.

And kids where very happy.

That also means that Kira finally could go to swimming class, that she was asking for so long, but I told her after the long summer break she can start

She is loving it so much, it's really funny to see her with a big smile walking inside the swimming pool and important, she swims with her best friend, who is the little brother of Noah's girlfriend with who he swim. And the live in our street. How about that!!

For Noah that means starting school swimclass, he already has all his diplomas, but he still love swimming .

Noah is with the black shirt next to his girlfiend

Here in the Netherlands it's really going away school swim. Now it's only in the second class ones in the 2 weeks, When I was younger it was a few years and every week, but budgets.............

( hihi a short break, Kira came downstairs in her bathrobe and Frozen bathslippers,   mommy I'm so tired I can't sleep...she looked so cute. back in to bed, I think she sleeps already, she had a busy day)

* * * 

What also started was my new workplace, maybe some of you can remember, at the beginning of the year I told you I changed workplace, and now I changed again but this time in my home-town, so I can ride my bike to work.

Its what I asked about 2 years ago, then It still needed to be build and now it was done.

I work in a house with 6 people with dementia, and I take care of them, mostly in the evening and at night, so I have my night-shift back again. And I love them so much.

We are open for more then 2 weeks now, and I really love it.

It's very beautifull work, and the place is awesome

Before it started I crafted a bit for my job

For decoration on the house. The mouse and the bird are for dementia people who are very restless, 'it can' give them tranquility when the 'play' with them in there hands. 

And as I loved the little coasters, I made one for myself but then a bigger one

 And using it as a doily for my plant.

It's a really easy pattern, it's a dutch one, but when I find it in Englisch I will share it. Or when somebody wants to make it I will translate it.

* * * 

I love to eat avocado, but they are not cheap here. So I tought lets try and grow a little tree.

And one seed is doing very good

I just see this a old picture, for my next post I will make a new one as it's really bigger.

Kids love seeing how it grows.

They say it take 4 years till we can see the first avocado. And as some of you know I really don't have any patience........:( , we will see what will come of it.

I will keep you updated.

* * * 

Then Noah's  R2D2 blanket, as I worked really much and started cleaning out my attic, my time to craft was short.

I didn't made it to finish it before his birthday, but we are getting closer and closer

Here my last update from almost 2 weeks ago

I still need to crochet 202 squares, then it's finished.

I will try and do 2 tonight, as I;m a bit tired of the day, and the next few weeks I will try and finish it.

My attic is almost done, I really pulled all stuff from his place sort it out cleaned it all and put it back ( I have really big problems with a house-friendly-bug, that I don't like).. the transcan was very happy, also sold a few things. Now working on the last part, then I can craft more. As I also sorted out most of my craft supplies, so I really hope soon more craft updates, from more different crafts. My fingers already itching when I think of what I all wanne make....... ;)

But first Noah's blanket.....

I hope you all are having a lovely week, I saw my blogloving is getting fuller and fuller.

O yes before I forgot.

My relationship with bloglovin is almost over, I really HATE it now after the last update.

When I open it and read a blog , and refresh my page, he puts all blogs on read, so I can't see the post who where new/unread anymore. that happend 3 times, so I think I missed some blogs to read. I havent watch it on my laptop since a week, as I don't have that problem on my phone where it's a app.

This and next week I will try and catch up with reading, I don't hope it happens again, because then I need to find a other program to keep up with blogs

Are there more bloggers who have this problem????

Have  a great week, see you all soon again

I wanna thank everyone for visiting my blog and especially everyone who leaves a comment!!

 I love reading them!! 

 ♥ Have a great day ♥
