Thank you for visiting my blog :)

~ ♥  Family Time ♥ ~ 

Many of you said that the kids have grown so much!!

What I love about Facebook, is that you get older post to see as a memory 

Look at these:

♥ 4 years ago! ♥

( we went to the woods because it woud be lovely weather.. but it rained... Noah does not like that.. you can see it :) )

So cute are my sweet kids.. love them so much

Then a while back my joungest brother put a piture of us on Facebook

There you can see the younger me... :O

It was in my first house. 

Hubby just moved in. 

We had a Party. 

I think it was for his 24 birthday.. 

So this is me about 10 years ago.. 

I was in too the long skirts at that moment..

My little brother was in his Skate-board phase  :) :)  whahahahha

So funny to see old pictures

You all know Noah is doing Judo.. He still loves it..

Now he is 8, so he is in the U10 group

That means when he has a compitition he needs to go up to kids who are 8-9-10 years old. 

That's hard fo him.. but so far he still likes it!!

Here a picture of that one of the last compititions he did. 

After he lost all his matches.. we went to the real Judoka.. 

Noah got his signature and I took a picture

 It's a very big men... while we where there he talked.. and a host asked him to take off his shirt...

Ow my.. .......

I need to go more to Noah his mathes.. hihihi

Little Kira is done with swimming now she got her second diploma just before the summer..

So she wanted to do Judo too.

And she loved it!!

2 weeks ago there was a compition.. and after 1,5 months judo training so wanted to also join it.

So she did it!!

Togheter with Noah

She got her first diploma, she had so much fun.

2 lost and 1 a te.. I'm so very proud that she did it!!

That day we also baked Sinterklaas cake... as you can see here and carrot cake.. my favorite cake to bake.

It was a fun day.. soon both have another judo compitition.. 

can't wait!! the day for Xmas..

~ ♥  Running ♥ ~ 

Last post I told you I was going to enter my first ever Half Marathon!!

Yesterday it was that day

From around May I started to train longer runs.. Slowly was running more km's each time

3 weeks ago I did the 21.1 km.. for the first time

I walked from water to water... I live between it... so beautfull to walk...

AND...... I run it in 2 hours!!

So yesterday when I had my real run that was my mission

BUT... last monday I got sick... wednesday I got even sicker, and also had 2 night shifts... 

I worked them... then saterday evening I had a evening shift also.. but was feeling a bit better, only tired..

Then sunday (yesterday) it was THE DAY

Together with my running-friend we went to the place. got there in time..

The plan to run in 2 hours wasn't in my mind..

But I wanted to run the first hour in the pace then maybe I still will get it in time.. and it was going so well. so after 1 our of running I tryed to run a little bit harder..

I can tell so many thing how I felt the last 5 km...

But let me tell you I DID IT!!

Hubby made this picture of me..

You can see the time..

My official time was 1:57:11....... In the 2 hours..

And without any pain...

When I was training I had a lot of troubles with my knees a few time I could not run for a  few weeks.. This was only the secoond time I run without pain a long distance..

I 'm so happy I run the Half Marathon.. and also so glad without any pain!!

Really hope I can keep it up

Next run is in 2 weeks.. it's in a very big city. and it;s at night...Two of my least favorite things...

I don't like big city's and Im afraid óf being in the dark outside =)..

I will run 15 km. over 7 bridges... 

This one I also hope to run in 2 hours.. hihihi

You will see more in a next post

~ ♥  Stitching ♥ ~

Still need to look for another picture of my stitching piece.. but I do have one of the kids.

Kira is working on her piece for a few months new.. some time she pickes it up does a few stitching and put it in the basket again.. Slowly her Horse piece is getting there.

And she got a new one from her Grandma.. so for a while she will be busy.

With Noah I started a little dolphin.. but still have to finish it... will look to it this week!!

~ ♥  Crochet ♥ ~

I was working on a doll for Kira, and her dance teacher asked me to make one for the dance-school

As a Mascott

This is what I made for the Dance school.. and Kira in her dance-outfit

The wig, is a wig the dance-school used a while back.. but was sitting in a box.. 

I needed too cut it a lot to it.. but she is finished

She is so beautifull!!

Now deed to finish the doll for Kira.. she only still needs hair.....

Hi there......

So again.. as I hoped not to leave blogland to long, it has been more then 3 months again.

I just went looking to a few bloggers pages..

Blogloving is still not my friend.. every time i look i see very little new post..

Or just like me many have it to busy with other things

I will see.. but I really missed it, so again going to try to post more often.. not as often as I have done the last years..

I notice my Englisch got a bit worse too.. so need to work on it all.

In the last months I haven't sit still.

The ones who follow me on Facebook or Instagram ( btw I love instagram.. I learned so much in a year) Have seen some things I have done.

At the moment I work a little bit more ( just had a 42 hour work , normally I work 16 hours a week)

I have a few colleagues who are ill, some of them for a long time. 

As I can help a bit more , I work a bit more.

I will try to show you in this and the next posts what I made the last 6 months or so

~♥~  Stitching  ~♥~

A while back, my neighbor girl, celebrated her birthday, I always make something for her birthday, I really had now idea, so asked her what to make, she asked for a pillow, like Noah but then with dolphins. I found this alphabet in my stash, and started.

Used pink fabric so sewn it in to a pillow, only can't find that picture ( while I was looking found so many old phot's of the kids.. so it 45 minutes later that I started to type.. lol)

Really have now Idea where i put the pic.. who knows, I will find it again..

But I;m stitching a bit again as you can see

~♥~  Crochet  ~♥~

My neighbor boy ( brother of.. ) also had hs birthday and is crazy about dino's

Anyone seen the new move The Good Dinosaur??

He loves it.. so I made the Dino Arlo with the little boy Spot for him

You can imagine he was very happy with it 

~♥~  Sewing  ~♥~

Ow boy I found my love for sewing back.. totally back ..

The school picture was coming up last month.. and I wanted to make them both something new for the pic.. ( did the same they where 4 months old... )

I found the most aweosme STARWARS fabric for Noah, and horse for Kira.

Noah is sweater is only that fabric, the one of Kira is only the front horses tje rest the grey.

Both are made with the same pattern the Thor shirt from teh magazine La Masion Victor. My NEW favorite magazine.

For Kira I made it a bit longer so it's a dress

Just made a fast pic of one of the school-pic

Aren't they getting big??  ♥ ♥

~♥~  Running  ~♥~

I'm still running every week. Mostly I try to do it 3 times a week.. but with work and many appoitment in the week, sometimes I need to cancel a day

But I had a few races.

This summer had one a few towns a head.

Is was 10 km.

I did a awesome job.. ( I sat in the nightshift, but wnated to do that race)

I had the 156ste place from all man and woman

I had the 12th place from only the woman

And the 3the place on my age ( i'm still in 20+.. whahaha)

Also walked a PR .. it's my best time on the 10 km so far

~~~

Then I started to train with a friend on the beach For THE running event in the area

She took all the pics from me ( also the one from the 10 KM)

That training went vert well and the 30th of September I had 2 races on 1 evening.

First the 5 km.. that was the important one.. I was hoping to get a place in the top 10.. 

 I did a awesome job again!!!

I got the 7th place of this Ladiesrun!!

I'm really so proud on what I did 

A few ours later I did the other run, but that one was for run, did it with my running-friend

We just wanted to walk a fun time the 11.5 km..

As we got over the finish, we saw we did a great job

Last year did that race also in 1 hour 20 minutes, this year for the first time there was a time registration

I got 199th place from all the man and woman and the 41th place from only the woman..

So proud, as we just walked it to walk it

For that evening got two beautifull medals and flowers from my friends

It was so fun to run..
