Week in the Life | Saturday Thrifting

After the Crayfish Party Friday I slept over at my parents, and woke up to a real Saturday breakfast on the veranda. My cat Smilla lives with my parents, in their house with the freedom to go outside when ever she wants to. She is a happy cat, but of course I miss her a […]

Summer time crafting

Summer time crafting

One of my favorite creative habits in summer is mom and me craft-time. Well, it’s a favorite any time of the year but in summer we often set up camp in the veranda of my parents house. If it’s a sunny day we open all the windows and soak in sun. Both mom and I […]

Easter Bunny #1 | Meet Tsatsiki

Our fluffy little bunny could easily be a photomodel for a Easter Card, right? But then again, he always jumps away… My brother (soon a teenager therefore also called Monster JR) has got the cutest little bunny ever, who is called Tsatsiki. I always let him out of his cage and watch him jump around. […]
