Two crafters in a big city
EN
Last week I had a
blogmeeting with Carmen of Creacarmen! I’ve been following her crafty blog
for awhile and also being a fan of her work. So when she contacted for a meet-up
and to knit/crochet things together, I of course said yes! After all I've still got a lot to learn in knitting.
So that being said, we have
set a date and we’ve decided to meet-up in
My first impression of Carmen:
what a short sweetlooking girl! And she was really nice as well. Even though
it was the first time we saw each other, it clicked immediately. Did you know
she can speak Chinese/Manderin? I so envy her!
We've spend a lot of talking, eating and of course taking photo's. Lots of photo's for you to enjoy! |

Vorige week had ik een blogmeeting met Carmen van
Creacarmen! Ik volgde haar blog al een tijdje en ben ook een enorme fan van
haar creatieve brei/haak werkjes! Toen ze vroeg of we samen konden afspreken
voor een brei/haakmiddagje samen zei ik natuurlijk ja! Gotta love
spontaniteit niet?
Dus zo gezegd zo gedaan en al snel een datum
geprikt. De plek van ontmoeting vond plaats in Rotterdam.
Mijn 1e indruk van Carmen: wat een klein
schattig meisje! Ze was ook heel aardig. Ook al zagen we toen elkaar voor het
eerst, het klikte meteen. Wist je dat ze volleerd Chinees/Manderijns sprak?
Hoe vet is dat?!
We hebben over van alles gekletst, onze buikjes rond gegeten en natuurlijk ontbreekt foto's maken niet! Heel veel foto's trouwens: |
We have left our traces at the following places: Ten to Three Bakery // Harolds // Vapiano // Piekfijn // Gamasot // Boguette
A quick bite at Ten to Three. I had my first salted caramel cupcake! It leaves such sticky hands and mouth but the cupcake was yum! ♥♥♥♥ 4/5
All their signs are made out of cardboard!
I've bought this adorable plate!
For only €225,- its all yours. The pedals are broken by the way...
Being a blogger c;
Being a first-timer at Vapiano, I didn't know how this card work. Noob. Anyway, I managed to get some food eventually.
We both have chosen for the pumpkin soup with a drizzle of balsamic and slices of baquette! It was a lovely thick, creamy soup! ♥♥♥♥♥ 5/5

Man I looked tired... anyway, we swapped gifts: I got her my 'strawberry cheesecake' ring and I got this most adoooorable orange crochet kitten! THANK YOU
After finishing our pumpkin soup and chit-chats, we finally got down to business with crocheting. And we've made a garland!
A cute miniature tree at Harolds. I've purchased a new HB pencil here.
My 'matcha' greentea flavored bubble tea was ok. Too much milk I think. ♥♥ 2/5
We've ordered a batch of these dummies 'dumblings' they were tasty and vegetarian as well!
Apart the dumplings we've also had fried prawns, kimchi, the salmon 'binimbap' and miso soup. ♥♥♥♥ 4/5

Carmen's crochet kitten is adorable! I've fallen in love with salted caramel but I've only ever had the ice cream and hot chocolate. I NEED to try the flavour in cupcake form :o

Gamasot is soooo yummy!! Wanna go back!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help but laugh at the typo "dumbling" :) Clearly somebody ought to tell them to proofread their menu... Anyways, looks like you had a great time. My friend and I have made a mini tradition of mailing each other crocheted/knitted gifts once the cold front hits. Right now I am really dying to knit and crochet a new set of winter accessories.

Ziet er echt super leuk en gezellig uit! Ik kende haar blog nog niet dus ga eens even neuzen! Ik wil het ook kunnen haha
ReplyDeleteit must be nice, being able to meet a fellow blogger TTvTT also, i find it really...um, how to say, awesome that both of you are enthusiasts for knitting and handcrafts.. i don't get how people have the patience for making such tiny things so i'm always in awe for that haha i'm stupid in crafty field and i don't think i can even treat those little things nicely either :P ...now i feel destructive what the heck
ReplyDeletepumpkin soup is awesome! i tend to make pumpkin puree too at home..hm,i call it pumpkin "soup" but i don't know if it can even stand on the same ground as the official (restaurant-served ahem) pumpkin soup, not in terms of flavor but in terms of appearance. then again, pumpkin soup started off from pumpkin puree right? :P
and yea pumpkin soup with bread is delicious :3 sometimes, i change pumpkin to cauliflower or broccoli too bahahaha
ah, the menu's written in..um, dutch language, isn't it? i read it out loud and it was like trying to speak french aka i kind of roll my tongue and lips weirdly haha language is fun~ xD
gah, now i'm drooling for chap chae (lol, i thought it's supposed to be japchae but whatever bah) :P and the bimbap ;w; every time i hear korean food, though, i had to sigh because kimchi.... i'm not eating kimchi. i don't like kimchi (or how it looks? uh..my apology, even though it's veggie and i love veggie) OTL it's like forcing me to eat wasabi, something i will never do. haha
What a fun time you had! I cannot believe there is such a thing as a cheescake ring. I want! You and your new friend are very talented. Everything you created looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteZag er super leuk uit! :)
