Have a peek into my life in Holland and Hong Kong from last month. I'm actually trying to clean up my SD memory card and gaining back some of my phone space because I have taken too many pictures (and films!) like I always do. So please enjoy a long scroll down below!

Neem een kijkje in mijn leven in Nederland en Hong Kong van afgelopen maand! Ik probeer namelijk mijn SD kaart op te schonen en wat ruimte in mijn telefoon te creëren, want ik heb alweer - niet al te verrassend - veel foto's (en films!) gemaakt. Veel plezier met het scrollen!

From Holland
Enjoying the interview with Coldplay on television.
Handmade presents for my colleagues and attending grade 6 school musical.

A boy from grade 6 drew this beautiful rose for me. He knows how well I can draw and he was really worried about my opinion about his rose.
Catching up at a nice café, yes.
This is my aunts cat who passed away last week sadly.
This is called a `Little Free Library` and it is a super nice concept I think because it opens opportunity to free reading and saving the environment too. Read more about this global action down below:

Here I`ve ordered a hazelnut latte but it seems that `De BaristaBus` has forgotten to add the hazelnut flavor! The coffee overall tasted nice though.

I miss this!
I`ve tried the apple crumble Mcfluffy (is ok), the pineapple pie (yum!) and the orange punch drink (refreshing!).
A vending machine with old fashion Asian beauty products.

EN Or you can call them ‘scrubbies’ but I use them to create whip cream for my crochet cakes and cupcakes! They also make great home decorations by putting them into a maison jar! Did I just inspire you to make them as a gift for your friend, mum, girlfriend..? I’ll say: go for it! NL Of ze worden ook wel ‘scrubbies’ genoemd en ze zijn bedoeld om je lichaam mee te wassen en te scrubben. Maar mijn versie is klein en dienen ze als toefjes slagroom op mijn gehaakte taartjes en cupcakes! Ook doen ze aardig als huis decoraties bijvoorbeeld in een leuke glazen pot! Ik zou zeggen: maak ze voor je vriendin, mama, GF!  Echt een leuk blij makerij c:    You need:  Cotton yarn or wool ,  crochet hook (cotton = 2 - 3 mm, wool = 3 - 4 mm) ,  scissor ,  needle       I've actually stuffed a bit of stuffing in it.    The Steps: Row 1: chain 11 Row 2: skip first stitch and start with the 2nd stitch (see picture)

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas! Happy bunch of bananas because a banana provides good energy to our body, anti-stress and of course is a good snack for every monkeyheads like us! Like always I tend to keep it simple and this banana crochet is very novice, I promise. And if not you can always leave a comment or a mail for questioning. Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na een heerli

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/broodjes/Da
