Wat heb ik lieve kaarten en gulle cadeautjes in de allermooiste verpakkingen ontvangen tot zo ver van mijn beste online blogger collega’s en vriendjes! Dank jullie wel hoor! Ik ben ontzettend blij en wat een ontzettende fijne manier om Kerstmis in te gaan!

Thank you from left to right: Damaris Dani and Juno, Jane, Carmen, V., Audrey (and for the cute paper stationery!), Jane, Jessy, Cindy and Louise! 

A little DIY project came with it and look Jessy! Did I do well with the penguin? 

Cadeautjes & presents

Thank you Carmen for the generous gifts! The cork wallet is so pretty (currently in love with cork) and such a great way to store hook pens and scissors indeed c: 
and Cindy you sure know how to put a smile on my face: green tea chocolate! Thank you so much and for panda key strap and crochet goodies!

 Me and Natalie did a little snack box swapping with the idea: snacks from our country! 
I got her Dutch snacks and Natalie got me this whole box filled with typical Australian snacks, why hello there!
Thank you Natalie! I sometimes spot these Tim Tams on tv and I always wonder how they taste like. Now I can, so thank you again! I'll let you know what I think about Vegemite in chocolate haha!

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!

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
