:-)

Recently I acquired:

3 different fabrics

2 concert tickets

1 plane ticket 

Me happy :-D

That time of the year

It's that time of the year again.

It's sewing time:

It's crafting time:

It's woodworking time:

 

 

And it was totally worth it :-)

National day of culture

This year I celebrated the National cultural holiday abroad, in Ravenna, Italy.

Casually walking around mosaics dating from the year 450.

Yes, 450.

They did have a questionable fashion sense back then...

 

But with this calendar they could predict Easter for the years 532 to 626.

 

 

Plenty of new mosaics around the town.

 

And other sorts of modern art as well :-)

Reupholstering kitchen chairs

After ten years, the kitchen chairs really needed new fabrics.

And as you can guess by now, I am not a beige person.

 

So the chairs are no longer brown and beige, they are brown, yellow and green :-)

 

More cakes!

Another weekend, another birthday party, so more delicious food.

It started on Friday already by celebrating the Candlemas with tons of pancakes.

And continued on Saturday with fondue, empanadas and more cakes.

To be more precise, one raspberry-white chocolate-almond tart and one tiramisu.

They were both super delicious but surprisingly, eating them together was even better :-)

And you can also notice the green paper napkins with wild boars. They were brought especially for this occasion from Chambord castle in the Loire Valley.

And there were candles! One cannot properly celebrate birthday without blowing out the birthday candles, right?

 

And yes, there were a lot of them. Oh well...
