Made by Kate!

Made by Kate last week, a first from the sewing machine. It’s a simple bag, we use it for her ‘little home shop’, quite cute hah!

View on the river ‘Maas’

View on the river Maas, Lloydpier, near our house. Enjoy!

It’s cold outside

It’s getting cold outside (at night it’s already freezing and up north in Holland it snowed…) but that’s so refreshing. We went outside on the walking-bike I showed you yesterday (the 2 wheels) and stranded in a playgarden nearby. Great to sit on a swing together and sing some songs!

From 3 to 2 wheelies

Time for Kate to say goodbye to three wheels (se above) and say hello to two (underneath)!

Letter ‘E’

We just had lunch, Kate ate a brown bowl of bread. Being just 3 years old she couldn’t resist playing with her food and she tear of the crust. Here the result, she shouted:

“Look mum, the letter E (huh?)!!!”

A happy moment…

Brother & sister

Tadaaaa!!

 

Lets try a fox today

Found a fox I drawn a few years ago, see above. While Kate was painting I tried some variations on it. Still think the orginal is the most sympathic….

Smashing red coat!

Since 2 years now I’ve been wanting a new coat for the winter. Last year I bought one on the wordlwideweb but returned it cause it was an unpracticle coat. The weekend before this, my love and I went away for one weekend; on our way there I said “Maybe I stumble upon a nice coat”…. and see what happens if your not searching!!!

Red is my offical favourite colour from now one. Look at this post: Smashing red dress

Night out at Hotel New York

Went out yesterday with my friend Mariska to Hotel New York. A historic place in Rotterdam, now a hotel/restaurant. The idyllic thing about it that you can get there by watertaxi, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done that and with all the lights you see when your on the rives ‘Maas’ I realised how stupid it was to go out without my camera!!!!! Now my I-phone had to do it’s best, see here ! We had lot’s of talk and a few wines. Before leaving we visited the shop in the hotel and I bought a postcard to show you and took some flyers with me.

 

 

Inspirations!

For the last year now I’ve been buying my clothes from the internet. One of my favourite shops is COS (they’ve also opened a shop in Rotterdam, yeeah!):

When you go to their website you get instant inspiration from their pages ‘MAGAZINE’. Above you see a picture from the blog of Jen Causey, a photographer who makes a picture from her breakfast every day, this photo makes me instant happy:

Today I stumbled upon a webshop for interior products called LABOUR & WAIT:

Graphically this site is a beautie too!
