In the mood for a brand new year, yay!



Today is the last day of the holidays, tomorrow we will have the normal going of things,...
and I am in the mood for a brand new year!


hm, I did made some New Years resolutions for myself, but I should rather call them plans or dreams:

- launching new jewelry lines

- proceeding my silver classes and following some extra workshops

- drinking tea instead of coffee

- baking more vegetable pies :-) at least once a week!

- making a new running scedule

- designing a new blog banner

- lots of other plans and dreams that I will reveal one by one in this blog :-)

so welcome every time, dear blogreaders, to take a peep here!

Welcome 2010!



Dear blogreaders,
it has been a wile, since my last blogpost.
These days have been so hectic, mostly filled with visiting family and driving from one side of the country (where lives my mother)to the other side for visiting my family in law!
Our car broke down during one of these trips. I can tell you, having a broken car at 8 pm on the highway (already dark and no lights!)with 4 kids in the car, and still 100 km from home is not a joke!
hm, at those moments of bad luck I am always thinking the bad luck could be worse: an accident with injuries, a total loss car.....
Anyway we reached home around midnight and were so happy to find a warm home, with cosy warm beds and a hot cuppa soup,...
In fact ..........we are so lucky!

Well, this first day of the year I want to bring a toast on my lovely husband and my 4 kids, they are the most cherised treasures I ever had!
Although it's not always easy to manage a 4kids household I could not live without it anymore :-)))

But I also want to toast on you , my dear blogreaders and Est friends, for your support and comments, I hope the new year will bring us lots of inspiration!

Merry Christmas!


Whatever you celebrate these days, I hope that you can do it with and in the company of your loved ones!! Happy Christmas :-)

a book for mama... and the kids

Some weeks ago I had a booth at the Fair of the Teunisbloem in Gent,
I shared a place with Ibooks, a well known book shop in Gent.
Gosh, nothing could be more dangerous for me: I am a children books addict!
and yes: I found this one below, with the most cute illutrations! drooling!
Illustrations by Dutch Illustrator: Noelle Smit
'vandaag is alles zoek
twee knopen van mijn jas
mijn rode boekentas
en mijn wollen zebradas
ja, vandaag is alles zoek,
zelfs mijn zusje in dit boek'

Zeer herkenbare schattige rijmpjes in 'klop klop klaar, ben je daar...'
van Riet Wille, Illustraties door Noƫlle Smit
Uitgegeven bij www.lannoo.com
Heel leuk voorleesboek voor kleuters en eerste lezertjes.
I books vind je hier.
