Back from a rainy getaway

Hello lovelies!

I've been enjoying a little getaway with Mr. L. and family. One whole week we enjoyed nature and good company. Unfortunatly, we had a lot of rain so walking times were scarce. The times we did enjoy nature were great, we even met a wild boar. I couldn't make a photo of it, since it was quite shocked by my scream * I am quite the hero haha *.


Remember this snake? I gave it to my nephew and he loved it, so it had to come with him to Ermelo. His name is now Jan de slang (John the snake). Baby bear has such lovely little hands to hold the snake! Cannot get enough of him, although the little bear is a fulltime job. So the respect for my sister in law grew even more for all the hard work and love she gives her little one. Also for my mother in law, who sparkles and smiles all day long despite a chronic lack of sleep.
We also visited the "Dolfinarium", an amusement park with marine life like dolphins and sea lions. There were some amazing shows and a lot of oooeeeehhs and aaaaaaahs. 



Despite all the great memories that we made in this wonderful week, I also missed blogland. I have a lot of catching up to do, lots of nice new posts of my favorite blogs still to be read and of course I have been busy on my own projects of which I will share more later on. It was delightful to return to our own little cottage on the eighth floor. I crawled on the couch for some cuddling and hooky time:



Aaaaah, so good to be home again! Talk to you soon! lots of love,


Suzanne

Done!

Hi darlings,

It is finished! My little side project is done :-D. Wanna see?




As said before it is inspired by a post of Lucy of Attic24, but I don't have the pattern. I just improvised. Even though I just started crocheting, I love how it turned out! It is a gift for my baby nephew, it also has a little bell hidden in the tail. I hope he likes it! Otherwise, Puck will probably claim it, he is already obsessed with it.

In between

Hello dears,

How was your monday? Mine was a bit dull to be honest. I had to work today and I could not help thinking about my crochet works that I really want to finish! I am currently working on a granny stripe blanket. I already love it, back and forth, back and forth. Sitting on my sofa with the dog on my lap and pretending to be interested in the Tour the France *Mr. L. is addicted*.

Since I will be working on this huge project, I need some small ones that are done in between! I just need some finished things in between to keep me going with the bigger ones...is that weird?

So, I also have a small project going on. Inspired by this cute little project of the well known Lucy from Attic24 I decided that I really wanted one too! I don't have the pattern, but a snake is just around and around and around until it is the size you want it to be. It is not totally done, it still needs eyes and a tongue. Yet, Puck already found it haha. So, if it is totally done I will post some color pictures. For now, just a teaser ;-).

Have a great week! Love, Puck and Suzanne
