Christmas Wreath

My sister-in-law sent me a link to a wreath making workshop a couple of weeks ago. I never go to workshops, because I like to do that sort of things in my own home, but a friend of mine wanted to go, too. Maybe it's nice to go together, I thought. So this weekend we went off to the little village where we grew up, because that was where the workshop was. It was nice to be back in the place where we both lived for so many years. Not that I never came back all those years, because my brother still lives there, but I'm not part of the community anymore. The town house, where the workshop took place, still smelled like all those years ago. Funny how a smell can bring back lively memories.

Anyway, this is the wreath I made. It's hanging on my front door.

    Gorgeous wreath! I have been taking the easy way out for the past few years and making swags. This beauty you've made will look great for the whole winter season while still being plenty Christmassy for right now!

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Crochet Bag

After making this little lunch bag for me, my oldest daughter wanted a bag of her own of course. I had some pink polkadot left over after making the lunch bag and with some yarn, a crochet hook and a sewing machine I created this little bag for her: Bag closed with drawstring Bag open Bottom For who wants a pattern of the triangle grannies: I used the same pattern that I used for this bunting (with tutorial)! www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Whenever my husband or I have a reason to give something to each other, we always give a book. There may be other presents, too, but there's always a book also. I think it isn't very difficult to find something for me, because there aren't a lot of topics I'm not interested in.  To find something for my husband is a lot more difficult. What sort of book do you buy for someone who reads a book called 'Calculus' before he goes to bed? And yes, 'Calculus' is just what you think it is when you hear its name: a book about math, a book full of formulas (my husband is a scientist, as you may have guessed). So most of the time I give him books about places where we've planned to go, because anything with formulas in it is beyond me. This month we go to Antwerp, Belgium. It isn't really for Valentine's Day, but because we go without the girls, it's sort of a romantic weekend, so I bought a Lonely Planet about Belgium and packed it as a Valenti
