Made It! #22

~ I love Pinterest and would like to make a recipe of my boards every week. Since I have lots of recipes pinned (that, until now, I just pinned and only that), I hope this will be a way to reduce the amount of pins on my boards ~
 
Last week I announced I would make the Lemonade, because since we went to Sicily a couple of weeks ago, I'm totally into lemons. 

 So here's mine.


Instead of the whole cup of sugar used in the original recipe, I only used four table spoons. That's sweet enough for me. I also used only two lemons for the lemon juice. So it's actually more something in between lemonade and lemon infused water. Fresh and cold, perfect for warm summer days.

For next week I would like to make this Vegan Key Lime Ice Cream. It caught my eye because of the Key Limes. I only tasted those limes in a milk shake, that I had once when I was at Robert Is Here in Homestead, Florida (anyone knows the place?), while on vacation. Living in The Netherlands I don't think I can find the real Key Limes, but they sell regular limes here, so that has to do the trick.
 
Honestly, I'm very curious about this recipe. I think, but it's just thinking, that I will be the only one in my family who will like this ice cream (which is good, because I can have it all for myself).

    I don't like it overly sweet either, so this sounds good. :)

    I love lemons and lemonade. In my humble opinion, there isn't anything that doesn't taste better by the addition of lemon juice, sourcream or avocado! LOL

    Sounds refreshing. I like a hot water and lemon every morning but a nice cold and slightly sweetened lemon drink on a hot day sounds just lovely.

    I love my lemonade to be sweet/tart. More often I do a lemon infused water with either basil or mint. Either is delicious over ice, especially when it's hot! Looking forward to your vegan ice cream results. Thanks for sharing with us at Creatively Crafty #ccbg :)

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  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

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of
