Herringbone Stitch Cushion

 How was your Christmas? Mine was great, although different than planned. We had invited my husband's parents and my own parents, but since we are in lockdown again (The Netherlands) we had to divide them over two days. Two days in the kitchen for cooking and baking, but never mind: I love cooking and baking! 

We also divided the presents over two days, to the delight of my daughters. I love to make at least one of the presents for my daughters myself. For my youngest (10 years old) I made Pony Sky, that I showed you some weeks ago. For my oldest I made this cushion in herringbone stitch. In the summer I made this bag in herringbone stitch and it's my favorite crochet stitch ever since. I used bulky yarn for this cushion and I love the result.

    Ahhh what a darling cushion. It looks exactly the type of cushion you'd want to cuddle up on watching an evening movie. You are very talented! #Alittlebitofeverything

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

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
