Dutch or English, no problem...website is in both languages! 

Crochet!

My newest creation..... spaghetti-crochet!  Something I can do at the moment while being pregnant.

 It doesn't involve using glues and stuff I can't at the moment because of the pregnancy.

 I'll start my 'pimp up stuff'  hobby again after this baby is born :D 

The good thing about this one as well is that I can do this relaxing&sitting on the sofa and watch some television! 

Cakepops!! Surprising my dear colleagues from the school I worked at the last 4 months.

They really liked it! 

Mhmmmm Irish chocolate cake!!

Simone's amazing world of TEA part three

I like the different kind of wrapping...

Korean Tea!!!

A friend brought it home for a special moment. He wanted to try it.

Since I'm such a tea-fan, he let me try it. Strangely enough, I liked it... Can't describe the taste though. It was just odd... hahaha....

Schiermonnikoog

If you would like to see a part of The Netherlands that you have never seen before, I would like to give you an idea. In the north of The Netherlands you will find some islands. They're called "De Waddeneilanden" There are Dutch ones and German ones.

Big ones, small ones. Some of them are famous for their sheep & cranberries, others for there natural enviroments. Some are very touristy-like, others are more for people that look for peace & quiet.

A few weeks ago I went to Schiermonnikoog with my English husband, his mum and dad and my mum and dad. It's one of the smaller islands. When the water is very low, you could even walk from the island to the mainland and vica versa. The village on the island is tiny and has old houses. (from 1700/1800) It's like walking through an open air museum. The little shops are adorable and there is even an old fashion candyshop! The boattrip is also an event itself. If you ae lucky (and we were on the way back) you will spot some seelions. A great day out, even when it rains!!!

One of the other islands that I can recomment as well is Ameland. It's a bit bigger and has on either side a little village. If you want to go more touristy-like you can visit Terschelling or Texel.

Have fun exploring a different part of The Netherlands.

Low water? You can walk to the mainland. It's going to take you hours and you will get wet! Don't do the walk without a guide. When the water comes in again you're in big trouble!!
