Some weeks ago I shared my new bb18 crochet project on the kitchen table.

A new version of my 'good old' baby blanket, with a new design of black squares.

The first multicolored baby blanket I made in 2010; check this :-)

You can find the black bb18 blanket in my ETSY SHOP. There's only one.

(the last picture shows a tiny piece of bb18 white version that will follow soon...)

Sunday morning - 29th of July - Nationaal Park De Biesbosch, Dordrecht.

Delta of rivers, cultivated land, willow forests and polders.

The Biesbosch is the largest freshwater tidal area in Europe. It's a river delta, where the tide still has free play.

Urban jungle around the corner. Wonderful to live close to nature, it's less than 5 km from our house.

Summervibes in the backyard...

During our adventurous weeks in Sicily, we sometimes went 'alla spiaggia' and spent a relaxing day on a typical Italian summer bed on the beach.

Those who have been in Italy, know that these beds are s u p e r comfortable and the small adjustable sunroof is really great when you want to read a book, look on your phone or just want to lie in the shade with your face.

We agreed, we need an Italian sunbed in our backyard. It's so easy when you can leave the sunbed outside all summer and the bed is light enough to carry it by yourself and move it around in the garden. Our vintage bamboo daybed is too heavy to take outside on a sunny afternoon, I can't move it by myself.

Moreover, we know from experience that it is good to invest in quality when it comes to garden furniture. We are enjoying our Fermob furniture for years now, and it's outside all year.

The summer of 2018 has been excellent so far, so we decided to go for an Italian lounger right away when we came home from Sicily.

We ordered a weatherproof aluminum sunbed at LIGBED EXPRESS, they have a huge choice of colors, designs and materials. We went for v e r d e, a beautiful fresh green!

The sunbed was delivered from Italy super fast to our home. So everyone is happy with it and we are using the bed in turns (haha, some even lay a towel on the bed, to reserve it...) Sicilian summervibes in the backyard!

I can recommend it to everyone, treat yourself to a real Italian lounger. Instant summer feeling guaranteed!
