first picnic of the season

First picnic 2022.

We went to the park with Liam in the pram and a picnic basket, but the lawns were still too damp. So we made a walk in the park and ended up in our backyard for a picnic lunch on a Masai Mara blanket.

We had lunch and mini enjoyed his pumpkin-rice snack.

And the uber cute jacket Liam-Novi is wearing, is a handmade jacket from Greece (bought in 1992), which I kept all this time and that his mother and uncle also wore as a baby.

March has been generous with sunshine! Tomorrow it will snow. Would it...?

opening kunstkerk dordrecht

Dordrecht - Thursday 24th of March - festive exhibition opening at Kunstkerk Dordrecht.

Yesterday we were invited to a preview of the exhibition NIET MEER NORMAAL by Anouk Kruithof, an artist from Dordrecht, in the new Kunstkerk.

From tomorrow Kunstkerk will open its doors to the public. Come and see! (free entrance)

It's a divine meeting place and production house. A place where artists, culture makers and scientists are invited to create new work.

striped baby blanket - crochet pattern

A brandnew baby blanket for Liam-Novi.

He just loves to sleep in his cozy bamboo crib under a blanket when he's with us.

You know I made quite some baby blankets in my woodwoolstool career, but making a blanket for your own grandchild is something completely different.

Liam loves colors and so do I, so that's a good thing.

Last year I made a similar blanket for his baby room when Pippa was pregnant. This striped baby blanket is square and an updated version and not the same crochet pattern as the natural baby blanket. It's a perfect crochet project to use up yarn leftovers.

You can find the renewed CROCHET PATTERN in my Etsy shop. Easy level with crochet chart, tips & tricks, in English and Dutch.
